Someone else already pointed you to the relevant section of the manual that explains how to combine selections. However I'm not sure if I understood your question correctly since you are not using the GIMP terminolgy. Which tool are you actually talking about? Please have a look at the tool name as shown in the tool options dialog. I assume you are referring to the "Intelligent Scissors" tool?! > also something that might also help alot of people who have to work > with photoshop on a daily basis, is if for hte icon of the polygon > select to you could use something simular to the lasso icon that > photoshop uses? It is not our goal to make the GIMP a 100% clone of Photoshop. Actually most of the GIMP developers don't ever use Photoshop.
