Westrock Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 When I select a small area, maybe 20x20 pixels and want to move it, how do it get the hand to switch to an arrow? In other words, the selection is so small that I can only stretch or rotate the selection because the "middle" area isn't big enough for the selection pointer to turn into the movement arrow.

TinSoldier Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Zoom in. For fine adjustments, you can also hold down the left mouse button and use the arrow keys to fine-adjust the placement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Man Dan Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 In Paint.NET, you don't have to have the mouse cursor inside of the selection to move it. You can left-click anywhere on the canvas to move the selection. By the same token, you can right-click anywhere on the canvas to begin rotating the selection.

davidtayhs Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Thanks for this very useful tip!!! I've been extremely frustrated over having to zoom in before being able to move or rotate but knowing this technique certainly takes the pain out of the process.
