brainfarth Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I would like to know how to select the same area in every image. I have a pile of images that have content in the same area that I would like to copy and paste into a new image. Is there a way of repeat the selection process in the same area for each image? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerx Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Assuming all images are the same dimensions, You can make your selection on one image, then hit Ctrl+C (copy). Then in new image, add empty layer and hit Ctrl+V (paste), then merge layers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brainfarth Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Okay.. lets say that I want to make a very tall image of all my past ebay purchases. The list will always be in the center of the screen snapshot and I only want the same section of the screen so I can copy and drag it to the bottom of my project. I put two screen shots on one image, along with the addition of the copy. But how can I repeat the selection action the same every time?

NinthDesertDude Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) The way I do it is to make a selection, create a new layer, and fill the selected area with a solid color. Use the Magic Wand tool on the filled area to get the selection. Switch layers and do whatever you want with the selected area. Paint.NET has no native way of handling this that I know of.

BoltBait Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Perfect! That, honestly, makes your video a thousand times better. If I can't get Morgan Freeman, I want you for all my narration needs.

MJW Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 To copy the selection boundaries, you can just copy the selection from the first image, paste as a new layer into the second image, then immediately delete the new layer. The selection will remain on the original layer of the second image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 It is way better than mine. Want to hear me? https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/472525/ - Voice of the dealer is me. Be warned: I'm 50+ years old and sound like a little girl. My voice actually sounds deeper in my head. I wish I had Morgan Freeman's voice.
