2.6. Selection and its Usage
If you define a selection, then only the pixels of the selection are affected by tools or filters.
GIMP Selections can be any subset of pixels.
The toolbox contains numerous selection tools that can be used to shape the selection.
Pressing Ctrl, Alt and Shift
before pressing the button
and
while releasing it
modifies the behaviour of the selection.
Just experience to see how everything works!
Demo
Open a new image
Select the "Select Rectangular areas" tool
Play with it (try pressing the Ctrl, Alt and Shift keys when selecting, too).
Try other tools and see how they affect the selection.
