Which tool is active? Gimp does not have a neutral tool, there is always one in use, although some such as the measure tool are harmless.
Assuming a straight copy - paste, either via menu or ctrl-c, ctrl-v, there is a Floating Selection, to remove the 'crawling ants' anchor that. Layer -> Anchor Layer, ctrl-h, or the layer dock. see: attachment. While it is still 'floating' it can be moved with the move tool. A better way is copy, then paste-as-a-new-layer, Edit -> Paste-as -> New Layer. Initially top left corner of the canvas, use the move tool any-time to move into position. see: attachment Make sure you click on a solid part of layer or enable move active layer. rich: www.gimp-forum.net Attachments: * http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/365/original/anchor.jpg * http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/366/original/layer.jpg -- rich2005 (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
