craftonix Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hello, I'm a new user of Paint.net, i'm looking for a light replacement of my old PaintShop Pro 9. One of the feature, i use every day in PSP is copy Pasting with background color as transparent. like this : In PSP i just set the background color, then copy / paste as transparent background. (CTRL-C / CTRL-SHIFT-E ) Perhaps there is a way to do this easily in Paint.net, but can't find it ... any Help ?Thanks and best Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cc4FuzzyHuggles Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Hi. Be sure to have each object on it's own layer. It is recommenced that you have the background on a layer, have all objects on their own layers, and have any objects you paste, be pasted onto their own layers. For removing simple colors or simple backgrounds, you may also be interested in these plugins :Grim Color Reaper Cut Color (note, for cut color it has a drop down list called "Type of Effect", from the list choose "3. Remove Color As Background".Here's a new plugin that's worth trying too, Simple Chroma Key Don't know how to install plugins?

david.atwell Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Craftonix, Paint.NET is exactly what you want. You just need to use layers. You don't even need Grim Color Reaper. The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It creates an image defined by the foreground colour. I installed paint.net just to test this, thinking I'd found a solution, but it pastes the entire object with the background. Windows 10 the latest iteration has deemed ctrl-alt-e to be a unique to itself key combination now, and I cannot use it in pspro9 any more, I have to continually him the toolbar and navigate, when it was as east as ctrl-c/ctrl-alt-e before. It is frustrating enough that this feature is missed in other applications, but to have to now learn an entire new application over such things is ridiculous. I've used pspro9 for many many years, I know every aspect of it, I use it by default for everything, learning a new thing just to do a simple task, is frustrating. So please, don't be so sure when you think you have an answer to something you don't really get the point of. afaics there is no paste as transparent selection in paint.net, and plugins or hunting down tutorials on how to achieve it, isn't an option.

I hear you, but this is not the place to complain about Windows 10 causing issues with PaintShop Pro. We can't do anything about it. 38 minutes ago, tronbley said: afaics there is no paste as transparent selection in paint.net Correct, unlike PaintShop Pro, paint.net doesn't have that feature. 38 minutes ago, tronbley said: So please, don't be so sure when you think you have an answer to something you don't really get the point of. I think everyone who replied understood just fine. They understood so well, that they were able to provide work-arounds for the missing feature. 1 (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.
