How do I deselect a tool in GIMP?

By John Parsons

I've finished rotating and am trying to deselect the Rotate Tool. If I click on the image, the Rotate box reappears, undesiredly. If I click anywhere else, nothing happens.

The Select > None tool is unavailable and greyed.

There is always an active tool in Gimp. To deselect a tool you have to select another one. Some people use the "Measure" tool as their default tool, since it is the one less likely to change something by mistake in the image.
