When do you want it to be completely darkened? Maybe we could make GIMP 
make it darker for you when you need it, without having to add a UI for 
you so you can tell GIMP when you want it completely darkened?

I doubt the additional complexity in the UI for a setting like this 
would be worth the rare case it handles. Or maybe a good non-intrusive 
on-canvas UI for it could be added.

[Gimp-developer] Paspertout for cutter - how dark can it become? (and size of selected area)

2010-08-16 Thread oliver
Hello,


the paspertout-area for cutting... IMHO it would be fine
to have adjustable brightness/darkness for those areas which
would be cutted away.

Sometimes the default is good.

But sometimes I would like to have the selected-for-cutting area
being completely darkened.

Would that be possible?

Ciao,
  Oliver


P.S.: Would it even be possible to automatically (or by command)
  scale the selected area to become as big as the window alloes
  (fit window size)?
  This would also be very helpful for cutting photographs to the right
  size, and see, how it looks in the end.
