Hi,

This is a problem that seems like it came out of nowhere, and I have no idea how to solve it. Whenever I use the brush tool and try to draw anything using my mouse, what comes on the screen is a horribly jagged line. See below for an example:

   

I thought it might be because "Snap to Grid" in the View menu was turned on, but it wasn't. Turning that on only made it worse:

   

I don't have the most steady hand, but there's no way it's that bad. So what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

This is my second post here as a new member.

I have attempted a search on my query "signatures" and not found any results, so let me ask....

How does one go about creating and including a signature for one's posts?
I poked around in the User Control Panel options, but could not find anything about signatures.

Thanks in advance...!!

Hello,

This is my first post here on Gimp-Forum.net.  Have attempted a search of the forums, with no results, prior to posting this question.....

I need some advice on how to install plugins into GIMP, specifically, the NIK Collection.

Have been poking around in the directory tree under GIMP in C-windows program files, and have not yet been successful in my attempts to install the plugins.

Thanks in advance for any help..!!

Hi there,
I just made a terrible mistake and closed out 2 of the windows and left the manipulation windows. How do I get the 2 default windows back? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thats when i thought the best way to make posterized Obey-esque art is by drawing simplified shapes manually on top of a processed image.

Found it a very awkward tool and ditched it in frustration.

Tried again yesterday. I dont know, something is not right.....
Installed the latest driver and it has gotten better, but its still not like drawing on paper.

I dont think i have pressure tapering and im very unsure about the right brush dynamic.

Watched a lot of videos and it seems 'Basic Dynamic' is supposed to be the default for drawing in Gimp.
It does give me faded strokes and differing opacity, but it does not really seem ideal for drawing.

Of course i can produce a stroke that is tapered at both ends with the right brush dynamic, but whats the point for drawing ?
Especially when i have to adjust the Fade manually to get the right tapering for any given line ???

I also applied the Smooth Stroke option, which helps a bit but i havent figured out a good setting yet.

Also tried with Inkscape and i just dont find it very useful with the smoothing option of the Pen Tool.

As a last trial i installed Krita, which is very laggy on my computer.
According to the FAQ, the 4GB RAM i have is not optimal...

Any advice ?

Apologies for newbie question. Asking about drawling simple arrows, and lines to create arrows. Have installed arrow.scm  and 'arrow' appears on 'Tools.' Unable to create arrow.
Tried using pencil tool. I cannot make it create any lines, despite ensuring I'm on the right layers.
Any pointers appreciated.
Thanks.

description of what i am trying to do

So I have a script right now it's doing this
loop through source image for each tile, copy and paste as pattern (difference mode) over top of tile image.
loop through each tile of a visible copy and look at r,g,b using 
make selection of the tile.

Will brush dynamcs be activated in next release 2.10 ?

Will 2.10 have aditional features for brushes?

Will it have vector layer system?
