Beginner: "free distort" of a "rectangle select"

[Dirk67]

Hi,

I am a beginner to paint.net and to picture processing in general...

I just wonder if there is any standard/built in method/effect to "free distort" a picture or a "rectangle select"

in the well known pixlr editor ( http://pixlr.com/editor/ ) this effect it is called "free distort"(edit -> "free distort")

you can just touch any corner of a a picture or a "rectangle select" or mask

and tear it to any direction you like (-> while distorting the picture of course)

since I am an abs. beginner -> maybe I am too blind to see this possibility in paint.net (?) ;-)

if I create a a "rectangle select" I can expand an shrink in any direction and I can rotate and zoom , but can I distort as well ?

thanks for your patience

I think the closest you can get to that in Paint.Net is the Quadrilateral Reshape plugin, part of Evan's Effects collection.
