Hi Adlabs,
I am glad to see you are experimenting with GIMP, I haven't had much time of late to do any more tutorials, although I have a few in mind. Thankyou for doing some.
Unfortunately there are no polygonal selections as you have noted, (I assume you mean a click and click another point to connect the two type). I have wished for something like that for a long time. If I had the knowhow I'd create a script or tool to do it, but I have no idea how to do that. I have used paths as well for a substitute with decent results.
I applaud you for doing this, I tried Photoshop for a few minutes before tearing my hair out and going back to GIMP, it is very hard to switch from something you are used to.
