Is there any way that I can paste it as per the original cut? probably not. The selection has bounds equal to its absolute width and height. This is what is copied accross It should copy the pixels outside the selection as transparent, though. IIRC this did work at some, could be that it is broken in current versions of GTK+...

When I select with Oval, Hand draw or Intelligent scissors, the cut from the Gimp looks perfect, but when I paste into OpenOffice Writer it is always a rectangular picture the width and height being the outer most points of the cut. It all makes it pretty useless for what I need it for. Would you know of a way of getting this right? You could try this, though it's a bit of a kludgey workaround :). 1. Make sure the layer you are working with has an alpha channel (Right click the layer in the layers dialog-Add alpha channel). 2. After making the selection (oval, scissors, or whatever), invert the selection. (Cntrl-I or Menu-Select-Invert) 3. Cut everything else out (Cntrl-X). Now these regions will all be transparent, leaving only what you want. 4. Invert the selection again (Cntrl-I) returning to your original selection. 5. Copy that (Cntrl-C) and try pasting it. Even if it pastes a rectangular bounding box, everything other than what you want will not show. Of course, save the original image elsewhere in case you do something inadvertently.

Re: [Gimp-user] Cutout and paste (Newbie question)
This would work only for formats, that support transparency - gif, png. Others would replace transparency with white, or with background colour.
