floating selection / copy from other layer
#6
Are you trying to apply PSP operations to Gimp - not going to work

You are going to have to explain a bit more.

Quote:one I have an example BG with the word TEST embossed

This is 2 layers - yes A background layer and a layer with some text on it. If it is some type of PSP image, you will have to make it into 2 gimp layer.

Quote:Then I set the layer effect of TEST to exclusion giving the negative effect

definitely not a Gimp - no layer effects and no exclusion layer modes.

Pass for the moment on this one.

edit:
Quote:..The point being I want to get the selection of one layers content and use that selection to remove or copy the content of another layer. Very simple in PSP just by clicking the layer you want to affect after you have the selection made. I am used to being able to simply click copy, or copy merged or delete etc.

It is simple in Gimp as well.

Have a look at this little video - 2 mins duration - see if there is anything applicable to what you require.
