In order to understand how this script works, we must focus on the selection mask, that is the channel related to the selection (you can view it either by activating Quick Mask or by saving the selection as a channel). Referring to this mask, the script eliminates every area that is composed from non-white pixels and is completely enclosed by a fence of white pixels; since the elimination consists in filling such areas of the mask with white, the corresponding holes of the selection will disappear.  read more »

The range selection script is a tool for easy and automatic creation of selections and lay­er masks. The selections or masks include all parts of the image that are situated within a defined range of tonal values, colours, saturation or edges. Selections can be based on one of 16 channels. For detailed instructions and several samples have a look at the attached manual.

Creates a vignette around a selection.

- Vignette based on selection and active layer.
- Softness, opacity, and colour of the vignette can be changed in the dialog box.
- Checking "Keep Layers" allows adjustment of vignette opacity after the fact.
- Also check "Keep Layers" if you have other layers visible otherwise they will be merged down.

Location: Filters/Light and Shadow/Vignette

This script is based on the vignetting method outlined by Sue Chastain

This is my first script.
It is needed to the competent cannon http://registry.gimp.org/node/60 script.
I you have more that once rectangle selection area. You can use this script to copy on active layer any selection area and set him as individual layer.

Why this is not already a menu item I do not know.

Does what it says, makes a selection to match your layer.

This script pops up a GUI which allows you to save your selection to various places

The source is your current selection (or whole image if none) applied to one of:
- the current layer
- all visible layers
- all layers

The destination is one of:
- a PNG file (saved directly to disk)
- a new image in GIMP
- a new layer in the current image

Rectangular selection in parametric modality by means of dialogue window.
