I can’t spell, obviously.

See, now, before my great crash and reformat, I had been backing up my logins and passwords, along with my bookmarks and stuff, for Firefox.

Then I went to replace it, and it didn’t work.

Why?

I can’t spell. Signons.txt != singons.txt

GIMP: Complex Selections Made Easy

*note, I’ll add some images later*

First: create a new, transparent layer over your base image.

Second: on that layer, paint over the area you would like selected. I would suggest a slight bit of transparency so you can see the underlying portion of the image.

Third: right click the image and select:: Layer -> Transparency -> Alpha to Selection

Fourth: hide the new layer, and select the layer that you wish to work on with the new selection.
