  Even drawing a rotated ellipse is so difficult for beginner!
Posted by: kenny1999 - 08-23-2019, 06:09 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I wish to draw a rotated ellipse, on top of the picture of a wrist, as shown below.
I am able to figure out how to draw an ellipse and rotate it, but the inner area
of the ellipse is white and would hide the hand.

Below is an illustration of what I want,it's hand-drawn, but I need a perfect 
rotate ellipse.

Please step by step or highlight the key step for me and I figure out the details, I am so frustrated as an amateur beginner of GIMP

  Gimp started giving trouble drawing straight lines (solved)
Posted by: StrobeWylan - 08-21-2019, 03:17 AM - Forum: Older Gimp versions (2.8, 2.6....) - Replies (7)

I am using Gimp 2.8.10 on Xubuntu. Been working on drawings regarding a garage I'm building. Drawing a lot of straight lines by using the shift key. It's been working fine for days. I don't know what I did but now It puts a mild sawtooth pattern on every line. I've read everything I could find with Google but found nothing. Please help and thank you in advance.

BTW: Been using Gimp for years for all sorts of stuff. Great software! This is the first major problem I've had and of course it happened when I'm in a hurry.

  How to update and extend Gimp 2.10.10
Posted by: Gjmpw - 08-21-2019, 01:45 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (3)

I’m using Gimp 2.10.10 in Windows 10.

Now the last version is 2.10.12,so I have to update.

I’m a beginner and would like to enrich Gimp with “Resynthesizer” and watercolor brushes,for example.

Can anyone tell me where I can find extensions for Gimp? with some descriptions, because
I did several searches but I didn’t find much

I read that "Registry" existed long ago, but it no longer exists.

I found G'MIC, but I don't know what it contains.

Someone recommended Partha's version to me, but I don’t know what it contains and I read the "Installation instructions" and I have doubts.

For example:

  1. Do I need to uninstall the .10 version before installing the latest .12?
  2. The computer can ask me for the administrator's password, I don't know where to find it
  3. Delete all the Gimp references from the registry, I don't know how to do
  4. Use Windows to associate this version with the desired image formats, I wouldn't know how to do it.
Please, someone can help me clarify my doubts and suggest a way to enrich Gimp 2.10.12

Thank you

  Simple question.
Posted by: dlcooper52 - 08-19-2019, 07:57 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I'm trying to learn Gimp as a tyro.  I was perfectly satisfied with Microsoft Digital Image Suite, though it was soon discontinued and unsupported.   Finally, it became non-functional with WIN 10, forcing me to find a new app.  

Gimp looks good but all such powerful apps seem intimidating at first, with all that web of choices.  Extended hands-on learning can't be averted.

You can't get more basic or naive than I in my struggles to yet perform some simple Gimp operations.  For example, having made, say, a "rectangle select" area, how do I complete the operation and move on? The keyboard Enter key seems most intuitive but NO!  Left mouse key, NO.  Right mouse key, NO.  There it sits, selected.....and essentially useless.  How humbling!  So please be kind in any instruction.  I'm an 86-year-old retired engineer who is unused to accepting advice from young whippersnappers, regardless of how keen they may be.  They need to pay their "dues". 

--seeking info but moreover, wisdom

  Hey guys, brushes aren't straight anymore! (SOLVED)
Posted by: kelsmthom - 08-18-2019, 12:16 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hey everyone, I hope everyone is well. 

I have a quick question regarding brushes, I downloaded Gimp 2.10 several days ago and have to say that the programme is actually great however my brushes are no longer applying straight, they were fine before but now when I try to use them they paint at angles and move around alot. 

For example, I do pixel art; a few days ago I could just click several times and have several squares come up, now if I do that the brush goes at all types of angles sometimes doing diamonds, other times crosses, it's super strange.

I have reset the brushes, the angle is at 00.00, it's set to normal. I'm not sure what to do?

Many thanks!

Photo How can I maximize resolution with my paintstrokes?

For this image, I am trying to make strokes that are such so that similar to the tatooes you see on this model, they are as detailed as possible. However when I try to ad such detail myself, there is often a lot of pixilation. I was wondering what might be the best brush or pencil settings to manage such a task?
