Great news ! Thank you.

I understand. Then I return to my first suggestion: the ability to save and load selections (to a file as a specific format, not as a picture file). Maybe it could be achieved easily by serializing the geometry instance. I mean using the BinaryFormatter (personally I wrote a more versatile serializer for my needs). Or maybe to a standard Xaml file (I noted Inkscape can export to this format), but I suspect it would require more work.

@Rick Brewster Maybe a (leveled) transparent selection would be nice enough. Let's imagine a 5x1 B&W picture that is a line of these pixels: 100 120 140 160 180 200 220 We apply the Magic Wand with a tolerence of 60 on the middle pixel (brighness 160). Then we obtain a selection "bitmap" with this transparency: 0 33 66 100 66 33 0 This way, the edges are smoothed in some way, although the selection is pixel-aligned. @Djisves Thank you for your suggestion, I will try it.

@Rick Brewster: It would be nice the Magic Wand has smoothed edges, even for the general use. By the way, we can stock selections in layers as well. @AndrewDavid: For information, the workaround I follow is this one: Save selection procedure: . Create a new layer. . draw the needed selection. . fill the selection as black, using the Can of Paint. . Select all (Control+A). . Copy (Control+C). . Paste as a new image (Control+Alt+V). -> please note the edges are smoothed. . Save the new image, as any format (transparency is useless). Re-recreate the selection: . open the original image. . import a file as a layer, using the selection image. . uncheck the base layer (the pixels of the original image). . be sure to select the selection layer. . Use the Magic Wand, in global mode, to select the black pixels (they follow the original selection edges). -> please note the new selection's edge is "pixelized" (not smoothed). . check the base layer (the pixels of the original image). . uncheck the selection layer. -> now we have an ordinary selection on our image. . the selection layer can be deleted if not needed any more.

Hello There is one feature I miss in this nice program: the ability to save and load selection paths. I mean I want to be able to save the "outline" of the selection, not the pixels themselves. That is very useful when working on similar pictures. I know there are some workarounds, but: They are not very simple. The reconstituted selection has no smoothed edges. That make it almost useless. Found workarounds: https://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/18043-save-selection-how/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA86AeyzeIk By the way, in these workarounds, it seems the pixels are not smoothed because of an incapacity of the magic wand. I believe this feature should be integrated in the application, not in a plugin, as it is a very basic feature. Thank you
