White outline when using free select. - Brothan - 07-30-2022
No idea what is going on but whenever I cut/copy + paste a free selected area I get a stupid-ass white outline: https://imgur.com/a/g93egSx
Yet EVERY OTHER cutting tool doesn't do this. I legitimately do not understand why this stupid-ass program is doing this. I do not have feather edges selected.

Well, you are not going to get very far with posts like that. For some reason I can never duplicate it. I suppose it it is the same as this post. https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-White-lines-around-cut-out-layers?pid=29380#pid29380
Antialiased edge pixels using the BG colour. (white)
Make sure you have an alpha channel. `Layer -> Transparency -> Add Alpha Channel
Looking at your only other post, https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Cannot-erase-when-zoomed-in it seems you hate Gimp. Why use it if you dislike it ? Use paint.net or maybe etch-a-sketch.

I use free select followed by copy and paste. When I paste I get a floating layer with an outline. Then I merge the layer and the outline disappears.
I suggest you get your money back. Surely you can find different software that satisfies your needs.

@Brothan: I sometimes meet people like you. All kinds of serious programs are not magic tools that solve our problems when you snap your fingers (although we would like to) . One must first know what a program does and how to use it. Sometimes one encounters a problem, but usually it can be solved. In this case, a number of people are delving into gimp and trying to help people with gimp problems. By the way, a few years ago I does't liked gimp, that was because I could'n know the possibilities of that program. Now I like it (and also because it's free)
