    How do I maintain an image's high resolution after I cut it out using Magic Select?

    I start with an 800K photo, and I end up with a 93K cutout.

    Magic Select is great thank you, Microsoft, but not if I end up with low res images!

    Thanks in advance . . .

    :)

  2. Paint 3D Magic Select issue

    Hello,

    Thank you for your response.

    • This is my first time encountering this issue since I just started using Paint 3D the first time a few days ago for leisure. And, no, I don't think I have changed any of my computer's configuration. (What computer configuration exactly are you talking
      about anyway?) It could be (and probably is) that Paint 3D was just made to work like this. To further elaborate on my issue: My main purpose of using magic select is to create multiple layers. For example, if I have a clip art picture of a bush in front
      of tree, I want to be able to place, say, a dog partially hidden by the bush but still in front of the tree. To do this, I would have to cut the bush out of the picture using magic select, then make it 3D. I would then place the dog (also made 3D) and adjust
      the (so-called) "layering" so that the dog is behind the bush. My "problem" is that when I magic select the bush and "cut" it out, it becomes displaced from its original position and slightly shrunk, showing the empty space behind it. I would then have to
      spend quite a bit of time moving it back and resizing it to fit back perfectly. And so, I am simply wondering if there was a way to magic select/cut the bush out without shifting/resizing it.
    • Yes, the issue persists when I try on different photos.
    • Microsoft Windows Version 1709 (OS Build 16299. 192)

    Thank you for your time. I am perfectly happy if that was just the way magic select was made to be, but I would like to know if there is a way to keep the cut object exactly in the same place.

    3D Paint Magic Select

    In 3D Paint, I am trying to use Magic Select to move an item within a photo. For quite awhile I was able to do this and the background was "intelligently filled" as the item was moved. However now, when I move or delete the item, the space is left white.
    I don't know why "intelligent fill" suddenly stopped working. I've tried changing all sorts of settings and RESETing the application from the Start Menu, Settings, Applications, but nothing gets me back to the way Magic Select is supposed to work. Any ideas?

    How To Save Microsoft Paint 3D Magic Select Tool Images

    I'm trying to save images that have been created using Paint 3D Magic Select for use in other Microsoft programs, e.g. Publisher or PowerPoint. Print Screen and the snipping tool aren't options because I just want to save the object created by Magic Select,
    not a space on the screen. I can save the object to the Paint 3D clipboard, but Publisher and PowerPoint can't access the Paint 3D clipboard. Is there any way to save the object to a file (jpg)?
