Simple question... I hope...?<br>
<br>
How can I draw a nice circle in Gimp? I can't seem to find a circle tool...?<br>

Use the elliptical select tool, hold down CTRL key to constrain as circle, fill the selected area with new color, right click on selected area, choose SELECT, SHRINK, shrink selection by whatever number of pixels you want your circle width to be, right click again in selected area, choose EDIT, CUT. Voila, one beautifully antialased circle.

I thought it'd be something (relatively) simple like that, but I didn't know about the SHRINK feature... time to read the manual.. hehehe<br>
