Re: [Gimp-user] free select lasso tool options

[Dwain Alford <rteest53 gmail com>]

the "+" and "-" of the selection tools allows for a broad initial selection
followed by the aforementioned keys to tweak the original selection to what
is needed, do they not? therefore, can the user not select a broad range of
pixels and then narrow the selection with the "-" key to fulfill the
desired result from the initial selection? i have done this on many
occasion.

cheers
