[Gimp-user] HOWTO: stroke a path with the current tool?

2009-09-12 Thread Ilya Zakharevich
I want to stroke the path with the current tool, with all the parameters as selected in the tool options. I do not think I can do it with the PATHs right-mouse-click menu, can I? (What I see are only choices of "Paint" tools. What I want is "Select tools", like color select and/or magic wand.)

[Gimp-user] Photo frames: GIMP vs PhotoShop

2009-09-13 Thread Ilya Zakharevich
