With both the heal and clone tools I can't set a source. The message says ' Ctrl-Click to set a new source' but this does not work. I'm using Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon.

We do all this work to enhance our pictures but then have to take them somewhere for prints. Can someone recommend a reasonable priced home printer for quality pictures?

Thanks in advanced

I imported 30+ PNG files of a fireball output from the fun TimelineFX tool.

I did the import as layers option.

I've tried with and without filter animation blending.

When I do filter animation playback, the edges of the animation coming from the separate fireball layers which have alpha transparency...

bleed solid orange all around the circumference.

This seems very strange. I did the "replace" option for each image/layer in the playback and it still does it.
My expectation for the animation is that the tiny particles at the edges would disappear layer to layer as it was being displayed, giving the effect of fluid fire particles.

Thoughts?

In the past I've taken sequences of images like that and animated like in JavaFX and it was smooth and accurate.

I would just use the GIF that can be output from TimelineFX but it is just a little bit slow with no way of adjusting.
So I wanted to create a GIF using Gimp.
I'm using 2.10.34

I was toying around, then I got some delirium tremens ...
the luminescent snail was AI generated (not mine)
Yeah... I know.... my ego is overwhelming me

Here, I'd like to stretch out this character's lower torso as shown without messing up the pic, how do I do so using either Liquid Rescale, or any simpler alternatives?

Now, how do I use Liquid rescale (or any easier alternative methods) to stretch image sections at an angle? Here, I'd like to stretch this character's lower torso as shown out longer, but without messing up the image in any way.

Hello
Is it possible to create a brush that can pick up 2 colors at a time, allowing a line in which the 2 colors appear separate or mixed in places, depending on the structure of the brush bristles - in fact, exactly as in oil painting?
Such a brush may already exist, but I'm not familiar with it.
Thank you for your advice
sincerely
Denis

Googling my question hasn't given me the answer so I'm wording it differently here.

I want to take a rectangular border.
Transform one by 90 degrees.
Have them meet in the corner.
But then I want the border to look like a border made into a frame.

In other words for those who sew I want it to look like the preview image for this video,

But of course with my digital border.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Thank you,

The Image Properties Dialogue always shows the print size in millimetres even though I've set the print size to inches and the ppi/inch.

It annoys me to no end as my mind works best with inches.


How do I get it to change this?

Thank you,
Angel

As in the link attached below, how do I edit this character’s lower torso so it is almost as tall as her upper torso without messing up the whole picture? I want the end result to look as natural as the initial appearance… only that her lower torso is almost as tall as her upper one
