I'm new to Gimp and cannot figure out how to get rid of a fuzzy tool selection mask I created (see attached photo). I've tried various resets and unchecks, and shift-ctrl-A, and even uninstalled and reinstalled Gimp 2.10. The mask is still there in the new installation.
I believe I was using the fuzzy selection (magic wand) tool so as to select all areas of a photo that are similar in color, so that I could change then all to a single color and then make this color transparent. The cursor then changed into a dotted map of all these areas.
The problem is that I cannot figure out how to turn off the fuzzy selection map. If I try to use the clone tool, I still get the fuzzy selection map (which moves around as I move my cursor).
What I want to get is the usual circular clone cursor for selecting an area and then cloning with it.
I'm sorry if this is an idiot question but sure would appreciate some kind soul telling me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
