In Gimp, when I pull the guides down in order to constrain a circle, how do I then get the guides to go back. Or to move them? The move tool moves the entire layer, not the guides.

Thank you all, Helen

I pull the line guides into the picture to constrain a circle, and then how do I put the line guides back where they were? To get them out of the picture.

If I try to move them with the move tool, it moves the entire layer and not the guides.

Thank you all, Helen

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.

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

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.
