I've read and watched a couple different tutorials on how to get curved text set up in Gimp, but I really don't understand what the problem is.
First off, in certain, longer examples, my text ends up looking like this:
For other examples, my text ends up being both warped and aligned at different positions in relation to the circle:
What am I doing wrong? I'd really like to start making some circular text art.
I'm an occasional Gimp user and am having a problem tryingto create some CD/DVD labels. I want to put text on a curved path but haven't beenable to get a persistent path.
I've followed instructions in the help manual and from the "Beginning GIMP" bookabout creating a path but the path won't display after switching to a differenttool.
These screenshot links show:1) Using brush selected for path
[URL].... Using line selected for path
[URL]...Resulting path (same for both types)
[URL]....
As soon as I select the text tool, the path disappears. Obviously I'm missing somestep that would make the path persistent or I'm misunderstanding how paths work.Shouldn't the path remain visible?
The Gimp version is 2.6.12 on a KDE desktop under openSuSE 12.1 & 12.2.
I am attempting to create curved text in GIMP. Here are the steps which I complete:
1. Create a curved path
2. Type the text
3. Click text to path
This all works fine, except that it doesn't give me all of the text along the path. For example, if the text is supposed to read "Church-wide Picnic," it will only give me "Church-wide Pi."
I have created the path all the way across the screen and made the text as small as possible, and it still does this.
Is it possible to fill a shape with texts or have text follow a curved path?
I know you can do these things in photoshop and illustrator but am not sure if they can be done in GIMP!
I cannot find the page setup in the menus of 2.8. For some reason, despite my image being landscape, I cannot change the print orientation to landscape.
In earlier versions, Page Setup was under the File tab, but, for the life of me, I can't find it anymore.

I use gimp 2.8.4 on a tablet with pen.The brush size that I usually use is ranging from 1-25.I prefer to change the brush size by dragging the slider, but using thetablet pen to click the brush size slider bar is really not easy to controlit to 1-25. (see attachment slider.png)Can I setup the the maximum value of brush size slider to 25?

The page setup does not appear to accept my changes, why?
I have a laptop running on Windows 8 and have a dual monitor setup with the desktop extended to my LCD monitor(main monitor).
GImp 2.8.2 opens on my main monitor BUT the icons/menu etc don't register my mouse clicks, though I can move and resize the windows, highlight things etc
When I move the Gimp window to my Laptop Screen everything works fine on that screen only?
I have used this setup with Windows Vista with no problems at all and even tried Gimp 2.6 on this setup and it works fine too...
I am trying to create a puzzle from an image but I am having some trouble with the edges of each puzzle piece. Basically in short what I am doing is this.
1) I load my image in gimp (image layer).
2) Create new white layer (puzzle layer).
3) Use Filters -> Render -> Pattern -> Jigsaw...
4) From the Jigsaw windows I select; Bevel width; 0, Highlight; 0, Jigsaw style; curved.
5) I then select the white area from the puzzle later, copy this area from the image layer, and paste this on a new layer (piece layer).
6) I duplicate the piece layer (duplicate layer).
7) Paint the piece in white in duplicate layer.
8) In duplicate later I select Filters -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur
9) In piece layer I select Filters -> Map -> Bump Map
10) I select the duplicate layer as layer.
My problem is that the edges look really bad. Is there any way how I can make them look better? That is, not so much crippled?My aim is to have each puzzle piece in a different layer since I have to save them in different files. I checked several tutorials on how to create puzzles but all give me similar results.
how I can produce curved text?
For example, txet that follows an arc, how to do distorted text, but that's not what I want.
I want the text to look normal as it follows, for example, an arc or circle.
How can I draw in GIMP free handed curved interrupted lines (dotted; dot-dash-dot; dash-dash;...) ?
To create lines first with a pencil and to use then the rubber , gives uneven and so unsatisfactory results.

Our output is mainly structural drawings where we require a bill of materials as part of creating a drawing. Whenever I insert a BOM in the drawing environment I get this table which is labeled in a foreign language (it looks like an Eastern European language) and the format is not as per the standard Autodesk installation setup.
How do I either revert back to the standard setup or do a BOM setup from scratch?

How to create a flow arrow label for a feature line that parallels the curve?
I've a vague notion that this could be done with a dynamic block and a few fancy expressions. I'm comfortable with expressions, but I've never used dynamic blocks at all, so I wouldn't know where to start.
To be clear, I know curved text is possible, but I'm looking for a curved line (ie an arc) that would look 'parallel' to the arc of the feature line (ie have the same centre point). This would have to be dynamic to allow for different radii and for flipping to the left and right side of the feature line.
Having a time getting ribs to align 2m below top of ridge beam, and connect to curved wall below. I created one, then arrayed, but the radius changes at each 2.5 degree interval. I don't think I should have to calculate the % radius change to get the beams to do this. Some constraint button maybe?
Not sure if editing a wall profile is the best way to model this, but it's working.
I want to extrude a big number of pillars to a rather complicated surface and that works out fine. But each end of the pillars warps around the surface and I want them just to go up to it and stop with a resulting horizontal face.

I am using a very old version of Photoshop (i.e. Photoshop 6.0).If it is possible to create text along a curved path in Photoshop 6.0 (Windows)? If so, how?Note that I do not want to create wraped text (using Arc etc.).
Specifically, I want to type text along the lower half of a circular image.checked various blogs that show how to do that for more recent versions (or MAC version) of Photoshop.

I have a variable number of text lines I would like to arrange along the path of half a circle. I would like the text to look like each text-string is radiating from the circle (the path I have as half a circle).
I would like to do this in adobe illustrator
I would like the text to be evenly spaced along the path dependent on how many lines of text I have.
I have seen other discussions suggesting either the blend-tool or the brush-tool. But no luck. The blend-tool would make distorted shapes in between, and would twist and distort the text. The brush tool would make each text a little bit 'cone-shaped', and I would prefer having the text without such a 'cone-shape'.
I am attaching a picture that halfway shows my intentions. In this diagram I have started rotating the first 4-5 text-lines. I have more text-strings (just above the half-circle) that I also would like to include along the path the half-circle is indicating.
The final goal is to get each of these locality-names raditing from the tips in the little red tree.
Is it possible in illustrator to align the text along a path like this? It is almost similar to the normal align objects and distribute objects.
I am working on a Mac OSX 10.5 Adobe Illustrator CS3.
