You do realise that this post is from 2005. Nothing has changed. In the layer dialog, if the alpha lock is **on** , sometimes not so easy to see in Windows Gimp, you can not paint on transparency. Click on the icon to toggle on-off. see: attachment and https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-dialogs-structure.html which says Lock You have two possibilities: Lock pixels: when this option is checked, you can't modify layer pixels. This may be necessary to protect them from unwanted changes. Lock alpha channel: if you check this option the transparent areas of the layer will be kept, even if you have checked the Fill transparent areas option for the Bucket fill tool. rich: www.gimp-forum.net Attachments: * http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/436/original/alpha-lock.jpg -- rich2005 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
