Ah! That should be a workable solution. Thanks a lot for your explanation and patience!

Thanks for your reply. I tried the search, and did not get any results, except saying "it is on the roadmap" and someone explaining some awful hack solution using layers. (http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=6398) Is this still 'on the roadmap' or has it been completed? Sorry, would you mind elaborating? I don't see how I can set a fixed selection size in the status bar?

Hi, Is there a way to select a fixed rectangle size? ie: select an 800x600 section from a larger image? Thanks.

Ash:Would you mind describing that method and posting it as a tutorial, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Yata: Thanks for the plug in link but that wasn't really what I was looking for. What I'm trying to do is have a way to blend two layers together, according to where I draw. (Basically a mask to say whether I get infromation from layer A or layer B, depending on what I draw inside the mask - where the mask is effectivley another layer) Ash: That looks pretty good, how did you manage to do the 6th step with paint.net?

Hi, I was wondering does Paint.net have a layermask or equivalent? I'm trying to do this photoshop airbrush-a-person in Paint.net: http://www.tutorialdash.com/tutorial/ad ... h-A-Person At the moment I've been somewhat 'hacking it' by adding another layer that is all black, setting it to multiply and drawing white into it to get the bits out that I want, and then copying it, inverting it, and then using that to get the layers all together. It's way too hard that way.
