See attached XCF for an example.
- Painting doesn't need to be accurate (with some luck you can fill the layer).
- Tranaprency on the top layer leaves the bottom layer unchanged
- In any case it is easier to fix that painting directly in on the initial image (make the top layer transparent where you want to redo from the initial image).
Hi Ofnuts.
I looked at the example that you put in and that is exactly what I am after, I am not that great with GIMP yet, and not sure what you did and not sure of what to do myself, any chance of a bit of a tutorial ?
UPDATE:
I played around a little bit, and looked on Youtube and found a couple of videos that show this technique, I got the jist of what to do, but I am not getting the colour that I choose, I am trying to make the menus of the programme a dark grey, I have the colour set to that colour, but when I paint the image the colour is like a washed out pink colour.
When I hide the screenshot layer, the new layer shows the painted line in the colour I want but its not showing in the screenshot layer.
What am I missing?
