Hi,

According to section 3.1.1.4 of http://gimp-savvy.com/BOOK/index.html, control handles should appear when using the Bezier Path selection tool. However, this does not happen in my installation of Gimp 1.4.6 on Windows XP. I don't know if that's because the document is outdated, or if this functionality is not present on Windows.
Rather than control "handles", I just see the control points, which I can move, but do not seem to have the flexibility or control that I should with control handles.

Regards,

Michael

Carey's book suggests that the Bezier path selection is the most powerful and best of the selection tools. Is that still the case, or does gimp-2 have a better one?

Gimp 1.4.x does not exist.

Also the handling of the bezier paths has changed drastically between gimp 1.2.x (where Careys book is based on) and Gimp 2.x.y. There is more documentation on that on http://docs.gimp.org.
