Re: How do I resize a selection?
Hi! > How do I resize a rectangular selection? Every other graphics app I Hmm, never thought about this before. I suggest you copying your selection to a new transparent layer and then use the transform tools (double click on the button to choose the right one - perspective...) on the whole layer. Only tested with Gimp 1.1.x, but 1.0.x should work, too. Hope it helps. CU, Michael ---=[ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ]=--- ---=[ http://technoid.xodox.com ]=---

Re: How do I resize a selection?
Well. If you are wanting to resize the selection (the border thing) and not the contents inside, you can use /Select/Shrink... and Grow... but that only makes a selection bigger or smaller, from all sides. AFAIK, there's not a way to simply "drag and resize" your selection, like you can with other progs.

Standard transformation tool in the toolbox may do the job (scaling down or rotation, etc. will produce some "white" are around the layer, may couse difficulty when getting rid of, if your selection is very complicated). Or, you can create a 100% filled temporary layer, and transform it then delete it. I believe there are many ways, probably better, but i use these methods. I hope this will help. -- dirt All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
