[Gimp-user] subtract selection control

[ChadDavis]

I've got a rectangle selection.  Now, I am trying to do a subtractive
selection within that rectangular selection, to make a sort of picture frame
selection.  The problem is that I'm having trouble getting the inner,
substractive selection centered within the first rectangle.

When I use the ctrl key while selecting, it grows a rectangle and I can't
figure out where to start the growth so it is centered.  Very hard to do.

When I try to use the tool settings dialog to push the subtractive selection
option, the selection doesn't even seem to work?

Any solutions?

Gimp 2.2.13, Debian linux


thanks,
Chad
