I would like to make these wheels black.

What is the easiest way to do this?
I have tried watching a few Youtube tutorials, but none worked for me.

Do I need to outline the wheel?
Or can I do a "color picker" type of change?
(Change the silver range pixels in a selection to black)

Thanks.

Greets!

Here's my trouble: I can't apply colors on my sheets with painting tools. I've chosen the primary color, and no color comes out of my brush/pencil/aerograph...

What's wrong please?

My first post here. 

I use the Gimp animation player quite a bit to test animations. I've noticed two things recently.

 The animation player ignores dim backgrounds on transparent (alpha) layers.
This looks like a 'foreground extract' filter that appears to be coded-in. It could work as a stand alone filter.

 Also there is an icon in the top menu that says 'detach the animation from the dialogue window'.
I'm not sure what this actually does. Any ideas?

when i open an multi layered .xcf file in gimp most of the layers are text after few seconds i hear a strange sound from hdd listen below:

I like the way this photo (https://www.flickr.com/photos/152818709@...d-public/) looks and would like to apply a similar style to other photos.

I realize that the photo has vignetting and softening but what I'm not clear on is how to take a black and white photo and map the range of grays to the same tones in this photo. This photo was converted to this style using an in-camera style which is why I don't really know how it was done in-camera.

Is it possible and if so, how might it be done?

Thanks,

Jules

Is there a script to copy a layer at regular positions along a path (or should I write one )

If I make some shapes in GIMP how to create normal maps so that shadows are correctly displayed. I want to make something like this:



Q

Is there a way to get a portrait of myself to look like a drawing?

Like a simple cartoon drawing, think Hanna Barbara simplicity.

Freshly installed GIMP 2.8.22 on OSX 10.12.6 never starts, and throws the following (when reaching initialization of extension-script-fu):

I worked for a long time without issues with GIMP version 2.8, then suddenly after a Mac restart it started throwing the above when launching the app. I reinstalled 2.8.22, but it didn't fix the issue.

How do I use Gimp to make a cross image (a large plus sign), with the corners rounded, not just the 8 outermost corners, but the 4 inner corners as well?
