Thanks a lot for the tip. That solution works perfectly. Now, maybe I can create a plug-in to automate it...

I want to setup Paint.net to be the default editor for my screen capture program. In many cases, I need to capture something from the screen, and highlight a portion of the image, usually a particular area containing some text that I want someone to read. Is there an easy way in Paint.net to use the "rectangle select" tool, and have the background changed to a color (like yellow) while keeping the text unchanged?
