Oh lord, lol. I am so grateful for your reply, and the image that you have attached is absolutely perfect - 100% what I am after. But I'm afraid I just don't understand most of what you have explained to me with regards to tangent handles, nodes etc. I am such an amateur! I will experiment with the path tool, but is there any way you could explain briefly how to start? The image I attached was originally a photograph of a paint footprint. I used the alpha channel to remove the background, then smoothed out the outline as best I could with the eraser and finally colourised the image. I appreciate this isn't the right way of doing things as the image doesn't look good! But I've taught myself how to use GIMP and it's still a struggle as I am a real novice! Thanks so much again for your reply :) -- NoWhizzKid (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
