I have this icon that I have downloaded:

Now I want to change the color of the bread to dark blue (#05192d).
In Photoshop I would just double click the layer and click "color" then select the color I wanted.
How can I do this using Gimp?

Hi everyone, When it comes to working with layers, the image editor I've been using for years has the background layer permanently 'locked' so that it can't be moved up and no layers can be moved below it. It doesn't seem that any of GIMP's lock layer options does this. Is there any way to achieve this in GIMP so that it avoids sending a layer to the bottom and then having to move it up one layer to be on the background.

Hi all, I've been meaning to create a new account for a long time - for various reasons, I've decided to abandon my old account(i think i posted once a long time ago). I've been using GIMP for awhile now, It Really Is Great! Anyway, I was planning to post about something else, but stuff keeps getting in the way and it's not done yet, so I thought, since we are on the verge of the End Of The World As We Know It, I'd just like to share a Logo that I made today. I thought it might save people some time.

If anyone can point me to a print on demand that Is FAST, i would appreciate it!

Anyway, here is the gallery(with different sizes): https://imgbox.com/g/RzXw0ZVzrP

and here's the proof i did it in GIMP:

I tried to make it as big as possible and still upload:

Stand With Ukraine!

    I made the attached picture in gimp with 2 clicks with some portrait option, but now i can not find it.

I've installed and configured gimp dozens of times over the past couple years. (fresh, new installs on blank media, not "re-installs")

I've found it to be a real time saver to just copy the gimprc and sessionrc files from an existing install that I'm already happy with, and paste them into the */.config/gimp/2.10 directory on the new installation.   Works quite well. Makes the new install just the way I like it

However. I'm not finding a file that contains the start up defaults for:  Which tool is selected  on start up, which brush is selected on start up, and which pattern is selected on start up.  Easy to change by just making the desired selections and then closing gimp....but I'm just curious which file that info is recorded into as gimp is shut down?

Hi,
How do I turn on menu that will fill my entire left pane ?
I keep see'ing it with lots of options, and icons - in youtube videos. 
But I am missing that. I can't find documentation on this - in Gimp 2.10.30's menu.
I'm on Windows 10.
I even tried to uninstall and reinstalled the latest version.

Best wishes for St. Patrick's day!!

Hi there, I'm very new to GIMP so I'm not sure if it's some setting I need to change but why is 'Show Canvas Boundary' under the View menu greyed out? It's checked on and I can't uncheck to turn it off. Thanks for any help.
   

I bring up a .jpg image, scale it to particular dimensions - in this case 2600 x 3700 px i.e. 9x12 inches @300 dpi and "Export" as .pdf

Once I export it to .pdf at those dimensions shouldn't it retain them? When I bring it up again the preview shows it as 900 x 1200 px 9x12 inches - when the import dialogue box comes up the scale usually shows it as 900x1200 px  9x12 inches. Even if I use the "scale" function again, it does this. 

I might make additional changes and use overwrite - shouldn't that still retain the same dimensions? When I then go to exit the file it always asks if I want to save changes - I assume this is a redundant query because I've already either exported as or used the overwrite function. 

Am I not doing something right?

Hi,

I was wondering if there's an easy way to add a layer of shading to an outline the same way it would be automatically added when drawing with the brush (vs the pencil). I've tried the antialias plugin (doesn't work against a transparent background), the gaussian, tiled and lens blurs and the closest I've come to achieving a similar effect is duplicating the outline twice, then applying a lens blur with a magnitude of 0,5-1 to the upper layer and merging it down, but it's still not really the same effect.

I was playing with the Foreground Select tool some - but by the time I go through the process, then cleaning up the edges of the result it seems it would as fast or faster just to make careful use of the Free Select tool, with more precise control over fine details that Foreground Select will miss. 

Thoughts, experiences, tips/tricks?
