Subtract From Selection. Bucket-Fill-Tool outside shape - datalars@mail.com - 10-05-2019
I'm a total gimp-newbie and this is probably an easy thing to do but I'm failing. I have three layers.
Layer 1. An image
Layer 2. A color(I chose foreground) which I have made a bit transparent.
Layer 3. A shape that does not totally cover layer two.
This shape I filled with a color with Bucket-Fill-Tool. That was no problem. But I want to fill the area outside the shape instead. I tried to do
Layer -> Transparency -> Subtract From Selection
but it didn't work. Any help is appreciated.
I just realized I posted in the wrong Forum. Sorry about that. This can be deleted.
