I have used PAINT for years…I can’t find the wonderful tool  “Select”  -  ie: After I  import a picture…3 balloons, and just want the “red balloon” -usually I use the SELECT tool, draw a square around it, “cut” it out (placed on the clipboard)  delete the remainer of picture, and “paste” the red balloon on back on the page.
I have check YouTube etc.  a couple hints didn’t quite work out like I thought.
I KNOW it is there, but where?    thanks a bunch
PAINT is an application to work on raster images, and Draw works on vector images. Therefore the tools are very different. If you need only a part of an image, you can crop it.  Right-click the image and you will find the tool in the context menu. Drag the handles to hide parts of the image.
THANK YOU…worked ever so well.
