There are a couple of things you can do. First, save the file in progress with some name like Recovery.xcf, so things can't get worse than they are now. Then fix it the simple way: Do Edit > Undo, or Control+z, and check your results. Keep doing this until the image content you deleted reappears. Then, odds are that doing Select > Invert, followed by Delete, will give you the results you wanted. A slightly less simple way: Add the original image file you started with to the image in progress as a new layer. Select the layer that the content you wanted to cut out vanished from, and in the Layers dialog do Alpha To Selection. In the main menu do Selection > Invert. Then select the layer that is your original picture, and do Control+x (or Edit > Delete) and you should get the result you originally intended. :o) Steve -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUGyLUAAoJEDZ0Gg87KR0L0QMQAJ9G8LyenZFBmdTzvIDLSvsu HM7XN3aq7gBx+C7BvF8Kz6oj/mxHkR5W4uHgDwa7C3o2Q7m5LbWTl+7Zl3zSxFMm bmSj25sl+iDcs9NARpPcD5mNpv4DikOew0yIbwIcxC5tykk5N7+KP1ZOMeqHrEKX MW/0OXpJWC6b92JoBnMXUuv1t4YLHkpqoAndwRqlhgt2FY1GPLkl8bx4a10+WscI Lc18bLB3xl47lDxI8MlKusimApvradqqncli2DxlSqKX4R0u6C8ktZKSUoTK2STW kYIYKkuVj9TCVa26O8S/3B3ffEWcUznfxKX2PdYMUCbIKBCfIuyC2DWRvqpnF/hd oCxjsW/wwmJoFiWWudhD4zLNoBAKyK2c53O8l4CcOKMVOvgWvQc86nAy6e9GJpy5 IgzwGVVtQXNykOD/qMNLb2zGE8Xu18vkGD86/pbwgbURKHnwjl6QVWbUM0yheMT4 I9dbTpJ2PcI5g+R49n47OEaKoQLfEakya5QxwoBh3/ZzvatoUtp79JxiPhVaVLP9 BtRMgwwzglvDOcRE9lBEKM0MiguhX24ntY5x0UXuF+klFuJaSVDaiyGgqv4ucJoL 6lUuAg0QFn9cTzAWfLjEXmJv/cTv/iUeTp0f16RplohMT1ze52chUWUncoz/PV6R xyTNpX+mV1tkJhxAxlkk =YK4N -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
