corset Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 For the rect select tool, I have set to Fixed Ratio mode. However, when the selection area reach the edge of image, the selected area will loose the setting ratio and increase at non-edge side. Is there an option can make it done like in ps that if one side reach an edge, the area will not increase any more? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyReZ Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Greetings corset,I don't think that the aspect ration is changing (Your aspect ration is something like like 4:3 or 16:9 and such) . I think that before you release the mouse or stylus button; there is some hand slippage that adds pixels to the rectangle, but maintains the aspect ratio. If you need a constant dimension for your Rectangle Selection Tool perimeter; enter your desired height and width and set the tool to 'Fixed Size' and then move it to your desired location on the Canvas.https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/RectangleSelectionTool.html Edited January 7, 2019 by HyReZ add nfo / correct mistakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set the ratio to 1:1, it works fine before reach the edge. https://streamable.com/fmtbi Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
