creating a new image container

Date:Mon, 15 Dec 2008 01:24:21 +0100


I have upgraded my OS and as such got an upgrade of Gimp.  In the old
days when I wanted to work on a small portion of an image, I cut it
out and copied to to clipboard. Went of 'file' and 'new' and 'open'.
The new image was the size of clipboard piece.

With Gimp 3 when I copy the selected section for the old image the new
image is created the same size as the original.

When I paste the selection into the new workarea, it is the size
selected. But now I have a very large border.

Am I missing something in the upgrade to Gimp 3 when I read the action
menu?

First things first. There's no Gimp 3. Current stable version is 2.6.3

As for your problem - you can do it like this:

1. select and copy to clipboard
2. click file->create->from clipboard (or click shift+ctrl+v)

This should resolve your problem :)

My apologies, I stand corrected. I'm not even up to that yet.   2.4.5

There is no ' file->create->', but ( click shift+ctrl+v) works great.)
