Selection
is used when you make a partial copy or filling a part of the picture
with a color.
In Pixia the selection consists of lines between tiny square handles.
You can draw a line along the edge of the selection, as if it were a ruler.
If the
selected area is closed, you can fill it with a color, and also if [Mask
outside Selection] is chosen at [Paint Setting]
only the inside area of the selection can be edited, which works just
like Mask Plane.
The selection is not changed or canceled until you manually cancel it
by clicking [Deselect], even if you move the layer. You can also just
drag the selection to change its position without affecting the picture
at all.

Box
|
Drag
and make a rectangular area of your choice. You can change the size
of the selected area by dragging the tiny squares on the lines and
at the corners. You can move the area by dragging the inside area.
If you first drag with the [SHIFT] key down to make the selection,
you can make a complete square.

|
Line
|
Drag
and make a straight line. You can move the line by dragging the line.
This selection is for drawing a straight line. You cannot fill in
the area. (There is no area to fill, to begin with...)
|
|
Circle
|
Drag
and make a circle area. Drag the tiny squares at the corners of the
lectangle that fits outside the circle, and you can change the size
of the circle. Dragging with [SHIFT] key down makes a complete circle.
|
|
Polygon
|
Click,
click, click, and you can make a polygonally selected area. Right
clicking completes the selection. Drag the tiny squares at the corners
and you can change the shape and size, and drag the inside of the
selected area, and you can move the area.

|
Connect
Line
|
Keep
on clicking to make continuous straight lines. Right click means the
end of it but it does not make a closed area. Consequently, you cannot
fill the area with color.
|
|
Spline
curve
|
Keep
on clicking to make a continuous line but this time a curved line.
You can make a smooth curve that goes along the clicked points. Just
like Continuous Straight Lines, you cannot fill the area with color,
since the area is not closed.
|
|
Wire
|
Drag
and the line will stick to a line edge of the picture. Release the
mouse button and the line will end. This makes a closed area. You
can change the shape by dragging the tiny squares, and you can move
the area by dragging the inside of the area.

|
SeedFill
|
Click
and it will make a selection of the same or similar color in the
neighborhood. Here I clicked the center of the face and the skin
color is selected. You can change the setting of this function by
the O-panel. Increase the figure of "RANGE" and the color detection
becomes loose, which means that less similar color starts to get
selected, too. "BORDER" determines which layer to use for color
detection. Clicking with [SHIFT] key down can select plural distant
areas.
