But if you want accurate selections, using paths to create them instead of the lasso tool can also be a better idea.
A good idea, on a single work session for a image. But paths don't seem to stay in place when I close an image and re-open it. Which would be ideal. That I had lasso tool selected when I took that screencap is incidental. I should have cropped out that distraction. But it really does seem the solution is to hard-recode the guides themselves in script-fu somehow so they can store coordinates beyond their usual scope. Again, haven't touched the stuff yet. Thanks for the idea though!
