Bebeto94 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Hi All, Can anybody tell me if there is a way, however so, to paste something into a selection without the pasted image/layer going outside the highlighted selection. What i would like to do is highlight a selected area on an image/layer and then paste another image and be able to move it, increase/decrease its size all within the highlighted selection of the first. I somehow found a way of doing it about 2 weeks ago but I'm damned if I can remember what I did. Any help appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Hello @Bebeto94 and Welcome Have a try with @BoltBait's 'Fill from Clipboard' which is found in his Plugin Pack Quote 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.

Xhin Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 What I would do is: 1. Get your selection. 2. Cut it. 3. Paste to a new layer. 4. Move that layer down 2 spaces 5. Add a new layer in between them. You can now do whatever you want to do on the in-between layer. If you know what you're doing is going to take up the entirety of the "selection" and you're just moving it around/resizing it, then you can skip steps 3 and 4 and just make a new layer underneath the layer you cut.
