wallace074 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I was going through a tutorial when it instructed me to "Lock Transparent Pixels". The author of the tutorial is a Photoshop user, but I'm wondering if there is a similar action in Paint.net. Is there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hello, welcome to the Paint.NET forums! As for your question, could you specify which property of them you wish to lock? The colour? The position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 No, sorry. You can't even go as far as to lock a layer in Paint.NET just yet. All the same, though, could you provide a link to that tutorial, please, so we could look at the feature in context; I may have misinterpreted you. Although, there is very little you can 'lock' in Paint.NET, so chances are that I am right and you can't. Do take sabrown's response into consideration also. Does this help somewhat?

Myrddin Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Thanks. There is no way to do that in Paint.NET. There are alternatives to use though, such as alpha masking (plugin | tutorial), or very simply using new layers, perhaps in combination with the aforementioned alpha masking. That's how I would go about it because an alpha mask can give you a clean removal of unneeded aspects of your work, if you create the mask well enough first hand, of course.
