You can't disable the border selection programatically.

Then channel to Selection and delete the channel. -Rob A> On 9/24/10, Ofnuts <ofnuts@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 24/09/2010 19:44, Ofnuts wrote: >> The whole plugin paints successive concentric uniform 1-pixel ribbons >> around the original selection (pixel values a obtained from another >> layer).
