Change focus back to the image and hit enter I actually do this semi-routinely (but mostly with the similar dialogs for the Crop tool), in the process of composing images that are destined for web display at a pre-specified size: Using the fixed aspect ratio option lets you frame the subject decently, then cropping and resizing gives the specified dimensions. But the procedure always starts with some selection (or crop area) on the canvas, which I understood to be out of bounds to the original poster's requirement. :o) Steve ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Re: [Gimp-user] Doing a select without the mouse?
Von: Gary Aitken g...@dreamchaser.org Is it possible to do a rectangle select without the mouse? As a matter of fact, yes. Preconditions: - have the Script-Fu console open - know the id of the image you want to create a selection for - read the documentation of the gimp-rect-select procedure in the procedure browser Then, in the Script-Fu console: (gimp-rect-select image x y width height operation feather feather-radius) For example, assuming you've got an image with the id 1: (gimp-rect-select 1 23 23 42 42 2 1 5) HTH, Michael ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Is it possible to do a rectangle select without the mouse?
