I am a newbie with GIMP 2.10.12
I am trying to remove the distortion introduced by glasses
I have come across this tutorial for photoshop
Basically the way I understand it:
1. Load image on layer 1
2. Select area inside eyeglass
3. Paste in new layer 2
4. Add layer mask to layer 2
5. Stretch image on layer 2. Layer mask should "restrict" the visible area to the original glass area

Well I am not getting it to work. Sorry I am pretty sure this is basic
When I stretch the image the layer mask is not covering anything. Appreciate any assistance...

Hi there, haven't posted anything for a while. Can someone please help me. I can't seem to toggle the layers up and down so i can put thing in front or behind in the work area.

I have installed Ubuntu18.04LTS subsystem in Win10. Gimp are also installed and updated.


the gimp error messgaes:
(1) when I open gimp with the code: "export DISPALY=:0.0, gimp", an error message will be shown in the Ubuntu terminal, as shown in the below,

Failed to execute child process “dbus-launch” (No such file or directory)
(gimp:1109): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 10:18:49.757: g_object_set_is_valid_property: object class 'GeglConfig' has no property named 'cache-size'
/usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message

(2) when I would like to read a image(gimp can not open .eps, .jpeg, but can open PDF file ) with gimp, a gimp message will appear as the following,
Opening '/home/qixycn/P1structure.eps' failed:
Permission denied

I truely hope someone can help me solve these problems. It has troubles me about a week. I'm so frustrated. Thank you in advance.

My own take on luminosity masks. While it pays its dues to PatDavid's canonical tutorial on the subject, it creates the same masks using a different and (hopefully) more efficient method that allows:

• to create a luminosity selection from the current layer in one single click (or one keystroke if you defined shortcuts)
  
• in a future version, to define your own masks

I've created a PDF portfolio using Gimp 2.10, but when I open the PDF in Acrobat, the fonts are all messed up. How can I fix it?

I am trying to make a template. 

I need a canvas of 2.6875" x 3.21875", I nailed it no problem

But then I need a box the creates a border that is 39" thick or 2.2975" x 2.82875"

I can not seem to define this box by these measurements.

Any help is appreciated and apologize for the simple question.

I have a minor problem. I have a group photograph that I'd like to frame. Unfortunately the photograph is in different proportions to the frame (It's wider in proportion to the height). In normal circumstances, I could crop to the correct proportion, but that would mean losing the people to the sides of the picture. Framing, as, is leaves an ugly band at top and bottom of the picture. In this case, a simple change is possible and easy, in principle. The foreground of the picture is grass. If I could add a blank area to the bottom of the picture, I could use the clone tool to extend the grass to the new bottom of the picture. It's sufficiently amorphous and out of focus, to add without any distinct addition. I've searched the manual, without success. I've a number of pictures which could be improved by such a solution, or variations of a solution.
Cheers

BTW, this is my first post to this forum, so, apologies in advance, if I've not done it 'by the book'

   I have an image in Gimp, that has a layer mask made from a selection I made that is also stored as a channel. I want to use a transform action, (perspective transform),  on that image and to also apply it to the layer mask. When I do this it doesn't transform the layer mask. So, how do I do perspective transform on the image and its mask, (or selection) at the same time?
