Well, it's hard to remember, exactly. I recall having a few issues with the lasso tool. And by that, I don't mean that the tool did not work as it was supposed to, it was me as a user that probably constricted myself. I recall firstly being frustrated by the fact that if I had to enlarge my image big enough that it went beyond the edge of the window, that the window would not automatically scroll when I had to go beyond the edge, as it does in Paintshop Pro, which I was used to when I found GIMP. I didn't think you could grab a scroll bar, move the window, then continue your selection. I would zoom the image til it all fit, then select as best I could. Also, I must not have been grabbing the first selection point properly, because it wouldn't close. I found myself trying to make my selections so that I could double click to close it, and the straight line would complete my selection area as best it could. They seem so silly now, but were quite frustrating at the time. -- steven8 (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
