[Gimp-user] Painting on transparency
Quote: >As usual I miss the obvious, if you just want to paint in that >transparent area then put the paint tool into behind mode. LOL (with all due respect) Thank you, rich, your answer was all I was looking for. But that raises another question (which you are free not to give me an answer): what's the purpose of the buttons "Lock pixels" and "Lock transparency"? Specially the first, if activating it "locks" pixels *and* transparencies? Thank you again, anyway!! Wish I had discovered the utility of the Behind Mode before, that would surely spare me some teeth gnarlings...!

You have the pixel lock on, which prevents painting on that layer. The **alpha lock** prevents painting on the alpha channel but there is no function to **only** paint on the transparent area but not the opaque (white) area. If you want to paint in that transparent area then a couple of ways Draw a selection constraining to the required area. or Make a new transparent layer under the base layer and paint on that. rich: www.gimp-forum.net -- 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

Hi, I seem not to be allowed to paint over transparencies. I tried to lock/unlock transparency but theres no effect. I am able to paint over pixels either in lock or unlock mode, but I can only paint over transparencies when they're not locked. Your help is appreciated, thanks!
