Re: [Gimp-user] line guides

thanks all, for the help here -- it seems that the setting on the move tool
was set  to "move layer"  and I only needed to change that setting.

It's working now -- thanks again -- something so simple but I just didn't
know to do it.

hi helen,

you can do this with the move-tool but you need to change the settings to
the option move layer or guideline and not move active layer -(it's my
free-out-of-mind translation - I got neither native english gimp nor is it
open now) -  or just use ctrl to change between these two options.
than you can drag and drop the guides out of the picture to delete them.

hope this helps,
tina

Make sure you click right on the guides when you try to drag them.  The
guide should change color (to a reddish tint) when your mouse is over
them and you can click to drag it.

To work with guides in a number of ways, try the menu Image->Guides.
This has a number of different things you can do with them, like remove
them all.

If you drag a guide back into the rulers the guide is removed from the
image window.
