When I draw some shape, how to make halo effect/look like this  :

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.

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

Hello, ladies and gentlemen ...

The reason for the creation, was that I needed one to match the default theme that comes in Linux Mint.

All, here is in JPG format in size 1980 * 1080, feel free to use case, any of GIMP users would like the main file in xcf (Gimp) format for, modification and learning, I can provide a link just send a private message ...

Good night everybody

Stay in peace

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.
