I am very familiar on how to use the scissors tool, but I want to know once I get to the end, is there a way to go to another section of the image to cut out what I want to get rid of?
Example, a picture of someone with their hands on their hips - I want to cut out the space in between the hips and arms and then everything else. How do I accomplish that?

Thanks!

Hello, I'm a new GIMP user. I was wondering if anyone could help me create a specific effect. I am looking to create something similar to the cosmic/space design in this image:Thanks! All help is appreciated.

Hi all. Got a problem here with the map to object filter, or maybe it's just a case of it can't do what I want it to. I thought it best to ask here to find out for sure.

The circle at the top and in the foreground is the one that I want to map to a cylinder, but no matter what I do I can't seem to get ride of the other two circles, the one at the bottom and the one in the background. I can erase them after the mapping's finished but I was hoping to find a way to prevent them appear in the first place. Cheers.

Hello all, I know there is already a ton of great websites out there for learning computer stuff like the brilliant cookie websites, but There all very tightly moderarted and not easy to submit your own tutorials/ experiences, So ive created a website which is specifically that, a community driven site (like blenderArtists) although i'll be updating it as often as I can with everything I know It would be great to get a huge library of everyone tips and tricks, after my cycles thread got massive I realised that If i build it.. they will come, so ive built it, and now I need you guys to do your magic XD
All credit will go to the people who submit their article, I wont try to steal anyones genius so dont worry about that

Hi,

I was wondering if there was any way to maintain stroke width (with antialiasing off) when importing/resampling vector files, like pdf. photoshop does this, i think.

i made a test case that shows the issue in the attached files. the PDF is a 1px-stroked square. when i try to rasterize it to 100dpi (or any dpi other than 72) using Gimp or any tool that relies on ghostscript for rasterization (imagemagick, mupdf, xpdf) i get a square with unevenly stroked edges. photoshop's algo maintains the stroke width in favor of maybe less optimal positioning.

is there any way to make Gimp or any other pdf->png rasterization tool (ghostscript included) prioritize stroke widths over positioning?

thanks!

When I move anything around, the canvas (or whatever I am moving) starts to tear (the rendering of the canvas tears up). The movements also start to lag quite a bit. The canvas takes about half a second to refresh properly (i.e. the tears start to disappear).

Attached is a screenshot of a torn canvas while moving it around.

I have tried this on 3 PCs so far. Two PCs have ATI cards and the third PC has an NVIDIA card. I have updated the graphics card drivers (does Gimp 2.8 use the GPU to draw the canvas?)

I have a 25 layer animated gif done. I also have a png of the same size with a transparent background. I want to run that png image on each layer so the background is animated while the foreground is not.

How do I add that layer to each one of the 25 layers of the gif so that the background looks animated while the foreground looks still? Thank you so much. Version 2.6.11

I have attached the 25 layer background and the single top layer.

I have a great picture of Jet Jaguar. I'm interested in pixel art, so I reduced the colors to an indexed 16 colors. I am quite pleased with the result:
   
I want to save the 16 colors in this pic to a palette for later, but how?

I've been looking in vain through the menus for a way to save this colormap as a palette. Maybe there's a script or plugin somewhere, but it is hard for me to believe there isn't a built-in way to do this.

Hi everyone,

I notice with GIMP 2.8 that I can't type in numeric values if I want to scale/rotate/etc. a selection. I can use the mouse to manipulate my selection freely, but I'm pretty out of luck if I want an exact value (though I know that I can hold Ctrl for certain snapping, which is extremely helpful). Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this, or if I am missing something? I'd very much appreciate any and all help!

I'm fairly new to GIMP (been a user for the past couple of months), so please forgive any noobishness!

Thanks,
Chris

Hi all-
I need to design a vinyl banner using GIMP. The size of the banner will be 4'X8'. What size should I set the starting image size WXH ?? Should I keep it at pixels instead of footage?
Thanks in advance!
