  Newbie: Creating Arrows & Boxes, Merging Images
Posted by: jdanniel - 11-07-2020, 02:18 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

Hello, everyone.  I am a total, complete, absolute GIMP newbie, and just installed 2.10.22 on Windows 10 64-bit.

There isn’t much I do with graphics.  I know how to do a few things with paint.net, and now want to learn how to do those things with GIMP.

I’d like to learn how to create arrows with different colors and thicknesses, as well as boxes.  I also want to learn how to attach two different images together into one.  I can do both of these things with paint.net, but now it’s time to learn how to do them with GIMP.

I’ve attached a sample image of what I want to do.  I was hoping someone might be able to direct me to tutorials that show how to do this.  I’m sure creating arrows and boxes are pretty simple, but I’m still trying to get familiar with the interface.  A tutorial or video that demonstrates these things would be great.


Thank you very much!  J. Danniel

  'Image -> Guides' not available
Posted by: silverAvion - 11-06-2020, 05:49 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I've got 2.10.20 installed on Win7 64-bit laptop.  Was following along with a typically great 'Davies Media Design' Youtube tutorial when he selected 'Image/Guides/New Guide (by percent)'.  That's when I realized I do not have a 'Guides' selection on my 'Image' menu.  I installed 2.10.22 but it is the same.  Made sure 'View/Show Guides' was checked in case the menu item was dependent on it, no change.

Thoughts?

  Resize canvas while working
Posted by: meetdilip - 11-05-2020, 03:46 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Today I was making a digital notice. The work I did took the whole scene because I was using a wallpaper as base/background. At one point, I could no longer add text inside the background/canvas and would happily wish for some extra space at top or bottom. I remember reading somewhere that we can resize canvas in GIMP. But I am not sure whether it is possible in 2.10.20 and while we are already working full canvas. Any help on this will be great.

Make paths, name path where the first path have to 'walk' : walk
   
After running the script and merge the visible paths
   
Stroke the path and use (here) a black background

Hi Team,

Is there any option to apply the Inverse selection (i.e selecting partial/particular portion of the full page image) in the Gimp application?

Appreciate your valuable response in advance.

Thanks,

  Blend mode to colour?
Posted by: Pemican72 - 11-02-2020, 10:02 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hey Everyone

http://www.fantasticmaps.com/2015/02/how-to-draw-a-map/ - Jonothan Roberts

I'm trying to follow this terrific guide but get caught at the Lay in the basic colours step.

I can't post pictures but where he goes from brown landscape to green I can, with overlay layers or brushes, only get deeper shadows and I can't find an option to set the blend mode to colour?

He is using PS but he say's you can achieve the same effects in Gimp. 

Can anyone help out? much appreciated for any feedback

Thanks
Nick

  Gif editing
Posted by: Firetail - 11-02-2020, 10:01 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi, I've been wanting to edit this gif to remove the M AGA on the blankets so it's just a basic red blanket, and I was wondering if there is an easier way to do this other than going frame by frame editing out each pixel? Is there a tutorial or perhaps something I can search to find what I'm looking for?
Thank you for reading.
