After you make the selection, open the Layers Dialog, and click on "new layer" Change the "layer mode" from "normal" to "color" or "multiply", and fill your selection with the desired color. Second Method: Make your seleciton, and go to the menu "layers->colors->Hue& Saturation" ...make your changes. In both cases, you probably will want to go to "view->selection boundary" and turn it off, before trying the changes. > > > Thank you in advance. > > _______________________________________________ > Gimp-user mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
