Scissors Select Tool
GIMP 42
This tool allows you to make a selection by creating control points at the edges of
the area you are trying to select. Then the tool produces a continuous line connecting
these control nodes. The tool is used in the following way:
1. Create the first control point.
2. Create the remaining points in the area. Create as many points as possible in
order to select the area precisely. Control points may be mixed, which allows
you to modify the curve and select the area you want.
3. Finish creating points by clicking on the first control point (when you
place the mouse pointer on the last/first point of the selection, a new element
appears on the mouse pointer showing that the curve is closing at this point).
When working with this tool, remember that:
as soon as you close the curve (make a selection), you can start the selection
again using the undo operation;
it is not possible to select another tool if you have not finished setting control
points because all points will be lost.
This tool has the only option we are not familiar with yet, that is Interactive boundary. If
this option is enabled, it is easier and more convenient to make a selection.
If certain points are set not precisely, place the mouse pointer on the point, the pointer
turns into
and move this point to the place you want. If you need to add points to
the path, place the mouse pointer on the path, the pointer turns into , and then
click the left mouse button to add an additional point. To create a continuous line, place
