Win 7 64 bit Hi, how can I use the bucket-fill option to fill an area surrounded by a dotted line? The dotted line is a path; so if I use a line for the dots, the bucket-fill works. But how can I step back after filling to change the path's line into dots again? I appreciate

You could make your path a selection and then fill that selection. There's a button at the bottom of the Paths tab that looks like a dotted-line square--that's Path to Selection. Click that, then fill. Should be fine. Good luck! On Mon, Jul 29, 2013 at 4:56 AM, Uniklaps uni.kl...@t-online.de

This is a tangent related to the matter that the first time you do an export command from a GIMP session there is no practical difference between Ctrl+E (Export) and Shift+Ctrl+E (Export To). Now, of course, the first time you do a Save command there is no difference between Ctrl+S (Save) and

So, to give an analogy, if you are working on a surface with no alpha channel, you can simply swap to the background color to erase something you've drawn (which is also precisely what the Eraser tool does if there's no alpha channel!), right? Okay, I think I understand. You know how the
