[Gimp-user] Can't edit brushes ver 2.10
Hi, I am new to GIMP, well, relatively new. Before I could change the size, opacity, transparency, etc. But now I can't on any of my brushes. They are all greyed out. -- Abaddon (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

So, the first two attachments I'd like to combine, like overlay one over the other? Then add text. I'm thinking overlying the sword picture over the darker one since its lighter. How could I do that? And would I need to decrease the opacity? Also, what are some simple effects I could do with it? Like I was planning on using Valdemar font and maybe making it 'glow' green? maybe do some lighting effects? Uses some different brushes? Dragon Age: Shattered Dreams I haven't quite gotten down the use of brushes yet. I mean the Biohazard signs and blood splotches I can do. But to make abstract designs or fractional designs that blend well? Can't do it yet.

>A remake of a video I make 2014, how time flies. Foreground >interactive extraction using the gmic plugin. www.gmic.eu > >Gimp 2.10.2 gmic_gimp_qt and Windows 10. > >four and a half minutes https://youtu.be/Yu46Gs1NI34 I have a few more questions if you don't mind. 1.) Do you use the Path's Tool to cut out characters then use a blur tool on a low setting to tone the edges down? 2.) How do you take to distinct images and make them one? Like, blended or meshed.I'm assuming a lot of layering is involved?

>ouch... > >did you watch the video which explains all. Rich, I would like to apologize, sincerely. I lashed out quite rudely. But from my perspective, you were being very insulting. Not everyone takes to this as easy as you do. You should keep that in mind. Now, on to business. I followed your video to the T. But unlike your video, I was left with this: As you can see there's still an outline of where it used to be--how do I fix that?

>ouch... > >did you watch the video which explains all. Yes, I did, thank you; I could highlight the letters, but didn't know how to remove the white background. I think I forgot to hit 'cut' cause it would turn the lettering and white box transparent -- Abaddon (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

I'm trying to make a neat cover page for an InuYasha role-play. I got a picture I want to use specifically, and the InuYasha logo. I want to combine the two, maybe lower the opacity on the logo so it blends with the image?
