    Such a convoluted way for something that should be incredibly easy and intuitive.

      This is crazy.. They can't figure out right click and stroke.. Look, I love FOSS.. I support GIMP. But man, as a user this should be wayyyy easier.

    Thank you for this tutorial! This is great for adding an outline with rounded corners to text. If you want sharp corners, there's a great script for that, "ofn-outline-layer" by Ofnuts. After installing the script you just select layer -> outline layer contents.

    • @MichaelBrig
      @MichaelBrig  8 месяцев назад

      Lots of issues with Gimp, for sure. But it's a free tool, so I don't want to complain about it too much. In general, I would recommend using Inkscape for many text effects and then importing it into Gimp.

  • @Caliphar1
    @Caliphar1 4 месяца назад

    The problem I have is that it stays selected. I have a pic I opened. Put other pics and text on it. One text layer, I did this method. I wanted to go back and scale down a logo but when I try, the text I just put a border on is affected, not the logo. Its pretty maddening. Do I have to merge down or do something to the bordered text so it isnt being selected anymore??

    • @MichaelBrig
      @MichaelBrig  4 месяца назад +1

      Try to de-select everything before scaling by using Shift+Ctrl+A or go to Select --> None in the top menu.
      Let me know if that helps.

    • @MichaelBrig

      You need to have something inside the layers menu for the right click to work. But once an image is in there, you should be able to right click on the image-layer and find it.

  • @AlexReynard
    @AlexReynard 8 месяцев назад

    1:30 No, this doesn't work. I followed the exact steps, and I cannot bucket fill in the selection. It just fills the selection beneath it, like pouring water into an empty cup.
    EDIT: Okay, I cannot bucket fill the selection, but I can draw on it. What sense does that make!?

    • @MichaelBrig
      @MichaelBrig  8 месяцев назад

      Check your selection. It must be active or the layer will be colored fully. When you see the "marching ants" (indicates an active selection), try to use "Edit" --> "Fill with foreground color" in the top menu. But make sure your foreground color has a different color than the layer below for you to see an effect.

    • @AlexReynard
      @AlexReynard 8 месяцев назад

      @@MichaelBrig No, I'm saying that the layer is active, I am clicking on the active layer with the bucket fill, and when I do, it fills in the layer below it. The bucket fill does not recognize that there's a layer there, but the paintbrush does.

      @@MichaelBrig At this point, no. I restarted the computer, and the issue went away. So, hopefully it was just a one-time glitch. Though, I'm pretty sure I remember having bucket fill problems before. I solved the actual problem by just making a gigantic brush and drawing over the area I wanted. :/
