,
I've been using Gimp for years but lately, I'm trying to learn some of the more complicated bits and make myself less of an idiot. 

So the present project is to build a fantasy map. 
Questions:
1. I'm trying to draw out a city full of houses from a top-down view and I'm looking for an easy way to slap down roof textures that look like they would 'flow' toward the edge of the house. 
- My best solution is to make custom roof-like brushes. I've figured out how to make animated brushes to give me nice 'roof stamps' and I think I can get that to work by taking advantage of the 'angle' property in the brush settings, but is there a quick easy way to bind a hotkey to adjust the angle via mouse scroller? It'd be hectic to pounce back and forth to adjust the angle for every little housetop.
- As said, the 'roof stamp' via animated brushes is my best solution so far, but is there a way to have something more along the lines of the clone tool so that I can seamlessly paint a repeating roof texture onto any sized area?

2. I used animated brushes to make a forest, and that works great as long as I start at the top of the forest and stamp my way down (As the trees from one stamp cover the roots of the previous stamp.) But if I just slap a new tree into my "forest" then I can see the trunk and roots of the tree when they should be hidden behind the top of the lower tree stamp.
Is there a way to take an animated brush and say, for example, "Always put 'this part' behind the layer, and 'this part' on top of the layer."?

3. How about fences, i.e. how do I make the brush that will rotate my 'fence stamp' to follow whatever silly line I draw the fence at?

Thanks a lot!

I m really asking for feature which is colorifing an rgb image with a palette without passing to the destructive Indexed mode
Each rgb pixel search for his nearest  color in the palette than based on the value of a slider (0-1) he will close in to that color, any ideas?

Used Ofnuts' neon-path plugin and gimp's symmetry painting to make this mandala, the path was just the one petal.

   

I have searched around and only found how to union selection on the same layer, how do you do it on different layers without duplicating the layers, if you understand me?   

Im using tiles to create a larger image and overlapping the layers where they match.  Im new to this, so there is probably a better way to do this.  But for now this is it.  After i match up the layers, i want to combine them without the image becoming more opaque/darker where they overlap.  

Thank you

I am trying to make one large gif that has several smaller gifs (6) all playing simultaneously over and over. Is there a way to do this? I currently have all 6 of the gifs I want to use on a background and I can get them to each animate but they are playing one gif at a time. Thanks for any help you can offer!

I am almost brand new to Gimp. I downloaded it at home because I retired and no longer have access to photoshop. I am trying to learn it but I am stuck on layers. I started a file and put two graphics on it, but now I can't work with them independently. To be perfectly honest when i used Photoshop I did not use layers and just kept merging everything. I tried to learn layers but I just could not figure it out. So now I'm stuck on Gimp and I guess I will have to learn layers. --- When I try to put a rectangle around one of my graphics and move it, the whole entire pasteboard moves and I cannot move graphics by themself. Is there a way to not have to use layers? Or is it better that I learn how to do it? -- Also I am bit overwhelmed by all the selections and options. My project is to make a 5.5 inch by 3.5 inch "card" with photos and graphics on it. Thanks. Marty

Hi there ! I'm currently using GIMP to recolor some pokemon sprites and I wanted to know if it's possible to change every specific color present on the image by another, for example, I want all paleturquoise pixels to be turned into dark turquoise pixels without having to change manually the color of each pixel. ? If it's not possible, is it possible to select all pixels of a specific color in the image (actually I'm not talking about that magic wand) so that all paleturquoise pixels are highlighted/selected ?
Thanks in advance !

I found some similar error messages in these forums but not this exact one.  My apology if this has been answered and I didn't find it.   When I export to replace an original image with the manipulated one and I get the message "Could not open (the number of my image file) for writing: Invalid argument".

I have done this thousands of times.  I thought it was the file type which is jpeg.  Reshot it using raw+jpeg and standard.  I tried using some successfully GIMP processed images from a couple weeks ago and got the same message.  This began with a newly downloaded, latest version of GIMP on a fresh install of Windows 7.  I tried installing the same version I had been last using successfully.  Always the same error message.  I'm running a new SSD that doesn't have any problems with the OS or other apps. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,
I really like Super Nova (a filter - light and shadow).
Where can I find similar type filters - (3rd Party?)
Thank you -
