igya Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 When I transfer a section of pixels (to touch-up a photo), there is a checker board background left where the section was moved from. Is it possible to move a section and leave the original pixels in place? Such as; replacing a missing rail on a fence by moving a good section to that place while leaving the original rail alone.

igya Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Ctrl-CCtrl-V Oh man, that Ctrl-V does the trick! Just one other thing. When a section is copied, is there a way to rotate the section gradually, or is 90 & 180 degrees the only options? The "fence rail" may be on a different angle that the piece that I'm using to replace it with. Thanks for the Ctrl-V tip!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igya Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hold the right mouse button down and drag. Another easy to follow tip. Thanks again. Please indulge in me asking for one more. I am getting the "Magic Wand" dotted lines every time I use the Crtl-V key. How can I disable the Magic Wand? It started that after I experimented with it. I've tried every way that I can think of, including closing the program without saving the image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've almost burned out my eyeballs reading the HELP guide, but I guess I'll just have to play with it for a lifetime or so. Thanks again.
