GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 87798
Selection -> Similar would be nice (grow by similar color)
Last modified: 2018-05-24 10:45:29 UTC
Package: GIMP Severity: enhancement Version: HEAD Synopsis: Selection -> Similar would be nice Bugzilla-Product: GIMP Bugzilla-Component: Tools Description: Photoshop (since 3.0 at least) has had a feature where you could select by a selection. It lives in the Select RMB menu. It is called Similar. If you have a selection, you can have it grow the selection based on the colors selected. It then grows the selection to pixels which are "Similar" in color to the colors in the selection. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2002-07-09 21:45 ------- Reassigning to the default owner of the component, bugs@gimp.org.
Changes at the request of Dave Neary on the developer mailing list. I am changing many of the bugzilla reports that have not specified a target milestone to Future milestone. Hope that is acceptable.
This would probably be a useful change but I'm not sure if I understand the request correctly. Would the selection extend to colors similar to the border colors or similar to the average of all selected pixels or similar to at least one of the selected pixels? Perhaps someone can test what PS is doing here and add a comment to this report.
I realize this is old, but I created a script-fu that is insanely slow but does (I believe) what this request is about. Just providing this as a reference: http://registry.gimp.org/node/15917
