[Gimp-user] Gimp selection tool bug
GIMP 2.4.0-rc3 Debian 4 unstable Using selection tools in picture, i can not get "Subtrackt from the current sellection" to work just pressing Ctrl key. Though it is marked on toolbox, that pressing Ctrl should switch subtrackt mode and highlight marks correct entry. Pressing Ctrl turns on Move window mode instead - i can move window the picture is in. If i mark subtrackt mode by mouse - it works as it is intended to work.

Actually you can see the quality of picture before saving. Just tick "Show preview in image window" and you can change quality in real-time mode. And you can see the size changeind dynamically too. This is very good feature in Gimp. It is better to set the worst picture's quality and gradually increase it, while watching canges in preview window. It is clearly seen, when quality of picture stops getting better at some point. You're done then - click save. It depends on picture's nature. Sometimes you can save big pictures, while setting quality as low as 40. And one more trick - in Advanced options unmark create prieview image. It does nothing good while being on web, just taking precious place and bandwidth. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

They're used to move several layers at time - they keep same position. Usefull tool, when you wish to move several layers and do not want their composition to change. Otherwise you ougth to merge them what is not always what you want to do. You change active layer by selecting one in Layers tab.
