Maybe try this: Use the Path tool to mark out a suitable bit of wall elsewhere in the picture Path to Selection Click on the selected area, Edit=Copy Then Edit =Paste Go to Layers. Make the Floating Selection into a New Layer. Go to Move tool. Move the Pasted area (the wall) where you want it to cover up the guest. Then Anchor it, Merge Visible Layers or Flatten Image to fix it in place. You'll probably need to fiddle a bit to get a patch of wall that matches its surroundings properly. If you can't get a perfect match straight away you can usually finish off the edges with the clone tool.

You may also need to rotate the Pasted area, scale it or distort it to fit everywhere, but it's not a big deal Doug ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I want to copy a sample of the concrete in my sidsewalk and paste it into a circle. how do i get that square selection to fill up the round selection??? My first suggestion without knowing more specifics about your project, would be: 1) Apply Filters-Map-Make Seamless to the sidewalk image 2) Save the result to your patterns directory using a .pat extension 3) Select it in the Bucket Fill tool options to make it your current pattern 4) Check Fill whole selection in the Affected Area portion of the Bucket Fill tool options. 5) Fill the circular region in your image with your tiled sidewalk pattern I've not actually *tried* this but based on my experience it seems to be a practical solution in theory. Alternatively, especially if tiling your sidewalk image turns out to be not so good of an idea, you can try this: 1) Use File-Open As Layers to bring your sidewalk image into your XCF project as a new layer. 2) Place the sidewalk layer *behind* the layer containing the area into which you're trying to paste it. 3) Cut a hole in the upper layer to allow the sidewalk layer to show through. You may or may not want to feather the edges of your selection as you do this. Alternatively, instead of cutting a hole in the upper layer you can leave that layer uncut and merely apply a layer mask to it so that the sidewalk shows through a black or white circular area in the mask (depending on which kind of mask you've used). Let us know how it goes. Myke ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
