[Image cut out]

Dearest Forum:

 

I use paint.net as a tabletop RPG platform.  When I add images to my scenes, I often find myself LABORIOUSLY erasing away the background they came with.  I know there is an algorithmical way of doing this... what am I missing?

[Paint.net as virtual RPG tabletop]

I use paint.net as a free virtual tabletop for the D&D 5E game that I run.  The battlemap is the bottom layer, I have an obscuring fog layer I erase as the players proceed through the dungeons.  Each player and monster has a token with its own layer.  However, moving these tokens around the map, which I am screensharing via Skype, can be tedious.  Select the layer.  Select all.  Move the token.  Is there a way or a plug-in that would allow me to define the (sometimes dozens) of tokens as objects that I can grab and move without having to switch layers?

 

Thanks!
