I used this pattern  to fill in a 1, when I first did it it looked like this  but now when I do it it looks like this  This happened without me changing any setttings or restarting GIMP or anything

I did a freshinstall of GIMP 2.10

When starting up I do get a couple of warnings about missing DDL's, which seems to be related to Mathmap.exe

Ignoring these messages is not a problem, but it's annoying.

Is there a solution?

Howdy,

I was working on a fantasy map just now and used the "text along path" tool. It seems to have worked like intended, except that there are now blue lines on the image that  I can't get rid of. They are not part of any layer (I tried turning all of them off and they were still there). Furthermore, if the image is exported the lines are not there.

Anyone know what this is and how to get rid of them? Thanks in advance!

I downloaded a picture, which is too big. I selected only what I needed by using rectangular tool. I wanted the selected part to be a square. I adjusted the tool option to aspect ratio. Then I clicked down a certain point with the mouse, and pressed shift button on keyboard while dragging my mouse. I had successfully selected a square. I copied the selection, and pasted it in a new image. I pressed "shift+t" for reducing the pasted floating layer.

Then here is my issue. The scale tool doesn't recognize the initial object that needs to be reduced as a square. It is a rectangular with different ratio. I think I copied a perfect square. Then why do I have a rectangular after I pasted it on another image?

One of the reasons I keep using the Legacy Drop-Shadow Tool is because it creates a new Layer with the drop-shadow, instead of what this new one does, which it just edits the existing Layer.

But perhaps I am missing something. Is there a way for the new Drop-Shadow Tool to make New Layers upon creation?

Thank you

I created many layers, it is messy. I organized by creating folders. Layer modes in folders seem to affect only layers in the same folder. How do I make the layer modes to affect layers outside the folder?

In particular, I have a layer of which layer mode is screen in a folder. The layer has a lens flare with black background color. When the layer is not in the folder the layer screens with background images well. However the layer is in the folder, The whole image background color becomes black since the screen mode doesn't work for the rest of background images.

How do I solve this issue?

On a full painted layer smudge tools works but on a partly painted layer if I go off the paint and back on to the paint it turns the paint all white ?
Why is smudge turning the paint white ?

Hello Gimp friends
Im simple interested to show up thi window under the right bar as you can see in the picture

A new color adjustment in 2.10 is exposure, found in Colors->Exposure.

I want to use Bimp to batch process a bunch of images add add exposure.  I can't seem to find the procedure in Bimp.  Does anyone know what it is called or how to add exposure as a procedure in Bimp?

I saved a selection to a channel to use it later. I want to save the channel with another xcf files as well. How do I copy the channel to other projects?
