Thanks for the quick reply. I want to get to the 'normal' selection mode (for example - I start a new drawing, draw a line and now I want to select the line). In visual studio and such environment you select a tool and when you want to get out of that tool you click a 'Cursor' icon (on clicking of that you exit the 'tool mode' and can select the object drawn previously). (in Paint.Net, I see options like 'Rectangle Select', 'Move Selected Pixel', etc. but I am not able to select the line I just drwan). Thank you for patience.
