As I was reading 'Grokking the GIMP' I came up with some ideas. Unfortunantly, I don't have the skills/knowledge to implement these myself, So I hope I can describe them well enough that you can figure out what I'm thinking. If I still don't make sense, I can make some illustrations to help explain them. Select Within Adds to the selection everything that is fully contained within the selection (An option for this) Leave large areas unselected (checkbox with slider for minimum large size) Select Gradient This is hard to explain. It acts like the magic wand, but it keeps going as long as there is a smooth change. It doesn't care about the originating pixel, just as long as there is little change from pixel to pixel, it will keep going. WrapAround This would be VERY useful when creating backgrounds. When you (paint|select|etc.) near an edge, effects are automaticly applied on the other side of the image. Background Remover Used for defringing. Makes an edge partialy transparent and removes the background color from the semi-transparent area. (Imagine a black area bluring onto a white background) In this example the gray area would be made black, and the transparancy would be adjusted to give the same appearance of gray
