My first idea is to copy and paste the selected region in a new layer, delete it in the original layer and then change in the second layer the value for transparency, befor flatten the image.

This is a contradiction in itself. Either you keep the aspect ratio so that there are NO distortions, OR you change the aspect ratio and distort the original.

Well, I wouldn't have thought that there is no search function in Windows 10. I haven't had much to do with Win10 so far, but I do not notice that it is missing. Or did not you just find the search?

Or simply type pdnrepair in the Windows Search field and start the found entry.

In images like the second one it should work pretty easily. The first one ist more tricky, but not really impossible. Maybe the best way is to manually paint the gaps between the bricks in a new, transparent layer with a color, then select this color by magic wand, switch back to the original background image and hit DEL. Of course that isn't done in a few seconds. For any good editing you have to spend time. Maybe some work with AA's Assistant or Tweak Transparency V2 is a good idea. Don't forget to save it as PNG.

Look at the pinned Threads in the TROUBLESHOOTING Forum - especially at the first entry.

You can edit each channel independently by the way I've described. Furthermore: Ed Harveys Extract Channel and maybe Color Channel Mixer

Yes. Adjustments -> Levels or Adjustments -> Curves. But you will have better results with a plugin like Conditional Hue/Saturation.

Make sure, that the tolerance for your coloring operation isn't to low. Choose values between 25 and 100%.

Yes. Both plugins work perfectly here. As long as you don't have finished the plugin operation by clicking [OK] in the plugin dialog window you can move the text using the plugin controls for that purpose and it's still editable.

You can't edit text after finishing the operation. It's no longer text. It's a bunch of pixels like all other pixels in this image. Paint.net isn't a wordprocessor. Put your text in a new layer so you can easily "edit" it by deleting the wrong pixels in this single layer without affecting other layers/background.

Backspace and Delete aren't the same. Backspace fills the selected area with primary color. If your primary color is Black so it turns BLACK of course. To make it transparent, only DELETE works.

No. I have absolutely NO idea, what you want to do. If you want have a selection in form of a curvy line just add a new layer, draw that line, select by magic wand tool, switch back to the underlying layer and do, whatever you want.

The install procedure is described on the download page/thread here in the forum. Either its an installer (executable) or just a DLL in a ZIP file. You have first to unzip it an then put it on the right place, usually in the EFFECTS folder of your Paint.NET installation. If it is an EXE you have to start it and follow the given instructions in the dialog window. For photo collage? Mosaic Maniac (Collage Paint)

You should buy better eyeglasses. This forum is dedicated to a computer software called Paint.net for image editing and creation.

That isn't sarcasm but irony, honey.

Well ... there isn't any brain-reading artificial intelligence in our computers, despite some companies claim it in their advertisement.

In Paint? No. In Paint.NET: yes, of course. Just create a (temporary) heart form and then add new layers for every word/text. After typing the text use Layers -> Rotate / Zoom to adjust size and orientation or you use the Plugin Rotate Text. Later you can delete the heart-form layer and flatten the image to a single layer.

No, MadJik didn't telling "impossible". After watching this discussion for a while now, it seems to me that you are hoping to get your project done automatically with a minimum of effort. Such a thing almost never works. You almost always have to manually correct. To return to your first example with EER's Avatar: For example, if the background and parts of clothing are almost the same color, it helps to insert a thin line of separation along the back with the line tool. Removing pixels at the edge of an object, works with the plugins I already mentioned very well. If necessary, the eraser can also be manually corrected at a sufficiently low hardness.

Try the free version of ActivePresenter.

Related Plugins: Poster Earths&Greys Cartoonize Majority Results are depending on image quality and size. Maybe additional Ink Sketch, Pencil Sketch and so on could be useful. The "clear answer" is: There isn't any single plugin that fits all at once for all cases.

If I'm right you want to avoid the (white) edges around your cropped objects. You can eliminate this by using either AA's Assistant or Tweak Transparency. A personal note: You should use more words to describe your problems. It's hard to understand you.

It? You mean Paint.NET? Of course. Make a selection and then crop it.

Probably you have inadvertently switched from Quality: Bilinear to Nearest Neighbor.

Well, without example screenshots it is hard to make better suggestions. I will receive my new big magic crystal ball (20cm) not before begin of july.
