How? Mapped spheres in water |

I'd like to create an image of the planets 3/4 submerged in water - like stepping stones.
I've used GIMP a little over the years but I'm not a GIMP expert. Any idea how I would go about creating such a scene? I think I'd like to start with something completely fake - such as fake water with 3 spheres inside the water and then map/blend planet or pebble texture over the top.
Sorry, I know this is a very high-level question - I just don't know where to start.. other than with a Youtube tutorial on creating fake sky reflecting water I guess.

Angled Rectangular Select (or rhombus select I guess) - possible? |

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out if there's an easier way to make selections that have a fixed width, but are at an angle, for comic book panels.
Currently I've been drawing panels following this old guide (http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=9812). Basically, make a selection, then remove fixed height/width rectangle selections, and assigning the resulting selection to a path. It works great, but really only works in straight lines as far as I can tell.
It looks like I can make a fixed height/width selection using the rectangle select tool, and then go to the rotate tool, and change it to transform selections, I can make the angled rhombuses that I want. BUT - I can't rotate a selection that is being added or removed from a selection.
For example: I select my whole page. I draw a new selection, that is set to remove from the current selection. Once I draw it, I have the ability to edit it - make sure it's in the right position, make it a little bigger or smaller, etc. But if I try and click on the rotate tool, Gimp finishes the merge operation and only lets me rotate the new selection shape.
I could draw all of the angled rectangles separately, save them as paths, and then remove each one from my selection, but that seems very cumbersome and hard to work with since I can't see the other selection areas.
Is there a better way to do this? I wish I could just draw a rectangle selection and then rotate it before I commit to it right there.

Select option changing to intersect |

Often when I switch to the free select tool, I find it has switched itself into intersect mode. This appears to also be the case for the rectangle select tool. This may be more of a general problem with tool options automatically changing over to the right most position, as the move tool is switching into path mode on it's own too. I've tried setting them to the left most option, going into edit>preferences and saving the tool options. It didn't help. What could I be doing that would change the options on multiple tools that aren't selected?

Color change on importing |

When I import an image to an existing image as a new layer many times the color red is brought in as gray. I have changed my preferences and color management many times but nothing seems to work. How do I get the image to come in true?

Im modding DarkSouls right now and have custom icons for custom items.
The problem is for the icons:
DDS files can be saved with paint.net - but wont open or be displayed in the game
DDS files cannot be opened in GIMP.
When this occurs Error message reads: "DDS Image Message / Unsupported DXGI format (98)"
