Hello everyone! 

This is my first post, so bear with me if the formatting is a little wonky. 

I am starting a project where I take small images and quotes and cut them into squares on an 8.5x11.00in cardstock. What I would like to do, but am not sure how to do, is to divide a layer in gimp into a grid, with boxes ~4x5 on the paper. Then, I would like to paste the scanned images I have into each of those squares, export, and print.

Using render>pattern has gotten me to a certain point, but it's not very printer friendly, the alignment seems kinda off, and I feel like I am reinventing the wheel. What would be perfect is if each square was its own instance, as in a separate layer so I can work within each box separately without grabbing other places as well; I am not sure if that's possible or over-complicated?

I am not totally new to GIMP, although I haven't used it in about 2 years.

I've been using Gimp 2.8.14p2 (January 9, 2015) for at least the last three months on a Mac running El Capitan. A few weeks ago it started doing something new, though I gather it's what's supposed to happen.


Until a week or so ago, I could copy and paste without changing the brush in any of the tool options. Now when I copy and paste something I have to change the brush from "clipboard" back to the circular shape I had before.

When I copy something from an image, I want to paste it, not change the brush. I want to keep the brush I had.

What changed, and how can I change it back?

Hello,

I'm using Python-fu to write a plugin. Is there any way to get the path of the plug-ins folder?

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.
