Re: [SLE] How do i create a circle in GIMP?

Also, if you are going to use it in print, you might take a look at Inkscape to create structured (SVG) objects that can be resized easily without losing the clarity of the picture. Kolour Paint is a bitmapped paint program, but with far fewer features than the Gimp, but still very capable.

Thanks Lee, I'll take up your suggestions and have a look at these. I've come around to thinking that maybe Gimp is bigger than I need. A simple program with fewer options might be just the ticket. SteveC

Yes, also the gimp, like photoshop, is not really meant to be a painting program, but an image manipulation program as stated in the "Borders On Selection" tutorial: Since Gimp is an image manipulation program and not a painting program it doesn't include tools to draw shapes like squares and circles. However this doesn't mean you can't paint them, in fact there are some interesting options regarding this subject when it comes to the gimp. The solution is to use the selection stroking capabilities of the Gimp. If you look at photoshop, you "draw" a circle with the same convoluted way as the gimp: http://webdesign.templatemonster.com/web/photoshop/tutorials/basics-creating...
