In Gimp the selection is an ambiguous term that designates either: - the selection mask, which tells which pixels are selected - the selected pixels. So, transforming a selection is either selecting different pixels (1st case), or acting on selected pixels (2nd case). In Gimp you can do either. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Transforming selections
I'm looking for exactly this fucntion: transforming selections In any selection tool, in ‘marching -ants state’ (nothing hairy happening), either the pending selection or else (each, in a multi-selection future) committed selection shall have a transform icon—Image:Transform_icon.png, 32 pix diameter, 25% opacity—associated with it on-canvas. Clicking it shall invoke the transform mode: [snip] This is from the GIMP roadmap. And is planned only in version 3.8 it's the 13th on the TODO list. So this is the functionality why I'm searching for a image editor that is easy to use for non-artists, or at least not hard to learn. :) Or a plugin for GIMP that can do this. -- berniek (via gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] Transforming selections
Berniek Before I could be of much help, I'd need to know exactly what kind of transformations you want to do. For example, select a particular image (to which you might provide a link) and describe exactly what you'd like changed. ns ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
