creating a path which is actually following a long convoluted trail through an image of a large stretch of bushland.

Instructions don't mention how to stop doing it.  Just pick another tool?

They don't mention how to keep it - just happens automatically when I save the image?

Doesn't make clear to me if I must convert to a selection. ?

Not sure if I have to 'stroke' it ?

Can I come back to it and edit it next time - continue it as one path or does it get 'frozen' once 'stroked' etc ?

p.s.
And if I can step back to a most primitive basic question:

I always immediately make a copy layer in the belief that this way I'm ensuring I'll no way damage my original image.
Is this a bit daft?  Would I get just as much protection if I immediately simply save the image with a new name?

But anyway, having done it, created a copy layer to work on I'm always thinking I should then delete that original layer and then I'm safe, all connection with my original now broken.  Is that equally daft?

p.p.s. I suppose there's no way to get back a path that disappeared?

I couldn't find how to end the making of a path no matter where I looked. In the finish I read something that suggested double clicking on the last node would do it. So I did that. All seemed peaceful. So then I selected the move tool.
The path immediately disappeared and wouldn't come back.

That was a good half hour's work. How to use the path tool? Including 'stop using' the path tool?

I need to change blue lines in orange lines in red box in the picture

How can I do?

Thank You

Is there a way to make a new brush with different images in it, like numbers 2 and 0 and some images in it

I want to draw a wavy border "rolling-hill" background. Specifically this is for flyers/business cards.

I think I see how I could do that by just drawing a line, and connecting the nodes, but is there any way I can do that by starting with a rectangle and skewing the top line of the rectangle?

Is there a tutorial do do the following with a image.

Hey Gimp fam,

Hope yall are doing great. I am working on adding a polaroid effect to a set of pictures I took similar to the one below.

However, I would like to change the text on the side of the borders "KODAK PORTRA..." to my artist handle "VISUALS BY RICH" while still maintaining the font, glow, etc.

Can y'all please give me the steps on how to do this.

Thanks and happy Vday, my heart goes out to all of you

I tried to post this before bit it didn't go through, so if it shows up twice I apologize!

Somehow I deleted an section of my work area (new document) and I'm trying to find a way to restore it. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Newbie here.

Just started using Gimp after loosing use of old PS program and am trying to enlarge a 35mm B/W negative that was scanned in from a 600 dpi Canon.  I know, it's a cheapie but that's all I have.

Have not been able (so far) to figure out the 'canvas size' and 'image size' in order to enlarge it to at least 4" x 6", 5" x 7" or 8" x 10".

Also having trouble adjusting levels/curves/etc. to get the image looking better.

Thank you in advance and I feel sure I'll be back with more questions.

I have an old laptop that I am using gimp on
When I open Gimp, I can see everything,
 but when I open filters/render and a py file, the window of this screen is to big, is there a way to see the full window
