[Gimp-user] minute displacements in clone brush
Hello, if this is the wrong place for the sort of question I have, please advise where would be better. I am not a Gimp guru, not as yet anyway. I am using Gimp 2.6.11 on Windows OS. When I use the clone brush to copy a part of an image to a nearby spot on the same image, I often use the circle brush in Normal mode. There are many instances where I do not manage to place the circle down exactly in the right spot when I am ready to make the change, and I then have to reposition it by a minute amount. It is sometime difficult to move it by just a fraction by using the mouse pad. It would be swell if I could use the arrow keys for the close in work to move it just barely, but the arrow keys do not move the circle at all. Is there some combination of keys I can use to make the arrows work like that, or is there an alternative to my approach? thank you. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Either position guides on the spot where you want to click so that your pointer snaps to that position when you click, or use a high zoom factor. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

If you place the spot on a new layer you could reposition the layer a pixel at a time using the arrow keys, then merge the layer down to the layer beneath it. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

To obtain a proper cut: - select the background with the magic wand - Select/Grow the selection by two pixels - Use Colors/Color to alpha and the the background color as the color to remove This will remove the background, and make the antilaliasing pixels partially transparent. To put another color in the background: - add a new layer - move it under your subject - bucket-fill with the required color The partially transparent border pixels obtained above will create the proper color blend for a smooth border. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

[Gimp-user] Text to Path problem
I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong. And I have been having a hard time finding a solution to it. I am trying to put a text to path. The path is a curve to follow the outline of a graphic. My problem is when i put the Text to Path the text doesn't show up at the beginning of the path. It starts partway through it and always cuts off the very end of the text. I've played with font sizes and can get the entire phrase onto the path, but it still doesnt start at the beginning... more towards the end. Sorry if this is confusing. If anyone could help me, or needs more information, please let me know! -- MirandaJae ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

I upgraded to the .12 version of Gimp and it seems to be working okay so far? It must have been a bug? Nevermind. It happened again.

The beginning of a path isn't always where you think it is (especially of the path is closed). Futhermore Gimp doesn't care much about the order of the strokes (or even their direction). If have a set of pythonGimp scripts that could help diagnose your problem and may be even fix it: Check path-dump (run with gimp-console on windows), delete-stroke and reverse-strokes: Docs here: http://gimp-path-tools.sourceforge.net/ in particular the Tools and FAQ sections Downloads here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-path-tools/files/scripts/ ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
