Pixey Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Hello @Hyflex and Welcome to the forum You could make the selection box smaller by holding Shift and pushing on the corner nubs. Or, just use Edit - Cut - make a new layer - paste!

Pixey Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 No, PDN does not have that. You have to make the surrounding box smaller: How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.
