[Gimp-user] Unable to think of a suitable subject title! Gimp and multiple images and scissor select tool
Dear all, I am still new to Gimp: I have three images open. I am trying to select and paste portions from 2 of the images into a final one. E I ensured that each image had its own Gimp floating window next to it that starts by default (with the panels showing the selection tools, layors, paintbrushes etc) However, this happens: I select on image 2. I click on the Scissor select tool. I start to click on the image. I decide that I do not wish to do this but use the free hand select tool instead. Try as I might the scissor tool won't turn off. I can click on any other tool and when I click in the image the scissor tool carries on. 1) Is Gimp designed to allow one to open several images and work on each on concurrently. If not then how can I get around this, or 2) What am I doing wrong! This is driving me batty!

[Gimp-user] Problems with image pasted into layer
Dear all, Is there a tutorial that could tell me how to sort out this problem. 1) Created a new transparent layer 2) Pasted image into layer. 3) Noticed that I could not do anything else with Gimp so do a New - Layer, and it created something called a Pasted Layer. 4) Used select tool to select the pasted image and it correctly highlighted the whole image. 5) Used the Move Tool to move the highlighted image, but instead of only moving the highlighted image Gimp moved the 'whole' background and the image as it it were one item! How can I uncouple these two things, which I presume conprise of i) the image and ii) the background colour. I am a bit confused because although Gimp can clearly identify and select/highlight the pasted image, when it comes to moving the image it cannot differentiate between the pasted image and the background. So, what has linked these two together? Rdgs, S. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.6 download for Ubuntu
Hi everyone, Gimp webpage states: http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ Ubuntu, Debian Ubuntu or Debian users can simply run apt-get install gimp to get the latest stable release of GIMP Ubuntu repos states 2.4.6 is the latest: # apt-get install gimp Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done gimp is already the newest version. [snip] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 11 not upgraded. Thus I presume I don't have the correct Gimp repositories enabled Ubuntu ones are not up-to-date for my version 8.04. Does anyone know which ones these are, and if I change to another repos for Gimp, will I loose all the modifications, additional paintbrushes and plugins that I have added over the past six months as these might located in a different file structure? Regards, S. PS. I don't think these Emails are getting through to the Gimp mailing list because I never receive these myself. If someone does receive any of my list Emails please let me know. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
