I don't believe that is currently possible. If your layer is completely opaque, you could perform a "Layer->Transparency->Intersect with selection" after having making your selection (this will "trim" the selection to lie within the layer's borders). The following script may prove a slightly better solution, as it will also work with non-opaque layers. The command appears as "Within Layer" under the Select Menu. (Note: if there is no selection when the script is run, the entire layer will be selected.) http://www.flashingtwelve.brickfilms.com/GIMP/Scripts/sg-select-within-layer.scm _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
