You could just wait for the next release, which IIRC should be 2.4, and thus a 'stable' release; you might even consider using 2.3.19, since it is right at the end of the 2.4 development cycle and so almost as stable. This problem you describe has been fixed for quite a while, although not as long as I thought (since version 2.3.12) -- this problem isn't quite what I thought it was. Anyway, it has been fixed in a way such that subtraction/adding/intersection is always predictable, but if you want to cut out/copy out the selected area, you need to either use 'float' in the menus to do that, or (CTRL+ALT+drag to cut the area out, ALT+SHIFT+drag to copy the area out.) > > Your comment "See the Channels dialog -- that's exactly what it is for." for > a providing a selection stack capability sounds interesting. Do you have a > link or reference that elaborates on this? Hitting F1 in the channels dialog provides a pretty good description, including how to compose a selection from several channels. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
