Thanks Rick and Bolt for getting back to me so quickly. Rick, I'm very impressed with your develpment of paint.net but actually your product does not trim everything once it is outside the canvas. In my previous example, if I copy and paste into a new layer a 300x300 pixel image into a multi-layer file and choose no to expand the canvas size to fit the pasted image, the pasted image by default will be the top image. Paint.net recognizes that the pasted image is larger than the canvas and I can move that pasted image left right up down wherever I want and not loose the image information that is outside the canvas. However, if I were to move that layer to the second level it will then eliminate any picture information outside of the canvas. So paint.net can handle that task as top image but it fails to do so when moved to an interior layer or rather any layer that is not the top layer. It would be great if paint.net could extend the same functionality that already exists a layer deep. I don't know how hard that would be but it would be helpful for extablishing a set template (image size and border and then size another image between layers to update the template. As you can see in the examples below: http://quality.zenogroup.com/images/weightwatcher.jpg http://quality.zenogroup.com/images/movin_up_planes.jpg http://quality.zenogroup.com/images/faces3.jpg That it would be helpful to size a picture between the orange "frame layer" and what is underneath it. I hope you guys consider this part of your upcoming development. And one other question, have you guys thought about becoming a comercial entitiy?

I have a three layer image. Top layer is frame -- a square that looks like a painting frame 100 x 100 pixels. The inside of the frame is cut so that I can see below into the middle layer. The middle layer is where i want to put new pitrues The bottom layer is just white I want to take larger images and paste them into the middle layer. When I do so, without resizing the canvas the information that is greater than the 100 x100 pixel range is lost and when I resize it I only have the 100 x 100 pixel block. If I paste it on the top layer is resizes with all infromation but as soon as I move it to the second position it crops all info outside of the canvas range. How can I resize the image in the middle spot so I can see what my results are and then not loose the information outside of the canvas area??? Photoshop handles layers in this fashion...not sure if there is a way to do this in Paint.net
