Bapu Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 In my paint.net (newest version as of today) the magic wand tool cuts the background correctly but after, instead of being able to move the thing i cut the background out of i can just move this black stuff that was never in the image??? see imgur link https://imgur.com/a/K5aLHJm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Do you have a screenshot of how it looks before you use the magic wand? I see 'during' and 'after' but no 'before' 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...

Djisves Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 @Bapu, after you selecting with the Magic Wand, do not try to delete the background by hitting the backspace key on your keyboard; that just fills your selection with the primary colour, in your case black. Follow this workflow: - Select the background using the Magic Wand like you have already done. - Delete the selection by pressing the Delete key on your keyboard. - Use the Rectangle Select tool to select the object you want to move. * Optional but recommended: Cut the object and paste it into a new layer (Ctrl+X, Ctrl+Shift+V). - Use the Move tool to move the object to where you want it.
