[Gimp-user] selections workflow???

[Tom Davidson]

Im going to go nuts - i do not understand the gimp work flow with
selections.

When I paste an element on to a layer, i can no access the area of the layer
not covered by the element. In on specific example, I moved the contents of
a layer slightly to the right. This left a small column of transparency on
the left edge. I have tried to select this are to fill or brush but using
several different selection tools, but it appears that the element is
currently selected and I  can not deselect it.

I have been "dealing" with this ALL afternoon and give up.

I am confident that this is may lack of understanding.... and hoping someone
can show me the light.

Thank you and regards, tom
