Hi, 

I am not a graphics designer, but using Gimp for some small fixes. 

Attached is the drape image of bed linen, with pillows covers being of a different design than the bedsheet. 

I need to now change the pillow cover design make it the same as the bedsheet design. Meanwhile, need to retain the shape of the pillow covers. 

Would greatly appreciate if someone can advise how to copy and paste selection from the bedsheet on the pillow covers, and still retain the shape.

Hello quick question has anyone come across any tuts where its in written down form and not yt videos as i find it easier to follow from writing and pics

thanks in advance

I go to Select>None yet it doesn't deselect the path whichever path it's on from the paths panel. I even tried going to layers and seeing if making all of them not visible would deselect the path, but even with the layers not visible the path is still selected!! How do I deselect the path. Thanks

It's not like I can edit the anchor bc there iss no anchor to where it's going to! What went wrong?

Hello!
I have managed to put together a Gimp plugin (attached) to change font styles
a. the font itself
b. increase/decrease: font size, letter spacing and line height (separately)
c. the font color to foreground color
to apply inside: active group, active group & subgroups, or whole image.

I find it especially useful for treatment of files with a lot of text layers (maps, diagrams)  after scaling the whole image. With a hitch: the plugin works only on text layers, and that property disappears on scaling, to be restored only by clicking on the layer with the text tool and accepting 'edit'--somewhat uphill when you have 20+ text layers.
Now, my question is: can there be some way to restore the text to editable from a plugin? (It will be on the wrong font size and requiring further adjustments, but one can always work on a copy.)
After much digging, I have found that those former text layers return on

Hello,

I am using Python 3 to edit some images successfully using PIL, but there are things that I'm unable to do with it and was hoping to call gimp from python for those specific tasks.

What I'm currently manually doing in GIMP and need to automate is:
1. Open Image
2. Select by color
3. Shrink selection
4. Select > To path
5. Export path.. [as svg] (accessing the svg information without saving the file would also work)

From what little I could see in the python console inside GIMP the following procedures can be scripted that seem to match the above requirements, though I wouldn't know how to do so yet:
1. file-png-load
2. gimp-image-select-color
3. gimp-selection-shrink
4. plug-in-sel2path
5. Can't find any.


What would be the best way to automate this process from the command line?

Thank you,
Nick

Hello  
After I conclude making the box,  is there a way to move all the squares I want before it starts changing ?
When I move one square at a time,  it takes a long time to change..... when you wait for each  -  one at a time.  If I move 6 squares,  that is a long time.

Hello folks,

I have been using GIMP on and off mainly for photo editing. My next task is to explore creating designs using mainly shapes such as directional arrows similar to below image.

Having experimented with pasting into a blank canvas, the options available seems fairly limited "the selection has no editable parameters" is often encountered, really what I would like to know is this a good tool to use or would I be better learning say a vector based program and go from there?

Thank you
