If it was me I think I would rectangle select the area I wanted to
make into a 'reflection', copy it, and paste it into the image as a
new layer.  Then I would do Layer > Transform > Flip vertically.
There's a 'reflection', that can be moved up or down and scaled on
its vertical axis (if desired) to fit where you want it in the
image.  If transparency is wanted, add a layer mask to the
reflection layer and fill it with a white-to-black vertical
gradient; note that you can go outside the layer with the gradient
to get partial fading as needed.

Not "one click" fast but not at all time consuming, and you get the
exact reflection you want, with GIMP-quality scaling and etc. in the
finished product.  Plus you can edit your saved XCF file if you need
to adjust the reflection effect later on.

You are of course completely right. But with the ellipse showing your 
brain is tricked into making the ellipse match, not the frame :)

Re: [Gimp-user] Send to back???

[Rick Strong]

Darryl,

- make a transparent layer
- put your selection on that transparent layer
- move that layer down (or up) by using the layer dialog on RHS, or,
- see Menu > Layer > Stack

Remember, if your base layer is not transparent moving another layer 
underneath it will cover up the lower layer.


Cheers,
Rick

Hi, I am probably not sending this to the correct forum but maybe I will 
find someone who knows the answer.  I am trying to send a selection behind 
another part of the image.  In other graphics programs all you have to do is 
select "send to back" and viola.  I don't understand why the gimp developers 
could not make their program just as intuitive.  Can you please tell me how 
to do this in GIMP or direct me to the people who have the answer.

I think you'd need to put the selected part on a separate layer, then 
move that layer down the layer stack. But unless the part you're trying 
to move is already on a separate layer, you'd end up with a gap in the 
original image which you'd need to fill in.


You don't mention which particular "other graphics programs" you're 
comparing to, but it sounds like they're probably vector editors like 
Inkscape, MS Visio or LibreOffice Draw. With those, each rectangle, 
circle, line, etc. is a separate object which can overlap others and be 
in front or behind them. GIMP is a raster editor, dealing with setting 
the colour and transparency of pixels rather than vector objects. If you 
draw a red square, then draw blue square overlapping it, some of the 
pixels which were set to red when drawing the red square are changed to 
blue to form the blue square (unless you put the blue square on a 
separate layer). You can't move either square to uncover the rest of the 
red square, because they don't exist as separate objects.

It would be more helpful if you could have included actual links to the
software on question or at least links to results that want to emulate.

Before you answer, consider if you've provided enough information for
someone that's _not_ you to figure out what you are looking for.

Yes, or there could be a conflict of some sort, like a conflict with the mouse

[Gimp-user] Photo reflection/blending

[brendan c mullally]

Hi,

So I’m really into crating works by using a mirror/reflection app called 
‘Mirror Effect.’ This app allows one to merge reflected images seamlessly, and 
VERY QUICKLY. 

I love using the app, but I loose tons of pixels in the transfer, and I have 
not been able to find any software that will allow me to do this so simply and 
quickly.

Before trying to answer my question or offer advice, please take a look at one 
of these reflection merging apps can do.

Mirror Effect

Reflection

I really cannot thank you enough for all of your help.

Cheers!

Best,

Brendan

Dragging the inside borders of the "toolbars" (docked dialogs really)
inwards is your first and probably the only choice.

Do you mean the OS (Windows 7) and the tablet driver may be causing the weird
tool flickering? Because it's apparently not the pen. The other pen is giving me
the same results.

I'll check and see if I can download an updated driver.

Somehow I delete one of my toolbars AND got removed from single-window view.

When it put the toolbar back and went back to single-window view...the left and
