I have made a coin, but need it to turn around, the same image will be at the back, how do you do it, is there a tut for it.

Hi
When I click on the Toolbox menu entry the toolbox panel does not comes up. nothing happens.
I am able to add layers, do selections etc but not able to access the toolbox.
I was trying to set the FG color while creating a layer mask and discovered this problem.
I did not spot any error message from gimp 
any pointers greatly appreciated

GIMP 2.10.30 on Xubuntu 20.04

While performing other operations, I have found that the entire frame of reference for gimp (image, guides, etc.) is rotated by holding Shift-B2 (middle mouse button) and dragging the mouse.  [Note that this is NOT the same as using the Rotate tool to physically rotate the image itself withing the fixed overall frame of reference.]  This always happens accidentally and I have found no way to reset the view back to normal.

Here are my questions:

1: Is this type of rotation documented in the manual?

2: Why would you want to do this?  When you save the "rotated" image it seems to be the same as "non-rotated".

3: Is there any way to reset the view back to the normal exactly orthogonal position?

4: Is there a way to disable the Shift-B2 assignment so that this doesn't happen?

Thanks.

Certain filter dialogs have the ability to save Presets -- for example, the Sharpen (Unsharp Mask) filter or the Adjust Color Curves tool.

What I cannot figure out is how to delete an existing named Preset.  Also, if I change parameters and try to overwrite an existing named Preset, a new Preset is created with the same name, but each now have #1 and #2 appended to the names, cluttering up the Presets list.

It looks like the Presets are being saved in the ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/filters  directory.  I can exit GIMP and edit the appropriate file, but  this seems wrong.  Isn't there a way to remove them from within GIMP?

I looked through the documentation but didn't find  and general discussion of removing Presets.  Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Gimp is so different than ps. On with the basic newbee-death-freeze.
After scaling, or any transform,Layer is non-practicable.
How to normalize the layer & move on?
Thanks

Hello,

First of all, thank you Ofnuts for all the hard work & support.
I'm trying to use the path-grid-0.1.py plugin described here : http://gimp-path-tools.sourceforge.net/d...haped-grid. But as it turns out, that guide seemed a bit outdated (at least the install info simply doesn't work for 2.10) and since I didn't see a thread about any ofn-grid thingies in all the 24 pages i figured there was none to be found. I've searched this forum for "ofn-grid" or "hex grid" but no luck there either.
I downloaded the .py file and put it at ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/path-grid-0.1.py, but I don't see python-fu as an option and cannot find the tool either... I successfully installed and used it on another PC using gimp 2.8, but I'd really like to have both that plug-in (I didn't manage to generate an hexagonal grid with the default functionalities) and 2.10 functionalities (mainly Fill Path, which I believe is not available in 2.8).
I figured maybe it was because the python wasn't a valid command, but aliasing python3 as python didn't solve the problem either...

I am very inexperienced with GIMP so it is entirely possible that i'm missing something obvious or that I'm looking for a complicated way out of a simple problem.
Anyway, any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance !

Hi, is there a way to do this in GIMP?

I am getting jagged edges when I add an outline to text using the following method.

1. Type text

2. Layer > Transparency > Alpha to Selection

3. Select > Grow (3 pt)

4. Layer > New (Transparency)

5. Fill Selection using Bucket Fill Tool

6. Arrange layers so that the new layer is beneath the original text layer

The problem arises in Step 5 when the selection is filled.  The filled selection has jagged edges. How do I prevent these jagged edges?

Hi guys

Just finished my first project in Gimp which is a graffiti. Would like to get some honest and critical feedback from competent artists and people who just want to give me their impression.

I'm working in Blender mainly and I think it shows in a negative way. The image looks a bit too much like several layers stacked on top of each other and not like one coherent image. Anyone knows how I could change my workflow to get my next project more uniform/coherent?

Cheers
