Not necessarily, but as Liam pointed out there are various ways to reduce the fiddle factor: in the rectangle select's tool options you can specify a fixed size (width and height) so that you only have to worry about its positioning. You can set guides at the precise locations you need them so the selection rectangle can snap to them, and if all else fails you can fine-tune the position manually in the tool options, too. -- Stratadrake strata_ran...@hotmail.com -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. ________________________________ From: gimp-user-list <gimp-user-list-boun...@gnome.org> on behalf of BWK <for...@gimpusers.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2018 8:13 AM To: gimp-user-list@gnome.org Cc: notificati...@gimpusers.com Subject: [Gimp-user] Layer groups seriously broken - huge resource hog I doubt you've ever tried doing a selection rectangle to that size and getting it exactly the right size and boundaries.
