I have recently moved to a Surface Pro. with it's fairly high res screen BUT the icons are not really legible or usable I can adjust some in settings BUT the Tool options dialog do not change.  Windows does provide a scaling factor in its settings, which helps some programs (many of which automatically scale their icons, menus, etc) but GIMP seems to ignore it.
Can anyone help?

TIA

Hiya! I have an ordinary, square border in Gimp, that I'd like to give a handpainted touch, something like the attached picture. Not a big problem, I suppose, but I would love to hear your thoughts/tips on how I could achieve that.

bw,

Mike

To preface, I am colorblind. So many colors blend together for me, so I need some assistance on this. Working on a terrain and I have 2 different sets of textures, one far away and one close. They both need to be really similar in color. I created a palette from one and applied it to the other, but I am not sure if they are still close enough. If someone could get them closer (or tell me that they are as close as they'll get, as I am not sure) and tell me what steps you took, so I can replicate on the other textures. Or any general advice, as well. Thanks.

Two images as example.

Paraphrase the initial post:

How can I resize a layer without resizing the whole image?

hello,

i was wondering i f someone could point me in the direction of where i might learn to do what is in the photo i have attached.  specifically i would like to learn how give the appearance of the wrapped pattern around the object and secondly the part where the pattern (or whatever) sticks out or overhangs the object (in this case the letter)?  i dont mind doing the work but i dont know where to start on this.

appreciate any help...

Greetings--
(I am using GIMP 2.10)  Somehow I lost the patterns in the box down at the lower right corner box.  All I have now there is burlap.  I didn't delete them, they just are no longer showing.  Does anyone have an idea what I did?  Thanks in advance.

but mapped so that brighter colours reach out closer to you.

   

Pic related was extracted from an image of a fossil by using wavelet decompose and the selection tool. I want the eventual image to be a kind of stencil of the skeleton's outline. I'm almost to where I want to be, but I can't figure out how to connect all of the disparate splotches into one continuous outline without doing it manually. 

I've already tried messing with the threshold on the select tool without much luck.

Hi,
I use GIMP on win and mac platform.
I'm wondering why to start it, it employ many time!
How can I avoid it?

TIA

Hi everyone!

I am a complete newbie, I only downloaded GIMP a couple of days ago. I have a few underwater photos I'd like to improve the colours in - as far as I understand it's mainly colour balance and white balance I need to alter. So I had a play around, and was pretty happy with what I managed to do! HOWEVER, I have obviously misremembered what I actually did, as tonight I couldn't seem to have much success on my other photos, so I went back to this one and tried to recreate what I did... and I just cannot seem to get it close!

I would be incredibly grateful if anyone could help!  I really thought I just tried adjusting color curves (perhaps after using auto fix white balance), perhaps with slight changes of hue/saturation. But no matter which channels and combinations of channels I try adjusting now, I can't seem to get the result I did the other day...

So, how would you lovely people get the first image to look like the second? (Or, if you can make the second one better please do tell me what I should do!)


Above: 1) The original image (smaller)



Above: 2) The result of my first editing attempts, that I'm pretty happy with   




Above: 3) One of my many attempts to repeat the edit, and failing - I either seem to just change the overall colour, or by getting either the sand, shark, or sea closer to the correct colour it seems to make the others worse, I must be missing something...

Thanks very much in advance!
