Yes, kind of. Since you are a newbie, the best thing you can do is do this tut. viewtopic.php?f=37&t=27322

RoushNitemare,

Open your image in Paint.NET.

In the top menu - Layers > Add New Layer...

Use the Line / Curve tool in several segments

on the new (transparent) layer to outline under the truck body.

<!-- m -->http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/en/LineCurve.html<!-- m -->

Be sure that the line is unbroken and extends to

the edge of the canvas.

Use the Magic Wand above the red line.

In the Layers window, click on the Background

layer.

Then on your keyboard:

Ctrl C

Ctrl+Shift V

This copies the selected area from the background

and pastes into a new layer.

The pasted image can be moved down using the

Move Selected Pixels tool.

In the Layers window, remove the checkmark from

the red line layer.
