madiik Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Is there some sort of a settings or plug-in that would allow me to make the selection box stay on the selected area instead of selecting the whole pasted image? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hi Madiik - welcome There isn't a setting for this. The entire pasted image is selected by default. That's so the pasted image can be manipulated/moved/re-sized immediately after the paste operation. Think about this: If you're pasting with a selection active, the pasted image must go into the selection and be clipped to the selection bounds. It can't extend outside of an active selection. Please tell us more about what you're trying to achieve. It sounds like you might have better luck pasting first, then making the selection. Would this work for you?

madiik Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) I see what you mean, but when I paste frames for a .gif it kind of gets irritating having to re-select the whole boundary of an image, because the CTRL+V (paste) re-selects all the boundaries. I do not use online .gif makers, but the .agif and .apng plugin, because I can rely that it has no any sort of threats against my PC. Hi Madiik - welcome There isn't a setting for this.

Would this work for you Ah, could there be some sort of a setting then to allow this? When I make the .gif I have to crop the images because I use the PRINT SCREEN button. Somewhat more reliable? But if not, any plugin/program to help me do so? Edited January 20, 2015 by madiik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I think this might work for you: Paste all your frames to separate layers then crop them all on one go by making a selection and pressing Ctrl + Shift + X.

madiik Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) I'll try. Hopefully this will speed up my time EDIT: Yeah, it worked. Thanks for decreasing the time to do my .gif's! Edited January 20, 2015 by madiik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
