Because the Layer menu gives you options that target a layer, not a
selection on the layer. When you make your selection float, you'e
essentially creating a new, temporary layer.

[Gimp-user] Layer versus selection

2011-02-28 Thread Jeremy Nell
If I make a selection (using, say, the Select Tool) and I want to flip 
it, for example, vertically, then wouldn't it be logical that I simply 
click on Layer > Transform etc and it does what I want with the current 
selection?  Currently, I have to make the selection float before being 
able to transform it.  Why is that?
