Rectangle Select Tool PART 2 - GIMP 2.8 Beginners' Guide ep25 Video Lecture | A GIMP 2.8 Tutorial for Beginners - Design Softwares

hi in this episode I continue with the
rectangle select tool so let's get
started I'm going to skip this one for
now and start with the feather edges
option by default this is off so if I
grab the rectangle select tool click and
drag like this
then enter key to apply the selection
I'm going to use control comma to fill
in with black color you can also do this
by going to the Edit menu filled with
foreground color I'm going to make
another selection and this time I'm
going to activate the feather edges
option and let's say radius of 50 pixels
then again I'm going to click here to
apply the selection and control comma to
fill in with black power now notice that
we didn't get any feathering this is
because we started the selection before
activating this option so I'm going to
draw one more rectangle this time with
this option activated control comma and
you see now that we have this feathering
edges option working properly so for
some of these options you need to first
modify the options and then do the
selection in order for them to work so
by feathering the selection you are
making the edges sort of
semi-transparent and this way whatever
effect you apply you only apply the
effect partially in this case I filled
with a Cour sometimes you may for
example use any of the Cour tools I show
this in my previous tutorial how to make
smooth transition using feathering
selection you can also further
reflection by going to the Select menu
and choose the ferrer option so this can
be used in many ways to achieve
different kinds of effects now I'm going
to hit control Z a few times to undo all
this now let's uncheck the feather edges
option next we have the rounded corners
option
I'm going to drag like this and I'm not
going to apply the selection and now I
can check this option rounded corners
and you see I can modify this and once
I'm happy with the rounded corners I can
click here to apply the selection notice
now that the antia lysing option is
active and now we can turn it off and on
and to demonstrate what this does I'm
going to leave it on I'm going to fill
this selection with black hour then I'm
going to create another rectangle but
before that I'm going to turn this
option off and then start the selection
then I'm going to use control camera
again to fill with black our control
shift a to deselect and you see the
difference here we have hard jagged
edges here we have smooth edges by the
way this is a very small image just 640
by 400 pixels if i zoom out you can see
that here we have smooth edges and here
we have these jagged edges so depending
on what you are doing you may want to
turn this off but most of the time keep
this on I'm going to turn off the
rounded corners option next we have the
expand from centre option if I activate
this then click and drag I'm going to be
expanding from centre or from the point
where I clicked you can see how this
works
I think I mentioned this in the previous
tutorial that the keyboard shortcut for
this is control key so you need to click
then hold down the control key and
you're going to be expanding from centre
but because this option was active this
actually deactivated the option now so I
need to turn it off to shoulders click
then hold down the ctrl key and now the
selection is expanding from the center
and I'm going to stop here I'm going to
finish with the rest of the options in
the next
beginner's guide video so that's it for
this one I hope that it was useful if it
