[Gimp-user] How to save a selection to file?
Hi, How can i save a selection (just the shape, not the content) to a file, so that i can use it in another image? Thank you, Lars ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] How to save a selection to file?
Hello David, Thanks for your prompt answer but I don't think you got me right. I don't want to save the selected area of the image but rather the path (the outline) that is given by the selection so that I can use this selection outline to select a same area on another image. > -Original Message- > From: David Gowers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: jeudi 13 septembre 2007 16:18 > To: Lars Ruoff > Cc: gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu > Subject: Re: [Gimp-user] How to save a selection to file? > > On 9/13/07, Lars Ruoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > How can i save a selection (just the shape, not the content) to a > > file, so that i can use it in another image? > First you need to save it to a channel (Select->Save); Then > you can 'Save a copy' to some format like PNG, while that > channel is active. > > > > > Thank you, > > Lars > > > > ___ > > Gimp-user mailing list > > Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU > > https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user > > ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Thanks to all, I managed to get it done with your different advice. Sorry for the noise, I'm a Gimp newbie for the moment.
