Another look at a question that often comes up.
Adding text to an animation is often a beginners problem.

For three or four layers, text can be added, duplicated and merged layer-by-layer. More that that and there are scripts to automate the process. This demo uses one of those ofn-interleave-layers.py which you can get at ofnuts sourceforge page
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-to...s/scripts/

This demo shows
. Ofnuts sourceforge page for the plugin.
. Change the color mode from Indexed to RGB
. Unoptimizing the gif (if required) to make all layers canvas size.
. Adding text and set the text layer to canvas size
. Apply the interleave layers plugin
. Optimize the new animation.

Can't believe I've had GIMP for so long and have only just starting playing around with it's artistic elements.

These are all from scratch - no filtered photos.

Thanks for looking

Hi, I'm running GIMP 2.8 on W7 and would like to add the Paint Studio addon, but am struggling to know where I get it. All the ones I've found are either from sites I don't know (or trust) or years out of date on the google page. Even then the google page presents me with countless files and I'm unsure which I should be downloading.

Would anyone be kind enough to provide a working link to the exact GPS file I need to download.

Thanks in advance.

[edit] I went ahead and downloaded the google one, then followed the simple drag and drop options on wiki. However, when I launch GIMP nothing seems to have changed and there are no extra brushes showing in the usual gallery.

Any help? I unzipped the GPS 2 folder, then dragged all the folder into my GIMP 2.8 folder. Not sure if I did it correctly.

Okay, so now, in my GIMP folder, I have a brushes folder, and inside there I have a GPS Brushes folder which appears to have all the new brushes, but how do I access them when I launch GIMP?

Hey so I am desperately trying to remove the background of the below image. It was supposed to be a render but it didn't turn out that way : I am trying to use the eraser to erase the weird squares in the background but I keep ruining the image. Any help will be appreciated.

I use GIMP 2.9.5 on Linux MInt.
I can use my Scanner through other programmes but when I run GIMP and go to File-> Create there is no Scanner/Camera option.
There are the options From Clipboard, From Webpage, Screenhot but no Camera/Scanner.

The Scanner is recognised by the OS but not by GIMP.
Any ideas?

   

This is a little plugin ob-align.py by Oberon Leung, that is in danger of being lost, so this post to keep it alive.

There are other similar plugins and of course command line ImageMagick has a similar function.

However, ob-align.py, providing you are not too ambitious, is easy to use. 

A 4 minute demo





The plugin is attached, remember to unzip it. Pop it in your Gimp profile, in Windows, C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins

Hi All,

I am trying to trace around this vette.  I have watched the video on how to many times, I have everything right until I go to the part where you select from path, then Invert, then delete and it should show checked background?  My keeps coming up white???  Could someone let me know what it is that I am not doing right?  I have a cnc wood carving machine and want to make a sign for my neighbors z06 Vette.  I would greatly appreciate any help you can send my way.

Thank you

Do you have a tutorial for this or can someone explain to me how I can move a picture to a distorted view. ie into the shape you want it and then anchor to  another layer
iwarp only shows the active layer and I don't understand Warp

Edit:- Looks like it may be the cage transform...just saw a video about it on YouTube.

AnMal did a nice effect explaining how she did this effect. I have wanted to remember it on this photo.
