my guess is that they planned to have these tools, and the book was written. then, for what ever reason, the tools were left out of the final version. The same tools are prolly found somewhere else, through menus or dialogs.
the 1.3 gimp has inspired many discussions on what is a "tool" and what isn't. it seems like artists and coders have different ideas on this. there are many new tool buttons in the 1.3 version, but rumor has it that some of those will be removed from the toolbox before it is over. i don't know that the book actually has you use these left out tools. carol On 2002-05-07 at 0722.40 +0000, Eve Kotyk typed this mail: > > > > > Haven't seen any followup - did you ever get an answer to your > > question? > > Good Morning, > > No I haven't heard from anyone regarding my question.
