hello. i would like to ask for a program feature to be added or for a plug in for some selection tools.
1 - i could really use an "expand selection" and "contract selection". with a way to select how many pixels to expand or contract by. for me anyways, this would mainly be used with the magic wand, but would also be useful for any other selection formats.
2 - i need a way to rotate a selection itself. rotating in either direction would be nice to. as it is i have to rotate and pan a whole layer to do what i need now.
3 - im not sure what to call this one lol, "shrink selection area" maybe, but i need a way to select a single item thats sitting in a layer with other items and a lot of empty space.
example: say you have a cutout of a dog and a cutout of a cat on an otherwise empty layer, and you want to select only the dog, and not the cat or any of the transparent area around them.
i used to use paint shop pro years ago, and in that program you could use the rectangle selection tool to broadly select things like this, then click on the used pixels inside the selection area, and the selection would shrink down around that item only.
4 - it would be very nice if there was a "promote selection to new layer" feature. it would save a lot of time, as now you have to cut the selection, make a new layer, and paste it into the new layer.
thank you very much
