I'm a total gimp-newbie and this is probably an easy thing to do but I'm failing. I have three layers.

Layer 1. An image
Layer 2. A color(I chose foreground) which I have made a bit transparent.
Layer 3. A shape that does not totally cover layer two.

This shape I filled with a color with Bucket-Fill-Tool. That was no problem. But I want to fill the area outside the shape instead. I tried to do
Layer -> Transparency -> Subtract From Selection
but it didn't work. Any help is appreciated.

This is the successor of interleave-layers:

• Support for the Gimp 2.10 layer modes (but should still work in Gimp 2.8)
  
• Better handling of the layer names
  
• Repackaged as .ZIP with self-contained documentation
  

Does anybody know how to select an angle to fill without it "smart selecting" the angle?
all I want to do is overlay a polygon angle selection over the image I uploaded here and fill it with black
I tried the free selection tool and the paths tool and no success. I just want a clean edge instead of a pixelated edge and there is no reason the selection tool shouldn't be able to do this in my mind.
Thank you for any help!

I  have a project that I am printing to transparent adhesive stickers. My text and images are various solid opaque colors as desired. The rest of the image background has been transparent so the color of the surface that I am applying the stickers too shows through. Now I need a version where there is a solid off white background color in the bottom most layer so that the underlying object color is completely obscured. So far all I can produce is a translucent background color. 

I need some guidance.

Thanks,

George

I created a simple Imagus "sieve" filter for use on Gimp-Forum.net and thought I'd share it. I'm sure it could be improved upon as I'm not a coder, but it works fine so far.

If you haven't tried it, Imagus is a fantastic extension for quickly showing full size web images. I made a little video showing it in action.





edit: The instructions on how to import a rule is on the Imagus reddit site. 
Just wanted to apologize for the audio hum. Didn't hear it till I played it back on headphones. :\

thanks in advance

I have 150 png images with transparency.
They come from a PS .abr file i exported to single png files with a program called abrMate.

I did this because i dont need all the brushes but only some.


How do i batch convert 150 files/layers at once so they are converted to grayscale and a white background is added ?

I have Bimp installed but that doesnt seem to do what i want.
Is there no plug-in/script that exports abr files as Gimp brushes ?

Hello there,

I was wondering if there was any plugin for GIMP 2.10 that generates a composition grid (rule of third, golden ratio, fibonacci spirale, dynamic symmetry...) instantly ?
I've seen one that produces a grid with the rule of third but it seems to be unavailable anymore. Is there anything that groups various composition grids into one script ?

Good Morning:

I scanned my driver license photo into gimp 2.8.  I attempted to enlarge the image, using image ->scale image.   The pixel size of the image is 4754 X 3757.  Am I running up against the image being to dense to enlarge?  I had to go to a copy store  to enlarge the image, but there must be a way for me to accomplish this with gimp.
