Gimp-user Digest, Vol 40, Issue 4

Thanks Andrew,

I got that working for a rectangular copy and paste, but when I use the elipse select, the free select or the intelligent scissors, it cuts as per the created outline, but when I paste (into OpenOffice Writer) it pastes it as rectangular picture.

Is there any way that I can paste it as per the original cut?

TIA Gert

Hi,
I am (very) new to The Gimp and not a graphic designer. I
just want to use
some basic stuff and I am getting into it quite nicely.
However, for the life of me I can't find something that I
reckon is very
basic.
I want to cut out part of an image (rectangular, round or
oval, polygon,
etc) and copy and paste it to somewhere else. How do I do that?
For example:
First tool on toolbox (main gimp window) is rectangle select. Draw rectangular selection on picture. 'Edit' menu > Copy
Switch to target image
'Edit' menu > Paste Into

probably not. The selection has bounds equal to its absolute width and height. This is what is copied accross

It should copy the pixels outside the selection as transparent, though. IIRC this did work at some, could be that it is broken in current versions of GTK+...

you can save images to filenames with the extension *.xcf.gz or *.xcf.bz2. Doing so causes GIMP to compress the image files.
