tomos:
am i [going] nuts
or
is there no "pan" tool in GImP ?
[jeez, new computer, new keyboard, one week old - cant type a capital "m" :huh: >:( ]
back ontopic:
the pan tool being something like the hand tool in Acrobat Reader/Photoshop etc
where you can move the view of the image within the window as opposed to actually
moving the image around on the page so-to-speak.
difficult to explain in words but i reckon you all know it anyways :)
It looks to me as if you have to use the scroll bars or the navigation pane/dialog.
I couldnt find anything about it in Gimpland/googleland
(well apart from the guy who thought the zoom tool was the pan tool cause the icon looked like a fryingpan ;D )

Is this what you want:

Edit: Actually it's not as it only moves the selection etc. Found this on gimp.org... panning was apparently added in 2.3 (they're gearing up to release a stable 2.4 at the moment):
Changes in GIMP 2.3.12
======================
- merged the Perspective Clone tool
- allow to pan the image view using the Space bar

Haven't read this thread, so apologies if this is stale news: the UK magazine Amateur Photographer has lately been recommending Picture Window Pro as a low-cost $89.99 package "that in some respects rivals Photoshop CS3 for functionality," albeit "you may struggle with the interface at first."

Priceless! And, for the record, that wasn't me (though it does reflect my typical level of comprehension). :)

I didnt even click at first -
I thought -
what a great idea for a pan-tool icon !
..would be too, except for the confusion: see

That's a zoom tool, the icon looks like a pan, so is that why you called it a
pan tool?
