Shadow.NET Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Is there a function in Paint.NET like there is in MS Paint to paste or move and leave behind the secondary color? I find this very useful when I take a screenshot of a form and then set the secondary color to the form color and then I can move buttons and field around to create a new form. Great for mockups! Although Paint.NET has many other extremely useful features that I just couldn't do in MS paint like transparency, crop, magic wand, tolerance, I just need this one other feature. Alternatively if there was a tool that was like a combination of the selection tools and magic wand so you could select and area around item and then it would snap into place ignoring the background around it. Or even if the magic wand would work inside a selection box then I could just magic wand the background in the selection and invert it. Also is there a way to change the background color so when you delete or cut something it doesn't leave a transparent hole, it automatically fills it in with the color? Thank-you New User!

Shadow.NET Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 I get that, if I copy it into another layer and then use the wand and then merge the layers I can effectively do that. But I don't always have the time or want to use layers. Just checking if there was an easy tool or shortcut key that I was missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow.NET Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 keep in mind I'm starting with flat screen shots to begin with. So splitting it up into layers isn't always easy. Is there a paste to new layer shortcut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
