Having trouble with selection tools
#1
As the title suggests, I'm having trouble with the selection tools. I'm extremely new to GIMP, but I am proficient in Photoshop, so the shift has been interesting. 

Basically, when I try to select something (with the fuzzy selection or select by color), it doesn't select. I'm selecting on the correct layer, but the marching ants don't appear unless I hold down the mouse, and then as soon as I let it go, the selection goes away. It's not retaining the selection, no matter what I do. Any tips? Could this be because I'm on a Mac? 

Apologies if this is an easy fix. I'm new. Thanks in advance!

Check that the selection is visible (View>Show selection)(toggle with Ctrl-T)

And on 2.10 remmber that youhave to "commit" the selection (enter or double-click)
