Hello everyone!

When you are creating a new image and specifying the size. In the advanced options if I want to make something at 4k resolution should I bump up the resolution in the advanced options?

   

Thanks in advance for the information

Hello,

I have a couple guide lines on my canvas that are misplaced and annoying me, but I can't seem to get rid of them:




From what I recall, I think I should be able to hover over them, and the mouse icon should turn into a grabby thing that indicates I can click and drag the guide lines over to the ruler where they will disappear, but it's not doing so. For example, if I'm on the pencil tool and I hover over the guide line, the icon remains the pencil tool. If I click on the guide line, I just create a mark like the pencil tool is supposed to do. Thus, I can't seem to get rid of them.

Do I need to activate a specific tool in order to grab them or make them disappear? Is there some other way of making them disappear? Am I remembering correctly (that the mouse icon should turn into a grabby thing) and my instance of Gimp is somehow corrupt?

Thanks.

Hello everybody (: I am trying to create a selection and an image with square/rectangles with cropped corners. Something like this:

Hello all,

First time here.  In truth, I don't do alot of image editing.  Dangit Jim, I'm a network tech not a graphic artist!

But I had an idea for a custom morale Badge, that I wanted to try and get made for me.  All the people who make said badges, wanted an image to base their printing/embroidering off of.

And thus here we are.  Right now, I managed to figure out how to get image 1's background to be transparent.  But, when I add it as a layer on top of image 2, image 1's colors change.

Is there a way to either re-color image 1 to its original colors?  Or a way to lock image 1's colors, so they don't change?

Thanks all!

When I export this image, it is on a transparent background in Gimp and the PNG has a black background? 

If I use Black Text, it cannot be seen on the PNG. 

So if I  send this off to a printer, there is no text, and will the black background be present which will mess up the printing because I need it to be Transparent.

I have a finished design and want to export. However, I get a notification box that states;

Gave this effect a try (theres also a similar (and clueless) tutorial by he-who-shall-not-be-named on youtube).

Now i need to clean up the effect, but im lost with the choice of ca. 3000 different G'MIC filters.....any ideas ?

I've been working in an image set to grayscale mode. It's in preparation for a publication that will only accept images that are naturally grayscale in this mode (these are from a scanning electron microscope-all pixels assigned grey values only). I'm working in the most up to date version of GIMP-2.8.22 in Win7.

There are some layers in which I wish to make minor edits to the brightness and contrast, but the tool makes no visible change to the layer (which is in a layer group) I have selected. There are no changes in the preview mode or when i press OK. Is it possible this feature is not usuable in greyscale, but only RGB mode?

Hi, I'm looking for a way to convert a path to a single line:
I have a scanned image. I used the "select by color" tool to select the outline. I then convert selection to path. Is there any tool or script that will change the path to a single line, rather than the outlines that the selection followed?

This whole thing is an attempt to get an image file that will allow me to DRAW/WRITE my own images with a Cricut machine, rather than print & cut or simply cutting the images out. I was told that I'll need to find a way to save a file as a "single stroke" vector image. If anybody knows another way to go about this, please let me know! I feel like I'm being pretty dense about this... 

   

... was the simultaneous landing of the two Falcon Heavy boosters. I reckon some people at SpaceX must have had an engineergasm today. Too bad they lost the core.

The astronaut dummy in the Tesla (with the HHGTTG reference) was also a nice touch.

Special thanks for delaying the launch until after dinner
