I'm trying to design my own smart watch faces, for my watch, which I've done before, by copying images, and editing them. I've found a png watch face I want to use, but on the background I'm using, it doesn't stand out very well, so I want to add a glowing effect to the image. Can this be done? I've seen tutorials, on creating text, and giving it a glow, but this image is already created.

   
I've been experimenting with coloring a line drawing. A made a quick sample shingle roof, imported it as a TIF into Gimp. The lines were pretty gray so I needed them darker. Erode didn't give me the results I wanted so, I used Select By Color and darkened the lines. I wanted to color in the tiles individually so I took a small sample, colored it all  a darker gray color with the intention of returning to make a few of the shingles a lighter value. But adding the color had the effect of "erasing" the lines defining the individual shingles so when I tried to color a single tile the lighter color the whole thing turned the lighter color.

How can I set this up to keep the line art and color individual shingles?

Hi,
I use kubuntu 20.04 and Gimp 2.10.18 packed from distro.
GIMP interface is in English, and I don't see the choice to change it another than en_US. I have system language in Catalan.
Could you help me, please?
Thank you

I copied one image to be pasted into another image. In the existing image I selected the area where the copied image should go, hit "paste into Selection" and get a blank field the size of the copied image surrounded by marching ants. But no copied imaged image. I cleared any possible remnant selections with "select none" on both images and tried again. Same result.

Any ideas?

Hello Everyone,

First post.  I'm using the GIMP 2.10.14 on macOS Sierra.  I'm not sure if it's worth the effort, but I'm trying to create a script to perform 3 or 4 menu functions on a PNG file once I've opened it.  I have a LOT of files to process, but I'd prefer not to use any sort of batch mode.  I need to see each file to make sure it doesn't need any additional work.

Below are the commands I need to script and the Script-Fu procedures I think I could use.


Brightness-Contrast

• Been using Colors, Brightness-Contrast...
  
• Found (gimp-drawable-brightness-contrast drawable brightness contrast)
  

• Been using Colors, Posterize...
  
• Found (gimp-drawable-posterize drawable levels)
  

The paint brush will not change to selected color, even though Image>Mode>RGB is selected.

Any ideas?

He's got the look :

Hi,
I am happy with the new arrangement of the GIMP toolbox and the grouping of tools.
However, my toolbox has started disappearing almost completely. This is nothing to do with docked dialogs not being displayed or the Ctrl+B key shortcut.
Screenshot of barely visible tools

This view shows a sliver of tools just visible but not usable. When I switch off the Use Toolbox groups checkbox in the Preferences\Toolbox dialog the tools do appear, but I like them grouped.
I am currently teaching a group of people online and I want to present a consistent view for all.
Is there a fix for this problem?
Thank you in hope!

Good morning, just want to find out if there is a way to make a 24Hour dial at 454x454. Start at 1 and end at 24.
I did search but could not find info on it.

Hi, I don't have much experience trying to illustrate in GIMP. I'm trying to make a simple logo for my mom's small painting business. I attached a photo to show the issue I'm having - on the very left is an image I saw on Google - they made paint streaks look like the letter 'T', I'm trying to do the same thing with the letter, "J". My "corners" aren't turning out as rounded as I'd like, you can see the angles in the turns.


HOW I ATTEMPTED TO DO IT:
If you look to the right, those are 3 different attempts - I tried to do it by creating different transparent layers, taking the rectangle select tool and then rounding the edges, making 8 layers and filling the alternating layers with white/black and growing the layers by 6 pixels each time. Am is my resolution too low and I should just be working bigger? 6 pixels doesn't seem like a lot, so maybe I'm working too small - but maybe there's a better way to do it overall. Thank you
