Selecting individual objects on images is easier now with a new foreground select tool. You can still constrain aspect ratios or specific sizes. While the tools have been redesigned to make them easier to understand for the newbies, all the former functionality is there. Most of the existing shortcuts still work, but the functionality is either available through the tool options or made obsolete due to the interactive move and resize on canvas.

The learning curve for the tools has been flattened as the key functionality is available without obscure shortcuts that confused GIMP beginners. Additionally the rectangular selection tool includes a setting for creating rounded corners as this has been identified as a very common task among web designers. The selection tools have been rewritten from scratch to allow resizing of existing selections. Unlike previous versions of GIMP, regardless of whether you’re using a bitmap brush, parametric brush or even a picture tube (multiple bitmaps), you can easily set the brush size with either the tool options dock slider or an external device such as a MIDI slider or knob or a USB device like the Griffin Powermate. This has been an oft-requested feature from both digital painters and photo editors. The tool options now include a brush size slider that affects both the parametric and bitmap brushes.
