hi: thank your for your answer, Joao.
i have advanced a little. i have done this: i have created a new layer, so when i move the selection, my picture isn't affected. i have created the circumference, with shift + cirled selection button. i go to dialogs > paths > selection to path (button). then i can move the circumference, but when i finish moving it, the circumference disappears. before moving, i can stroke it. after moving, i can't. i am really newbie in gimp. surely i am doing something wrong. do you have any idea? thank you. when i said "versatile shapes" i meant say a manageable shape.
