fixbane Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'm trying to crop some off center images, and the best way for me to do this would be an offset. I've used ifranview and that has what I'm looking for, but I've gotten used to paint.NET and prefer its interface by far. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

pdnnoob Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Use the rectangle selection tool to select the area you wish to crop to, then go to Image>Crop to selection (hotkey: ctrl+shift+x) Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

midora Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 You may use Menu->Image->Canvas Size... There you can define the new size and set the anchor point to the part of the image which should survive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Short answer: You can't just tell it "trim 10px off of each side." You do need to do the math in the canvas size dialog, unfortunately.

fixbane Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 I know that you can trim a certain number of pixels off of each side and select from a 3x3 grid points to anchor, but my problem is i've got an image inside of black bars and the black bars are not equally spaced so at minimum i've got a 2 step process (based on what i currently know) and i want to turn it into a one step process what i do right now is take off the top number of pixels (126 or something), then i open up resize canvas again and set the size to the final size of the image, but change which side of the image is anchored I'm looking for a similar feature to what exists in ifranview and gimp (and probably other things) where, when changing the size of the canvas/cropping/whatever you want to call it, you can set something like x offset: 0 y offset: 126 width: 200 height: 1000 getting rid of the multi step process and turning it into one. Are there any plugins that do this, or a way in the base program? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 This is not something that can be altered by plugins. However, it is possible to make a plugin to assist in the process. Instead of resizing the canvas (which is out of bounds for plugins), it could fill the area with the primary color. That way, you could run the plugin, use magic wand to select the outside area, then press ctrl+i and ctrl+shift+x. Slightly faster than resizing the canvas twice.

fixbane Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Yeah, i've gone through a couple of methods on this issue, but what i've run into is that sometimes the black bars are touching part of the image that is the same color, which ruins things. Oh well, I'll just use ifranviewer for now. Thanks for the help guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
