Or nvm haha I was not on the gimp when clicking edit! Thank you so much!!
When I click on edit on my mac then the only thing that comes up is copy and select special characters..HELP!
@classicsonic77 I already put the instructions for Mac users in the annotations. Just use Edit > Clear.
I keep pressin delete but it doesn’t work then I looked at @DJKingAli’s comment thanks
@ciaradestineesurf – If you save an image in GIMP, it saves it in GIMPs own XCF format by default. If you want a jpeg or a png you need to click File > Save As > give it a new file name, choose the file type from the drop down (such as jpeg, png, gif). But remember you should always save the XCF if you want to edit again later as it preserves all layers, and text layers intact.
I don’t know how to save the picture, I click save, but it doesn’t come out as a picture, just a file. Help?
@D4mpich Yes the link does work!!! I just tried it. You need to scroll down the page. There are two versions to download – the layerfx.scm or the layerfx.py – you need to install python to use the .py version – the .scm version works without python.
@billps34 it doesn’t work to download the layer effects :/
@rickymartin17 You need to right click the text layer and choose Text to Selection – it’s shown in the video.
when I select text to the outline of my text does not select, thank you for helping me
@10bagels READ the important notice under the video. Click SHOW MORE!! All the information on how to get the layer effects is there, including links.
my gimp doesn’t show the “layer effects” icon. help?
@Sparrisful – editing the font is shown from 2:06 on the video to 3:06 – if you wish to change the font, there is a font choice drop down in the Tool Options of the text tool.
@nadiralloyd – you need to follow the tutorial step by step – you can’t miss any steps out or it won’t work – there must be a selection made (text to selection) before hitting delete and you must have the white layer selected, which must be above the other layers – it’s all shown in the video.
@danielsplanb same here
How do I edit the font?
@billps34 If you could make a tutorial of this some time, that would be great
@danielsplanb Are you sure you have the white layer above the other layers? It must be above the photos.
I did every step but when I go to hit delete button on the white layer yes the background shows up but not inside the letters like I want
@ForeverMaryl11 – well you would need a separate layer for each frame of your animation – so you are right, you’d need to do it several times, You could use Layers > New from Visible, then hide that layer, then make changes, and repeat the Layers > New from visible until you have enough frames to make up an entire animation sequence. Then you could erase all the layers you don’t need and save it as an animated gif. It’s going to be tricky!!
@thelittlemanbeadles – if you are using your own images, you can open it in GIMP, click Select > All , then Edit > Copy. Then go back to your logo image, and click Edit > Paste. Alternatively you can just open an image as a layer directly in GIMP – File > Open As Layers.
@Humii08 If the eraser is just erasing white instead of transparent, you need to add an alpha channel to the layer, right click it in the layers dialog, and choose Add Alpha Channel – now when you use the eraser, it will erase to transparency.
@billps34 I tried a lot of time … I made sure its the correct layer, with the correct eraser … but it became white the part I want to remove … I even closed gimp and restart but the same thing is happening
What if I want to use a photo of myself? It doesn’t work when you copy the pic from the computer but it worked when I searched for it on google.
how could you make it animated?? like doing this several times with several pictures and animating it?
