Newbie Ask: 1) Select Object? 2) Rectangle line thickness 3)delete path node

[rich2005]

Quote:BUT... when I move one of the nodes it appears to actually be a copy of the original closed path as when the node is moved I can still see the original path below it ??

So, I apparently am not doing something right... my goal was to re-select the original path and relocate some of its nodes and modify the shape.

Are you seeing the stroke (bitmapped pixels) from the original path.

Gimp is a raster editor. There are no "objects" as in say Inkscape (or have you been using PS)

Always work on layers. Delete the original layer. Make a new layer. Stroke the revised path.
