Hi,
1. I've noticed something annoying - or maybe it's a special feature and it works as supposed ?
When I select some shape using a lasso tool, and use "Delete" key on that area, which is "edit-clear" function as I think, it erases an area with very nice edge antialiasing.
But when I select the same shape using a Magic Wand tool, and erase that area with "Delete" ley as well, edges are harsh, like in an old graphic editor which simply clears selected pixels.
This makes me very sick, as I do two-stage editing in majority of pictures: first stage is a shape select, reverse and background removal, then layer is being moved into another file... and I repeat that for few pictures. Second stage is detailing of all layers in new file, and here my problems begin - because what I have selected previously wasting many minutes, is not repeat-able as I don't want to double the time spent already for selecting area with lasso -> so I simply click MagicWand at background & select inverse. So easy, but erasing details give me sharp edges this time.
Do you know, how to make antialiased edges again ? I don't even think about feather, blur or similar options. How to clear selected area the same way, no matter with tool I use ? In both tools properties I've got "antialiasing" ticked on, I've got transparency (alpha channel).
2. Sometimes when I select some shape with lasso tool (usually when selecting comes over physical picture size - but Gimp shrinks selection automatically to picture size), click Layers->Transpareny->colour to alpha and use "Delete" key, some part of picture disappears. I've found a workaround to insert an alpha channel first, and then it all works fine. It's a bug for sure, where can I report it ?
Any clues appreciated.
Cheers
