[Gimp-user] Want to have clone tool fade
I have been using the GIMP for years and I love it, though I don't do many of the fancy things. I have tried to figure out how to make a "fade" with the clone tool (and paint tool). I found this site https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-dynamics.html and I see all kinds of fancy "dynamics" and maybe what I want has something to do with "opacity" but I can't figure it out. Can anyone help? I'm getting old. I'll be 74 next month! :-D I've always gotten great help from this list. I live in Belize!

I can change the hardness, angle, aspect ratio, etc., but the size just won't change, whether using the bracket keys or the radius slider. I'm not using a mouse and I don't want to try using the track pad's scroll function to change the size of the brush because I use it to scroll. Any suggestions? Thanks, Matthew Hi Jim, from he textual description of a youtube video I found out while having your same problem: "GIMP has a very good at working with realistic paint brushes, but the default installation lacks a very useful shortcut. If you have worked with the Paint Brush or Pencil tool, you may have noticed that changing the size of the brush isn't easy. You have to fiddle around with the Size/Scale slider in the tool options on the left. This is a lot of guess work, because it doesn't show a preview size when you are dragging the slider. Have no fear, there is an easier way. Configure the mouse wheel to increase and decrease the brush size when you scroll up or down. -Click "Edit"?"Preferences" -Under the "Input Devices" section, click "Input Controllers" -In the "Active Controllers" column, double-click "Main Mouse Wheel" -A new window to configure the controller will pop up. Make sure the second check box, "Enable this Controller" is checked, or else this won't work -Find the "Scroll Up" event, (it should be at the top). Double-click it or click "Edit" at the bottom. -Click on the "Tools" section and type "increase" in the search field -Scroll down and click on the action "Increase Brush Size". The name is "tools-paint-brush-size-increaseot;. (In some versions of GIMP it was "Increase Brush Scale") -Close the window, then edit the "Scroll Down" event -This time type "Decrease" in the search bar and locate the "Decrease Brush Size" action. (Name is "tools-paint-brush-size-decreaseot;) -Close the action window, input controller window and click OK in the "Preferences" window Now you can simply scroll the mouse wheel to vary the brush size." Hope it helps, To me, it works perfectly! ;) Cheers, When I have a tool open like the paint brush, clone, or something similar, if my cursor is in the image, I simple tap the [ to make it smaller or the ] to make it larger. I do this all the time and I love it. I may try to above, might be even easier.

Colors and size of the tools are controlled by the theme selected. You can change the theme in Edit->Preferences->Theme. If there isn't any theme but the default one, you have to install additional themes. How to do that depends on the operating system of your computer. Which one do you use? Kind regards Jan Thanks, got what I need. Just changed something in Colors in my System Settings. Now I am happy! And thanks Jan, my husband is named Jan!

Re: [Gimp-user] changing the brush sizes
If you double click on the brush, you'll also get a dialog box with some setting for that tool. The easiest thing I've found lately about changing brush size is to simply put the cursor on the canvas to see what size it is, then I just hit the left bracket [ key to make it smaller and the right bracket ] key to make it larger, and I can see the size as it changes. It will remain that size if I change tools, like to the clone tool. Don't know anything about the drop downs, sorry.

Re: [Gimp-user] How do I get the lasso tool to stop adding lines?
I'm no Gimp guru, but I have had this problem, with the line still staying. I've just learned to hit the Move tool, and the line goes away.

How does one turn it off. JLuc writes: I've also had this issue. Solution seems to be to take care of remembering which is the first point, and click on the first point so as to close the shape and end the point inputs. No need to remember anything. Hit Enter and the tool will close the selection, from the last point you made back to the first point. There's a visual difference too: as your mouse gets close to a point, if it's not the first point, the line from your last point disappears. That's because the behavior is different: if you click on the last point, the tool closes the selection, but if you click and drag on any other point, you can move it. But you don't have to remember or be aware of any of that if you just hit Enter whenever you want to close the selection. ...Akkana ___ 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 ___ 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
Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP -2.8.10 Brushes
I have been using the GIMP for about 10 years now, don't really understand most of the technical stuff that goes on with this list, but it has been very helpful (the list) to me when I have had specific questions I could not find the answers to on the web. I use the GIMP for all my photo editing, pretty basic stuff, but I'm good with the basic stuff. With the new way the brush sizes work, I was at first frustrated, then I discovered I can just select the kind of brush I want, then simply use the open and close brackets , [ and ], to resize it larger or smaller to my satisfaction. This works for me, just saying.

You can still create various sized brushes (as previous versions did) but then any time you change a brush you'll need to verify the brush size prior to using it (the slider has a reset button next to it for this purpose). Thanks Richard; But is there a way, in this edition of GIMP, to set the size of a particular brush and then save it so that it reproduces the same size that was set and saved, next time that i start GIMP?

[Gimp-user] Question about bump map location
First, let me say how much I have appreciated the help I've gotten throughout the years from this list! I'm a 70 year old woman living in Belize, my husband and I do websites (he's the programmer), I love the graphic aspect, though he's good at that, too. We have been open-source users and supporters for over 10 years, sponsored Software Freedom Day in Belize in 2006 and 2007. We use Ubuntu, GIMP, and Inkscape applications, he uses all kinds of programming languages, of course. Kudos to everyone contributing to this list and the open source movement. My question: I would like to put a watermark of my logo on images, and I can do so with the Map, Bump Map Filter. However, the location of the bump map is a problem. At 0 on the X and Y Offset sliders, it goes into the upper left hand corner. OK. The problem is the sliders only move to -1000, and my images are often larger than that, and I want to put the bump map into the lower right hand corner, and the sliders will not allow that. Typing in the numbers doesn't work, and moving the bump map in the preview with the middle mouse button doesn't work. Of course if I make the images smaller I can get it into the right hand lower corner, but I want to use the larger image. Any solution for this, or do I have to just live with this ... defect(?) for now. Thank you!
