Use the transform tool and set its options to rotation, traditional. Click on the image to initiate a transfrom then type -2.5 into the Angle field of the Rotation Information dialog before clicking Rotate. > 2.

Running Gimp 1.2.3 on a Mandrake Linux box. Take a look at the Filters|Distorts menu, perhaps it contains what you are looking for. -- Steve Crane http://craniac.afraid.org ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

You can do this by masking (with a layer mask) the image with the inverse of itself. In other words make sure that the background has an alpha channel, copy the image, add a layer mask and paste the copied image into it. Finally invert the colours of the layer mask.

RE: [Gimp-user] Cropping to a selection
> how do I crop the image to the size of a rectangular > selection? Select the crop tool before making the selection. When you make a selection with the crop tool it also gives you sizing and moving handles that you can use to adjust the selection before doing the crop. To apply the crop either click inside the selection or click the button on the dialog that is displayed when you start making the crop selection.

[Gimp-user] Using Photoshop brushes
Does anyone know if there is a way to convert Photoshop brushes to GIMP brush format or if there is any other way to use them in the GIMP? Thanks. -- Steve Crane http://craniac.afraid.org ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
