So I was watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kPpfLmelIs And right at the very beginning you can see he sets up a little preview window that shows what his given selection would look like if it were tiled.  I thought this was amazing because it gives him a real-time preview of the changes he makes to his design, where as I have had to make various changes, and then use filters -> Maps -> Tile to generate a preview image of what my selection looks like when it tiles.  It's effective, but it is a bit time consuming, and I would love to be able to see those changes real-time without having to run special commands; especially at the very early stages of creating a tile.

Is there any plug-in or way to create such an effect in GIMP?  I'd like to keep all my work in GIMP if I could, rather than having to get this iDraw just for one single feature.

Hi, can anybody tell how to get text to look like it is following the curves of a cloth, as if it was printed on a flag or some clothing for instance?

I tried to do it with the displacement map, but the results were pretty bad.

TIA

I would like to make this polygonal designs. I know how to use line tool but is there a way
to place other shape (like dot, circle, cube) in center of intersection of 2 lines?

If I just draw circle of cube, it gets inprecise.

Took a screen shot of how this layer mode menu is being displayed. Been looking for a solution but haven't seen any posts regarding this. I've also been watching tutorials while trying to learn the program and I haven't seen the same issue replicated. I'm new to Gimp so I apologize if this is an easy fix.

I'm running a fresh install of Gimp 2.10.8 on a new laptop running Windows 10.

Thanks!

I also posted this to r/gimp before I knew about this forum; you may come across this twice. If a solution is found I'll be sure to update both posts!

Edit: Answer: https://twitter.com/GIMP_Official/status...3468267520

Is it possible to export the different pieces of a selection into PNG images or put it at once in a new layer for each ?

Let me detail below what I'm trying to do.

1. Open image like the attached picture
2. Select white background
3. Invert selection
4. Grow selection by 20px

The next step is to save the different pieces into separate images. Is it possible to do it with Gimp ?

Hey guys, 

I have a logo that I am trying to make the background transparent. However, I am struggling because there is a few white/ light colored portions contained in the logo. Every time I use fuzzy select it does not select these parts of the logo and makes it transparent along with the background. I have tried using the lasso tool to touch these sections up, but they are individual sections so I cannot select the whole image at once. Would you suggest making individual layers for these parts and then incorporating them back into the image after I have made the background transparent? Thanks in advance for the help, I am open to any and all suggestions!

Thank you,

PM me if you need to see the logo to make better sense of what I am trying to accomplish.

Problem. I'm using software that outputs many JPGs and alpha JPGs like this:

   

Using this ImageMagick command I can combine the 2 JPGs into a 1 transparent PNG:

composite -compose copy_opacity frame_0000000_alpha.jpg frame_0000000.jpg 0000000.png

That works perfectly but I want to do hundreds or thousands of PNGs.
I tried this:
composite -compose copy_opacity frame_*_alpha.jpg frame_*.jpg *.png

It looks like the output filename doesn't work. Does anyone know how to convert these combined JPGs to PNG's?
Is there another Open Source method to achieve this?

I have created the picture below for a wallpaper, and I want to blur/fade the edges of the tweet (which is a separate layer). How would I go about doing this?

Hi all! I am hoping someone around these parts can help me out    I have been using gimp for years, so I am fairly familiar with the basics of it. The majority of the things I use it for all revolve around the same tools, so I am pretty unfamiliar with gimps full potential.

I have searched the internet high and low for some help and I am just not having any luck 
I have got some 360 images taken of a model, and I am trying to delete the background of them to make it transparent, which will be easier for me to work with. The problem I am having is the background is a rough black/grey (from both the pedestal and backdrop), while the model has black/grey on it as well... I have attached 2 images of the model, just to give you a look at what I am working with...

I have tried everything I know, and it is just not working out 
The fuzzy select tool either does not select a good amount of the background, because it isn't very solid, and when I bump up the threshold it starts to select the black parts on the model.
I have used Color to Alpha in the past for many related projects, but due to this model having so much black on it, it is just not working well at all!
Foreground Select is the best I have worked with, but it does not give good results around the black parts of the model since it is so similar to the background.
I have also tried a couple different layer modes to see if any of those will get rid of the background, but again, no luck 

I thought there was a way to delete similar parts between 2 images, but at the time I need it most I am unable to remember anything   The backgrounds are very similar in some places, and identical in others, its just the model position that changes, so I figured it would be fairly easy, but that is turning out to be wrong 

I am hoping someone is able to help me out... I am hoping there is a simple solution, as I have almost 50 images to do like this one...
