[Gimp-user] Problem with drawing in gimp

2005-02-16 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi !
My problem is that: I want to draw to montage.
But same areas are undrawable. It seems to that areas are the empty 
areas (where layer is transaparent).
How to I force drawing ?

Thanx for help:

There are a couple of things that could cause this.  First of all, a 
really basic one :-) .  In the layers dialog, do you have the right 
layer selected?  I'm fairly good with the GIMP, and I still do that all 
the time.  Luckily there's an undo...  Second of all, is the area that 
you're trying to draw in outside the dotted yellow lines that mark the 
layer border?  If that's the case, the layer menu has several ways to 
expand your layer.  Layer to image size is particularly nice if you're 
lazy and want to do something really fast, while layer to boundary size 
gives you a bit more control.  Both options expand your layer without 
resizing any of your work, but there is another option to resize if 
you'd like to do that.

I hope that helps you out.
Matt

In the layers  channels dialog, there is a small checkbox with a
transparent check beside it - this is the keep transparency
setting, which means you can only draw on parts of the layer that
are opaque. Uncheck it, and you can draw freely.

Cheers,
Dave.
