[Gimp-user] images breaking up when zooming, and artefacts when using tools

2013-01-21 Thread phani
i've got a strange problem: when zooming images in the GIMP (2.8.2, installed from archlinux [extra]), viewing them larger than the size they are being automatically zoomed to by default, they break up into unconnected, rectangular tiles. moving (panning) them around with the mouse so that

In a nutshell, when the selection is copied it includes the (x,y) offset from the upper-left corner of the image canvas, and it utilizes this offset when pasting back into the image. Image zoom is irrelevant and so is canvas size (mostly). For now, the quickest workaround we have to paste at a

[Gimp-user] Brush editor in 2.8 - strange?

2013-01-21 Thread Steve Kinney
Hey folks, I put it off for a while but I'm finally using GIMP 2.8. So far so good, but here's a question for the group: Is it just me, or has the brush editor's behavior changed radically? In 2.6, I kept the brush editor open in a dock and used it to tweak the current brush on demand. That, p

Hi everyone. I have just uploaded Gimp2 onto my computer after having a massive crash a few weeks ago. I had Photoshop CS4 on it previously, but I no longer have a useable software disk for it and in all honesty I cannot justify the cost of getting it again for what I do. So my question for now w
