I suggested Quick Mask to Victor because he mentioned he wanted to "see" the layer mask and image at the same time because, IIRC, I *did* use Quick Mask (at least two years ago!) to create a very accurate masking effect because I wanted accuracy and could see the image while masking at the same time. I have started using Gimp after a long time and I recall now that Quick Mask has nothing to do with the Layer Mask. It just didn't occur to me when I replied to Victor. -- Thanks & best regards, Asif _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
