jason67 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Hi All I am new to Paint.net and am looking for a little help. I have a very simple picture in jpeg format. The picture is all in white on an orange background. I would like to use Paint.net to select the white picture and place it on no-colour background. Can this be done?

klaxxon Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) Use Magic Wand tool, Flood Mode: Global, Tolerance: as you need 1. Clic in to the white area 2. Ctrl+C (Copy) 3. Ctrl+Shift+V (Paste in to New Layer) 4. Uncheck Background visibility or delete Optional you can use Antilaliasing Assistant (AA's_Assistant... on Effect menu > Object) Edited June 12, 2013 by klaxxon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitenurse79 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 You also need to save the image as a .png in order to retain the transparency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitenurse79 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Hello, NN I would save a pdn copy and your png comment which is correct. Hello back If the OP only wants just the foreground image and no background (and with no other layer) then personally I would see no need to save it as a .pdn file. With a .png you can still use it to import from file (Layers> Import From File :ImportFromFile: ) to a new layer on it's own. I have only ever saved as .pdn IF I have more than one layer. The only other pointer I would add is make more than one copy of the .png file, that way you always have a replacement to fall back on if things go wrong.
