Being able to see vectors rendered as vectors (and not raster) in LazPaint.
I assume that this may add up some use of extra resources required to LazPaint, so as an option it would also be great.

I have just come across a bug in the printing settings (v.7.1.6 64 Bit on Win10 64Bit):
I tried to print an image on the right side of the page, so I tried to set so higher value of the Left border... and it occurred that I cannot set more than 100 (by the up/down button). And after I entered some value manually, the preview stopped updating (I changed multiple times the values of the left border, but the preview kept showing the same).
You could instead move the image by clicking and moving it in the page.

Some (more) ideas I'd like to see in LazPaint.

The current way to make shapes,curves in Lazpaint is indeed pretty nice, however it is something different from the traditional way that all the programs have implemented, I'm not sure how to describe this, basically the points that make the shape are controlled by external lines?
Yes that's classical Bézier curves. I am thinking also about adding it.

Hi Lainz

Yes I am alright. I've been doing some remote work so got a little more time for myself.  :)

Oh nice then :D

Here other idea, for now lazpaint shows all nodes(?) / point of shapes as "circles", but we have different kind, we have:

Autodetect angles (rect or curve)
Rect angles
Curved angles

All these are represented with a circle, I think it is better if depending on the type is indicated with a different shape.
Something like:
Rect angles with a triagle
Curved angles with the current circle
Autodect with a curved cone

Current way

The idea

Inkscape

I would also like something to change these "on the fly". instead of going to the option, click there and click on the point. Perhaps double-click on the circle using the Edit Shape tool.

Good idea.

You can change the type by pressing S/X/A when hovering the point.

Ah true, I forgot about the S/A/X buttons, that's a good way too.

The good thing is that you can mix software as Johann did in some video on his YouTube channel. You can mix lazpaint with Inkscape and together get more features. The easy way of drawing with lazpaint and the graphic design part with Inkscape.

Here some examples

In Inkscape

In Affinity Designer
https://i.ibb.co/4gDVbKc/affinity-designer-curves.gif

Again, the current LazPaint way is indeed pretty nice and original, however I think can be great have some option to make that things as with the other programs, without losing the possibility of also using the current way in which lazpaint does.

It's just my opinion but I think lazpaint is aimed as an easy to use tool understandable by everyone. Most complex software looses at this point.

While listening to "BIGWAVE - Emotional Prism" on YouTube I saw a drawing by Ilya Kuvshinov, and I ended up vectorizing it with LazPaint.
I leave the .lzp project file in case someone wants to make some modifications to it :)

How? the LZP is attached to the message, I downloaded it and opened it without any problem.

Something I am missing in LazPaint is fixed proportions for the selection (for example XNView has such).
For example if I need to have photos on photopaper, I could set fixed proportion with the proportions of the paper and then crop the image.
XNView has a set of proportion to select from the popup menu (4:3; 12:9; 5:4... etc.) and also a cutom proportion can be selected.
