Quote:After I was halfway through I saved the file. But the free select tool (lasso) automatically connected my last selection point with the first where I started and closed the selection even though I was only halfway through.This cut my picture in half.
This is a normal behavior : when you save your file, if the active tool is not "commited", gimp automatically commit it ; for the free select tool, it connects the first point with the last to produce a closed shape and creates a selection which is saved into the file.
Quote:Is there any possibilty to open up again a closed/finished selection?
Unfortunally no. Once committed, the points and segments are definitly lost.
If you have a laborious selection to create, use the Path tool instead.
So if you have to save the file and close gimp before the path is finished, the path will be saved, and you will be able to edit it later.
Finally, use the button Selection from Path in the tool options to create a selection.
