pstein Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Assume I loaded a picture into Paint.NET. Now I selected a part of it with rectangle selection tool. How can I move this rectangle INCLUDING the content (!) inside the current picture? This should somehow possible without explicte cut/copy and paste- Paint-Shop Pro for example offers such a feature by default. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Move Selected Pixels tool. It's right there in the Tools window, right next to the selection tools, honest.

rwh1230 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I was having the same problem and found this thread. I had no problem with big objects but could not move smaller ones no matter what tool I picked. To move the selected area you have to grap it in the middle to get the black arrow, otherwise you get the hand which stretches or rotates it instead. Increasing the magnification made it easier to grab the small ones in the middle. Quote http://www.suehorowitz.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
