For a making weird text one can use the 'spacetypegenerator' :
https://spacetypegenerator.com/index.html
One can transform a text with a bunch of sliders and if one is satisfied with the design, one can make a screendump and load it in gimp. (File / Create from clipboard)
To remove the background (if necessary) white or other colors in gimp :  Colours / Colour to Alpha 
By clicking on the 'select button' (top right) one get different generators.
   

The Polar Coordinates Filter sometimes leaves a 1 pixel seam. This often occurs after editing an image which consists of two layers which are merged to one layer. The gap can be avoided by marking the "Map backwards" option. However, this workaround sometimes enforces another correction afterwards. Is there a known approach to handle (i.e. avoid) this 1 pixel seam problem?

I usually use Gimp to clean up photos of miniatures.
Normally i do the following thing drag and drop the photo into gimp, then click colors, levels and then auto.
There done, maybe do a few corrections here and there, but normally that is it.

Well for some reason Gimp won´t do that anymore.
I have tried opening its as administrator, tried to opening it through files, cutting out the relevant part of the photo and copying it the new page, Reinstalling it nothing helps.
Gimp simply treats my picture as if it isn´t there, anyone know how to fix it?

I am running the latest version of Windows 10.

Anyway to mirror a brush in gimp 2.8?

is there maybe a plugin or something to use a brush in a symmetrical way? 
it be great for texture stuff im doing thanks

I want to take a screenshot of an app, but not so that the screenshot can be viewed full size.

I just want to show off the app w/o giving away too many of the details of the controls. And if someone tries to expand the size, it will be unreadable.

I will then post these screenshots on it's website.

Can anyone point to how that might be done?

Hi. I vectorized a picture to get smooth lines but now the picture have some transparent holes. Do you know any way to vectorize a picture without holes please? Thank you so much.

I want to change a colour to black (including all shades). If a part of my picture is red or tan, for example, I want to change it to black (like for a car or T-shirt). 

I've seen tutorials for colour changes using Rotate Colors, but these just handle RGB colours. 

All answers online do not address my issue, or they just assume I'm looking to change my pic to black and white. 

Thank you

Hello,

I need to place a picture of my Mom in a pamphlet, but my cousin has his hand on her shoulder in the photo.

How do I erase his hand from her shoulder?

Thank you

It seems that I unwittingly discovered a keyboard shortcut to destroy all day's work. If that does indeed exist, I would like to know what I did, in order to not do it again by mistake.
I had been working on a B&W image that I converted to color, created many layers, colored the layers, put effects and transparencies, and, then, by reflex, i pressed something like an "Emacs Chord" (I guess it was Ctrl+x, Ctrl+s), while at the same time did something without knowing on the digital tablet. The image restored to the original B & W state, and closed gimp. When I opened it again, all work was gone and the Undo History was empty.
I do not know if the work can be saved (i seem to not know if there is some backup), but I would like to know exactly what I did or what i pressed.
