Sqaure with a transparent inside.

[iiJoeey]

Im new to Paint.net, so I was messing around with it and I wanted to make something, so I got a square and I didn't know how to make the inside transparent, so I could only use the outlines and then I could put a pic inside the box or letters. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

I assume you're using the brand new paint.net 4?  Good man!

 

 

 

Select the Magic Wand tool.  

 

Click in the center of the square & press delete.  This removes the center pixels.  The gray and white checkerboard pattern denotes transparency.  This is normal.

 

Create a new layer :AddNewLayer: and move it below the one with the square on it.  Hint:  You'll need the layers Window and the :MoveLayerDown: icon.

 

Paste your new pic into the lower layer.  It should show through the square in the upper layer.

 

 

You'll find a wealth of information online if you press F1 in paint.net.

I would suggest you use the Rectangle Select tool to select the area of the square that you don't want, then hit delete on your keyboard.

Or, you could use the shapes tool, but make sure it is set to "Draw Shape Outline" :ShapeOutline:.
