Hello everyone,
I am new to Gimp. I have the version 2.10 installed in my Windows 10 PC.
My text, along a circle path, comes always Right to Left, so I can only place the text at the bottom of the circle only
[the videos on You Tube always shows "text along Path"  from Left to Right and at the top portion of the circle]

The [modified] instructions i am following, from one of the videos on You Tube (version previous to Gimp 2.10) is as follows

1. Trace Circle & Type something
2. To path and Text along the path
------------------------------------------
3. Layers > New Layer > Transparency > OK
4. Click Selection Layer Path > Click Flip Tool > Vertical
5. Type something >< Text along Path
6. Delete [horizontal] text layers on canvas
7. On Select Menu > None
8. Rotate both text - but one is always upside down!

I have reinstalled Gimp 2.10 a couple of times but the problem persist. 

Thank you for your attn and time in helping me.

Hi all,

Ubuntu 16.04 desktop
GIMP 2.8

It is very strange, Single-Window-Mode unable to start on this PC. 
I have checked Windows-> Single-Window-Mode and quit GIMP. Restart GIMP but it can't be started.

Kindly advise. Thanks

Regards

Hi everyone! I'm happy to be here and I hope I learn a few tricks from all of you.
 Version Gimp 2.10.2


Here is my question; How can I make addonCollectionManager-3.0 to work?

I been having problem with this plugin addonCollectionManager-3.0. It doesn't appear when I right click on the ; brushes, gradients, patterns dialog. With the old version of Gimp it used to work for me.


I copy and pasted some of the Python plugins from; C:\Users\Pocholo\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins  to the; C:\Program Files\GIMP 2.10.2\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins and I had those plugins working so far. But for some reason the addonCollectionManager-3.0 does not work. Thanks in advance.

I'm now a bit more clued up cutting out the background.
But... I'm still have trouble.

Pen tool: I select all around.
When I get to the last circle, it doesn't connect to my last circle.
Instead, I have to click very close to the last circle, then select path from selection (or something like that) and then invert.

Now, I can't delete.

I suspect I am missing one of the steps - where you add another layer or something?

Then I try the lasoo tool. I select all around. But now I don't get the ants!
Grrr.... what am I doing wrong? Am I missing a step of adding a mask layer or something again?
Or have I activated another setting option I am not aware of?

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks.

I want to say thank you, a big THANK YOU to the team here at GIMP Forum; if it werent for this place my problems would still continue! So thanks to you guys, EVERYTHING WORKS LIKE IT SHOULD

You guys are awesome! I shall show off my stuff at some point but I am really thankful for GIMP because of several reasons

1: its freely available on the internet no cost whatsoever
2; Its easy on the computer system with the right settings {normally default is just fine}
3: it does stuff Photoshop cant do {red eye removal, displacement maps, etc}
4: its easy to learn even with the latest updates and versions

In short, GIMP is my GO TO product for art making, I use a tablet in place of a mouse and it works perfectly as hoped infact! Thankfully the guys here at GIMP Forum work hard to keep us informed and aid us in our problems, thanks so much guys for allowing me to download and enjoy making art with the best product out there!

NOTE: all those books out there on "GIMP for dummies" "GIMP for beginners" need to be updated now, the last GIMP book I read was for 2.4!!! Look how far we've come!

Hi all,

I'm experimenting with 2.10.2 from flathub on a machine running linux fedora 27.

Using 2.8 the clone tool with opacity set to 100% completely covers/occludes the area cloned to.  Using 2.10.2 the clone
tool with opacity set to 100% coverage seems to be *about* 50% translucent.  Same image.  Single layer.

I've searched through the 2.10 forum for a similar issue.  Can't find one and I'm reasonably confident this isn't something a developer would goof on.  So, it feels like I've missed a settings switch, but I've looked through edit/preferences and can't find anything appropriate.

Can anyone point me in a good direction?  Thanks.

Cloning
I am used (sort of) with photo shop, when I clone I left click and then control and I see where my initial click was on the image and then it moves as I am working the area I want - be it a brush or solid circle.  With Gimp I do not see it and after I go over an area and 'release' the LH button, then  the change is made. Some where my settings are wrong. Any clues,  Tim

Hi,

I'm trying to create a repeatable pattern using this approach:

https://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/plug-in-tile.html

However, when setting the size for the new image (150 x 150cm) GIMP creates a new image approx. 625 cm

Original image is 50 x 50cm or 5906px, 300dpi.

Any ideas suggesting what I'm doing wrong is highly appreciated.
