Hello,

A little dilemma: I am unable to consecutively add to or subtract from a selection using Free Select Tool, although I set the Mode to "Add to current selection" or "Subtract from current selection".

The workaround I use is; I click on a different tool and come back and choose the Free Select Tool, then it lets me to do one more selection (add or subtract). I have to keep going back and forth. 

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

p.s. I don't have the same issue with Rectangle Select Tool or Elipse Select Tool.

Looking for some help here. So I have worked out two things but I am unable to do the two things together. The two things are
1) Add a picture inside text
2) Use Grow function to text to give colour outline

So basically I am trying to take a photo from my kids and put this inside a letter (first letter of their name) and then have that letter outlined in white colour.

When I try to do this I always end up with the letter without the outline or the picture inside or the larger outline text with the picture but then without a border. 

Looking for help and options please. 

ps. i'm a beginner!

I see on the Gimp website, the latest version is 2.10.20, yet for Mac there doesn't seem to be anything higher than 2.10.14

Am I missing this somewhere, or is 2.10.20 for other operating systems?  Doesn't appear to be an updater in the software itself.

thanks

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to achieve this old printer effect described here for photoshop with gimp as I do not own ps and just cannot realize it:
 
https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/...rt-effects
 
Can anybody check whether this can be done with gimp - or is gimp lacking some required features to achieve this? Is it feasable after all? I use gimp 2.10.8 and all I get is my grayscaled picture (background) with overlaying parralel horizontal b/w-lines (layer 1). Like a zebra over a photo. But I cannot realize this certain effect that the lines get thinner or thicker as the gray gets less or more intense and that the two layers seem to blend.
Does anybody have an idea on this?

Thanks very much for your time and effort and sorry for my utter noobiness.

Cheers,
Carla

Hello,

In using dialog "Configure Keyboard Shortcuts" it seems that the "Layers" shortcuts are possibly not working correctly.  Or they could be working for other people, but are not for me.

It seems that no matter which shortcut I try to set and use...

layers-opacity-opaque
layers-opacity-transparent
layers-opacity-increase
layers-opacity-decrease

... the end result is always the same.  The opacity is set to maximum 100%.

If others can replicate this issue then I guess this is a bug report.

Thank You!

I downloaded GIMP 2.10 today.  I have added the plug-ins and exe files to my plug in folder.  I now have access to the heal selection within GIMP; I am still receiving the below error message.

Hello friends,

Sometime I mistakingly think I am editing a top layer that is visible but in fact another layer that is selected (but is not visible) is being edited without me realizing.

in the preferences I have not checked:

"Allow editting on non-visible layers".

Yet this happens.

could someone explain what I am doing wrong?

Thx

I think I am making some mistake in understanding brushes. Currently, I am only able to stamp them. If I tried to make a contour using a brush shape, it simply repeats as a merged array as seen in the screenshot

   

I am using the following brushes. I will be nice to know how to paint using it rather than use it as pre-made stamps. Thanks

I have gimp 2.8 and everytime I try to use the plugin superblade pro 1.95 in gimp I get this:
the letter is L and even when I hit apply it doesn't work what am I doing wrong. I have the marching ants around it. I have tried float and defloat to no advail. I even tried 1.80 and still not working. Thanks in advance for any help y'all can give

I'm using Gimp to do spritesheets, and I'd love a way to move a selection by a given number of pixels along an axis; E.G. 256px to the right on the x-axis. I can't do this visually, because the layers have transparency, the selections I'm working with don't line up the same way with the guides. The resolution is too high to just spam the arrow keys. I haven't found anything obvious in the documentation or the various tool options in Gimp.

My current workaround is to fill a rectangular selection around the sprite with cyan and line it up visually, but that's really clunky. Surely there's a better way?
