I am so confused I have looked at random help things online but I can't figure it out. I am trying to add layers that are different dimensions into my project and have them not get cropped into the first layer size or have a large white background if the picture is smaller than the first image layer size. how the heck can I just have different dimensioned / sized layers please help im so confused I dont know if anyohne is going to see this or rspond in a dtimely manner but fingers crossed I guess thank you!

I've got 2.10.20 installed on Win7 64-bit laptop.  Was following along with a typically great 'Davies Media Design' Youtube tutorial when he selected 'Image/Guides/New Guide (by percent)'.  That's when I realized I do not have a 'Guides' selection on my 'Image' menu.  I installed 2.10.22 but it is the same.  Made sure 'View/Show Guides' was checked in case the menu item was dependent on it, no change.

Thoughts?

Today I was making a digital notice. The work I did took the whole scene because I was using a wallpaper as base/background. At one point, I could no longer add text inside the background/canvas and would happily wish for some extra space at top or bottom. I remember reading somewhere that we can resize canvas in GIMP. But I am not sure whether it is possible in 2.10.20 and while we are already working full canvas. Any help on this will be great.

Found this in the gimplearn forum, found it nice and tried it out (and want to share the link): https://gimplearn.net/viewtopic.php/GIMP...f=3&t=2745

Hi Team,

Is there any option to apply the Inverse selection (i.e selecting partial/particular portion of the full page image) in the Gimp application?

Appreciate your valuable response in advance.

hello i,m new to this site so will try to explained as best as i can,  i am trying to change the background to a photo but when i put the initial photo up its with the surrounding background {not including the photo background) as Alpha Channel. Should the background be white or some other colour?
Could this be the reason i have problems further down the line when carrying out a relatively straight forward procedure?.

Hey Everyone

I'm trying to follow this terrific guide but get caught at the Lay in the basic colours step.

I can't post pictures but where he goes from brown landscape to green I can, with overlay layers or brushes, only get deeper shadows and I can't find an option to set the blend mode to colour?

He is using PS but he say's you can achieve the same effects in Gimp. 

Can anyone help out? much appreciated for any feedback

Thanks
Nick

Hi, I've been wanting to edit this gif to remove the M AGA on the blankets so it's just a basic red blanket, and I was wondering if there is an easier way to do this other than going frame by frame editing out each pixel? Is there a tutorial or perhaps something I can search to find what I'm looking for?
Thank you for reading.

As an amateur photographer, I want to try out focus stacking with my smart phone. First, I had to find a good camera program and I've chosen for an open source app: 'Open Camera'.

Then I had to find free software that give acceptable results and I found (tried on os windows 10) :

A result (tried out with 20 photos):
