I hope it is acceptable to post this question here, but I am looking for an answer to a problem I cannot find an answer to.

I am not real sure how to describe/explain what it is I am trying to find out how to add a wavy type of thing of a different color inside of my text. 

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'd like to experiment with fill in the color of a line drawing of a brick wall, let's say to a red color. Is there a way to do this without having to color in each brick one at a time? How about changing from one color to another, say red to tan?

Hi all,

As you will see in my attached .xcf file, I have 2 layers. The bottom layer has a landscape photo, while the top layer has an indoors photo with windows. I selected the windows and proceeded to delete them, thinking that the layer below would show through. But it won't! What gives?!!

What am I missing?

Thanks guys

Is there a way to create a repeating series of rectangles that would look like roof tiles or shingles (just a simple outline drawing, no texture)? The idea would be to fill up an outline drawing of a roof staggered with rows of shingles with a thickish line separating each course.

Thanks in advance!

I installed GIMP 2.10.12 and the tool's icons appear empty. Please tell me how to correct this situation. Thanks

I have a 115 page PDF that has regular 20 images per page that I want to split into separate images. 
I can use plugin guides & guillotine to create multiple images from the first page, and export them using export all script. However, is there any way to avoid having to do this individually for all 115 pages - ie: is there a way to automate the process to repeat for each page?
Thanks in advance for any help

On a website I saw some color sandwich text and here is how I made it :

- File / New (400 px X 400 px / transparent layer)
- set color foreground (here blue)
- Text Tool  (here font Ignes et Glacies Sharp Bold / 400 px)
- Type character 'G'
- Filters / Light and Shadow / Long Shadow (lenght 6.0 / angle 45.00 degrees)
- set color foreground (here white)
- Text Tool  (here font Ignes et Glacies Sharp Bold / 400 px)
- Type character 'G'
- Filters / Light and Shadow / Long Shadow (lenght 6.0 / angle 45.00 degrees)
- paste white 'G' over 'blue 'G'
- move blue 'G' 5 pixels down an 5 pixels right
- layer merge down 
- Image / Crop to Content
- Select / All
- Edit / Copy 
- File / New / (500 px X 500 px / transparent layer)
- View / Show Grid
- Paths tool
- make path from one grid intersection to one grid intersection right/down (path is 45 degrees)
- Paintbrush tool (select the 'G' brush, the one you copied) / spacing 6.0 / hardness and force 100.0 / Angle 0.00 / Aspect Ratio 0.00)
- right click mouse / Edit / Stroke Path
- select 'Stroke with a paint tool'
- the blue 'G' front character is disturbed by some white stripes and can be corrected bij selecting the 'G' (fuzzy select) and fill it (here) with blue  (any other suggestions ?)
- done 

   

Is there any method to convert a layer and its contents to grey scale ? I had to turn image > mode > grey scale to achieve that.

Colours > Desaturate > Colour to grey is not working for me. It makes the whole layer white that shades of grey.

The original image had a white background. I chose " select colour " option and then deleted the white. But even then there is some burr of white on the edge as seen in the attached image. Is there any method to avoid it ? It is somewhat better with Magic wand tool, but not perfect.

   

PS : Not visible with white background. Perhaps download the image and see.

Hi everyone. 

I am having trouble with some basic things in gimp. 


I can open two separate images in gimp separately. Then i drag one (it is a photo) on to the other. 
What used to look like a normal or small sized image covers the entirety of the other one. And it seems like a very high resolution. A small piece of the new image covers the entire first image. 
I would think that "scale image" would reform the image to a small size but it changes both images. How can i rescale only one layer or one image??

Also what are the best ways to open up 2 images in two separate layers? 
I can choose "open with" and then select gimp from two images and then try to combine them. 

Is there another way? If i choose "open with layers" and select an image, the images are sizes that don't work together. So, i try to scale the image, but like i said before, both images change sizes instead of just the new one. 
thx. zack
