Using GIMP 2.8.10 in Windows 8.1. The two default dialogs open are Layers and Brushes. The Layers dialog takes most of the space. I want to shrink it vertically but when I try to drag up the cursor with the two vertical arrows it moves by itself without resizing the dialog. When I do the same horizontally it works fine. I would like to see less of the Layers dialog and more of Brushes dialog. How do I do this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having an issue with X6 installed on my laptop. When I try to save, the dialog pops up and flashes at a high rate and seems to be continually re-sizing. The only remedy seems to be to kill the process and lose the work. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium service pack 1 (32-bit) and release 16.2.0.998 of Corel Draw. This is not the demo version, it is a purchased license.

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust starting using GIMP today and want to do what I thought should be very simple. I have some images for which I have words that need replacing. I therefor want to take a slice of the background colour and copy that overtop of the text. I have tried to use the rectangle tool to copy and paste the slice. However I am unable to workout how to expand the slice (expand the width) overtop of the text.. I thought it should be a simple matter of dragging the rectangle out to the desired width. I have also tried changing the pixel amount in the Tool options section. how to expand a rectangle?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently downloaded gimp and am in the process of getting used to it.
I have discovered something that is a bit of annoyance to me. when adding text to an image, I get the following dialog box over where I want to put the text.
I have set it to use editor under the text tool, but it doesn't remove the on-screen floating dialog box, also selecting use editor doesn't seem to stick, and it reverts back to being unticked upon restarting the program.
is it possible to remove this dialog box, as well as make the use editor method the default?
I am very, very new to Gimp. I watched several Youtube Gimp tutorials, and I noticed that most of of them displayed a Layers, Channels, Paths dialog box on the right side of the screen when dealing with layers, but I have not been able to bring up this dialog box in either Gimp 2.6 or 2.8. How I can display this dialog box?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI usually plug a drawing tablet and it works great with GIMP on a Ubuntumachine.
What I want to ask is this:
I want to plug a mouse. Normally movements either of the pen on the tabletor of the mouse are mapped to the cursor.I want to keep the mouse plugged while unattaching it from the cursor. Sothe cursor is only tablet driven. Then I want the brush size to be driven by the Y value of the mouse, whileI drow with the tablet.
Maybe editing the input devices editor? Or will I have to operate on Xserver also?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI seem to be having a very tough time dramatically resizing an image but keeping its quality.
I want to go from a 160X158 image to 32X32, how i can do this while retaining quality.
My end goal is to create simple bitmaps that only contain a bit of text in them in black and white.
To do this I am creating a new image and some default size. I then add the text , set the background colour to black and the text colour to white and create my text.I am using the snap to canvas edge and sit it up in a corner.I then want to resize the who canvas to be the same size as the text block created and save the image. How to do this?I have seen the crop tool and can select the area I want but cant figure out how to save this as a new canvas/image sized only to the size of the text.
I have a netbook Acer AspireOne D255e, which max resolution is 1024x600. When I try to run GIMP, it's impossible to use it, because all the tools disappear on the window.

I tried copping and stuff but I can't seem to use the tools right. I wrote a lengthy detailed version of this but figured it was too much to read so I am editing/cutting all the details out
Also the resize part. nevermind I got it figured, I just had to resize the image and the canvas follows suit. I didn't know that, thought I had to resize canvas first then image like in photoshop.
I don't know why, but lately, I don't have any options available when I go to export an image. Once I click "Export" from the file dialog box, all I get is this three-button Help/Export/Cancel dialog, and I can't specify any options relevant to the export format.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen Rotating or Resizing an image I have recently run into an issue. This is new behavior so I think I either have something set incorrectly, or it came in with a recent re-install.
When Rotating or Resizing, and setting Clipping to Adjust, it always Crops the image.
In other words: If I were to attempt to stretch an image bigger than 1000x1000 to say 1500x1500 it appears to do all the correct calculations, and does stretch the image, but anything outside the original 1000x1000 disappears.
Likewise if I were to attempt to rotate an image that were say, 1000x1500, 90°, I would end up with a rotated image 1000x1000 in size, and transparent/background for the balance of the original 1000x1500 sized image.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling (it remembered all my settings, so I don't know how much good this might have done), setting the Clipping option to Clip, then Crop and back to Adjust again (also with no result).
I've been trying to resize an image and tried Gimp 2's interpolation method but nothing happened. I increased the size to 150% with 153 pixels (I think). Did I do something wrong or is Gimp just not good for interpolation?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAs I understand, Gimp make GTK, used in Gnome. GTK provides a dialog for selecting a printer and specifying the options for that printer. My problem is that whenever I'm faced with this dialog, it's a completely random set of settings; it's not the printer defaults (specified in CUPS) and it's not the last-used settings either for the user or the application.
It's a big productivity issue when I regularly print documents and high res photos and need to change ~10 or so options each time. Invariably I forget to change one of them and have to print something twice.
Is there any way to control these default print settings? I'd like it to pick up the CUPS defaults for the print queue selected.
