I found a great dirt road jpeg texture on google and want to use it for the dirt roads going through the small village. I see I can use it as a texture to fill a layer. But I rather use it piece meal to fill in a road. How best to do this?
Right now I have it saved in my GIMP2/Texture folder
Here is a screenshots of all the layers I got ready. My Grass layer I already added a Layer Mask. I will be adding masks to all the layers to build up my farming town with farm fields. There is no stream or river on this map.
As you can see the layer I have showing now is that road texture. Im not sure what to do with it from here. But I guess I need to shrink it down quite a lot to be road width sized. Do I make a stamp? or do I make a solid fill layer? but the road lines would not be going in the right direction.

I need a script to batch process the following steps on a number of related jpgs in a single Windows folder:
1. Fuzzy Select - set threshold to 5 - select white border
2. Layer-Transparency-Color to Alpha-OK (assuming white as default)
3. Export As - original filename - change File Type to png
Hi, after watching 50 youtube video's and attempting to read the manual I am stuck on how to fill my layer with a texture. I am trying to create a map for my online D&D game on Fantasy Grounds and I got stuck.
I downloaded a Farmfield texture from Dundjinni and added it to its own layer. Then used the "Scale" tool to make it 1600x1600 pixels. Now it covers about 2/3rd of my image. How do I copy this texture to fill in the rest of the layer? I tried using the "Clone" tool but all it did was create a new weird layer that I have no idea what to do with.
Hi there! having trouble finding the answer as to how to remove the dotted lines from a previous text placement after i move said text. It remains visable no matter what i've tried. And when i try to add filters to the current text, such as emboss, it only applies the filter to the ghost dotted text. Any help would be much appreciated. (brand new to Gimp)
runing along fine learning gimp when i must have pressed some buttons by accident. my display and how i use the software changed and now i am kinda lost doing things that were normal to me. some examples are i no longer see the open image icons/thumbnails along the top pf the main window. when i open ip 1 layer out of many it tranfers me to window with just that layer and i can no longer see the other layers. The part of the display which shows the forground and background colors and active gradient are missing. have tried playiong with windoes>single window mode. wondering what i may have pressed and how to correct? (windows zp and GIMP 2.8.22)
I've recently had to rebuild my system but previously was able to upload exported GIMP PDFs to Redbubble with transparent layers with no problems however now it won't accept them.
It's not the export feature because thw website accepts JPGs & so it must be something to do with the way it exports PDFs. I don't think the issue is with Redbubble because it accepted PDFs from my other art package AND PDFs with a transparent layer from my previous version of GIMP (don't know what that version was!)
Can anybody help - I might be missing something but I don't think so.
BTW the previous GIMP version was installed in November last year (I think) and just had floating windows rather than the desktop style it is with 2.10.6.
I'm experimenting with creating pixel art at some various levels of technical quality; creating pixel art constrained to various different systems.
Now for any system or palette that doesn't exceed 256 colors, I can easily convert an image to index mode.
For a 15-bit color palette, I can save an image as a 15-bit .bmp file (or rather, 16-bit with one bit for alpha.)
But what about anything in-between? Like a 9-bit RGB, or a 12-bit RGB? Or maybe some other less-popular color combination? (But 9-bit and 12-bit RGB are the ones I am interested in at this time.)
How can I convert an image to these palettes? Does someone have a script I can run to make the conversion?
I need to clean photos of documents batch-wise. I like the exposure plugin for this but it's not supported in Bimp. Is there a way to add it to it? To script it? Or could you recommend me another batch plugin for this purpose?
I've tried levelss and Sharp but both gave mediocre results.
