Hi Chris, love all your videos. Would you do a video on creating emojis on GIMP, or do you already have one? Thank you

Thanks to your great video, I'm going to start using GIMP today. You got to the point, explained things clearly and easily, you made using GIMP look like a lot of fun. More videos should be like yours. Also I've subscribed today. Thanks again.

Fun fact: The Crop tool's "Delete cropped pixels" option used to be its default/only behavior. If you want to nondestructively "crop" a single layer, here are some alternatives:

For layers that _are not_ using an alpha channel:
- Add an alpha channel, then use Rectangle Select to highlight the area to be cropped.
- Invert the selection, then use the Eraser tool to manually erase the portions outside the desired area.
- You can reverse this with the Eraser's "anti-erase" setting.
- _Why this works:_ The Eraser tool is functionally just a brush that operates on the layer's alpha channel, leaving the RGB values of the region unchanged.

For layers that are already using an alpha channel:
- Attach a Layer Mask to that layer.
- Select the Layer Mask, then create a Rectangle Select highlighting the area to be kept.
- Invert the Selection, then paint the entire region with black.
- You can reverse this by painting the mask white.
- _Why this works:_ A Layer Mask is functionally just a secondary alpha channel, which you can paint on like any normal grayscale layer, where white = opaque and black = transparent (IIRC).

None of this scat is working. I want it to GO AWAY and none of this is doing that. How do you find the delete crop pixels

This is one thing photoshop does FAR BETTER.
