I have had problem with Gimp for long time already. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. Now, finally, I discovered the source of the problem. As soon as I have connected my laptop to tablet, Gimp stops working.
How can I make these two ones to fit?

Windows xp, Wacom Graphics Tablet, model PTZ-430

Hei!

Here is my photo, nothing is changed. Made with ZENIT, as a slide (diapositive) in 1994.
I know, the composition isnt great (castle right in the middle)
and not a nice thing in the bottom corner.
This is a work of croping etc.

I was hitchiking in Scotland over 10 years ago ('94) The pictures are "sweet recognizing moment".

I was taking slaides that time, with old ZENIT (if you have heard of such).....so nothing in digi.
And Eilean Donan Castle is now my favourite - that I have scanned in as well, but not so good quality. Pity. Anyway, you made me to wish to share my view of the castle.
I will do it later....when I learn how to do it

Can you tell me exactly, where are taken photos nr 7 and 8. ? I missed this site on my trip.

Your photos: Really nice travel series! but not artistic. (as well as mine)
These made me remind my trip. An excellent photo should make me forget about my experience and pay all the attention to the PHOTO.

best wishes,

Hei !

Got a solution already.
The pic of my screen is taken already when it is OK.
Just added red arrows....

I guess it was sth with inverting selections. Although I did it unknowingly.
And it happened while Gimp crached.
Story is simple: took the phone, moved the mouse on the tablet
and didnt notice that. The cursor went out of the screen.
I tried to get it back with my laptop touchpad and gimp didnt like it.
It closed itself. When I opened it again, it had the old "problem"

At least now I can get out of it. Toggle quick mask. check the invert selection. (although I had selected nothing)

I dont know exactly what was the reason...but this way worked...
"silly is to be silly"
Thanks for being ready to help!

Hei GIMP users.

Time to time I have problems with selections etc tools.
Now I found out that the tools are working but "the starting point" is out of my image - there are black arrows on the rulers that show the place where my tool is working. But the place is quite long way away from the cursor.

How can I get my tools working at the place where I point with my cursor?

How I can avoid such strange thing to happen?
It always happens when I open the program ....not while working with an image.

PS. Gimp is fun ....up to the moment when this problem rises.

Hello,
I am brandnew inthe forum and guite novice in gimp (have a book for learning: A. Peck Beginning GIMP)
I do have Gimp 2.4.5
windows XP

I know the place in the menu and in some cases everything is fine, all the selection tools work fine. Then suddenly ( I do not know what is different) the "marching ants" will not appear. And this is NOT the problem of view>show selection (ctrlT)
For example when choosing Ellipse there should appear a circle near cursor, but while the problem it is crossed by a line and it doesnt work. The other selection tools do not work either.

It must be something simple, because my husband tryed to fix it, he closed and opened different files...did whatever and miracle, it worked again.
But I still have no idea how I switched it OUT...not once! It irritates me.

May be I do not understand all the tool options? english is not my native language.

Thanks,

Aiki

are there anybody who uses GIMP ?
I am loosing the pssibility to "select". There must be some "place" where I switch it out without noticing it myself
Possible mistakes?
