  Question about painting over a scan
Posted by: Delfin93 - 01-30-2018, 09:50 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (11)

Hello there!


I am painting with pencile on paper and want to scan these pictures and then paint over it in black, so that you can't see in the end the pencile bt rather just the black paint from GIMP.

Here you can see my picture I painted with pencile on a piece of paper:

[Image: originaldelfinbleistift.png]
And here I tried to paint over it with GIMP but you can still see the lines I painted with my pencile:

[Image: uebermaltdelfin.png]
Is there a way to let the pencile paint disappear?


Hope for you help and thanks a lot in advance! [Image: smile.gif]

  Export to PDF spoils image
Posted by: rdh61 - 01-30-2018, 01:30 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

Hi,

I am at a loss. I have built a book cover with GIMP. When I export to PDF then open the PDF, there is a thick white stripe across the image. There is nothing like that in the original xcf file. This happens both in Linux Mint and in Windows 10. What is happening and how can I correct it, please?

(I have attempted to attach the files here for viewing but I am told the file sizes are too large. The same even with a screenshot.)

Many thanks for any help.

  Win10 Text Tool Not Working Right
Posted by: abrogard - 01-29-2018, 11:25 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (2)

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?

  Drag and Drop Images
Posted by: Wyrx - 01-27-2018, 07:24 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

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.

  Detect Gimp Version
Posted by: jojohaligo - 01-26-2018, 10:23 PM - Forum: OSX - Replies (2)

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.
