The lack of a general select tool as in P'shop is really throwing me for a loop.
I seem to be missing the general concept of this that is very basic to
successful use of this program.
As they say, the problem is not learning Gimp, it is unlearning Photoshop.
When you want to "target" something it is to either:
1) Move it: the Move tool will auto-select the target. In practice it
could look like a general targeting just by replacing the "crossed
arrows" icon with a more classic pointer arrow.
2) Apply a tool to it. Some tools will auto-select the target, others
won't. But in many cases clicking on the picture won't help, because
Gimp cannot guess which layer in the stack you want to target, which is
why there are 'Layer>Stack>Select *' menu items or the
Layers/Channels/Paths lists...
(*) I'm using "target" instead of "selection" because the selection is
something else...
