Hi everyone i am learning gimp (2.10.18 Linux version) usage and i have found several tutorials for the basics but not for more complex tasks. For example i have an image A which have car parked on a street and i have another image B which shows a blue caribbean sea. Let's say i select the car from the image A and want to use that car to select and cut or copy a car shaped caribbean sea and copy it in the image A instead of the car so that where originally was the car it would be a sea with the shape of that car. Is there any way to do that? Thanks in advance

My align tools are greyed out and don't do anything when I click them(see image in link). Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

Hi!

I am a GIMP newbie.

I was able to create an outline of the text "A" by using "Select>grow" command as shown in my attempt here. The red A is the grown 'A' and is on one separate layer and 'thin' black/original 'A' is on another layer. The red 'A'  layer is below the black 'A' layer. 

However, what I want is the subtraction of the grown text and actual text. In other words, I just need the outline and want the black 'A' region to become transparent. So I am looking for some kind of boolean operation of these two layers. 

Is there a way to do it? I would appreciate if you can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

"New Brush Message

Error while executing script-fu-paste-as-brush:

Error: Procedure execution of file-gbr-save failed: Running procedure 'file-gbr-save-internal' failed: execution error"

I use a macbook air.

Could someone help me? Thanks so much.

I want to extract some figures from a photo and edit it. Want to fill the selection but it adds a thick border to it.
Soft edges are reduced to 0 pixels. If i add some 50 pixels it extends the border. 
How can i fill the selection only up to the selection line?
I am new to GIMP, please help, it is so annoying that i cant proceed.

I've been using an old Gimp for ages and just upgraded to 2.10.18.

My cursor will close out things but will not allow me to click on for example, When I'm in Preferences and I chose which theme I want it lets me do that. But when I click on "OK" to save it, it does nothing. It lets me X out and close things but won't allow me to save my preferences.
Any idea as to why? Thank you.

Does anyone know if it is possible to create paths from guide lines? Thanks for you help!
