can anyone help with how to make a layer mask of the black outline on the attached image? I've followed several guides/videos on how to do layer masks but it's not working for me how I need it to.

Hi everyone,
Somehow my tool box settings got totally messed up, and I can't look at the color pallet with the paint bucket and it's brought my work on a time sensitive job to a halt. I've tried to reset them but I am STUCK. Please help. I would love to meet some GIMP buddies. Thank you.

Hi.
I have to convert using a 46-colour palette. For example, as you can see, I would expect the shades of browns to be converted to the closest shades of browns in the palette but instead everything is flattened into a couple of colours.

I have also attached the rgb values, which although they are very close, the indexing method does not take them into account. Can you explain why the algorithm is not very precise? Or is it possible to set the colour tolerance so that the index is hooked to the closest colour?

Well, I wanted this format for text:
   
so:

1. I tried first in Gimp, with 'TUF'. The result is there, but even with much help from plugins, the procedure was some trial--as this site lacks a 'spoiler' feature, I am attaching a .txt file with the 10 steps it took me get the upper part of the text above. It called for some patience!
   
2. Thus, I tried plan B, and exported the two paths for 'VOYAGING'--path from text and moved copy--to Inkscape. Unfortunately, although the last version includes 2 'text extrusion' (in Extensions and as an experimental LPE) neither worked for me... Therefore, a new exercise in patience--path difference + too many hand deletions and additions, to get here and import to Gimp:

I know how to select a pattern for use with bucket fill, but I cannot find a way to make the tiles larger. The GIMP user manual just mentions it's available, but that's about it. I am unable to find anything addressing this. Is it even possible? 

I did scale the entire layer as a workaround, but surely there's a better way. Is there a plug-in for this?

for example
four images to be combined into one image, at the moment, I do it through 
checking their pixels' dimension, and then creating a big new image, and
then copy and paste onto the new image

It is okay but it is hard to align them nicely with a mouse and 
calculating pixels dimension isn't enjoyable, especially when there are a lot of images to create

is there any wiser way to have a lot of images to be combined into one image?

should be done through GIMP

Hi, i used an old version of Gimp for many many years. I've bought a new pc and i've installed the new version, Gimp 2.10.
I've a question about brushes size. In old version was easy, i took one brush and then resize it with the bar. Now i have to create a new brush for all the sizes i need, it's dramatic. Is there a way to make it faster and simple? Thank you for your time!

I just installed Gimp. When I start it, all I get is a blank screen with a menu bar on top. But the tutorials on Youtube for new users show Gimp starting with many dialogs set up. I understand that these are "Dockable Dialogs" that I can set up.  But:
* Is it normal for Gimp to start with nothing set up?
* Where do I find the main Tool dialog that see in all the tutorials? (with brushes, pens, an eraser, etc.) I can't seem to find that anywhere.

Hi,
I would know if there is an alternative to Adobe Capture for getting color samples and doing color grading.

I would know if an immage satisfy a color scheme (monocrome,analogous,complementary,...)

Thanks
