Go to second Image, make new tranparent layer 5. Import Path 6. Path to Selection 7. Go to image one and cut out selection 8. Go to image 2, paste into transparent layer That places it in exactly the same spot as in image one Owen ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I was trying to do something similar to this last week, I eventually gave up because my results were just as you describe, but reading your mail today made it all seem clear and simple to me. Use one of your selection tools to select the desired portion of your image go to the menu, Script-Fu -> Selection -> To Brush follow the directions in the dialog (give the brush a name and a file name) and spacing info if needed. Press ok and wait while your brushes are updated. Then you can use your selection as a brush wherever you desire. It won't put your selection in exactly the same place but should allow you to place the brush wherever you desire, and you won't be working with a gigantic buffer slowing things down. All of this assumes you have set up gimp so that it can save brushes somewhere that you have write permissions - like your home directory.

It shouldn't take that long to create a copy. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
