Apologies if this has already been discussed; I couldn't figure out the right search terms to find this...
I have a large image say 1000x1000 that I want to create a smaller version: 200x300. How I currently do this is create a new canvas at the target dimensions, copy+paste the original image into the new canvas and manually re-size the pasted selection to fit into the canvas.
This works, but if I want to tweak the resizing (shift within the canvas, or adjust the scaling, etc.) after I've disselected the original paste action, the image information stored outside the boundary of the canvas has been lost.
Previously I've used Photoshop for this and the layer that is created when you paste (Photoshop creates a new layer for each pasted item), can continue to be resized and adjusted even on subsequent selections. This is very helpful if you're scaling multiple items into the same new canvas, or if there are multiple elements involved like text objects that need to be aligned.
Is it possible to change my process or change some setting so Paint.NET acts more similar to Photoshop?
Thanks!
