I am a newcomer to paint. So far, I am very impressed with it's abilities. It's very intuitive to someone who's used to other similar products (I am a long time user of Microsoft Picture-It). I have been playing with the layers and found a few ways of doing certain things...but no one way is easy to create "cut outs." In other software there is typically options to create cut outs using an edge finding tool and/or color selection. I used the magic wand and it was similar but I could not get it accurate enough. Is there a way to manually select an edge before doing a copy and paste into new layer? I may be missing it but I did not see any edge finder or even free-hand edge selection tools.
