Rollois Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Hi all, I searched on forum and help and did not find anything (perhaps I s**k at search..) I would like to know how I could create a rectangle select at a specific size, and then MOVE IT to the place I want. For now, I can create my rectangle and press the arrow key on my keyboard to have the desired size, but it is not really nice to do. Any nice way to do it? thank you!

Mr Frojo Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 What I do when I need to do that is create a new image, delete the white background, select the whole image, and paste it on a new layer on the first image. There might be an easier way, but this is all I know of. Quote I'm still alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 F1 used in Paint.NET would yield results like theses: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/en/MoveTools.html http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/en/StatusBar.html If you can't find anything in Search try the Help documents.

Rollois Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Ok, but where in those results it show how to create a (example:) 50*142 rectangle select? Perhaps you have saw this option in Photoshop. I would like to show a screenshot but don't have photoshop... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollois Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 I just thought of a way around it until/if Paint.NET have this funtion. Ok I understand and thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 The Move Selection tool (http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/en/MoveTools.html) can adjust the selection to your dimensions and the Status Bar (http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/en/StatusBar.html) tells you live what the current dimension are of the selection. So if you want a box of 50*142 then draw and while doing so look at the Status Bar and it will show the current status of the selection.

Rick Brewster Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 There is not yet a way to just type in "150" "42" to create a 150x42 px selection, but this has become such a highly requested feature lately that the priority to implement this is pretty high up there.
