I haven't been using GIMP a long time, but so far I have been able to

Ubuntu 10.04 and GIMP 2.6.8. I have a total of 402 brushes, all with 
either the gbr or gih extension. I can also open and view the brush in 
gimp, I just can't use them.


Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Pet,

You can set the folder where the Gimp looks for brushes in Preferences, 
Folders, Brushes.

Gimp isn't evolving so fast that tutorials writtten for 2.2 or 2.4  
can't be used on 2.6 with a grain of salt...

As long as your pasted layer is a  "floating selection" you won't be 
able to move anything else. You have to anchor it (ie, make it part of 
the active layer when you pasted) or create  anew layer from it before 
you can move the other layers again.

[Gimp-user] Just Getting Started

2010-12-22 Thread sweetievee
I'm just getting started with GIMP 2.6 and I have no idea what I'm doing. I've 
tried doing an internet search for tutorials but I'm having trouble finding 
ones specific to my needs and ones that are based on the version of GIMP that 
I'm using. I tried clicking the tutorial tab on this website but it only shows 
me the upgrades that GIMP made to the 2.6 version. I need some sort of new 
user/layman tutorial. Does anyone know where I can get this? 

I've done airbrushing and recently tried to paste transparent words as a layer. 
However, when I want to move a layer I previously pasted GIMP won't let me 
select another layer. How do I do this? I've searched over the GIMP tabs and 
can't figure it out. Please help!

[Gimp-user] Installed brushes won't show up

I haven't been using GIMP a long time, but so far I have been able to
install several brushes and patterns which work just fine, but the last
group of brushes I installed are showing up in the gimp/brushes directory,
but do not show up under brushes in the program. I have restarted GIMP
several times and have rebooted my pc. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and GIMP
2.6.8. I have a total of 402 brushes, all with either the gbr or gih
