GIMP :: Opacity Bar Not Working?
Jul 6, 2013
I just started using GIMP last week
I'm trying to put a watermark on an image using the opacity bar for the text. However, the text remains 100% opaque until I get down to 50% opacity, at which point it completely disappears. I thought there may be something wrong with the text layer (not sure if that's the right term.. layers and paths, etc. are all new to me), so I tried it with other tools such as the eraser and the same problem occurs. Is there a bug in my program or am I just really new at this?

I was wondering if anyone had any idea about this problem that I've been having. For some reason when I create a gradient that goes to zero opacity on either end it gets all scattered.
It was working fine and now I've reinstalled it in Windows Vista 64bit. I remember I had this problem the first time I installed it as well but then I turned the update on and it just went away before I really cared too much. Now I've got the update on and went and downloaded the 10.1 from the website and it's starting to bother me .....

In the image below on the larger element i have a stroke with 0% Opacity but as you can see the stroke is white when it should be transparent? I even changed the blending mode to multiply and the white color stroke still remains. I put the Opacity on 0% to test if something was wrong and this confirms it.

In Photoshop 6 the preview of the brushsize get almost invisible when working with low opacity, the same problem occurs when working with Dodge tool and low exposure.
In earlier versions the preview showed in 100% even if working in low opacity. Now it's impossible to se how big feather och the size of the brush without first going up too higher opacity. Can I somehow show the preview in 100% even if working in low opacity like 3%?

brush painting on adjustment layers is not working at the correct opacity. For example I have it set for 100% but its only working at 10 or 20%. How can I fix this?

When I move the opacity slider, it doesn't change until it hits 50% - then it disappears. It also shows up as pure solid or purely missing, when I try to use it on my website.
How do I get 60% opacity on an image?

I've imported some linework from sketchbook, and despite the tool being set to draw at 100% opacity, my lines are partially transparent.
I want to increase their opacity, but drawing over all the lines again would be terrible.
The lines are all a solid black (although I have another layer with various colors) so there should be some simple operation I can do to adjust that opacity, but I can't figure out what.

(I am using version 2.6.12). I noticed that when I move the Opacity Slider, nothing happens on the image. I tried that on Windows, Linux (I am using Gimp version 2.6.11 on OpenSUSE 11.4), and Mac. I read somewhere that I need to go to Image --> Modify and select RGB. But it is already selected.

I completely reinstalled GIMP 2.8 and put Andrew's Script (found here: URL....) into "C/USER/ADMIN/GIMP 2.8/SCRIPTS" (I'm stuck with Windows Vista Home Premium) running on an Acer laptop. Now the "Opacity" and "Brush Size" sliders have shown up where they're supposed to have been on the first install.
My middle mouse wheel used to control brush size - I recently reinstalled my updated Logitech mouse drivers and I'll bet if I go to "Setpoint" in my system tray, I'll be able to configure the mouse wheel from there. That's where I had to go in order to fix the tilt control in Google Earth after I updated the mouse drivers.
I just installed GIMP 2.8, with Andrew's GIMP Script FU and now I can't find the brush opacity slider anywhere (EDIT: Or the brush/eraser/pencil etc SIZE slider - there also appears to be no way to set my middle mouse wheel as the controller for the brush size). I've used GIMP for awhile and I know how to move around but I'm not very good with it.

I wanted to know what the best way was to create this? I was going to make a bunch of hexagons and change the opacity but this would take ages and be all over the place.

It does it every 4-6 times which is really really often since you brush about 10 times every 3 seconds or so when digital painting especially when shading, lighting, blending, etc with brushing.
Why does it do this? I cant recall when it started doing this but I think it was either when I updated from CS4 to CS6 or maybe it just randomly kicked in. I already updated my drivers and re-installed my tablet.

where I cannot set the opacity partway transparent when dealing with a png file and another png file as a selection flotation!!! the opacity sliders in the layers tab seem to do nothing but If I go below 50% the layer disappears!!! I can only have it 100% opaque or 100% transparent (which is when the slider is 50% or below) anywhere else 51=99% acts as 100% opaque!!!

Is it possible to set the blending mode or the opacity settings formultiple layers all at once? Ideally I'd like to select multiple layersand change the settings for all of them at once, but I can't seem to figureout a way to do this, so I think it doesn't exist?
Is this something other people would like to be able to do?

I seem to come unstuck when I apply colour using the 'Stroke Path' option. Basically I need to know if there's a way of determining the opacity of the stroke line? In some cases I don't need to have such a 'dense' colour. I want to see a little of what I've 'painted over' so as to keep some of the detail.

I was trying painting with gimp and there is a shortcut in gimp to change the size of the brush/opacity my moving the stylus like you can on photoshop or sketchbook pro.
ALT+ctrl on a mac
This would be an incredible time-saver for us artists and not very complex. If not I will suggest this feature to the gimo developers.

when I exercise the opacity slider for an active layer I can see the full range of opacity follow the setting. Somehow I've gotten this v2.6 on a Linux box into a mode where the visible opacity doesn't follow the slider full range. Instead it is all or nothing. At 50% or less opacity the layer is entirely transparent and at 50.1% or more it is entirely opaque.

I'm trying to bind the number keys to specific values for opacity/transparency of brushes, so I embarked for the shortcut key editor where I found that the "set transparency" does exactly the same as "completely transparent".
Is there a way to define what value "set transparency" sets it to? what I'm trying to do even possible with GIMP?

In the animation I am working on, I need an object to instantly go from 100% opacity to 0% opacity. The problem is, even if you use the opacity of the layer as a keyframe, the object will not instanlty vanish, even if it is only on for the timeruler for a quick amount of time.
I need a tool that will drop from 100% opacity to 0% instantly.

I just downloaded GIMP 2.8 (on Windows 7) and was using the layer groups to organize a project I'm doing. I noticed that whenever I put the layers into the layer group, nothing I do to them actually affects the image (for example if I change the opacity of the layer, it doesn't actually change). If I drag them out of the layer group they function perfectly; sometimes if I edit them and then drag them into the group they also work fine.
As I was writing this post I tested dragging a layer set to "dodge" into the group and it didn't work. It kept the dodge setting, but it looked as if it was on normal; however, I drug another layer set on dodge into the group and it worked fine.
Is this feature just broken on Windows, or does it not work like I thought (where you can drag them in and edit them individually, or edit them all by editing the layer group itself)?

When I upgraded to 2.8, UFRaw didn't come along for the ride.
I tried installing UFRaw into the GIMP2.8 folder, but I get an error message saying "The program can't start because libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

I have a Genius 8x6 tablet, and it worked fine with 2.6. 2.8 doesn't register the pressure on my tablet. I checked another thread about 2.8 not registering tablets, and it said to configure input devices and change the pen setting. I don't have a pen option on the devices list. All that shows up is is the core pointer/ mouse.

So I've finally upgraded to GIMP 2.8, finding that .abr was native. I've downloaded thousands of brushes, only a hundred work, MAYBE. I'm confused because even the brushes that are not in .abr form do not work. Also, sometimes if I try to fix the brushes by uninstalling and reinstalling there will be random ones that work and then old ones disappear?

basically I have a Genius MaxFire G-12U Vibration joypad controller, I wanted to map to certain actions and plug-in calls, but unfortunately this appears at the status of the device in "Configure Input Device" menu:
IDirectInputDevice8::SetDataFormat failed: incorrect parameter
When the actions have been mapped to the different buttons, and after GIMP has been reset, the actions do not happen after pressing the associated buttons.
GIMP website did not show an entry for such menu.
Using GIMP 2.6.12, Windows Vista 32 bit, 4 core Intel processor.

After pasting in a PNG, and it's made into a Floating Selection layer, she wanted to scale it down using the Scale tool. So she clicked and dragged till she got the right size, but upon clicking on Scale (in the little dialog that pops up with the Scale tool), the dialog box vanishe ... and the layer went back to its original size. She tried multiple times and got the same problem.
I even got her to click on "Cancel" rather than Scale in case it was a traslation error, like the translator mixed up the Scale and Cancel buttons, but nope.

Been using GIMP (2. for a while now, it's been nearly a year on this PC (Windows 7 64 bit, relatively recent hardware, 8 Gb of RAM, etc.) and it's worked smoothly up until a couple of days ago when it stopped working as intended all of a sudden for some reason.
Whether I use my Wacom tablet or the mouse none of the tools that normally allow you to draw (pencil, brush, airbrush, etc.) work anymore (cropping, distorting the image and the likes work fine though), doesn't matter if it's a brand new document or an old file. The funny thing is that when I go to the "Edit" menu it'll allow me to rollback and undo whatever I did with the aforementioned tools, even though there's no trace of it on the empty canvas itself.I tried to uninstall and install the software back but it didn't do the trick.
