Tool select

I am able to select a tool and use it on the image. However I can not deselect the tool. I close the dialog box but the tool icon is still in the image. I can change to another tool but I still cannot close one so that there is no icon in the image. The fuzzy select regions was particularly annoying. I have read and reread the documentation but cannot find the answer.

How do I get rid of the tool icon when done with it?

I am just starting to use GIMP. I have partially restored one black and white photo so far. It looks like it will be a rewarding challenge

Thanks,

The GIMP will always have exactly one active tool. The default tool is the rect select tool - perhaps this is what you are expecting?

Perhaps a no-op tool might be an idea (a pointer that does nothing except point). I'n not sure... Anyway, it doesn't currently exist :)

Hope this helps, and enjoy the adventure.

Cheers, Dave.

Sorry, but I don't understand what you are trying to do. There is always exactly one tool selected. Why would you want to deselect it? Having a tool selected shouldn't hurt in any way. Perhaps you can make another attempt at describing your problem.

gimp has never worked this way. perhaps you should go back to using the software you were using. i dont think gimp should ever work this way.

Carol, I don't really mind when you're rude to people like me, or other gimp developers. It has a kind of charm about it. But please don't be rude to people who are just asking questions.

Cheers, Dave.
