Cropping Layer to Path
#1
Hi all,
I am pretty new at GIMP and just use it occasionally. I would like to cut down a layer to a specific path I have created so that the image matches up with that layer. I have the path created, but can't figure out how to make the crop happen since it is only a partial selection. I have attached my .xcf file. 

Thanks for your help!

Not too sure what you want. Something like this?

You have a quick mask active, so first turn it off

Select -> Toggle Quick Mask.

That leaves you with an active selection. Guessing that you need to invert it. Select -> Invert

and cut Edit -> Cut

Turn the selection off Select -> None Turn the path off Paths dialog -> click the eyeball icon

Then you have a choice depends what you want.
Leave as-is
or
Layer -> Layer to Image Size
or
Image -> Autocrop Image. (as shown)
