Can anyone give me information about the two colors in the color selection dialog box. If I load the original picture with the green there is no problem. When I start a new picture (here white BG) and want to work with the green color the result on my drawing is grey. I searched on the internet but found nothing about this. 
Thanks for the answer in advance.

     

Problem solved, I don't know how but I was working in grayscale mode and it must be RGB   :

Image / Mode / RGB

I am trying to make my text follow a path I've created. I'm in the text layer and have a path created. When I right click on the text, Text to Path, is not highlighted. Why?

Hi I post it here because I can't post in gimp 2.10
I'm a newbie.
I open a new project
I draw a circle in it.
I fill this with a pattern ,everything ok.
Now I open a picture of let say a cross(downloaded from the internet.
I fill with a pattern but the filling is now black and white.
What do I wrong?

Kind regards

When I try to draw a selection box on the image it says "Cannot subtract from an empty selection."
Why is that and how do I make it stop?

Hi

Loaded a tiff image whose original size was 3914 x 5871 pixels (portrait mode). It appears in Gimp as a tiny image 168 × 252 pixels! When I try to scale it it loses quality which I cannot recover through any of the interpolation quality options. I must be doing something wrong when I load it! Any suggestions gratefully received!

It is possible to render the available fonts in Gimp to a file as a 'preview' or permanent record.

(1) Right click in the Fonts dock and select Render Fonts Map
(2) The default is a list of 'Sans' Type fonts
(3) One per layer in the image

   

(4) Leave the filter blank for all the Gimp fonts. Expect a very long listing
(5) ..or a specific style, bold / italic....
(6) A specific font, your text / font size / colour

   

Hi all,newbie here. Searched for an answer but quickly became overwhelmed. I took a night lapse that came out ok but I would like to increase the contrast of all the photos before compiling them into a video. I have Elements 2.0 (yeah I'm a dinosaur) but don't want to do several hundred photos one at a time.  Just downloaded Gimp 2.10.14.  Can I do it? and how?  Thanks

I was able to change fonts size, but on one text box it doesn't seem to work. I'm on the correct layer. The other text boxes have the same font as this one so it isn't the style being defective or anything. Any reason why it'd do this?

I'm having to click it each time to test out the look of it, just wondering if there's a way around it to preview without clicking

I'm trying to restore a photo for a friend, and have come across a difficult area. I have attatched two images. In image one, part of the original, the arm, and the hand, are faded or damaged. In image Two, I have tried to repair the damage, but I am having trouble reproducing the darker areas at the bottom of the arm/hand. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
