This is because in GIMP, the selection mask (or simply 'selection') is an actual part of the image (independent of layers) and therefore remains in place until you explicitly tell GIMP to unselect. This is different from other applications (such as a word processor) where the selection isn't a 'thing' in and of itself and thus disappears automatically when you're no longer using it. -- Stratadrake strata_ran...@hotmail.com Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Never mind — I unchecked Show Selection in the View menu and it went away. —Rick > On Jul 1, 2016, at 6:58 AM, Rick Snedeker wrote: > > There are 2 layers, a background and a 2nd. > I selected a portion of the 2nd layer and added a layer mask > Selection > > Invert. > I then applied the layer mask which showed the intended image in the > background layer below, but after a moment it refreshed and became obscured > by the diagonal lines of my selection. > My next step was to merge the 2nd layer into the background layer, which > momentarily looked correct but again became obscured by the diagonal > selection lines. > > Do I need to flatten the image to make the selection lines go away? > > —Rick > > ___ > gimp-user-list mailing list > List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org > List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list > List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Selection Lines Still Visible After Merge
There are 2 layers, a background and a 2nd. I selected a portion of the 2nd layer and added a layer mask > Selection > Invert. I then applied the layer mask which showed the intended image in the background layer below, but after a moment it refreshed and became obscured by the diagonal lines of my selection. My next step was to merge the 2nd layer into the background layer, which momentarily looked correct but again became obscured by the diagonal selection lines. Do I need to flatten the image to make the selection lines go away? —Rick ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
