First complete the scissors 'curve' by clicking on the first control point. That is still not a selection, you have the option to edit the curve in some way. When satisfied then Enter or click inside the curve to make a selection. Depending where you are on the canvas determines the icon 'action' symbol (including a not possible) Look at the bottom of the Gimp window - the information bar for what is possible. If the selection is the wrong area try inverting Selection -> Invert before deleting. Yellow and black outline is a layer boundary, Useful to know, part of Gimp not the image. Screenshots seem not to work so a quick video, all of 3 minutes, should explain enough for you to progress. https://youtu.be/EHe0UpGH_tU -- rich404 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
