Hi gimp-user, Thanks to everyone that responded to my questions.
I found, while going through a tutorial, that to draw a circle you can use the ellipse tool with the shift key held down. Same with the rectangle tool to get a square. I found an excellent site and just thought I'd pass it on http://epaperpress.com/psphoto. The book targets Photoshop, but the concepts are similar. They have very nice graphics that you can interactively change to see the effects. Cool! Gimpguru has been helpful, too. My latest problem. I have a very nice black and white photo of a couple. The only problem is the man's right arm and part of his chest are too light. I tried using the cloning and smudge tool, but it looked like he was wearing a dead raccoon. Not the look I was going for :-) I so much just want to draw a rectangle around the arm and say darken, but how do I do that in GIMP? I played around with layers, layer masks (which I know very little about), but have not been successful. Is there help for this poor fellow's arm? Thank you. -- __________________________ DJ _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
