Hi there.

I can use the R-click 'Scale Layer' dialogue fine.


However, if I want to use the mouse to scale it, it seems I have selected the layer as I can use the Move Tool, but when I try to use the Scale Tool, it just puts something 1x3 pixels in the image, suggesting I haven't selected the layer.

Looking at the paint dynamics in Gimp 2.99.14 , both linux from PPA and Windows, there is no Dynamics OFF. Easy enough to make one but I wonder why it is missing ? Is it on purpose or an omission ?

Ah... answering my own question, there is a enable dynamics tick box in the tool options that is not there in Gimp 2.10

Hi everybody :
  I'm still learning my way around GIMP. When PASTEing a photo 
into an "open" photo (setting the inset photo as a layert),  is there a 
way to "unerase" the layered photo when I make a mistake. In other words,
to "fine tune" ERASEing  the inset image to match the outline of the 
base image ?

document.oncontextmenu = null; document.body.onpaste = null; document.body.onselectstart = null; document.onselectstart = null; document.ondragstart = null; document.body.oncut = null; document.onmousedown = null; document.body.oncontextmenu = null; document.body.oncopy = null; document.body.ondragstart = null; document.body.onmousedown = null;

I selected the line of a boarder of a country and I made transparent the rest of the image  because I should like to put it onto another map as a layer..
The thumbnail shows how it should look like.    
But if I open the image, is not the same. See bad-map-image. 

Here is the xcf file, what I done.
Where did I go wrong?

I was looking for a script or plug-in that could make fade-outs. I couldn't find one so made a batch script that uses GEGL.



It needs "sudo apt install gegl"
I want to use this for animated objects with an alpha background but it also works with no alpha channel like above.
For an animated sequence of frames select the last 30 or the first 30 and export them with ofnuts 'Export all layers' to a folder.

On linux run the script in a terminal in the folder like this:
./GEGLfade30Frames.sh

I also use 'pack linked layers', 'Rename layers' and 'Reverse/Mirror layers' to achieve this or to import and use the fade outs.
This script is a sledge hammer approach. It would be better in python with sliders and forward and backwards options.

I'm new to Gimp and this kind of software in general. I'm using the clone and healing tools and must've clicked something wrong because now the ability to use either is not working. When I select either tool, there is no circle cursor, just two small crosses or a square targeting with the sides missing. Clicking control doesn't hold either in place. I've tried reseting Gimp to default settings and the issue persists.

Hi everybody :
     What causes "garbage" to be shown under my post ?

Hi eveybody :

       When selecting TEXT>drawing text box on diplay, I notice an "Empty Layer"
keeps showing.  When I type my text, it shows up in the Empty Layer.  But I can't
see the text on the display. I'm trying to add text to a photo.

Hello,

I'm trying to blend two folders of images together using mode LCh Colour. I can get it working for one image at a time but am struggling to automate it. I have tried Python-fu and BIMP, but haven't been able to get them to work for this problem.

Any advice?

Thanks

I used a plugin made by Markku Koppinen also named Ottia Tuota : Perspective Transform - 4 points to 4 points
I made a new layer under the 'music page' layer, layer 'white'
Made a copy of the 1st stave (layer 'music line copy') 
Made a path along the 'music line copy' (small blue path - consists of 3 lines / path 'source')
Copy the path to a new layer, scale it to 200% and moved it to the top of the 'white' layer (on the picture not visble / path 'move to')
Use the Ottia Tuota plugin (set 'keep original layer' to 'yes')
Now the layer 'music line copy' is enlarged and moved to the top of the 'white' layer as layer 'music line copy/perspective transform'
Second try with an angled stave  (I copied and rotated for this example as layer 'angle line'):
Made a path along this music line (small red path - consists of 3 lines / path ' angled')
Moved the 200% blue path from the enlarged stave a litle down (big blue path / visible on the picture - path 'move to')
Use the Ottia Tuota plugin (set 'keep original layer' to 'yes')
Now the layer 'angle line' is straightened and enlarged and moved under the first enlarged line, layer 'angle line / perpective transform'
Lot of arrows, but easy to understand (I think...)
