Re: [Gimp-user] Layer selection using mouse click

2009-11-16 Thread Nathan Lane
I don't believe that you can. For one, generally speaking, GIMP is a
raster-based image program and thus does not have the notion of objects. If
you don't want to keep going back and forth between the Layers dialog and
your image, then another option is to right-click on the image, go to Layer
and pick an option. Most of those options also have shortcuts on the
keyboard, so you could also utilize those.

In preferences-Tool options, configure the move tool to set the
layer or path as active.

Sorry -- it is not my fault this is hidden - I'd  rather keep this at
the tool options dialog for the move tool.

Hi,
p.rosenb...@gmx.net (2009-11-15 at 2152.06 +0100):

Move tool has a pick layer or guide mode, it will select the topmost
layer that is non transparent for the pixel you click.

 Hi all.
 
 How do I create smooth diagonal lines ?
 
 I've been experimenting with creating various aesthetics for an online
 portfolio. Here is the result of one such experiment:

 I created the shape of the navigation container image with the pen tool. I
 turned the resulting path into a selection, and then applied various fills,
 gradients and layer effects.

Did you try to stroke the path? That gives much better results than
converting the path to a selection.
