CLIFF Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I am a new Paint.net user, I'd like to know how I can "fine- tune" the selected area. Thanx for any help, Cliff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) Hello Cliff & Welcome to the forum . What exactly do you want to do to the area in question? There are many Plugins that can 'alter' an area and if you let us know which effect you are looking for, we can direct you to the particular Plugin. i.e. There is a Plugin called AA's Assistant which can smooth edges ...... this can be found here.

BoltBait Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Try this tool: It allows you to change the shape of the selection after it has been made. 1 Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJW Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Hardly surprising, since Cliff seems to be following the standard practice of asking the question with as few words as possible. People who expect others to take the time to answer their questions ought to be willing to take the time to ask clear, detailed questions.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 We're here to help. Newbs get special attention because we all remember how hard it was when we were starting out. CLIFF asked a fair question IMHO.Oh, and don't forget that Mods and Admins have *special powers*. BoltBait showed some pretty cool insight to come up with that answer. +1 BoltBait.

MJW Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I'm sorry if I was overly harsh with Cliff (which I probably was), but I wish people would spend a little more time explaining what they want. I don't know whether or not BoltBait actually answered the original question, because I don't know which of the many possible meanings of "'fine- tune' the selected area" was intended. Stretching and rotating are just a few of the operations that might apply. It might also mean add or subtract from the selection; smooth the boundary of the selection; or even, as Pixey interpreted it, modify the selected pixels. All those are fair questions, with different answers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
