How to insert a selection in an exact location of a canvas?

Recommended Posts

I tried to search for it but didn't find anything. I'm creating an image that have multiple images but I need to know the exact location of each top right corner in pixels. So it's much easier if I can put every selection exactly where I want like:

Image1-(0,0)

Image2-(0,5)

Image3-(5,0)

Image4(5,5)

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Maybe it's me but it doenst. It just moves the image across it's selection. I wanted to really say "put the right corner of this selection in (450,50)". 

 

EDIT: I used the rulers and it kinda shows me where i'm putting the selection but is not accurate enough.

Thanks a lot! I think that's exactly what I wanted! 

 

EDIT: I'm really really new to this so how do I install the plug in? I already have the dll file

If you paste an image you will see its postion in the statusbar.

Arrow keys move the pasted image by one pixel.

Ctrl + Arrow keys move by 10 pixels.

Close Paint.Net if it's running, then put the DLL file in the "Program Files\paint.net\Effects" folder. That's all you need to do to install it. Next time you run PDN, the plugin will be included in the list of Effects (or Adjustments, if it were an adjustment).

Once you've installed the DLL and restarted paint.net, you'll find the plugin listed in the Effects > Object menu.

I often have the exact same need and I agree with Eli that TR's PseudoSnap will do the job just fine.

However, MadJik's Panelling plugin was written to do exactly this and is, therefore, better suited IMO for the job.
