Fast and simple: Open your image. Make the selection you want with the oval select tool. Do Select > Feather in your main menu. Then do Control+i (or, Select > Invert) to select everything /but/ your oval. Then drag and drop "white" from the color selector tool in your main toolbox into the image. Do Control+alt+a to remove your selection (or Select > None), and look at the result. Want more/less "blur" around the edge? Do control-z repeatedly until your oval selection reappears and disappears. Start over, and select more/less pixels in the Select > Feather menu. No layers, no complications. :o) Steve _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
