Look nice.

Not sure this is that widely known, but convert selection to path and back to selection, then fill with color again, makes the edges less "pixelated". Doesn't always work well on smaller/thinner objects though, which have a tendency to magically disappear.

Oh. Well, I re-discovered it on my own.

Possibly worth mentioning the sun-burst rays.

In Gimp 2.8 one way was the line-nova script. This is missing from Gimp 2.10 menu structure but at the moment is still there if you use the search / (forward-slash) key example: https://i.imgur.com/teCg47D.jpg

An alternative again from Gimp 2.8 days was a sunray script, a bit more flexible than line-nova and a bit more hands on. It makes a selection, up-to-you to fill it. (or use it to cut out). Script attached, example: https://i.imgur.com/BnpfnnO.jpg Registers in a strange place Tools -> Selection Tools -> SunRay Pattern.

...and much more recent. The gmic plugin: https://i.imgur.com/T4DhH3Z.jpg
