I seem to have lost the tool to select a sample from the picture. 

I think I might have accidently clicked on the wrong thing or touched a key on the keyboard.

I'm a real novice with PC's and IT so don't know much.

Before when it was working I would click on the area i wanted to select from then press the trl key on my keyboard and a circle would appear which could then use as my source for cloning and healing. Now i get  four corners and a cross in the middle and the cross stays where click but doesn't work .

Hi,
I'm working on a script that takes some time to execute because it sends a list of online requests. It can last up to few minutes. During the process, the window "gimp is not responding" with the options "force to quit" and "wait" appear. Is there a way to prevent it ?

I've always been marveled at GIMP and very happy that it's so accessible.

I was wondering if I can ask, I'd like to know how indexing works and creation of a palette, it happens so quickly that I was wondering if anyone could tell me (even if roughly) how this indexing works. Or even point me to a an article or the name of the creator of this particular algorithm.

I attach an image of what I am talking about.

   

Hi,

We obtain the secondary colors by superimposing the primary colors, such that:
Red + Yellow = Orange
Blue + Red = Purple
Yellow + Blue = Green

Is there any way to produce this with The Gimp?

   

I laid each color in a layer and tried to get the secondary colors, I tried the layers modes and the composite mode, but without getting the expected results.

Thx!

I am doing a script that I want to execute very quickly with a shortcut, or more slowly with a option window. Something similar to "save" (quickly executed with ctrl+s) and "save as ..." (with a window to precise options). How should I do ?

1. Should I do two completely separated plug-ins ?
   
2. Or one plug-in with two python files in it (one importing the other I guess) ?
   
3. Or can I put several register function in one python script ?
   
4. other ?
   

Hello, 

I've messed around with Gimp for a few years when I need to do something but today I'm having a lot of problems using the scale tool. I have a base layer with an image, I paste in a second image that I put on its own layer that I can manipulate with the unified transform tool and rotate tools just fine but the image is too large and I wanted to scale it down with the scale tool but I am unable to just select the image I want and instead it selects the whole canvas. What am I doing wrong? I don't ever recall having this issue before so I guess I'm doing something wrong.

Cheers

Is it a good idea to use github for creating and using gimp plug-ins ? I guess it is very useful to share them, and for team work. But is it useful to clone a repository directly in your plug-in folder ? will it keep the plug-ins up to date ?

I just started using it but I'm still very new to it. If anyone has pieces of advice, experience or whatever  please share

Hello,
Could someone recommend me an extension that makes it possible to create nice logos and inscriptions.
I've attached a preview image of what I mean.
Thank you very much for your time.
Have a good evening.
