GIMP :: Stop Snapping To The Guides?
Oct 1, 2013
I don't want my images to default to "snap to guides." I have guides up on most of my files because I use them for spacing my comic; I work from a template so I can have consistent sizing. But I only rarely ever want to snap to those guides.
Yes, I can turn off the snapping, but I have to do this EVERY F***ING TIME. Open a file I've been working on already? Gotta disable the snapping. Open a new file? Gotta disable the snapping. Restarting GIMP because it just crashed? Gotta disable the snapping. Every freaking time for each freaking image. Gimp won't save the setting to the file nor to my preferred settings.
How can I get GIMP to stop setting the guides to snap by default?

When adding a guide in CS2, it would usefully snap to the centre of the current layer. Sadly, cannot make this happen in CS3 except for text layers.

I would like to have my cursor snap TO guides at time but cannot find a way to make this happen. Is this an option in PS cs2?

I hope I can get this explained where it can be understood. I create and box with an outline of 4pt's. Then I want to snap the outline to the very edge of the outline and the guide, but it does not work this way. when the box snapped to the guide it goes to the middle of the outline. How to get this corrected or changed?

Seems like both should still work when snap to pixels is on... but they don't. Any reason for this?

When I move a canvas around the screen, if I take it too near the top it will snap to the top of the screen and take up the whole page with just this one canvas. How do I stop it from doing this? I guess its in options somewhere but as I dont know what its called I dont know what to search for? Also how do I stop one canvas snapping into another/tabbing into another when moving them around?

I have supposedly disabled all the "snap" features in Photoshop, however, whenever I try to make minute transforms with the skew tool it always "snaps" (often closing a huge gap) to either it's previous vector, or one of the other points.
How do I stop this before I hit my head on the desk repeatedly in frustration?
Ctrl, etc., like with the move tool, does nothing differently.

What I mean:
Draw an ellipse. Skew it with mouse.
Draw a rectangle to allign with ellipse's outer dimension by Alignment Guides (not by Align and Distribute command).
Now the aligned side of the Rectangle must be tangent to the ellipse BUT it's not! To verify, try to search an intersection point. Draw a Guideline and snap it to the rectangle's aligned side. It must be intersection point between Guideline and Ellipse but there isn't...

I have a number of vertical and horizontal guides to be placed, at different points. Is there a better way of placement rather than zooming up on the ruler area, watching the Nav coordinates and dragging and dropping? I'm really looking for a method which will I can key in the actual placement coordinates in some way, and the guide will jump to this point?

How to create my own cropping guides in GIMP, is this possible? The guide shows a central cross, or a thirds, or a golden thirds, over the selection that is being cropped.
I would like to create 2 different passport ones, adhering to the rules of the 2 countries I am a citizen of. With 5 in the family, and 2 passports each, it comes up often.....

I normally edit with the grid turned on. The rotation guides that show up while using the arbitrary rotation tool clash pretty badly with the grid and disrupt my workflow. Is there a way to turn them off?

Im new to gimp and wanted to make a GIF. I watched a few Youtube videos and followed all the steps until saving as a GIF. On the versions they used (i am using 2.8) there was a box to stop it merging layers but i can not see this on 2.8.
Now whenever i save as a GIF and try and use it, it only shows the last layer.
PS i know you need to export to save as a GIF.

While opening new picture with gimp, it asked me if i want gimp to change the orientation of picture. I accidently marked "Do not ask again" and pressed "YES" button. So now, every time i open new picture, it automatically changes orientation(rotates whole picture 90deg). How to stop it?

Just got my Wacom draw tablet working with GIMP....but now I have a whole new set of issues GIMP will not respond to either the Wacom pen or mouse then stops responding to my main keyboard and main mouse ., lets me draw a little on one layer and then just stops working. Today when I tried to configure the tablet settings in the tool box it didn't read the tablet at all. And yes the tablet was plugged in. I think I am starting to hate GIMP.

I'm creating a drawing with multiple layers, but I keep dragging the background layer by accident. I've tried selecting the layer I want to move before dragging with the move tool, but this doesn't stop it. I've tried selecting the chain in the layers toolbox, but this just locks the layers into one group which gets dragged off the edge of the canvas. Is there any way to render the background stationary?
I'm using GIMP 2.8.0

is it possible for gimp to have those windows with text(small in layers) to keep same height-width..
its very annoying to make something in gimp with a lot of layers, they become small! too small, and then when i want to delete many layers, they stay small.
I want to be big windows all the time.

I'm having a bit of an annoying issue regarding the text tool. I have a bunch of text layers in an invisible layer group. When I try to create new text in a layer that's outside of this layer group, it will select an existing text layer located wherever I click -- even though the selected text layer is invisible and in another layer group. I simply want to create new text on a new layer wherever I click and not worry about selecting invisible text.

I use the GIMP all the time and I love it! I'm not a realexpert, but can do mostly what I like.
I'm using Gimp 2.6 on Ubuntu. I open the GIMP, and I'm going along just fine, then all of a sudden I can't get the dialog box for a tool I'm using and I can't view the layers tool box. If I close everything and open GIMP again, it will work for a while.

Is there something I can do to stop the appearance of random straight lines? They appear to randomly leap out from the tablet pen curser to the edge of the screen. Pressure sensitivity does seem to work--everything works perfectly with the exception of these bizzare lines!

I can no longer make changes to one of my gimp files. Everytime I select a tool such as pen, pencil sprbrush, the mouse icon changes, but when i try to draw nothing happens. It seems like all the other tools work, i tried the following
1. made sure the correct layer was selected
2. exit gimp and re-run it.
I'm stuck.

I just opened up GIMP and to my horror it had been changed completely without my consent.
First question: I assume this was some sort of automatic update. How do I turn that off, so that I have control over whether or not I want to update?
Second question: How do I go back to the previous version? I can't find basic functions, because they've been moved.
I was trying to do a quick project, and to learn a whole new set up. I'm appalled to find that my program's been changed without giving me any choice in the matter, and then having to sign up on a list serve to fix the problem. Why not set up a forum, where we can subscribe to just the thread that's relevant to us?

Is there any way to paste guides, or, putting it another way, can I take an image, add guides, erase the image, keep the guides and paste in another image? Everytime I paste in another image I lose the guides. I want to know where I am in the second.

is there any way to create multiple guides in an image by giving the space in pixels or inches as I have to put hundreds of guides in some images and I dont want to do the standard drag and drop procedure of making guides because its more time consuming and also I have the exact pixels location where I need to put those guides in different images ( I dont want to record actions either because images are different),

A desinger gave me files with guides. I can turn them off while in PS, but can't figure out how to get rid of them permanently.

How do you get Illustrator (CS5) to snap to guides? I don't want to use smart guides -- just regular old-fashioned guides. I drew a rectangle. I divided the path into a grid. I turned the grid into guides (make guides). But I cannot get anything to snap to the guides. Also, can I control the snap distance (like you can with smart guides)?

When creating stuff I always have a separate layer for guides. I keep trying to select specific guides and they blink and that is it...can't select them? The layer isn't locked, so I don't understand...
