MrWInky Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Hi I found a video on the web which shows an older paint.net version using the Lasso the way I expected.. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=4&sqi=2&ved=0CCAQtwIwAw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D2CX7PJnNSyk&ei=na4vTcyOAZDEgAfy_sVa&usg=AFQjCNFpTTFYKsaiF4UmLBedLGXEfrknMA that is they show the lasso tool manually drawing a line around an object and then connecting it at the ends (Just like MS Paint). But in the latest version of paint.net, its automatically a free form polygon - I can't connect it because its already connected to itself. Basically, its like the square or elliptical selection but a bit more freeform. All I want to do is manually draw a selection. Do I need a plugin or something? Thanks in advance.

Sarkut Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 A close examination of the maximized video shows that the Lasso Select is acting exactly the same as the current version does. (Except for the "marching ant" selection border.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 It works exactly as it always had. The only difference is that the "connecting line" is always rendered. The functionality is identical.
