not limiting, but liberating ;) An object picker nicely complements the unified transformation tool. Using the latter to select objects is like taking the sledgehammer to crack a nut: it takes quite some attention to select without accidentally moving things and additionally, the transform tool's handle will obscure parts of the target. >> Somewhat paradoxically, this would be my favourite tool for color >> adjustments. > > For what color adjustments precisely? anything from the 'Color' menu as well as filters. An object picker might also be regarded as a 'Menu target selection tool'. You are right though, that peter is striving hard to cut down the tool count... - yahvuu _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
