I know it is cool that you can edit the selection live in the gimp it's like magic but having it in the new mode only really slows down the use of the tool for many users.

Does it? Are there many people who just draw a loop with the lasso tool and want it to make a selection right away, instead of using it to draw and edit a shape?

Overall the GIMp team tends to favour workflows for experienced users, but things that make life easier for a lot of users are ewlcomed if they're not at the expense of others. But such a mode would have to be the default for inexperienced peope to find it, right?

Great job on the new release of the Gimp to all involved.

32 bit in the Gimp and and not using Cinepaint is a dream :). I think an option should be added to the free select lasso tool to confirm selection automatically. I also noticed the gradient tool has such and option. I know it is cool that you can edit the selection live in the gimp it's like magic but having it in the new mode only really slows down the use of the tool for many users. Look forward to your thoughts on this.

Any thoughts on this are welcomed thanks again,

Nick.

the "+" and "-" of the selection tools allows for a broad initial selection followed by the aforementioned keys to tweak the original selection to what is needed, do they not? therefore, can the user not select a broad range of pixels and then narrow the selection with the "-" key to fulfill the desired result from the initial selection? i have done this on many occasion.

cheers
