Hi!
First: sorry for my English.

Second: I made a terrain map with THIS, and I'd like to make biome map to Minecraft – Open Terrain Generator mod. This heightmap won't be accurate when OTG will regenerate the biomes, but it isn't problem yet. I'd like to make climate zones and I can change the colors of the biomes.
I thought I can make colored stripes and someway they will change the colors of the terrain, but I'm not sure what would be the best way. And of course I'd like to make less colors to work with them easier.

Do you know any tutorial? I'll try by my own, but I asked if you can help me.
Thank you!

Hi, What's the link to submit gimp enhancement requests?   Maybe these are already possible but here's what I'd love to see:

* Ability to switch active layer via most tools .  When working with dozens and dozens of layers it quickly gets difficult to be able to switch layers only through the layer window.   Much needed is a way to switch layers from the tools, like an alternate function on the move tool so that if you click a pixel that pixel's layer becomes active.  Thanks!!!!

* Ability to pick colors from inactive layers.  Currently, colors can only be picked from the active layer.  I want the ability to get the color of whatever pixel the mouse clicked over, without having to be on the same layer.  Thanks!!!!

* I need a subtle visual cue to alert me when something is selected.  I usually work with "View Current Selection" off - because it's distracting.  A subtle message like on the status bar or something would be awesome.  Thanks!

Again, maybe a new version of GIMP has these functions (I'm on 2.8.2).

Sincerely,
   Phil

Hello. I am having trouble with G'mic. The final result isn't the same as what I see in the preview window. It doesn't always happen, but often it does.

How can I correct this? For some reason this wont let me attach a print screen, so I can only type text..

Hi all,

When I try to open or save files in GIMP 2.8.20 (and earlier versions) I get a popup that says "Cannot Read Contents of Folder"

I get this trying to open/save from/to different folders and I can't figure out how to fix it. Could someone help me please?

I'm not really new to GIMP, so I'm able to navigate around pretty well. Any help would be a huge boost. Thanks!

im almost done with my beetle but how do I select the head and make it red but avoid making the eyes red and keeping the eyes blue. thank you

   

When Gimp starts, it loads settings:

• Active tool (for each pointing device)
  
• Foreground and background colors
  
• Pattern
  
• Brush
  
• Pattern
  
• Palette
  
• Font
  
• Interpolation method
  
• Specific settings for each tool
  

• Some fixed settings you have set once for all
  
• The settings at the end of your last session
  

• Set everything as you wish (active tool, colors... use the list above as a starting point). 
  
• Open Edit>Preferences-->Tool options
  
• Untick Save tool options on exit
  
• Click Save tool options now
  

I guess this is kinda picky, but is the FG/BG tool supposed to open with white foreground?
When I want a new screen, I always have to click the FG/BG tool or go to advanced options in the file new dialog and say open in foregraund color. 
Is there a way to get it to open with black foreground and white background?
I've looked at all the items in edit preferences and can't find it.

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.
