I love how GIMP includes all the most useful tools into a single package. Who the hell needs to download a demo - and then put up with the months of "Please by full package..." paraphrased signs? I could very easily recommend GIMP to anyone, and I've barely begun using it!

This is a good tutorial; I appreciate the voice over being alert, at a steady pace and enthusiastic.

Please, help:

What I want to be able to do in GIMP is to select an area of my drawing and move it (for example, an arm that I was drawing wasn't proportional, but I like the way that I drew it so I want to move it to where it should lay; I want my canvas to remain the same, just the lines that I selected were to move) but I can't manage it. I followed the path portion of this video (minus the deleting of the outside) but moving only moved the selection lines and not the drawing on the layer.

@Somberwhispers You have to create a new layer.

Hey, I was just following your tutorial and when it comes to cropping with transparency I follow your steps, but my results are different. Instead of cutting to transparency, my program wants to cut to white background. How do I fix this?
