GaryGoral Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I am really new and while increasing size of photo and cropping, sometimes my backgroung also gets cropped. The full picture in th background becomes the cropped size and i do not know how to resize to the original backgroung size. Any help would be appreciated.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hi Gary, welcome to the forum Cropping affects the entire canvas, i.e. ALL the layers. It sounds like you're trying to alter an image element which is on it's own layer. Applying CROP in this respect is changing the entire image. Instead, you want to select the element or layer part with one of the selection tools (like Rectangle Select) then use the Move Tool to stretch or squash the selection to the desired size. TIP: you'll need to activate the correct layer by highlighting the layer in the Layers Window. As your background is on a different layer, it will not be affected by this selective editing operation. To remove part of a layer, select the part and press the Delete key. 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
