Greetings folks--
When I cut out something from a picture, say a person, I want to feather the edges so it looks a little more natural.  Does anyone have any idea how to do that?  Currently I am using a path to do the cut, although I would be open to other suggestions.
Thanks in advance for you help.

as you can see my quick mask can't select parts of the image properly. Any ideas?

I use GIMP 2.10.18.
I want to export an .xcf file project (for a brochure) so that the content in each layer group is combined onto a single PDF page. That way the entire project will become a multi-page PDF document ready for download and printing from a commercial website.

Using the current functionalities I can only export to a PDF with only the topmost layer-group shown on it.
On GIMP I can hide the topmost layer-group content and then I see the page underneath shown on the main GIMP window. But whenever I try exporting that single page to PDF, all I get is a PDF with the topmost page alone in it.

How should I configure things so that I can get each layer-group to become a single page in a PDF file ?

A quick jigsaw animation I did with some existing scripts

1. Create a jigsaw pattern apth with ofn-jigsaw
   
2. Edit>Stroke path on a transparent layer (4px width minimum)
   
3. Layer>Transparency>Alpha to selection then discard the layer
   
4. Move to the image layer, and [Delete] t make the jigsaw transparent
   
5. Extract the pieces to layers with ofn-extract-objects
   
6. Add a background, export to animated GIF (all layers to Combine) and serve hot
   

   

Hi 
I am very new to GIMP. I have followed a tutorial to create a jigsaw in GIMP. I have completed the jigsaw and now would like to export it into Articulate 360. 

My goal is that as the learners complete sections they uncover puzzle pieces and at the end of the course they get to complete the puzzle. Please can you advise how I export my jigsaw out of GIMP. Is there a particuar format I need to use?

Thank you 

Kerry

Anyone know the purpose of this chainlink on the right of the Direction choices?

   

I had a problem with a technical drawing, it was slightly distorted. The straight lines are not perpendicular. Using the gimp transform tools in combination with guides gives a good result but was a little complicated. Then I remembered a had the 'Align to path' (ob-align.py) plugin. https://www.gimp-forum.net/attachment.php?aid=275
Creating two u-formed paths (blue and red on the images), placing guides and using the plugin corrected the drawing. I've drew the U-forms from left to right and chose a reference point left below the u-forms. A simple example shows how it works :

distorted :     
   

corrected :
   

PS: if the drawing is dimensioned, then one can use guides and rulers to get a correct ratio.

Ok hopefully this is posted in the correct section. Anyways... if you use RPG Maker MV and you use those
cool virbrato sideview battlers for your project... you probably already have some cool action sequence skills
made up. If you're having problems that i had as seen in this tutorial making your sideview actor motions last
long enough during the animation... then hopefully this helps. As seen is this video the actor shooting motion
stops during the beam attack. You might have ran into a similar issue and that's what i hope to help fix. This tutorial is for RPG Maker MV users so be sure to share this if you know anyone who needs help with
looping their sideview actor motions when using skills. Thanks for checking out this post

I'm trying to self-taught about writing a script-fu script in GIMP and trying to create a simple script, a "New image". When I'm trying to run it it will give me the error "Not enough arguments". What am I missing? Thank you in advanced.
