Adam1997 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Is there any chance that there will ever be a lasso feature wherein one can click different points and select an object more manually. The square selection tool can select too much and the current lasso tool can be quite difficult to use or can select too little or too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Hello @Adam1997 and welcome to the forum I'm not aware of that being introduced to PDN, but have you tried this: And ..... another: 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.

Possibly, yes - but there's no ETA. See this post (Magnetic Lasso and Polygonal lasso / selection tool) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kfir Nissim Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Alrighty, that was what I was looking too. thanks for the update! Do you have a suggestion for how can one make a selection anti aliased without this feature? I wanted to use an anti aliased selection to censor parts of an image that contained my personal information using a blur effect. So what I did for now was to make a rough selection round the area, and then add 20+ Ellipse Selections over the edges at the right angle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are probably better ways to do what you want to do. For instance: Duplicate the image layer (so you have two layers with the original image). Blur the lower layer In the upper layer, use a large Eraser with low Hardness to erase the areas you want to blur. The blurred lower layer will show in the erased areas. The low Hardness gives a soft edge. If there are really large areas to erase, use a selection along with Erase Selection to erase that main area, then soften the edge with the Eraser. Merge the layers. EDIT: There's another current thread on that very subject with some more suggestions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleBox Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Ahh! I was searching for this for the last couple of weeks. What can we do to bump up the time line? I was also hoping for selecting by clicking on points, and it would connect the dots. Quote Polygonal lasso / selection tool - At some point, yes. Not sure when though (no ETA).
