Rotatable Ellipse Guide
Ellipse_Demonstration (Not GIMP, it's a different tool by my tutor using mobile phone)
Creates an ellipse of various shapes and sizes and angles to trace and draw over.
Circles and ellipses are one thing I am struggling to do in GIMP. I knew how to create ellipse using the selection tool, export that to paths tool, and just rotate from there. But issue of this process is slow, and if there's issue with the ellipse, I have to start over again. Manual curves using the paths tool is rather imprecise, and often I am left to eyeballing the cylinder.
The ability to put elliptical guides will certainly help with creating curves and ellipses, likewise visualizing the shape I want to make.
Or if not, maybe just add the ability to rotate the selection tools as you are mapping them out in the canvas. I am however not sure if something like this already exists.
Thanks for listening!
