[Gimp-user] circle border wrong shape

2013-05-09 Thread irishtaz
Hi guys,
I'm hoping someone can help me. It seems that I have accidentally changed a
setting but I don't know how to fix it. I am trying to create a circle with a
thick edge/border,like this
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/lbmhcfjh4t3ieww/circle.jpeg)
I am going to have text in the border. It worked fine as in previous pic but
gimp wont let me do it anymore. When I try to create a circle with wide edge now
the shape completely changes to a diamond type shape
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/wkxa0am057xzvx1/wrong-circle.jpeg) It's not a circle
anymore! I am guessing that I must have changed some setting but don't know how
to fix it. I would be very grateful if someone could help me.

Thanks very much,
irishtaz

Hi Garth,

thank you for your lines and advertising GIMP and - even more -
encouraging people to make art without having an expensive equipment.
Your art looks great!

Kind regards,

Sven

Thanks Rolf,
I'm not sure whether you overlooked that I'd already done that, or 
whether what you're

suggesting is somehow different from what I did.


I had not understood what you did with LibreOfice, I assume they came 
out OK.


Hmmm.

What happens when you print from GIMP into a file instead of the 
printer? Is the output file looking right?

Hi Helen,

I've been trying for days to print a small 4x6  picture that
I drew in gimp.

I've even spent quite a bit of $ putting new print cartridges
in my printer, even
though they were not empty.  Just trying to cover everything I
can think of.

The picture just comes out pink.  There should be no pink in
this picture.
I have lots of trashed pages printed with Gimp, one with
LibreOffice tex,
one with LibreOffice Draw.  There are also thin vertical white
lines on the
print.   It looks fine if Print Preview.  All settings on both
file and printer
are set to Best.   RGB color.


There are a lot of possibilities - it can be GIMP, Linux, your
printer or other stuff.

I would try this:

- export the image as a JPEG, in the original size and good quality.

- import that image into a Libre Office text document with the
size of your paper as the document size

- print that from Libre Office.


If this comes out OK, GIMP is the culprit, if not, then it's Linux
or your printer. These white stripes can be caused by a not
properly aligned print head.

I hope this helps!

[Gimp-user] GIMP behaviour problem

2013-05-09 Thread Frenchhen
Hoping that somebody could help me, please. I'm a complete novice.

A couple of weeks ago I began using GIMP, and followed this tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh4FxZc7C4s

It has worked perfectly until today. I can no longer tear a photo.

Each time I open an image, it gives itself the name Background.

When I lasoo a corner of the image and select it to get the marching ants, and
then click Edit, Cut, Edit Paste, it forms a new floating layer  called Distress
Scratch layer, and instantly merges itself with the Background layer. When I
open a new layer, there is nothing in it. The cut piece of the image has gone
back to the original image. I am using exactly the same procedure as I have been
doing for two weeks.

I have tried tearing an image already saved as an xcf file, an image saved as
a jpg file, and a completely new image that hasn't been touched by GIMP, all
with the same result.

I've closed down the computer and restarted, but that has not helped.

It feels as if something within GIMP has changed itself to make it behave in
this way.

Can anybody, please, tell me what to do next?

Many thanks.
