that being said, i have done this thing (that i think you are asking about) with a combination of selections and merging the union of a path with a selection and then making a new path of the resulting selection a few times for when i needed to do this. right click in the face of the path dialog and you can find the things i mentioned. carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
