I create a layer under my text all the time. then I create a border around the text, or grow the text, and fill in the underneath layer with black --- to outline the text.
all of a sudden today, the outline layer is somewhat transparent. I can't get a solid black fill.
the opacity meter is 100% and I'm not touching it, and I have an alpha layer....any idea what is going on? I don't recall changing any other settings and can't really find anything online.
When cutting out a part of a flat image to create a new layer this generates a white line around the new layer. This is particularly noticible if I use paste in place.
I have attached two images before where the image is flat and the next where I have cut out the chair and the footstool. I would expect as the chair and footstool were part of the image before and cutting them out and pasting them in place would still create a seamless image but there are white lines as seen in the second image.
Is there some setting I have not changed that is causing this or something I am doing wrong?
I am not an expert user with graphics editors but i am facing a newbie problem.
I 'm using bucket fill to change the color of a selected area with a specific Hex Color.
My problem is that in some .png(s) the bucket is working correctly but in other .png(s) the bucket is changing the color to
a different color of my choice ( grey ).
Hi, I just need to get my font a little bit thicker/fuller but bold just gets it too dense. I got the font from another image but when I use it gets way too thin, but bold doesn't help me either. I'm using the font "Good Vibrations", the cursive version.
I'm trying to open TGA files in gimp 2.10, but the picture comes out almost entirely white when I do. how do I fix this? I know the file isn't corrupt or anything, so I don't know what's happening.
Hi. I noticed that Gimp 2.10.0 doesn't give users the Sharpen option under the Filters > Enhance menu. Once the filters list is opened with the enhance sub-menu, the formerly convenient Sharpen option is no longer there. I found out about using the Sharpen/Blur tool, but it isn't as effective at sharpening my images.
Is there a way to find some file or other way to go into my previous gimp 2.6 folder and copy and paste some way to get back that filter option? A script? I don't want to have to revert to my Gimp 2.6 version to get back that filter option. Can anyone help me solve this problem. As you might guess I'm not too knowledgeable about the details of Gimp. It hints at reckless driving.
Hi, I am a total noob outside of a couple of very simple repeated operations. Now I have ended up trying to work on an image I didn't start, and I can't figure out whats going wrong: I have a single layer containing both figures and a background. I can move my own picture into the image, and it covers the background with the figures showing up in front of it. So far, so good. But now I want to remove a couple of the figures, and that has proven frustrating. If I try to make the figures transparent, all I get is transparent pixels in the shape of the figure. The underlying picture does not show up. If I check the background, it is all cut out in a rectangle no problem.
It really feels like I am trying to work on two different layers, but can only see one.
Here, I have unlocked the alpha channel and done a rectangular cut to remove one of the figures: The outline of the figure remains, while a rectangle space is cut out from the background -which is on the same layer as the figure. The mostly dark section is what I have inserted and it is supposed to be showing in the transparent pixels. As you can see, the background is not showing up. I can raise the background up, but then it covers the rest of the figures.
I have recently found that when I scale down an image, Gimp stalls, becomes unresponsive and then I have to close it down.
Example of image size is 7360 x 4912 (9.13 MB) scaling down to 1080 x 1080. I've been using Gimp your the past 3 + years and have never come across this issue until recently. It's not my machine, everything works perfect in Inkscape etc...

I want to be able to tint and tone black & white images (as separate tasks – not with the same image at the same time).
Tinting and toning are not colorizing.
In chemical photo terms, tinting and toning have separate meanings. Tinting a B&W image a desired color is equivalent to looking at that image through a color filter, or printing a B&W image on a solid-color paper. Toning is when the densities of a B&W image are converted to a selected color, with the grey scale varied as concentrations of that color, from white (lightest areas) to full-color (darkest ares).
