(pencil tool does no 'smoothing', whereas most other tools do by default) If that is the case, it's possible your image is in INDEXED mode. Check the Image->Mode menu and convert it to RGB before trying again, if that is the case David ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Hi David, gimp-users, > Are you looking for click, move to line end, shift-click?? I can draw, or a better way to say it, I can create a line or selection for that matter -- the marching ants. I can technically create a line with the Pencil and Paint Brush. But, I can't make it look nice. I can't get the diagonal to look like the picture, so it just looks like another board. I can very clearly see the steps of the diagonal. If I enlarge the image the diagonal line looks similar to (assumes fixed font email): ^ ^ ^ Thank you.

Are you looking for click, move to line end, shift-click??

There is a place and time for everything -- here and now! I have a strict policy of interference. "Just do one thing. Let go of everything else as you do that one thing -- all your concerns and worries, hopes. fears and desires. This is what leads to knowing what you are doing and what you want to do." Misunderstandings are valuable. You want to improve? Get busy failing! Attempt things you believe out of your reach, until you learn how to reach them. Treating your feelings as less important than what you know is only the first step. The second, more challenging step is treating others feelings as less important than what they know. individuality is being the first value in your life, beyond your feelings, others feelings, your or others convenience. You are the star of your own life, there is no thing that can stand against achieving your chosen path. Nothing others do is particularly related to you; only what you do is particularly related to you. Your gratitude is what frees you to use your powers to the full. Your powers have: maximum capacity = 100% commonly safe capacity = 90% actual comfortable excellent regular pace capacity = 75% so-called 'breakneck pace' capacity = 60% other-perceived safe capacity = 45% self-perceived safe capacity = 30% typical usage = 20% lazy/cowardly usage = 5% Reason is no substitute for communication. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] How do I get a smooth diagonal line
Hi Gimp-user, See the plain-old wooden fence at the top of this page. http://www.artsconnected.org/toolkit/encyc_linetypes.html Simply, right :-) I wanted practice drawing lines, shapes, and coloring them. I created the vertical and horizontal with the Rectangle Select Tool and Select > Stroke Selection, Paint Tool set to Pencil Circle (01), Scale set to 2. To create the diagonal I still used the Rectangle Select Tool, then Rotate Tool, then Select > Stroke Selection. But the line is very jagged, and it looks different than the horizontal and vertical. I tried just using the Pencil, then the Paint brush (holding the Shift key to get a straight line). I changed to a fuzzy brush. How does one get a smooth diagonal line, like the one in the picture. Thank you. -- __ DJ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
