Alibaba Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Newbie forum member with limited use of paint.net - solely for tweaking photos: For example: I have several layers of photos open, and when I use the "ellipse" tool to delineate a person's head, then invert and delete everything except the ellipse then choose "rectangle select" and "move selected pixels" tools with the intent moving it to the desired place in the background photo before "flattening" them into one final photo, I have the following problem: In this newest version 4.1.1 when i select the "move selected pixels" tool, the ellipse section (person's head) of the open layer remains frozen in place while the pixels move only the unopened or open background layer. This problem did not occur with the previous version... Furthermore in the older version I always deleted the white background layer first thing, but in this version I am unable to do so... Anyone have helpful suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Hi @Alibaba and Welcome to the forum I've made a video trying to emulate what you described. One thing that stands out is that you don't need to use the Rectangle Select, after you have used the Ellipse Select to move the circle and I had no trouble deleting the white Background.

Rick Brewster Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I've split this into its own thread because it was totally unrelated to the issue in the thread it was posted in Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
