I'm creating a patch to add an option to the crop tool to blind the region outside the crop area, so you can see how the image will look after cropping. I've not decided yet if XOR is good, or if the area should become black. Anybody a preference? another question, how can I 'undraw' a section, after the user for example changed the location of a handle? If I use XOR this is not a problem, but if I draw the area black, this is a problem. thanks, Olivier
