Sorry forgot about text, but the text tool add its own layer anyway. This might be a little simple for you, but there might be something that you can use. All layers are saved and you can go back and adjust later if required. Add your images using File -> Open as Layers Then each layer can be adjusted as required.Save your work as a Gimp. Making heavy going of this Have to confess, I do not understand that last bit, I think you must be copying and pasting. Maybe this is just a version 2.8.22 issue? When I enlarge the image I'm placing on my base layer, IT gets bigger but the rectangle in which I can view it (as a separate second layer) does not. Also, when I try to move my second layer as a floating layer, I can only see it within a rectangle.snip. The scale tool won't let me fine-tune the scale of my second layer. The procedure to crop an image is straightforward. Also: how do I fine-tune the size of these images as I place them on the smiley face?.snip. In a nutshell, cropping is just an operation to trim the image down to a smaller region than what you started with: Original image (left), cropped image (right). Quote:How do I put one image onto another? I need to put a pencil, a paintbrush, a set of music notes, and letters and numbers in certain specific places on the big smiley face I've drawn and saved. Thanks, Admin Ofnuts! SUPER HELPFUL!!! I'm going to be back here reading this as I create the rest of my business logo! Note that either method won't give a truly satisfactory result (there will be a halo with the old background).

I figured out a different way to get my pencil, but I KNOW I will be back here reading your answer, probably several times! I still have the rest of my logo to create! Oh I forgot, if you want a transparent background after, do not export as a jpg. Then if you want a black line around your pencil go selection to path - go back to the selection menu and turn off selection then - stroke path - make sure your foreground color is the colour you want to stroke. Gimp doesn't do other than square or rectangle. You will still have a rectangular canvas but the ouside of your selection should be transparent now. Depending on what you are doing you may want to feather your selection a little first as well. Then after your selection, invert selection and delete. Once the image is open in GIMP, you will need to select the crop tool. Can anyone explain if I'm doing something wrong? I'm hoping there is a mundane explanation.(05-29-2022, 05:27 AM)sallyanne Wrote: First you need to make sure your image has an alpha channel. However, this takes an extra, tedious step of resizing the canvas. I confirmed that Image > Canvas Size can be used to expand the canvas beyond the cropped area, which can get me to the result I originally expected. (Image > Canvas Size and the title bar confirm this.) The canvas has in fact shrunk to the selected area. When I hit enter, the canvas outside the newly-cropped area has been filled with black (note my background and foreground colors are both white). I activate the crop tool and select part of the layer: The image is much smaller than my GIMP canvas, so I size it up a bit. Then I bring a JPG into GIMP by selecting File > Open As Layers. What does happen: after cropping, the canvas shrinks to the size of the area selected as the cropped image.Įxample: First I create a new image. What should happen: the canvas should stay the same size, regardless of how much or little the layer is cropped. jpg image as a new layer, and crop that layer. A very simple exercise in GIMP: create a new (blank) image, open a.
