I'm a pure beginner. I just wanted to change perspective of part of bitmap image. I did, then I took a screenshot of the image and pasted it where I wanted it (in a different editor). I think it came out smaller dimensionally than it should have. Parts of it, that were supposed to be smooth curves or pretty straight lines were way too jagged. Any tips? Does Gimp use a lossier than necessary algorithm? Do I have to be sure to use the minimum number of perspective adjustments or are things calculated from the original image rather than the most recent lossy adjusted images?

I need help with re-creating the situation where I can use a brush to add/remove/refine the background pixels after a foreground selection. When I choose brush, I can only brush colors. When I (re-)choose foreground selection, I can see this lasso and can make a selection but I cannot get the magical brush back that can feather the edges and add/remove background. What am I doing wrong. Three hours, I am sorry for this stupid questions, totally stuck.

How would I go about getting my image to be half transparent instead of half image and half white?

I tried applying layer mask to the image layer, and then using the gradient tool but it does half image half white... Where I'd like to to be half glitter and half transparent...

When I applied the layer mask, I chose the black (full transparency) option...

What am I doing wrong to achieve what I'm trying to do?

Thanks for any help.

Rich, in

https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Roundi...6#pid23626

you mention an old compiled plugin "smooth-path". It may be the same you mention in

http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=17335#p238015

but that link gave me "File not found". Could you please attach it here or give a working link? I am making a plugin of my own and would just want to do some comparison, so if it is difficult please just forget this.

I really need help with this problem.

I have two Paths see attach files, I just cannot get them it be in the center at all, is there a way to get the lined in center.

I am a mid-newbie when it comes to gimp.
I want to make several of the buttons with the instructions from the link above  in various colors , shapes (Rectangles or squares) with different patterns as needed.  I would like to make the button once in some kind of a script so when I wanted a different pattern or color, I could edit the script with colors and/or patterns and it would create a new button for me.  Or am I making the process too simplistic and it can’t be done.
Please,point me in the right direction.  Thanks!

Hello

I am trying to edit a label

I failed to find a option to bend the letters in a way that it looks realistic, on this (already) bend label/sticker.

I have tried the filter>distorts>bend-option but this destroys the proportions / height of the letters to badly.

I hope anyone has a good solution

i have made a screenshot to show my issue a little better:

thanks !

Novice user here.  The paint brush lines used to be fairly smooth with minimal blurring. Now they are sharp & jagged.  I have no clue how to return to the smoother lines.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Whilst saving a file I worked on the programme crashed and now won't re-open the file saying it is corrupt? Does anyone know how to rescue this situation - 20 hours work on file involved. Can attach file if necessary. Won't open in any other programme either.

Since the latest update, changing the font doesn't work except in English. 
I was able to change it to select a font from Filter at the right sidebar and it doesn't work any longer. 
Hope it will be fixed in the next update. 
Thank you!
