Hello everyone!
Firstly I would like to clarify that this is not a software issue or a bug. It is my first time using Gimp, and while playing around with the different tools I managed to mess something up and now I cannot use the paths tool. I do not know what exactly I messed up, but now when I select the paths tool and I try to left click (to start making the path), the cursor changes and a prohibition sign is added next to it.
Also, the message on the bottom of the screen reads: "Clicking here does nothing, try clicking on path elements".
This message is shown when I click on the .jpg I have open (I am trying to trace the outline of the sun in the image).
I know it is something I did, because the paths tool was working as expected the first time I opened an image file.
All other tools and brushes are working fine.
I also attached a screenshot, so that you can see the cursor and the message.
So far I have tried:
- opening another image
- creating an image from scratch
- trying the paths tool on a new layer
- uninstalling and re-installing gimp
But nothing seems to undo the problem.
Thank you so much in advance!
