rfe777 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I was wondering if there is an option in Paint.net to crop pictures not in the usual rectangle shape but like using scissors, like someone that cuts a drawing he did on a sheet of paper with scissors, which means to crop in any shape that I want. Anybody knows? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody knows? TIA the closest thing would probably be to use lasso. Quote Pls wait. Signature will be coming VERY soon. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Like pArKeL said, use the lasso selection tool to select what you wish to crop to, then hit ctrl+shift+x (or go to image:crop to selection). The image will still be square, but everything not in your selection will be transparent. It is not possible to save a non-rectangular image.

Simon Brown Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I think pdnnoob means that even though an image can be partially transparent, the canvas must be rectangular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
