                 By using the Paths Tool, we easily selected irregular objects, with dotted lines appearing around the object, which
                 can be used for various purposes. The Paths Tool in GIMP, one of the most useful tools, allows you to select complex
                 shapes, draw custom shapes, edit paths by adjusting nodes and handles, apply stroke or fill effects to paths, and
                 transform objects by moving, scaling, or rotating them for advanced design needs.
