Good morning everyone. I am trying to create a seamless diamond checker pattern. I want to create a PNG file for my laser engraver and apply a diamond checkerboard pattern for engraving wood. I know how to create a checkerboard pattern, I can figure out how to make the rectangles into diamond shapes and I'm not seeming much online either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Blending colors to fill in white cut-out lines? |

Hi all,
I've used GIMP in the past and have re-installed it to use it for creating a single photo where i inserted 1 cut-out image (as a layer) onto another image. The smaller image i have cut out has these white lines around it, which i would just like to blend in with the surrounding colors. I'm not really interested in making a better cut out, because the image that is cut out is very complex in shape. I would really just want to 'brush' the white line away. Is such a thing possible? I tried making a selection and using the feather tool, but this only makes the white marginally darker. I really just wanna extend the surrounding color into the white line if possible, or whatever solution. The image will just be used for a thumbnail, so doesn't have to be razor sharp at all in these details.
Thanks in advance!
attached is a zoomed-in shot of the inserted image and white line

Can't save my work exactly as I need to! |

I last used Gimp some years ago when I was doing some screen printing and at that time I had no problem saving my work in its finished form.
However, as a new user again after about an 8 year layoff, I find myself struggling to do what should be a most basic operation, saving my work in its completed form.
I have a graphic illustration from which I need to remove a solid color background. Having done so, then I can then set the foreground object in another design. I have had no problem with removing the background, but when I try to export it to my desktop in jpg format, it saves the file with a white background which is still present when I drop this image into my other design.
If anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong (if in fact I am), or what I might do to remedy this situation, I would be very grateful.

Pseudo-infrared |

Explaining something I obtained something that looks like an IR photo, so here it is...
The initial question is about inverting luminosity while keeping the colors...
So:
- Put your image in a group (bottom group in screenshot below)
- Add a white layer below it
- Set the image layer to LCH Lightness mode
- The result of the group is a grayscale version of the image
- Layer > New from visible to "freeze" that result
- Color > Invert for a negative version
- Add a second group (top group in screenshot)
- Add a copy of your initial image in it
- Add the inverted layer above it in the group
- Set the inverted layer to LCH Lightness mode
Edit: there is even a way to avoid the New from visible (layer modes in parentheses when different from "Normal"):
