Dhox Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I am trying to edit an image to get rid of an overlay image but preserve the base image, but I keep erasing parts of the base image. Is that possible with paint.net or are there tutorials in the forum on how to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactilis Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 6 hours ago, Dhox said: get rid of an overlay image Please say exactly what you mean by this. Do you mean remove the white background and grey shading that @BoltBait has done for you, replacing it with transparent pixels? If so, then search the forum for remove background. You'll find several techniques. But if you mean something else, you'll need to ask more clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 @Dhox welcome to the forum You could do this: 1. select the color you want it to be. 2. Make a new layer and paint the area. Or, if you only want the image background gone, then there is this free site: https://www.remove.bg/ Good luck 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.

Solution Tactilis Posted March 1 Solution Share Posted March 1 The very wording of your question suggests that you are new to image editing...

You don't have a separate "overlay image" and a "base image". You just have an image. There is no drinks can "base image" under the pieces of chocolate. 3 hours ago, Dhox said: I just wanted to know if it's possible to do using paint. Of course it's possible with paint.net, but obviously not automatically and not without a fair amount of work. You have to erase the pixels that represent the pieces of chocolate, etc. which are occupying the space where drinks can pixels should be, and then create the missing pixels to match the shape, colour, texture of the can. You are going to need to learn some basic techniques first such as drawing, painting, copy/pasting, cloning... and learn to use layers. You should consult the excellent Documentation, which you can access by clicking the Help icon top right in paint.net. There are also many tutorials in this forum and various how-to videos on YouTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
