  Copying and pasting from the Internet
Posted by: alano9999 - 01-26-2024, 05:26 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

I have a background layer and I want to paste a transparent image to it. I.E I do a Google image search for ‘trees transparent’ and receive a full page of results. However when I select a result with a checkered background vs an image with a white background. Only the ones with the white background copy and paste correctly. The ones with the initial visible checkered background do not. (Pasted image also includes the background with these). I was wondering why..

Sorry, I'm a beginner in gimp. 
I have a picture with white text on black background. First I want to remove the text. I try using the klone tool. I use the ctl-key for marking the source spot. But the klone tool does not do anything. 
I would appreciate a help tip

  Animations and Layers editor
Posted by: SeanRickard - 01-24-2024, 08:26 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I'm new here, so hi.

After optimising for an animation, is there a way of exporting the list showing in the Layers Editor as a text fiile?

For Example:
----------------

img001.jpg(100ms)
img002.jpg(2000ms)
img003.jpg(200ms)
.... etc

cheers Sean.

  Why is the Move tool moving the wrong layer?
Posted by: Ofnuts - 01-23-2024, 08:43 AM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - No Replies

By default, the Move tool auto-picks the layer of the top most-non transparent pixel where you click. So, starting with such an image:

   

Depending on where you click the Move tool will pick a different layer:

   

This can be disconcerting at times because if you click at random in text, you could be clicking on a transparent spot (for instance, inside the D or O above) and so selecting a layer below (the background or the green spot), which will make the move tool move that layer and not the text layer.

So, to move text, you have  to click on the characters themselves (or on any opaque part of the layer, but this is what we are naturally doing most of the time for non-text layers). 

In case of dire need, you can make the Move tool act on  the active layer:

   

But instead of checking the tool option, you can also just start the drag with a shift-click. It is usually a bad idea to set the tool permanently in the Move active layer mode, because it makes arranging several layers very cumbersome.

Finally, remember that in the Text tool, you can move the layer you are editing by Alt-Control-drag (independently of where you click).

  Text randomly gets selected at the font edges?
Posted by: Snacko - 01-22-2024, 08:52 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I rebuilt my pc about 2 months ago and reinstalled GIMP.

Sometimes when I am editing or adding text, the text gets selected around the edges of the font, like it was an image.  But it's just text..  I have not done anything to the text.  And sometimes it does this to other text on the screen that has nothing to do with the text I was working with.  Like 1/3rd of the text layers on the screen.  This happens randomly and I have checked in the Preferences and tools, but found no setting that would do this...

Any Help is appreciated.

  How to pad an image with extra transparent border
Posted by: rinaldop - 01-20-2024, 11:58 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

Hello all,

I am back with a continuation of my project from my last post. I have 60 images that start at 420x37 and decrease in length by 7 pixels per image like so

   
   
...
   

What I need to do is make all of the images back to 420x37 by putting a transparent edge on the left side like so
   

I am on the right track using canvas resize with an offset to move the image to the right. Everything looks fine in Gimp but when I try to flatten the image so that I can save the new file I get an error.

Also is there a way to automate the process for all 60 images?

Thanks for helping out a newbie!
