There's an easy way to get rid of the focus halo. After you select the free select tool, simply enable the "feather edges" in the toolbox. You can then set the value; that is, the higher the number is, the smoother the transition will be. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835491106261293518.post-4238351894055108112012-11-18T09:56:58.714-06:002012-11-18T09:56:58.714-06:00Carolyn-

I think GIMP has updated their menus since this was created so it was a little hard to follow. For example the ``copy visible `` is in the edit tab not the file tab. It seemed to stop working for me during the layering bit. Any chance you can update the steps.<br />Thank you!<br />AngelaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07809804502272384433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835491106261293518.post-19617194782124574322012-09-12T09:45:29.223-05:002012-09-12T09:45:29.223-05:00Anon,
