If the Shift Key + "Move Selected Pixels" combo is used (to maintain aspect ratio during resize) after the "Move Selection" tool is used to change the aspect ratio of the selection - the aspect ratio from before the "Move Selection" is used, and not the current aspect ratio. Steps to recreate: 1. Use "Rectangle Select" to select a area 2. Use "Move Selection" to change the aspect ratio of the selection 3. use Shift + "Move Selected Pixels" - current aspect ratio will not be maintained Video: http://www.screentoaster.com/watch/stV0xUQ0xIR1xZRFRVU1lRUVRQ/paint_net_bug_move_selected_pixels_after_move_selection

Thanks Ash, I feel like "Color to Alpha" should work as well. But I just can't seem to get it to work. Thanks BoltBait, that code worked perfectly. (CodeLab Plugin required http://www.boltbait.com/pdn/codelab/ )

Is there a way "Extract" a drop shadow in Paint.net? For example: I have a Gradient that is from Black to White. It represents a Drop Shadow on top of a White Background, (All in one layer. no transparency. kinda like if the Drop Shadow was "flattened", or you took a "Print Screen" of it). (left half of attached image) How would you Convert that to a Gradient that is from Black to Transparent? Basically I want to replace White, and any level of "white" within the image, with that same level of Transparency. (right half of attached image) Color Crosswalk: Initial color -- post-extract color (RRR-GGG-BBB-AAA) -- (RRR-GGG-BBB-AAA) 000-000-000-255 -- 000-000-000-255 (black stays black) 093-093-093-255 -- 000-000-000-163 (black, but a little bit transparent) 212-212-212-255 -- 000-000-000-044 (black, a little more transparent) 255-255-255-255 -- 000-000-000-000 (white turns into black, fully transparent) Thank You, Aaron
