HELP! 
I created a .png image with transparent background by selecting add alpha channel, then selecting the background colour and clicking on colour to alpha which made what seemed like a perfect .png image. However, whenever I cut and paste it, it comes up 10X lighter than the actual image (which is in greyscale, not set to greyscale just devoid of any other colours). 
I've tried darkening the image so it was still legible and it always comes out very light. 
I've made plenty of .png images, and this is the first time this has occurred. 
Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thank you in advance!

NEVERMIND. I solved the issue. I couldn't find where to delete this thread, sorry. Just ignore it.

Hello, is there an option in GIMP for seeing what I'm cloning (cloned area) when using the Clone Tool, like the way the clone tool in photoshop does?

Doing it without a visual help is too difficult. 

Thanks in advance.

I am a photographer, and am trying to escape from the expensive annual updates for apps which can be used for waterless darkroom work.

No offense is intended, but, I looked at your mission statement, and the above question arose in my addled brain. Free art is great, but if I have a serious question about working digital color or monochrome photography in GIMP, will this be the best venue for an answer?

Thank you

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!

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 ?
