Shayna Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I am new to Paint.net and can not seem to find the "trace" tool. Where I can cut a person from the image to remove the background etc. Is this available? I only see the magic wand and the lasso tool... TIA!

The_Lionhearted Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Ordinarily I would direct you to use http://www.searchpaint.net to find this answer, but search is temporarily bogus since we moved to this new site. :oops: There is a tutorial in the Tutorials section called "Cutting out images the easy way" or words to that effect...that gives a detailed way to do this. Paint.NET doesn't have a trace tool (yet? In fact, I'm not even sure what that is ) but this tutorial should be able to help you out. Can't seem to find it at the moment, but I'll look again and let you know. Welcome! Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkly Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 There is no 'trace tool' in paint.net. So you either do it this way viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4841 and then just put it on your new background. Or you use the eraser tool and erase everything you don't need in the picture and then just add your new background (import from file, then move that layer down under the other one). I hope this makes sense. You could use the lasso but it's easy to mess up that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lionhearted Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4841 or http://cmdsketchpad.com/tutorial.php?tutid=3 Should help you out. Let us know if you have any questions! Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
