frer8833 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) When i select a part of an image and flip it horizontally or vertically i will lose the selection. How can i get the selection back, it's not easy to have to use again Lasso select to exactly get it back? Also when i rotate the selection by using the more exact "Rotate/Zoom" it rotates inside the selection and part of the image disappears so for example a car becomes a half car.

Pixey Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 1 hour ago, frer8833 said: How can i get the selection back, 1. Magic wand set to Global (Flood Mode) click outside the image. 2. Ctrl + I (to invert) and the image will then be selected. 3. For the car example, make sure the image is inverted, then rotate.

You can also use Edit -> Copy Selection and Edit -> Paste Selection -> Replace It'll copy the selection to the clipboard in a text format. You can even stash it in an instance of Notepad if you need to keep it around. 1 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...
