When I have an image with a single layer and I use the 'Rectangle Select Tool' to select an area of an image, then use the 'Bucket Fill Tool' to fill the selected area with a color, everything works fine.
However, if I add a new layer (using all default values), make sure the new layer is the active layer, then use the 'Rectangle Select Tool', and 'Bucket Fill Tool', the selected area does not fill with the color. I'm using GIMP 2.10 on Windows 10.
Am I missing a step?

Hi guys, is it possible to make linear histogram more visible? Because as it is, for larger images, I cannot use it at all, but logarithmic only. Am I missing something here?

I just have no working 'Mono Mixer' (Colours / Desaturate / Mono Mixer) on my PC with windows 10 / gimp 2.10.14. / picture RGB. A few minutes ago it was working. I restarted Gimp, no working Mono Mixer. I restarted the computer, no working mono mixer.

Any suggestions ?  Thanks in advance.

I've used CCleaner to clean the windows 10 register and the disk cleaner, restarted the computer and the 'Mono Mixer' is working again. Solved.

I find suddenly that I am unable to get my brush tool to snap to an angle with ctrl+shift. Is there a setting that may have been changed while I was unaware? The tip still says I should be able to do it, but I cannot. Shift to draw a straight line is still functional. What am I missing?

Also(while I'm here), somehow my tools got grouped up instead of being displayed individually in the toolbox. It's not the end of the world, but is kind of awful. Is there any way to change it back?

Thanks for any help!

I've resized an image to add some space to the bottom of it. When I do that what happens is that I get the added space as 'transparent.' i.e. it shows up as that checkerboard pattern which means that its transparent. If it helps, my foreground color is white.

My problem is that I can't seem to be able to do anything with the added space. I want to copy/duplicate the area above it into it. I've selected it with the rectangle tool and then run the Heal Selection tool on it. No results. I've selected it with the rectangle tool and tried to fill it with the foreground color (white). Again no results.

Obviously I'm missing some step here which will let me work in the added area at the bottom of the picture.

TIA,

Jim

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?
