when I want to edit a layer/slice of an image I sometimes get a dotted window exactly around the part I want to edit and sometimes a window so large that the edges are far out of the screen.
I would always want a window exactly around the part I want to edit.
I don't understand what determines this?

I am using Gfix to create stars.

When I click and drag to size the star it creates multiple stars instead.

On a related note, when I change the number of points; it creates multiple stars in that pattern instead.

If I click and drag quickly and use a very short movement, I can get one star created but they are all then of the same size.

The star points is stuck at a five pointed star right now. 

Any help with this issue? 

Thanks...

Hi, It would be nice to know how to make a text effect like this. I mean, I can simply make the text and use some brush + erase. But how to make / find the right horizontal stroke brush ? Or is it something different from what I am thinking ? Thanks

This brush is useful

I have a pic. It's low resolution and I wonder if I can improve it so you don't see the pixel squares when zooming in. Can this be smoothed out?

Hi, I have just downloaded Gimp 2.10 but when opening the program it is shows squares with numbers inside, instead of letters/text.  I am using a MacBook Air 2020 running MacOS Big Sur 11.4

I presume this is a font issue, how best do I resolve this. 

Thanks

Hi guys. Ive recently started using Gimp to design flyers.
I made a Poster which turned out great, I’m currently designing a timeline banner to go with it, I need to shrink an image to roughly 300x300 pixels so it fits on the banner but every image I use distorts.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I meticulously followed this video. Wrote down every step
https://youtu.be/JW_siMWqnr4
and applied the technique to a couple of B&W.jpg images. Worked fine. Was able to apply skin tones, hair tone  etc as in the video.

Today I try another couple B&Ws. I get as far as ready to paint the first layer (skin tone) but nothing happens. I wipe the brush over the image and it stubbornly stays B&W.

Went over the video again and over my notes. And redid from scratch again. No go.

I then reloaded one of the earlier xcf images that worked before (still unfinished)
Same thing. Paintbrush does nothing.  Newly created palettes make no difference.

I re-installed GIMP just in case. Nope Same dead end. 

Completely baffled!

Hello,
I have a text file with 1,000 names separated by a newline char, I need to grab each name print it on a template, and save the image, I was wondering if there is any script available. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards

Hello i placed the "ofn-path-to-shape"-extension into the folder, where gimp wants it´s plugins to go and used "refresh scripts" under "script fu".
Where is this extension now, that i can use it?

Is it possible to make a part of the image bulge like in a 3D sticker ? Say there is a sword in the image, can we make it bulge out from the rest of the image ? Thanks.
