I recently needed to make a nice little banner image for a webpage I was working on. No problem, I'll just use the GIMP. Hmmm...
- Crop to selection... Doesnt exist...
Tools->Transform->Crop and Resize.. This looks like it!... Nope, did nothing... Basically the only way I found to crop an image to the selection, is to copy the selection to a new image. A bit fiddly. - Layer->Add stroke...Doesnt exist...
Right now, I am very disillusioned with Linux, as I seem to be wasting a lot of time switching between the two operating systems, to use tools that Linux SHOULD HAVE.
What did I want to do? Simple... Make a graphic of a word.. Drop a black 2px border round it.. Crop the image so there is no wasted space, and save it as a .gif. Such a simple thing... There doesnt seem to be an easy way to do so in GIMP.
