Stefán Örvar Sigmundsson 0 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 How do I move a selection a certain number of pixels in a given direction? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Brewster 1,679 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 If it's a relatively small distance, just use the Move Selected Pixels tool (selection w/ its contents) or the Move Selection tool (just the selection) and then press the arrow keys to nudge it around. Hold Ctrl to move by 10 pixels at a time. Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to post Share on other sites
Damjan 1 Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 It's not a big deal but sometimes I need to be precise with my drawings, e.g. move selection exactly 256 pixels to the bottom or rotate exactly 36 degrees clockwise. Guidelines aren't supported yet so what I do now is look at the current coordinates, use a calculator to calculate the new ones, move with the move tool and nudge with the arrow keys when I'm close. An option in the edit menu would be nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
welshblue 3,715 Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 For Horizontal and Vertical movement you could use this plugin - if you've more than one layer you want to move Ctrl + F will repeat the process May not be so feasible on very large canvases with a -/+500 restriction https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/2617-paneling-effect-plugin-ymd100718/ Guidelines - may or not be of use to you https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/112076-guidelines-plugin/ Quote ...
