The "Selection" tool - where is that? I see a Lasso Select, Rectangle Select, Freeform Select, and an Ellipse Select, but not just a "Selection". Sorry to pester you, but all I want to do is drag up a simple ellipses a few pixels. Creating an overlay seems like overkill.

Neither worked, perhaps I explained it wrong. I have a perfect example in front of me - I have a screen snapshow .gif and I wanted to use paint.net to draw an ellipses to highlight some areas. I drew it but it didnt come out quite where I wanted it. I dont know how to drag it, hitting Enter and trying to use the Move tool have no effect. So, not knowing how to move the ellipses, I undo-ed it and re-created it. Not optimal.

This is no doubt a newbie question, but my lack of determing the answer has stopped me from using what is obviously an excellent product: Once I use a tool to perform something, say to draw a colored line in an image, I dont know what to click on from stopping the drawing tool from having control. I can click on another tool, but what if I just want to drag the image to another part of the screen? In a previous paint tool I used, PhotoImpact I believe, there was an icon in the Tools that basically stopped whatever tool I had last selected from being in affect. I hope this makes sense, as it making me crazy. Thanks!
