Thanks for clearing that up - and thanks to those who privately replied. I guess I discovered the layer border at the same time I was playing with crop. And to add to the confusion, floating layers were trimming my image at the border, as if to be cropping. So I've spent a maddening few hours trying to use crop to manipulate what was really a layer border. For the record, the solution is to do a "layer to imagesize." As a suggestion to any developers who may be following this thread, it would be really nice if there were a mouse-over that tells the user that the yellow/black line is a layer border. I then guess that would annoy the users who already know what it is. Maybe a novice mode w/ mouse-overs? I know a photoshop user who is an open-source gnu fanatic, and really wants to switch to gimp, but insists that gimp is too difficult to use, and has some missing functionality. There's a good chance that the "missing functionality" is really a case of him not finding it. Anyway, thanks to all who helped. Besides this issue, I've been quite pleased with gimp. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
