Re: [Gimp-user] layer manipulation question, scripting, etc.

Cool! 2) to move the different colored text to a different layer and keep it in the same spot, i would do the following: 1. use the select contiguous regions tool, select the red letters 2. hit ctrl-c to copy, then ctrl-k to clear whats in the selection 3. create a new layer 4. right click on the image and choose EditPaste Into That seems like the best approach so far.

David Burren [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Surely something like this would work? - Duplicate the layer - Select the appropriate area - With one layer active, clear the selected area - Switch to the other layer, invert the selection, and again clear OK, I'll try that. It sounds like it will do what I need, which is satisfactory for now. However, I'd ultimately like to come up with an easier way for the user to do that, since it will need to be done hundreds of times in a single scanned document. Can anyone offer a hint as to how to write a macro that I can attach to a menu item or hot key? I've already RTFM, but I'm somewhat stumped. Thanks very much!
