I have an image.
I want to add double headed arrows.
How should I best do this?

I then need to add text.
The text should line up on the same slant as the double headed arrow.
How should I add the text? Is there someway of connecting to the line, so if the line is moved about and rotated the text gets rotated?

Thanks.

So as I'm sure everyone understands, printers don't print white. They just leave white areas transparent, since they assume that the paper is white. And all colors which contain white are only printed with a certain amount of ink, again assuming that the white paper will "correct" the color so that it prints the same way it displays in the file.

So my question is, can someone walk me through how I can turn all the "whiteness" in an image into transparency, in effect mimicking this printing behavior? I hope this question makes sense, I can clarify if need be.

Thank you!

I have an image of a TV and I want to keep the TV in the image and replace the rest of the image with a color. How would I do this?

The 10 photos are in one png file. How can I seperate the photos to stand alone?

All of a sudden when I use the Crop to Selection tool, I am getting a second border of 'marching ants' which reflects the crop I have selected. However, it is cropping to a slightly larger area beyond that which is shown in the preview image.

As a test, I exported the image to jpeg and posted online and indeed it is showing the larger crop selection that is not what I want!

I am fairly new to GIMP so am not sure if I have accidentally pressed a wrong button and cannot work out how to correct this.

Any help appreciated!

I just reset my default new image size in Preferences to 1350 x 1350. That's a great size for experimenting with brush size, colors, etc. My current active image is 2400 x 1800. Immediately after changing that Preferences setting, I clicked to open a new image, and the listed size is 2400 x 1800. What am I missing about Preferences? Is that not a durable setting?

I am using an LG ultra HD monitor. I used the LG standard color setting for this model. 

Noted that the photo printout quality (Epson L360) is different than what I see on the monitor.

Like to know how can I set my monitor and printer such that the picture quality will be about the same as on my monitor, printed photos from my printer AND from photo studio.

I saw a device to calibrate the monitor before. Cost stops me from venturing that path. Any better cheaper way?

Many thanks.

Hi. I'm new and i would like to use GIMP to make realistic images look cartoon-like. The filters present don't quite cut it. GIMPressionist looks promising, but i can't find an option to give it a full-screen preview. Without one, i would have to open and close the window after every minor change or test.

Anybody who has experience with this and could help me out?

Example based on Scarlet Johansson:

I don't know what I changed, but now my EXPORT FILE as JPEG button appears where it normally appears... but that button won't do anything. Instead I have to move a few windows out of the way to find a "duplicate" EXPORT FILE as JPEG button which does work.  The problem is minor but annoying.  I'm sure you all know an easy fix.

Hello,
I use GIMP in a fairly limited way, but one item that I use all the time and would like to code into a few macros is the "Path from text" option.  I can't seem to find anywhere in GIMP where there is a shortcut for this, and am having difficulty creating my own.  

I tried creating a shortcut by enabling dynamic keyboard shortcuts in the interface section of the preferences and using ctrl + alt + p while hovering over the option, but it doesn't seem to allow creating shortcuts this way for items in the right click menu.  I also can't find the "path from text" option in the "configure keyboard shortcuts" menu.

Is this just not an option, or am I missing something ridiculously simple?
