Hi All

I seem to be having quite a lot of trouble with the Foreground Select tool.

The 1st stage works alright - I  draw an area around the part I want to select. The Lasso changes to a brush. I paint a line inside the image to select different 

shades of colour. But when I release the mouse button instead of the 'marching ants' selected area I get the following:


   

It seems to work about once in every 20/30 times.

Is it me?

Many thanks.

While waiting to board my plane the other day (the one at the bottom right) I spotted an A380 ready to take off. So, phone stuck against the window (avoids parasite reflections and stabilizes it) and push "record". Video not too good, but I had fun extracting the frames and making a reverse time lapse (is there a better name for this)? Some intensive use of my ofn-layer-aligner script to make sure all layers were aligned properly before cropping.

Running 2.8.20 under Windows 10
I've gotten a couple of .abr brushes from deviant art.
I've installed them in: C:/users/ED/Gimp-2.8/brushes.
They don't show up after starting Gimp.
Do I need to put them somewhere else?

sorry to make excessive threads this is a pain! you know how in gimp you have a color selection right? you can then pick the color of your project. my project (see below) is of a dung beetle but the colour is a hue of blue that is hard to pick out. gimp usually saves your colour choice but this time it is gone! I tried to make the colors again but no luck  what do I do? )

thx

Here is the thing I am an admin as well. I am trying to make a logo but the the problem is I want to change the beetles legs and head from black to blue, however, the issue is that when i change the color it gets swollen.

(see images)

the one on the left is the changed beetle. as you can see the legs are swollen i just want them red not swollen.

thx

Hi All - Just a quickie - how does one put a signature on this page? Have checked through my User CP but can't see anything to help.

Many thanks.

Hi All,
Have just started using & getting familiar with Gimp. Obviously LOADS of things to learn. I started work on a project - imported a .png to work on. I had this as a background layer with 3 layers stacked on top which had various coloured pencil & brushwork on. My problem is saving & exporting the image (as .png) to a folder on my Desktop. When I open the folder later to carry on working on the project all the layers have gone and it seems to have been 'rendered' to a single layer. Is it possible to save & export the file in it's working state so I can carry on working on it later.
Thanks.

   
I have GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Programme - as it is called now) 2.9.5, with Ubuntu 16.04.

I wanted to adjust an image with the perspective tool, but the tool dialogue (or whatever it is called), comes in the way and I cannot move it away, which I could do with earlier versions. The covered corner cannot be manipulated.

I have attached the part of the screenshot showing part of image being covered. 

Any way out please?

A script to slice up a layer using the guides. At the usual place.
