Hold SHIFT while selecting the circle!
Then it's CTL + SHIFT + X to crop to the circle, then CTL + SHIFT + Z to rotate them accurately
Will be good to see your images

I use paint.net (version 4.0.2), and find it much easier to use a mouse than the keypad. Make sure you chose the 'Ellipse Select' tool.

I always crop my label scans to squares in Microsoft Office Picture Manager, before tidying them up in paint.net, ensuring that the four edges of the square are just about touching the edges of the labels.Once in paint.net, I then drag the Ellipse Select tool from the very top left of the square.

Let us know if you're still having difficulties.

I never use the magic wand, just 'ellipse select'.

I wish everyone's label images were that good - well done!

I would never use the Magic Wand for record scans btw

In terms of shape/size, they're fine. One or two are a little fuzzy, but it's a question of practice and practicality. Keep going!
