I can't think of a direct way to do that but it can be accomplished with a few extra steps. * Duplicate your original layer (this will let you see the image as you paint). * Add a black layermask to the duplicate layer. * Apply the layermask. (The layer will become transparent, but the original color data is still there.) * Choose your paint tool and set the Opacity slider (in the Tool Options) to the level of _transparency_ which you desire. If you want the border to end up with 20% opacity then set the slider to 80% (fifty percent opacity means fifty percent transparency). * Paint the duplicate layer. (You can toggle the visibility of the original layer to see how the semi-transparent result of your painting will appear; however, the unpainted regions will not be visible.) * Add a layermask to the duplicate initialized to "Transfer the layer's alpha channel" with the "Invert" box checked. * Hide or delete your original layer. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
