GIMP :: Selection Handles On Non-freshly Created Selection
Mar 1, 2013Right 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?
GIMP :: How To Blend Selection Edges Of A Selection
Jan 13, 2013I know how to blend selection edges of a selection in Gimp 2.8.2, but if I have only one side of a selection that needs blending, what should I do?
Lets say that I have a grey box on a black background and only want to blend the left vertical edge into the background.

Jan 21, 2013I have a drawing that is 720X596 px and I have used the rectangular tool and select - invert, cut out a 222X444 px part that I need to save as a jpeg.

Nov 10, 2013I am used to making a selection of part of the image - then you see the marching ants around your selection. Now in Photoshop at this stage I just press Ctrl-j and the selection gets put into its own layer above the current one. How do i do this in Gimp? and can you set up a keyboard shortcut for it?

Apr 8, 2013I've read that to "drop" a selection tool, you choose "Select" "None". But very often "None" is not available to select, so how do you get rid of the tool when it goes wherever you go, like a piece of chewing gum stuck to your shoe?
I've tried clicking it, double-clicking, clicking outside the image, pressing escape, it won't go away, so I have to close the image and start again.
GIMP :: Can't Get Selection To Go Transparent
Oct 29, 2012That's the gif. In the upper right is the white corner I need to get rid of. It shows in every frame of the gif
I don't know where to begin. I've tried selecting it, and making it transparent, but that doesn't seem to have any affect, so I think it might be deep-set into the image in some way. It's not just white paint on top of the layer.

May 9, 2013I've created an image and saved it. It's a photograph, with text over.
Now I want to tear the top right-hand corner.
I've done many "tears" successfully, but this one is defeating me.
I use the lassoo to select the part I want to tear, then click Edit Cut, Edit Paste, and it creates a new floating layer. When I anchor that layer, it merges itself back into the original image.
In previous attempts, when I have anchored the layer, it has remained separate from the original.
What am I doing wrong that it is merging itself into the original?
GIMP :: Transparency From Selection
Jun 25, 2012I've to select an area ant turn the background transparent. Previously this was simple: select foreground, invert so background selected, toggle the transparency to 0% and hey presto, transparent background. Now when I do that it goes white.
I have tried using transparency - add alpha channel, and nothing happens: the menu stays there. Is that a glitch in y version of Gimp? and how can I now isolate the background and turn int transparent?
GIMP :: Selection Not Copying?
Mar 27, 2012When I use the rectangle select tool, hit copy, then paste into new image, I get nothing but an empty, transparent image the size of my selection.
I've successfully done this many times, but now, nothing.
my new image contains no image?
GIMP :: Why Can't Cut (delete) A Selection
Mar 13, 2013I 'open as layers' an image (a .bmp if that matters), use the rectangle-select tool to outline a portion of the image, then press Delete (or click Edit/Clear), expecting that my selection will be erased, but instead it deletes the entire picture.
I've been at this for an hour. "They" say that doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result is evidence of insanity...

View 4 Replies View RelatedGIMP :: Moving Selection Contents
Dec 27, 2013I am using GIMP 2.8 on a MacBookPro with OSX 10.8.
I want to cut and move a selection (and, if at all possible, preserve and then enlarge the selection rectangle to perform a subsequent cut and move operation.)
I've got a graphic, let's say it's a 10x10 pixel square in black. What I want to do is to add a vertical column of white pixels in between every existing column of the image.
What I thought to do is the following: first, enlarge the canvas to twice the width of the image, so 20Wx10T (original image on left, blank extension on right). Now select the rightmost column of pixels and move the contents of the selection one pixel to the right. Extend the left edge of the selection rectangle 2 pixels to the left, to include the newly "blank" column and the next column of the image. Move new selection and contents one pixel to the right, and so on, until the expanded canvas is filled and there are 'blank' columns between every column of pixels in the original image.
However, I am unable to find a way to move the selection and its contents. I've tried every combination of secret handshake I can think of, but none work. I'm able to move the selection and essentially duplicate it in another location, but not by cutting it and moving it somewhere else, leaving the initially selected area blank.
GIMP :: Promote A Selection To A Layer

View 1 Replies View RelatedGIMP :: Path To Selection Always Clockwise?
Nov 19, 2012I 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGIMP :: Selection With Quick Mask
Dec 31, 2013I'm having problems getting a selection with quick mask. What I'm trying to do is get radial gradient selection in the center of an image going to the outer edge. I open an image, dupe it, hit quick mask then click the gradient tool. I choose Radial in the dialogue box and set the offset. I then draw a line from the center of the image outwards and the whirly thing shows it's working. But when I toggle the quick mask off, sometimes I have a nice round selection, sometimes I don't have anything and sometimes I have an opaque black-to-transparent gradient circle in the center.
Do I have to click the layer icon or something before I do the gradient? What am I unconsciously forgetting? Add Alpha channel (that doesn't seem to make a reliable difference)?
I've been using 2.8.10 for a short while and haven't had any other problems. Should I change back to 2.8.8? I never tried this in .8, so I don't know if it worked reliably then. Did I maybe set an environment variable wrong when I started with 10? Is this just further evidence of age-related cognitive decline and I should think about taking up tatting?

View 1 Replies View RelatedGIMP :: Selection Image Size
Oct 26, 2012I'm a former Photoshop user. The reason I no longer use it is because of a silly misunderstanding with the NSA and MI6. But hey, that's the past and I'm a believer in moving on.
Anyway, my first inquiry here is a simple one having to do with selection. When I used PS I would at times use the wand selector and then open a new file which already had the dimensions of the selection. Thing is, when I select something in Gimp and open up the new file it still has the same size as the main image from which an area was selected, i.e., if the main image was 500x500 and I selected something 100x100 the copy was still 500x500.
And I can assure you it has nothing to do with remote viewing and foreign embassies.
GIMP :: Availability Of Gradient Selection
Dec 19, 2012When I choose blend, the tool options dialog comes up, but there is no selection for gradient (like "full spectrum," for example) available. The only option is "FG to Transparent."
I have tried uninstalling GIMP and then re-installed it, but there is still no gradient selection available. I am using GIMP 2.8.2.
GIMP :: Scale Selection Per Script
Sep 21, 2013How can I scale a selection fast and easy within a python-script, so fast as I would do within the Gimp-interface: Toolbox->Scale->set Transformation to Selection->scale the selection and ready...
First I have tried
sel = pdb.gimp_selection_save(myImg)
pdb.gimp_item_transform_scale(sel,...)
pdb.gimp_image_select_item(myImg,0,sel)
But it takes some seconds! (gimp interface method needs milliseconds).
When I omit the first step (no selection_save first), then there will be a floating selection, and that isn't really what I want.
GIMP :: Sharing Selection Via A File?
Mar 1, 2013I want a selection to persist between sessions, so I guess my only option is the filesystem.
What I do is as follows: create a selection, save it as a channel and then save the whole xcf file ( I learned elsewhere save it as a png but my 2.8 will NOT let me do that; the only way to save a png is via export). Then I close this file and open another one, then Open As Layers the file just saved hoping for my selection to appear in the Channels list, but obviuosly that will not happen. On the other hand if I open the former file standalone, the saved selection IS present.
GIMP :: Unable To Clear Selection
Apr 9, 2012However I thought I will learn by experimenting and loaded a JPEG image. The image has a white border. I wanted to remove the border so selected it with magic wand and tried the delete command. Nothing happened! I tried to google around and came across floating layer. Checked this too. Saved the image as GIMP image opened but the border refuses to leave the image. How can I remove this border and make it transparent?
View 2 Replies View RelatedGIMP :: Paste Selection Into New Layer
Oct 19, 2011I've come to GIMP from PS.
So, in PS if you make a selection and past it into a new layer it ends up in exactly the same position, however if I do the same on GIMP the selection is pasted at the top left hand corner. Then it's a major pain moving it to exactly the same place as the original
Most of my workflow is doing this sort of thing so it's real problem now.
GIMP :: Selection After Creating Text?
Jul 29, 2013I add text to an image using the text tool, after which the "active selection" (is that the right name?) is a rectangle around the text so that any edit I make will only be applied to this text.
That's fine, but what I can't seem to do is to get the "active selection" back to the whole image. If I use the rectangle selection tool, the selection appears but the selection around the text is still there and moreover, any edit I make will still only be made to the small box around the text.
I end up saving the image, closing, and reopening to continue working.
