Simply toggling "show selection mask" off isn't quite enough in GIMP as the selection is still present and will affect subsequent tool operations -- look for the "Select None" command in the Edit menu and memorize its keyboard shortcut. This is because in GIMP, the selection mask (or simply 'selection') is an actual part of the image (independent of layers) and therefore remains in place until you explicitly tell GIMP to unselect. This is different from other applications (such as a word processor) where the selection isn't a 'thing' in and of itself and thus disappears automatically when you're no longer using it. -- Stratadrake [email protected] -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. _______________________________________________ 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
