Hi all, at the risk of being a doofus, i wanted to share some work i did a few years back(I think it is better quality than what i have shared before). I want to post it somewhere, instead of letting it rot on my hard drive. It is pixel art from a collab that never got published.

Here is the collab: https://pixelation.org/index.php?topic=31210.0

I'm not a very experienced pixel artist, so participating in this collab was a good learning experience for me, and taught me a lot about GIMP and graphic art in general. Sadly, i haven't been doing as much graphic art lately, though I do occasionally still find the opportunity to open GIMP for one reason or another, and very much appreciate that this software exists. Anyway let me post images:

T2 Mirage:
   

T7 RNA Stream:
   

T31 Dr. Devil(MD):
   

T40 Hoax Man:
   

...well, I'm not sure how to upscale the attachments in the post, and i kind of prefer to submit in the original size. Maybe there is a way to magnify in the BB prefs? IDK, if people respond with interest, I can provide some progress shots and reference stuff illustrating the process i used.

Take Care!

I'm new here. Been using gimp for a long time now and sometimes run into the problem I'm currently having. Sometimes when I use one of the standard feathered edge brushes in a transparent layer, the brush's edges are a bunch of concentric circles, instead of being nice and feathered. However if I use the same brush directly on the background, it does look nice and feathered. Is there a setting that fixes this? Or am I doing something wrong?

See attachment. Thank you to anyone who can help with this.

Well I though I was entering intermediate skill level...

I'm trying to make a flyer for print. I'm trying to get things perfectly positioned; like you can do in desktop publishing software.

I havnt been able to find any coordinate settings, besides setting all the units to inches.

Even just the guides positioning guides is over my head.  I did find where you can insert guides by a percentage or pixel count,  but I have no idea how I could convert pixels/% to inches.

I was trying to make a .25" border around the flyer, and I realized there was more to it than something like Scribus.

I'm a bit surprised X/Y coordinates, and positioning tools are not front and center.

hi all

i like this color so i'm using the color picker tool, so lets keep it straightforward;

i click on "color picker tool"
then i click somewhere in the image of the color i want

now where does that color go?

in the left pane, in the middle, theres 2 squares which say foreground color/background color, i click there and i don't see the color i just chose

in the right pane, theres "color history" and i dont see it there neither

this sucks! where is my color

if it helps you, using gimp 2.10.18

thx

Hello again everyone,

Today I am trying to make 120 concentric circle images. I want to start at 600x600 with a border of 2, then 598x598 with a border of 2, then 596x596 with a border of 2, etc.

I tried to use the shrink command but after I shrank my first circle by 2 the shrink option became ghosted and I could not continue. Any ideas why?

Of course a script to do this would be best

I found this 
http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6923
which points to a file on the registry but that is closed so then I went to github and I found an .html file talking about the script and then reading the .html file I found out that the script name is concentric-fill-selection_0.scm but searching for that got me nowhere.
 
Thanks

I would feel stupid posting this as a scripting question:

   

It's from some C manuals and I couldn't understand it. AI told me the 'i' is a variable while I was thinking it was an algebra symbol. No wonder I struggle with code.
I am updating some C code from GTK2 to GTK3 and the AI is giving answers that the compiler accepts. I haven't tried it with interpreted languages like Python but I suspect it would know the code.

Hello, I'm trying to translate a children board game because there is no official translation.
I have scanned some cards and I would like to remove the text (in a nice way) from the pictures and replace it with the translated text.
I tried the healing tool but the text is not really removed completely, it is still visible as an halo.
This is most probably given from the not uniform background color produced from the print process and taken over by the scanner.
What is the best practice in this case to remove the text from the scan?
Note: I wanted to attach an example of the scanned cards but it didn't work because it seems to be to large. I have uploaded it to ImgBB (https://ibb.co/w6Rf7Lh)

hi all

can you please help

i'm trying to do the simplest thing in the world (copy and paste in gimp 2.10.18)

it won't do it (i've done it before so i know how to do it

let me prove it
i select the rectangle select tool
i chose the section
control c
control v
nothing happens

i noticed at the bottom it says; "unable to cut or copy because the selected region is empty"

what could i be doing wrong

sorry to bother you with such a stupid question

thx
