Hello all,
Context: Am attempting to copy pixels from one layer to a new layer. To do this, with prior versions of GIMP, I would use the lasso tool in the original layer, select the pixels I want, hit the copy button and then paste to a new layer.
Problem: After upgrading to the new Gimp, the lasso tool no longer works. The pixels I selected lack the original 'glowing outline' and when I try to copy and paste the pixels in question, the ENTIRE layer is copied instead.
This is very frustrating, more so given that it is a basic function that worked great on prior versions of Gimp. I've tried resetting the toobox to default values, but that doesn't change anything.
I would welcome any assistance in this regards.
