[Gimp-user] Removing the crop frame
I've been motivated to join this list by a problem that's been driving me nuts. At some point I activated a yellow and black crop frame, and it seems there is no way to turn it off. I would at least expect SELECT::NONE to do it, but that only unmarks regions other than the crop region. I'm about to trash this image and start over just to get rid of the crop box. It cuts off everything that crosses the line. The reset button in the crop tool window does not work. If I set the origin of the crop tool to 0,0 and set the offsets to the image size, it's only temporary for that command, and the old crop region continues to cut things off. It seems there is a different cut-out box for each layer. Any ideas? ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] So it's a layer border - not a crop frame
* Sven Neumann [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-08-07 06:59]: Yellow and black crop frame? That's the border of the active layer, not at all related to crop. Thanks for clearing that up - and thanks to those who privately replied. I guess I discovered the layer border at the same time I was playing with crop. And to add to the confusion, floating layers were trimming my image at the border, as if to be cropping. So I've spent a maddening few hours trying to use crop to manipulate what was really a layer border. For the record, the solution is to do a layer to imagesize. As a suggestion to any developers who may be following this thread, it would be really nice if there were a mouse-over that tells the user that the yellow/black line is a layer border. I then guess that would annoy the users who already know what it is. Maybe a novice mode w/ mouse-overs? I know a photoshop user who is an open-source gnu fanatic, and really wants to switch to gimp, but insists that gimp is too difficult to use, and has some missing functionality. There's a good chance that the missing functionality is really a case of him not finding it. Anyway, thanks to all who helped. Besides this issue, I've been quite pleased with gimp. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

But it would be nice if the help files explained this detail better. Perhaps you want to add a comment about this to http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/GimpDocs or perhaps even contribute a section to the docs?

The status bar could probably be used more often to provide more information in general. For targets as small as the layer boundary neither tooltips nor status bar messages are a great solution though. - Alan ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
