I want to stretch the content of a floating selection to fulfill a path completely. For example, in the image below, how to automatically scale/distort/stretch etc... all pixels inside yellow antline to make it fit to the circle path outside.

I have some white text in a floating selection and I want to outline the text in black (black border around text)... how Do I do this? I want my text to look like this:

I want to turn a dragon picture into an adult furry picture by adding a ***ina to it, I have selected the part from another photo but I want to adjust the color of the part to match the dragon's skin color..
pasting new layers happens so often it's getting a bit redundant to always move my cursor over to the Layers panel, right-click and select New Layer (just the way I have been doing it) to get around the Floating Selection behaviour.
I'm wondering if there is a keyboard shorcut, or if I can change the default behaviour to automatically paste it as a new layer and not as a floating selection, or if there is some other trick people here like using to save time.
As stated I'm using Mac OSX (ML) with GIMP 2.8.3.
I do realize this is probably a trivial matter for experienced users but I really cannot figure this one out by myself.
I dragged another GIMP image onto the main one, then tried to enlarge it (it worked) but the visible portion remains within the boundaries of the unscaled image..
I'm using GIMP 2.8.2 and I have problem with the Selection to Path tool. I've been using this tutorial [URL] to create a pie chart, but once I use the ellipse selection tool and create a circle I can't select to path (the option is greyed out).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an image, and I want to add some text along a curved path beneath it. Imagine the motto beneath a coat of arms, or a product or company name beneath a logo.
Now, I tried using the text tool to add the text along a path, and I think that I now understand how that works.
Now it turns out that there is a feature missing that I would like to see, which is that text justification should make the text conform to the ends or centre of the path... by this, I mean that if I draw a path and the text is too short to fill the whole of the path, I should be able to centre the text along the path.
The way around this that came to mind is that if the path is a circle then I can place my text starting anywhere, and then rotate that layer to centre the text beneath the image.
So I make a circle selection, and convert the selection to a path... but the path seems to start at the top of the circle (I don't now what you want to call it: 0°, 12 o'clock, top dead centre, North?) and go clockwise... meaning that if I rotate my text to be below the image it will be upside down.
My work-round is to create a temporary layer and draw a circle on it, then use that as a guide to create a path along part of the circle in an anti-clockwise direction.
But I thought that there might be a mechanism for easily swapping the start and end positions of a path,another, better way if placing text below an image,a way of centring text along a path.
Seeing this in several tutorials, but I don't know how. Am I missing something? (Google won't tell me either)

I tried using the line selection tool to create a stroke path in the shape of the design I wanted, but I can't get it to emulate this brush (it always just fades to opaque instead of tapering to a point).
This is something that I could do very easy with PS, just CTRL + click in the layer and the object get a selection around it. How I can create a selection for an "floating" object? Sometimes I need to remove some pixels around the object I cant find a way to select the contour of the object again.

After pasting a new object in order to create a new layer, in thelayers menu there should be Floating Selection ("pasted Layer") like Burnie wrote. Forme, I right-click the "pasted layer" and select "New Layer", and the pasted object showsup as a new layer. From there, I make sure I deselect everything (SELECT > NONE), andthen use the move tool (making sure the cursor is over the pasted object) to click onthe object in your new layer in order to move it.
You can move it first too though (then press ctrl+shift+N to turn itinto a regular layer). I find that quicker, but whatever floats yourboat. Layer. Whatever.
Why the "Text along path" feature hovers the text so far above the currently active path? (in my case, the space between the path and the text is about 3 times the height of the currently used font!). I've been told that the letters should lie on top of or at least closer to the path instead. How can I move the text closer to the path?
View 2 Replies View RelatedRight after one makes a selection, say by using the Rectangle SelectTool, is presented with handles that allow altering the selection.
If one then selects another tool without deselecting is being deprivedof these handles while the selection remains active thus rendering himunable to alter the selection in that fashion.
Thus forming my question: is there a way to make these handles to(re-)appear on a non-freshly created selection?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI completed my path and clicked Load Path as a Selection. I have 2 cut out areas (holes) in the path, and the selection process did not include the holes, even though the path shows them. I had the button pressed "exclude overlapping path areas" when I made the path. How do I get the path to select the outline, minus the "holes"? Kind of like a coffee cup profile with the hole in the handle excluded to show just the outline of the cup.

For example with the picture I posted here, what I want to do is be able to select the objects that are in contact with the black object on top without having to individually select them or use the "lasso" tool

It would make things easier with a "Select all objects under or above" option, theres only the "Select next object under or above"

View 3 Replies View Relatedi just would like to write inside a hollow selection (or path).to make the issue unambiguous in order to eliminate useless answers, enclosed more details.
i make a square selection using the marquee tool, then i subtract from the selection a small square within the first selection (i.e., the small square does not intersect the edges of the bigger square). this gives me a square doughnut.from the selection i make a new path. using the text tool, i would like to write (have text) within the selected area (i.e. on the doughnut itself).
apparently, it is applicable to write within a long a path, or within a (not hollow) polygon.
way to convert an open path to a selection that is just around the path? When I try to convert it to a selection it basically closes the path and then selects everything inside it. I am looking to select everything within a certain number of pixels of the path so I get a selection that looks like a line, not a big blob.
