[Gimp-user] I can't paint a white star.............
I've got my brush. A star. Can I figure out how to paint it white? Nope. I've spent around an hour scouring documents, videos, and banging my head against the wall. The opacity is 100%. The foreground is white. I've tried dynamics off, dynamics simple dynamics here there and everywhere and still can't get a white star. What am I doing wrong?

[Gimp-user] Glow behind object without affecting object itself?
Hi, I am trying to put a glow behind an object without affecting the object itself. I have tried alien glow which works fine for text, even though it modifies the text surface itself. But I have a moon, and when I use the alien glow on the moon, it puts a layer directly over my moon making it like a gradient circle. So I can no longer see the moon as it was before. Sure its got a glow behind it, but that's not what I'm looking for. Any ideas on how to do this? Thanks!

[Gimp-user] brush went from round to elliptical?
Hi I went to use a basic round brush, one of those that come with Gimp, and all of a sudden the thing is elliptical, no longer a circle - what could I have possibly done, lol? I can't figure it out and I've spent a bit of time scouring videos with no answers What can I do to get it reset to the way it was?

[Gimp-user] Can't copy and paste into same layer?
Ok, so I figured out how to paste a floating layer onto an existing layer - but it becomes a part of the layer and I can't move it around anymore. I thought I saw in another paid program the ability to move multiple objects around in a single layer - is that not possible with the gimp? Seems like a basic function to me that is a huge time saver is lacking - having to mouse into each layer before you move an object is really frustrating and time consuming -- Maisie (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
[Gimp-user] Can't copy and paste into same layer?
I'm trying to copy an image and paste it into the same layer, but can't seem to do that. I've read the manual at this point: 5.3.7 Copy and Paste and it doesn't seem to say anything except how to paste to a new layer. I've seen a couple videos but the teachers just confused me.

[Gimp-user] Brushes can't do random scatter?
I've tried to find a video on how to make a brush dynamic like scatter, different rotations, sizes, etcbut I can't find one. I've downloaded a few pearl images brushes, and can only seem to place them on the page exactly the way they were originally, even though I applied jitter to the brush. There just doesn't seem like there's a lot of options unless I'm not seeing them? Even if I want to change the angle of them, I would have to do that manually to every pearl I put down?

[Gimp-user] Create a new brush button disappeared
Hi, how can I get the create a new brush button back? I made a brush yesterday, and today it has disappeared, and I can't find anything on youtube about this. There are 4 buttons at the bottom, the first one saying "save tool preset", the next "restore tool preset", the next "delete tool preset", and the last "reset to default values". I pressed the last one, and nothing happened.
