GIMP Git Edition(2.9.5).
Now, the Free Selection Tool needs to press the Enter key to take effect, and it feels very inconvenient.
(New function: also can move nodes after connection.)

My advice is to cancel this new feature.
What do you guys think?

So uhh, my Layers disappeared, I was making a YouTube Banner and was recommended this, I was like, this shouldn't be so bad, it was... It was rage inducing, and to learn to use the darn thing I have to pay money? What? Also I had the tool box, the actual screen, and the layers, but now the layers and stuff are gone, I got the layers back, but now I don't have the background that came with Gimp... How do I get them back? And how do I color separate letters? Any video or answers for all my questions? Please and thank you.

Hi, after accidentally (silly I know) trashing my .gimp-2.8 folder I am unable to get two of my favourite and most used plugins to work together. These are Mathmap and GMIC. If I install only one or the other they work. But if I install them both only the latterly installed plugin works.

I *think* I have narrowed the problem down to the libfftw3-3.dll that both are dependent on. I've also noticed that the .dll for Mathmap is nearly twice the size as the one for GMIC.

I have had those two working together before so I'm at a loss as to why the won't do so now. Any ideas folks?

I'm on Windows by the way.

I have difficulty using the perspective tool.  After adjusting one side, I try to adjust the other side but the first one moves.  Is there a way to anchor the corners so you can go to another one without the first one moving?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi, 
I practice ididology and would like to be able to superimpose the chart below over the iris of the eye on a separate layer. For this to work, I need to remove the white and make this section of the iridology chart see through, but leave the black lines intact. How do I do this in Gimp? Also, is there anyway to change the black to another colour, such as yellow, to make the black lines more visible when superimposed on an iris image. Thanks in advance !

As a very new newbie might I have some advice on removing the title from the image on a book cover and replacing it with the general background mixture of cloud and sky? 

Might there be a You Tube clip that could help? 

Many thanks.

Hi all.
First post here and new to Gimp. I would like to create a logo in the form of a sphere, that has a piece missing from it. Think of it in 2d form as a circle with a piece missing (pie chart style). Adding to that, a name across the sphere too.
Any info on the how to for this would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Please see attached image.

I have roughly cropped the driver - inverted the selection, then cut, to delete the background. Then I have feathered the edges and then 'Colour to Alpha' to completely get rid of a background, so I can put the cropped part on any colour.

However my problem is, obviously all the white / very light areas of the cropped selection are also deleted because my colour to alpha was to remove white. So if i place on a dark backround, it shows through.

How do I retain 'ALL' the original colours from the cropped selection but still have no background.

I'm sure there's a much easier way but I'm new at this so apologies!

Any advice appreciated!

Thanks

1) Using the Blend tool (shape: bilinear, repeat: triangular shape), fill a layer with thin stripes (3-4 pixels, you can zoom to help). These stripes can have a slant (in practice it's best if they have a random angle, this make the result look less regular):

   

2) Duplicate the layer and rotate it by 90% (you can also create a second layer, possibly with other colors, and create stripes roughly perpendicular to the first one on it).

3) Set the top layer to "Dissolve" mode and set its opacity to 50%
