Just getting started with GIMP, sorry for the newbie question LOL.  I can paste an object and initially move it, scale it, etc.  But when I go back and re-select (rectangular selection) that same area for a move it grabs the object but it also grabs the whole canvas.  How can I keep from selecting / moving the canvas?

Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to create a new palette, but keep getting this error message:


Failed to save data:

You have a writable data folder configured (/Users/debrawilcox/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.10/palettes), but this folder does not exist. Please create the folder or fix your configuration in the Preferences dialog's 'Folders' section.

I called AppleCare, but they said it was a GIMP issue. I tried re-installing GIMP, but am still getting the error. Does anyone know what I should do to correct this?

Thank you

Greetings.

I am an old man, not used to do much with programs such as Gimp, but I had someone asking me to create a left-right-left-right moving object, using a GIF file with special effect.
How do I do this?

Been looking on Google for nigh the whole darn day, but nowhere I found, how to make a "KITT Scanner" or, if you prefer, Anamorphic Equalizer, according to Wiki (looked this up, as it might be, I could find a tutorial under this name, alas).

I learned, it are 8 leds moving from end to end and back, looping in a "block style" light per light), and this is what was asked.
However, as I an completely nuts, I want to do something odd: I want to make a a smooth moving abstract animation, since I always have been one to make things a tad personal.

I was thinking something in the line of:

or similar.

Just no idea how to go, beyond loading the GIF/GIFV into Gimp.

Anyone that can help me, or that can point to a good tut?

Thank you very much:

pretty hard to make Minecraft texture packs with this feature enabled, does anyone know how to disable it?

I have a scanned pencil drawing, so it's kind of shades of gray (no, not 50).

How can I make the lines black?

So far I have removed the white background by doing Color to Alpha.

I've tried to adjust Brightness/Contrast and Color Balance That did nothing.

My mouse came with the computer.  It is Cyberpower elite M1-161 gaming which Windows tells me is a Microsoft mouse.  I like the mouse but wonder if there is something better.  One thing I would like would to be able to change the cursor speed on the fly.  Sometimes for fine tuning a selection box for example I would like to slow it down momentarily and then restore to a fast movement.  I don't know what else I am missing.  Is there a more capable or better mouse?  What do the pros use?

Every time I close and open GIMP, the gradients tab goes invisible. I have to use ADD TAB each time to bring it back. Is there any method to make sure that existing tabs do not vanish with the Quit action ? Thanks.

Hi, is it possible to create a .ggr gradient file from an image ? If yes, please tell me how. Thanks.

Hi, I tried using an image in the folder " splashes " but nothing happened. Is it possible to customise the splash screen in Windows 10 ? Thanks.

Hi, is there any method to use this inside GIMP or Inkscape ?
