Hi all. I've been using Gimp (2.8.18/Win8.1, 64-bit) to mark off completed stitches when doing some complex needlework. I set the grid size to match the chart, and use snap to grid to easily fill in with a square brush. This has worked quite well, though if I'm careless, I can pull the brush off course.

I'm beginning a new project, and the brush meanders all over the place, though there are small jaggedy ridges, leading me to believe it's following some other guide I can't find. I've double-checked the settings from the old project to the new, and so far as I see they're the same.

I imported the new chart as a layer into an old page, and the brush works normally over the old image, but fails miserably over the new one. I've attached a screencap. 

The blue section is the completed old work (original chart layer not visible), the white is the new chart, and the colors are on a separate multiply layer. The green lines were put in using the same amt of care (so even when new image is superimposed over it, the old image has some setting the new image lacks). (Layers, top to bottom: Multiply>colors, normal>new chart, normal>old chart.)

Any ideas as to what I'm missing?
Thanks!

2- HOW to make a portable gimp from portable one ( if you have already a portable one and you added your own brushes you made, plugins you prefer etc )  should i just re compress it (*edited part for clarity: so i can transfer or upload it ) . 
and for installed one i just need to change folders path or there other steps.

Hi there,

Is there a way to trigger a script once an action has occurred? I specifically want to run a simple script after the current selected layer has changed (via some user action, filter, etc)

Or perhaps there is another mechanism for this besides plugins?

Thanks in advance for any help

Is there a way to change character sizes in the UI's menus and dialog boxes?

Hello GIMP Forum,

I recently installed the new GIMP 2.0.  One problem I've been encountering is that when you try to paste something and that selection is below a layer that is not transparent, you cannot move the selection.   For example, if I'm trying to paste something and it ends up underneath a drawn block on a higher layer, I cannot move the thing I pasted at all.  Is there any way to fix this?

Hello,
I turn to your community because I am trying to make an advertising banner to decorate a circuit. it is for a use of model making.
I try in vain to fool myself, but I can not! I begin...
I just came to that with the function - filter - rendering - difference cloud -
the problem is that the effect is perfect or the degradation of colors that do not go at all. I'm looking for a tutorial for that.

Luckily I came across a site where we can find flags already made with shading and wind effects. I wish I could do the same on advertisements to make banners myself.




In this picture you can see the use of flags.



I hope I can find help here. Thank you in advance, knowing that on my side, I do not have much to bring you ...

Hi everyone
Not only do I struggle with the more complicated tasks in Gimp but I'm trying to do something ever so simple.

I am trying to put text inside a edited ellipse circle. I have attached a screenshot of my feeble attempt
It seems that the top half of the text is on the large side...I have used the align tool to centre the text but it seems to have failed.
Is there a simple way of doing this.

Thanks

Gimp 2.10.4 running in Ubuntu 18.4

When I change the name of a path the new name appears in a very dark colour that is almost illedgeible on my dark theme.  The original font colour is fine, just the rename.  Is there a way of changing this?  I can't see anything in the prefs or mentioned in the config file.

Thanks

Hello there!

I was searching for two things, but I wasn't able to find it - so maybe you guys can help me out?

Regarding this foto:



Two questions:
1) Do you have an idea with which filter/overlay it's possible to give the image this "retro/used" - look?
2) Do you know the name of the letter/font?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Some old resources from an earlier date, about 2008. A collection of grayscale edge masks, 120 of them, mostly rectangular but some oval. Originally on a site, graphicssoft.about.com, but now long gone.

You can get them from https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=...o7B5yKsnTV  zipped about 8 MB
which also contains two scripts to ease using them sg-copy-mask-from-above.scm & sg-scale-to-selection.scm 
Those come from Saul Goodes site http://chiselapp.com/user/saulgoode/repo...pt-fu/home Put both in your Gimp profile scripts folder.

Works like this:

Open your image then File -> Open as Layers one of the edge masks. They are all quite small 600 x 800 pix and in portrait mode. If your image is in landscape mode, please rotate 90 deg after importing, it helps when scaling.

   

Now go and scale that mask, to the canvas size using the script sg-scale-to-selection.scm No need to make a selection, just use Layer -> Scale to Selection

   

That gets the mask covering the original image. Now use the second script sg-copy-mask-from-above.scm Layer -> Mask -> Copy Mask from Above to add a layer mask to the original image.

   

The Edge mask layer, no longer needed, turn the visibility off and export as a PNG to keep the transparency.

   

What/where would you use such an image, always room on your blog or web page or maybe send it off to print it on a T-Shirt or a coffee cup.
