eighteeneleven Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Okay... I'm going the way I'm going to describe this might sound stupid, but it's the only way I can think of making much sense. Say there is a green apple on a red background, and I want to cover up that apple with the same colour as the background. I click the cloning stamp on the red background, then move to the apple and click and hold to begin colouring over the apple. When I get so far into colouring over the apple, it starts to appear again, as the circle from where I first clicked on the background has moved. I saw a video of a Photoshop tutorial, which I where I took the idea from, but on that, the second circle - where I first clicked to get the sample I wanted to use to cover the image - doesn't move, therefore I can go ahead with what I need to do. I don't know how different Paint.net is from Photoshop on a scale, but from having played around with PS a little on a friend's computer, I much prefer Paint.net - I can do everything I have needed to do so far, ie. resizing, watermarking, modifying the way a picture looks, etc. Can anyone give me any advice, please?

Sarkut Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 eighteeneleven, To avoid this, using your example: Start coloring over the apple, and before the unwanted color starts to appear, let the mouse-button up momentarily. The distance between the anchor point and the stamp point is the maximum distance you can go without letting the mouse-button up in this particular example.

eighteeneleven Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Ooooh. So, is there no way I can select a colour on the same image, to colour over the part I don't want to be there anymore, just... easily, as in, I don't have to keep clicking, clicking, clicking?

Sarkut Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 If it's just a color you want to apply, use the ColorPicker tool, then the Paintbrush tool. Or, make a selection of the background and copy/paste it over what you want to cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
