"Yet another [GREAT] tutorial…" Thank you!

Brilliant tutorial! Thank you so much for your effort and great content. Extremely grateful!

Thanks Michael for this very, very useful tutorial. You convinced me. From now on, I will no longer use the Intelligent Scissors Select Tool, but only the fantastic Path Tool!

Great tutorial. Gimp keeps getting better and better. The more I learn it, the more I love it.

Thank you for making this video! Excellent tutorial!!

Impressive video! Thanks for all the specific detail.

Good overall tutorial. Going over it several times to get it all down. This tool can do a lot.

This was eye opening. Thanks!

dude, thank you! I wish I have seen this before and not learning the hard hard way! cheers for the text along path! Had no idea...

Thanks for this tutorial. This has solved a problem that I've been struggling with in map design for some time. I'll definitely check out the gimpschool stuff

Thank you! This video helps me so much

Thank you for putting these tuts up...I appreciate them & no doubt a great many others do also. Yes, I am a former Photoshop user...started messing with it back in the 90's, when you could buy the _program_ & it didn't cost an arm & a leg. I got to maybe journeyman capability...mid-level. I was beyond the basics but no guru (tended to have problems using masks, though). We all know what happened when Adobe got too big for its britches... Finally they switched to that obscene subscription model. Had been doing basic stuff with GIMP for almost a year since my last computer with a ghetto copy of Creative Suite died (yes, I admit it. Don't tell me everyone has shelled out thousand$ for programs with ridiculously bloated code). Once Adobe rolled out that subscription bullshit I said enough was enough. Got a new machine late last year & was happy to see how GIMP has evolved.

Super useful video! Thanks

i can't close the path, I'm on a mac using the tab and when I press control and the first point it just shows tool options and stuff, what can I do?

Can I copy the path in different program such as Auto CAD?

Thanks for the tutorial . I'm looking to make an old-style map in gimp. I am looking to create a map with edges with the effect of concentric coastlines to give a depth contour effect and I read that this tool is used. Is it possible that in the future you can do a tutorial about creating old style maps? I'm a geography teacher and I want to recreate a map of my country Panama about the incursion of the real pirates of the Caribbean and I want to do it in the old style. I want to make the coasts with old style, depth contour or, simple lines or ripples lines

I went back to my sealed selection like you did at 13:23 and I wanted to then fill it but it wouldn't. Any idea why?

You got one for making the interface like yours? I cant see what everything is.

Hi Michael, do you know if there's a function in GIMP which is like the brush tool recording in Photoshop?

One question? Is there a feather feature in the path selection to avoid a hard edge when the object is pasted on a background image. Great tutorial!

Couldn't find my question on google so thought I'd ask on this video that has been helpful to me. For some reason when I paste my path on an image, it doesn't show the path outline at all. The path appears in the path dialog box but as a blank white box. When I paste this path onto other images I don't have this problem. Does anyone know what might be the issue here?

10:03 - Nice illustration of trade-off dilemma re how closely to mask strands, tufts, locks of hair - my (would-be perfectionist's) "nightmare" !

you sound like you're internally screaming but thank you so much for this ♥

Davies great video and excellent tutorial, quick question, after creating the path can it be sliced half way through the line? for example, if I draw one straight line with a node on each end, can i click on the middle of the path and cut it in half? or for example can I delete a line between two nodes? thanks in advance

@DaviesMediaDesign

5 жыл бұрын

Any time you delete a node in GIMP, it will simply connect the remaining nodes together with a new line segment. It will not cut the node in half. However, when drawing nodes, you can hold the shift key and click to create a break in the path between the last node you drew and a new node. But you cannot do this after you have already drawn the path. You could always create a selection from your path, and draw a new selection (using something like the Free Select Tool) in "subtract from current selection" mode, then create a new path from that selection. The path would then be sliced wherever you subtracted the selection. I hope that makes sense.

My favorite way yo outline a subject with paths is to free select the object and turn it into a path. Another easy way imo is to make a layer mask and paint out everything outside of the object, then color select the full opacity part of the mask and turn that selection into a path.

Hey man I really like your videos because the way you explain are really good . but I want to ask you if you can do also short videos for the tools in gimp like 5 minutes long videos so people who just want to learn how to use it can see it . thnx man

I love GIMP, but the only thing I don't like is how you gotta relearn a bunch of stuff since it's not very standardized. It's been an adventure learning it though! Thank you.

i am using 2.10 gimp i am trying to use path tools but its not selection.please what i need to do. thank you

so apparently ive been using paths in gimp for 2 years now and never knew how to save it. Thanks now i know

Does anyone know a way to flip a path (horizontally or vertically)? I keep needing this feature but I've never found how to do it or if it is possible.

Great vid - you missed how to delete a node but I looked it up - shift and ctrl together and click on the node to delete.

I have to now do interlacing for my website pictures, can you do it on gimp??

hey davies, i need your help. whenever I try to select the path the error says "it does nothing to click here, please try clicking on the path element" I am not getting this. Please resolve this issue.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't' this be done more easily with the scissors select tool, since it has the "intelligent edge-fitting" feature?

@Bendigo1

You are correct , but the tutorial is for the paths tool. Using the paths tool allows more options than the scissors tool, knoing how to use it can be useful.

I need some help. I just started using GIMP. I'm creating images for a pitch deck. I have about 11 layers going on, as I'm creating a mock film poster. I started to notice, yellow-ish lines, appearing in the project. They are clearly from where I have taken a photo, dropped it into Gimp (a layer) and created a path around an object (like an actress), shrunk them down to place them in the image to create the look I am after. It looks as though the initial outline (prior to shrinking the image) still remains, in faded form in the project. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? CAN ANYONE HELP ME FIGURE OUT HOW TO REMOVE THEM? As they are clearly ruining the overall image I am building. Thank you! Simon

Is there a way to save the last tool I used to stroke a path? It always seems to default on paintbrush when I always use ink.

I know this is way old by now, but in case anyone is wondering in the future - yes, there is. I'm not sure where it is in any drop down menus, but I have a custom shortcut set for it. In the Configure Keyboard Shortcuts it's named vector-stroke-last-value. Ihave mine set for Ctrl+Alt+R, so if I stroke a path with the ink tool, it'll do the same every time I hit Ctrl+Alt+R. It'll repeat whichever Tool you last used. Ink, Pencil, Paintbrush, Eraser, Air Brush, etc or just the Stroke Line option in Stroke Path. It doesn't necessarily repeat the same brush settings under Tool Options (like opacity, size, angle, etc) but as long as you don't change them they'll stay the same. Which I personally prefer, it's handy for quickly honing in on the perfect Tool Option settings for the project I'm working on. I just use Ctrl-Alt-R and Ctrl+Z and adjust the settings in between.

I now see the light!

Hey man, one question, if i have to make a path of a really complex thing, like hair, how should i do? Anyway you’re the best

Instead of messing with curves I like to zoom in and add many points as I go. Do you think this is slower/worse?

thanks man thank you but help me with the stroke

My understanding of paths is that they create vector data. If this is true then why do my stroked paths pixelate when I zoom in on them? Shouldn't they be just as smooth?

Two Questions; how you put this litlle images in above the main image, and how its possible that the paths of my image dissapear?
