I cannot change font size or font or bold...

Everything seems alright. I get the rectangular box that turns into a box with a box at each corner.. I write some text... I have the text layer selected..

But I can't do anything with the text.

It all should happen immediately, right? Chang font size it should change right there on already written text? Change font, written text should change?

None of that happens. In fact I can't change the font for a new line of text.

I in fact don't get a drop down list of fonts to choose from. Maybe the problem is there somewhere: it has no fonts?

What can I do?

Long live copy-n-paste

I've been using GIMP for 5 months now and have been slowly learning the tricks and nuances of this image tool. Seemingly overnight I lost the ability to drag and drop images onto GIMP and instead have to resort to Ctrl-Alt-O if I want to add images to a pre-existing image. I was hoping for general support since I've looked everywhere and nothing seems to correct this issue.

http://www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-use...-drop-jpgs is troubleshooting if I can only drag and drop a single image and no others appear as well.

I simply can't load a single image at all unless using Ctrl-O or Alt-Ctrl-O.

Okay, I might not get it, but I want to detect the version of Gimp I'm using - seems simple enough right?
But there is no menu choice to do so. Such as Help > About


Yes, I'm using OS High Sierra. I understand that the current download is stock without add-ons.
Is version info an add-on?

Here's a screen capture of the Gimp interface.

I would like to make this:


Now, explosion I would make with line nova,
but I don't know how would I make dust and
I don't know how to make non-uniform distribution of colors.

Hi all:

I used to be able to print from gimp but haven't done so for quite some time, and things seem to have got broken since then. Printer indicates that data is being received but after a minute or so the printer just gives up with no indication of what's wrong. Printer is canon mg5220 which works fine from all other applications. From what I've seen on the web, printing issues with gimp are so common that the usual solution seems to be to save the file and use something else to print. Is there a fix for this? Running Debian stable.

Hey,

I want to make a big poster with a giant text in the form of an animal or with the shape of an animal inside of it.

Is this possible with gimp2 or can you maybe recommend a way to make this happen?
I need it as a present and als the copy-shops in my area are unable to create this, they need it to be prepared als img
