so many scripts, so little time!
Maybe after the holidays I will have time to do some gfx-ing.
where in the filter menu will this reside?

I thoght I would post another example.Zoom Selection-2.6 is in Script-Fu/Effects Selection menu

Very useful script, Graechan. :bigthup

Since there is already a zoom function in the tools menu, might I suggest that you place it in the filters menu and call it "Zoom Selection".

GnuTux I was already in process of trying to fix my error and have changed name and relocated to Script-Fu/Utils. it's better to relocate as well

Thanks Graechan !
Is in possible future versions, you can add a few options?
- Feather Radius
- Glow Color
- Glow Opacity
For example, the glow-selection.scm

Rod as you can remember Water affects is still with me and I think I will use this code to try and get the result I wanted.

I did not like being beaten by the lighting affects Plug-in, below is quick Image using Zoom-Selection

MareroQ I kept options to a minimum on purpose, but I will look into some of your sugestions.

I hope you can find it usefull, I thought Molly's tutorial waranted a script and I added the animation to give the impression of it being highlighted, the texture option is to add a further distinction between the image and the zoomed selection

From This

To This

For sure it is useful but i would like get a similar result but inverting how the zoom effect is applied

i explain better :
as now the script zoom in,enlarge the content of the selection, but zoom in degrade the image much more than zooming out.

I would love instead a option to zoom OUT the unselected part leaving the content of the selection at original size
So if i zoom to magnify a txt or image that would be clean as in the original,while the rest will suffer less for scaling because scaled down (and anyway the rest is the less relevant part)

i hope it make sense..

An extra option has been added to Zoom-out the background instead. I think this is what you asked for. It's all in Rel2 now
