I have a foreground and background color selected. I want to draw a line with a gradient between the two colors. All I get is a line in the foreground color.
The help talks about a checkbox "use color from gradient" but I don't have that on my tool options. I can see the sample gradient displayed there though.
I created a gradient using the gradient tool. If you look at the image I supplied, you can see a clear line between the white background and the -what is supposed to be- white bg color of the gradient. Why is this not smoother?

I found out that you can't change line color in the line nova because a fix to prevent white on white or something like that. Is there another way to change the line color.

I am trying to keep the same image, but change the green hues to blue hues. I am fairly positive I can recreate the bottom part of the image (the rectangle with rounded edges aka a button), but I don't know how to add the top parts after that. Ideally I would just like to be able to change the greens to blues.

I have CS5. The bugs and broken features in AICS6, make it unusable in my workflow.
I am specifically concerned about the inability to drag global color swatches from the color panel to Gradient stops in the Gradient Panel. I use this method to update a gradient color because I find it MUCH faster than option-dragging to duplicate a stop color, then deleting the unused stop. Since I do this constantly, I find using CS6 very tedious.
So I'm working on a drawing and my brushes are being glitchy
1. whenever i use the paintbrush the paint doesnt completely come on the board. like it kindof "skips" where it adds paint and where it doesnt.
2. I'm trying to add color to a lineart i'm making, and the color wont change. Like I'll try to change the color from black to orange. on the palet it says the color is orange but it still shows up as black (with a paintbrush or a pencil).
I'm a machine knitter. I'm converting images into 2,3 or 4-colors for knitting on my compuerized knitting machine. I need to have a separate "line" for each color of the image in order for my machine to knit with yarn of that color. If 4 colors, I must knit 4 times for each row, once with each color.
I'm doing pretty well with creating the needed image file of 2,3 or 4 colors, but have no clue how I might be able to create a master monster file where each horizontal "line" is essentially exploded into 4 lines, one for each color.
I would like to color animal lineart such as wolves and big cats. I know the easy way to make layers, but coloring it is so time consuming. I normally try to color inside the lines and whatnot, but that takes forever.. Is there a way I can color and not worry about going outside the lines?
View 10 Replies View RelatedNew to GIMP and would like to add some color to a line drawing. I have a line drawing that I scanned into the computer as a JPG. I've imported that JPG into GIMP.
the line drawing has a dozen or so areas created by the intersecting lines. I would like to fill the various areas with different colors. How can I do that?
If I pour a color paint on the picture without doing anything, the entire page changes to the color poured. Not what I want to do. I want area A to be red, area B to be blue, and area C to be yellow.
I have a cartoon line drawing. The black outlines are anti aliased so the edges of the lines have different grades of gray pixels on them. When I use the fill tool, and adjust the fill with the opacity and tolerance sliders, (I think that's what they're called in GIMP), I still can't get what I want. Only some of the gray pixels are colored in. Others are canceled out. Completely covered by the color, erasing some of the line.
Or some pixels remain uncolored. Just gray instead of a combination of the gray AND the fill color. What I'm looking for is an effect that looks like I placed a colored gel shaped like the cartoon character over the drawing. All the different shades of gray pixels should still be seen. Even the ones that are lighter than the fill color. With a gel, those pixels would appear darker, even though they were lighter than the fill color without the gel over them. The darkness of the color PLUS the added darkness of even the lightest gray pixels should make all the pixels appear darker. And the line would appear complete. Not partially erased.
Is it at all possible to get this effect?
I'm currently trying to use the text tool so I can color a line of text in two differing colors. However when I highlight the characters I want to change the whole line changes.

Is it possible to apply a gradient to a line? I was able to create the line below using the drawing tools in MS Excel and was hoping to do the same in CorelDraw X6, however, I did not see any outline color gradient options.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI create a new layer and fill it with black. Then I make a new layer and make a marquee selection. Within the marquee selection, I fill the new layer with a color to transparent gradient fill. I then take the new gradient layer and warp it using the "FLAG" preset.
I adjust the bend to 20% and commit the warp/transformation. I get the curve I want, but right in the middle of the curve, running straight up the layer, is a solid line of pixels. It's almost as if, that one little line missed out on both the gradient itself as well as the warp effect.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've just recently caught up to 2.8 (From 2.4 something or other believe it or not ) and amongst a couple of things I have to say I don't like is the fact that previously when setting a path, if I wanted it to be either perfectly horizontal or vertical I could see by the steps in the path preview line whether it was or not.
With the new version, initially at least, that's no longer the case. As I tend to work with straight lines a lot of the time it's proving to be a bit of a pain. Is there any way to set the path preview line to show the steps again to indicate a straight line.
I am a new user to Gimp and have gone out and watched many videos regarding how to use the different tools. I have recently been toying with the gradient tool on some text. Everything worked perfectly at first, but recently it seems to not be responding. Here are the steps that I take:
Open a new file with transparent background
Create a text box
Type in the text and adjust the font size and style
Go under layer, transparency, and select alpha to selection
Select gradient, select colors, select Dark Only mode
Drag my line from left to right across the text
When I used this exact technique last week it worked just fine, now, it either does nothing at all or will only respond only if I change mode from Dark Only to Normal.
I have recently discovered that there is more to gradients in GIMP than I had previously thought: the different varieties of pre-sets, as well as the"off-set" tool. How to make a new gradient of your own? Any other cool stuff? (Being able to manipulate gradients would be cool.)

View 6 Replies View Relatedhow do I create a gradient using my own colors? I've recently upgraded form CS3 where I was able to just drag a colour swatch onto the gradient slider to set the colour. Now I can't do that. If I try with one of the default colors it works no problem but if I create my own swatch then I get a circle with a line through it saying I can't do it.

how to edit/make a gradient with Gimp. I have opened the gradient editor, but whenever i click anywhere nothing seems to do anything. i tried clicking the black arrow,s the white arrows, but i don't see anywhere i can do what i need exactly.
when i right click within the editor area also, most things are greyed out making it unclickable.
When I choose blend, the tool options dialog comes up, but there is no selection for gradient (like "full spectrum," for example) available. The only option is "FG to Transparent."
I have tried uninstalling GIMP and then re-installed it, but there is still no gradient selection available. I am using GIMP 2.8.2.
