please help (GIMP user)

2000-09-15 Thread Michelle M


I dont know who else to ask for gimp help, so I am writing to this address.

When I want to paint/fil using a pattern, it wont work. I choose the 
pattern, and the tool I think is the right one, and go and try and draw with 
the said pattern on the picture, but it wont let me. It shows the tool and a 
circle with a diaganal line through it as a pointer. Is there are right and 
wrong way to try and draw using a pattern? Apart from that gimp is perfect 
and I love it. I have the windows version of it, from moochers.com. Hope you 
can help, because the help files that gimp comes with (and the help at your 
site) doesnt give me a a clue to what I am doing wrong.

Thankyou,
 Michelle MacWhirter, Auckland, New zealand.

While this would better go to the gimp-user mailing
list, I'll go ahead and clear it up.  You're using the
clone tool, as a clone tool.  To use it as a pattern
copy tool, you'll need to double click on that tool
and set the option to use a pattern source.  If you
instead want to use it as a clone tool, you have to
hold down Control the first time you click it to set
the source location.

Happy GIMPing,
Seth Burgess
