Is there a way to bring back the old color dialog?

I find it really dumb that I have to switch tabs just to adjust rgb and hex values.

here is what I am talking about

Hi, what is the best way to add watermark to logos and banners ? I would like to add the text " meetdilip " while supplying demo copies. It would be nice to make sure that the art work does not loose its attraction either.

Making a seamless pattern in Gimp 2.10 is a little easier now using symmetry painting.

Examples top to bottom: 1 - 2 -3

   

1. It is worth making a template xcf file. This one for a 400 x 400 pix tile, make a 3 x3 canvas ( ie. 1200 x 1200 pix) with some guides. Add a 'window' overlay if you want. Set the symmetry painting offsets to the tile size 400 for this one. 

 2. No need to use the mosaic filter if you can paint in the shapes yourself, just make sure the lines connect.  I made a temporary layer, filled with solid-noise, to give the shapes
 
 3. Painted over to create the seamless pattern (joints) taking care at the edges.

Examples top to bottom 4 -5 -6
 
   
 
 4. Adding some shape and another 'working'  layer. A selection inside the borders and a gradient fill in one of the shaped modes. Then merged with the pattern layer.
 
 5. Duplicated the pattern layer for a bumpmap. Added some RGB noise to try and give some texture. Gaussian blurred it.
 
 6. Bump Mapped the pattern layer against the blurred copy layer.
 
 Select, copy, paste as a new image for the tile...and it is still seamless as: 

   

I don't know if this happens to anybody else, but when I try to draw or hold my drawing pencil a circle appears on screen. The circle fills up, and a bar comes up. I think it's called an Image Menu, but it has options that you can click. However, I don't really need this. Is this because of the type of drawing pencil I have, or is it just a part of GIMP? And if so, can I disable it somehow?

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
 

I am so confused I have looked at random help things online but I can't figure it out. I am trying to add layers that are different dimensions into my project and have them not get cropped into the first layer size or have a large white background if the picture is smaller than the first image layer size. how the heck can I just have different dimensioned / sized layers please help im so confused I dont know if anyohne is going to see this or rspond in a dtimely manner but fingers crossed I guess thank you!

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?

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.

Found this in the gimplearn forum, found it nice and tried it out (and want to share the link): https://gimplearn.net/viewtopic.php/GIMP...f=3&t=2745
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,
