[Gimp-user] Selecting single row or column
Thanks for the quick replies folks! I'll try the suggestions, surely seem pretty straightforward . . . I'll have to track down some tutorials on scripting, looking forward to the day when Gimp has an action/script 'recorder' like PS While I'm 'talking', I'd like to express my appreciation to everybody involved in Gimp development (as well as users on these forums) Many thanks, baca -- baca (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Then I added a horizontal or vertical path and made a selection out of it - and that failed too :-( After discussing it on IRC there is a quite easy solution: 1. Drag a guide onto the image, 2. from the toolbox choose the Rectangle selection tool, 3. in its tool options set 'Fixed height'=1 px for a row respectively 'Fixed width'=1 px for a column, 4. stretch a rectangular selection along the guide from step 1. The reason why it failed in my first posting is that a guide has a width resp. height of 0 px and selections of 0 px width or height don't make much sense.

Activate quickmask (click the little rectangle in the lower left corner of the canvas or press Q) 2. Set foreground color to white 3. From the toolbox choose the Pencil tool. As Brush use '1. Pixel' and set brush size to 1 px. 4. Paint a vertical or horizontal line by clicking its start and end point while pressing Shift+Strg (on Mac: Shift+Cmd). 5. Deactivate quickmask (like in step 1).

[Gimp-user] Selecting single row or column
I've been using Gimp since 2.6 and had previously used PS CS2 That version had the option to select a single orw or column (from the 'Select' menu). I rarely had the need for this, but I'm now working on a project that could use that feature, and Gimp doesn't seem to have it . . . :>( Checked out the gimp plugin site and Googlesearched it, but to no avail. Can anybody point me to a solution? - I tried selecting it with the available selection tools, but I'm not having any success with a large image. If it matters, I'm running 2.8.4 on a Win7-64bit installation.
