Hi there
New to the forum and GIMP
I have been using CS2 for years ( I know really old!!!
) but got fed up with it and been trying out GIMP.
Been going ok so far but one question i have is about using Alpha To Selection
I want to put mulit photos into a shape so looked at videos etc... and found that adding Alpha to Selection on the shape then putting a layer mask on the picture would put this in the shape.
Problem i have is how to do remove the alpha selection afterwards as any layer effect i would to do on something else only happens on that layer.
So example is if i wanted to do a drop shadow on text it wont appear but go on the shape with the alpha select on it.
Sure i am doing something wrong.
Cheers
