I have 3 annoying problems with GIMP

1. My text preference is not saving between files -> left side tool box text A -> change to my preference -> preferences -> tool options -> save tool options now 

This doesn't work.. 

2. I would like to have 300 DPI as the default and it is in the 'default image'. However! When I open my pictures it is not. And when I change it to 300 and put on a new layer
(like a scale bar) - it goes back to the old DPI again. Super annoying! It is roughly 72 DPI.

3. My layers (scale bar + sample info) not getting exported with my edited file! Again I have to merge them all to make it work - but then I cant redo anything if I want to. 
This is a new problem for me.

I export in TIF with no compression.

Hope ANYONE can help me. 

I have a deadline

What is the current version?  On the main Gimp site it say 2.10.14.

Something weird is going on here . . . My version says 2.10.16.

I did not update it.  Now the histogram info works again, but the paintbrush can't draw in snapped angles like 45, 90, 135 . . . with the Control key down.

I don't remember running an update.

EDIT.

Nevermind.  Gimp 2.10.16 is coming out today.  I guess the only relevant thing is this post is that preset angles like 45,90,135 ... don't work anymore with the Control key down for the brushes.  2 steps forward and 1 step back, I guess

Hi, I'm looking to add marks that are spaced equally along a path. Is that possible? I've attached an example of what I'm trying to accomplish.
Thanks!

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
