Who needs shape tool when we have text tool
really looks like more of a squircle
OoOOoO
I dont get it
- Type letter ‘c’ using the text tool, as you’ve already done
- Create a new layer from text
- Duplicate layer
- Transform - flip horizontally
- Merge two layers
It’s a basic GIMP knowledge, really. Don’t forget to add an alpha channel to your layer after step 2, otherwise it won’t work.
Why would you do this when the functionality is built right in?
- Open Photoshop
- Select the Ellipse Tool
- Draw a Circle of Your Choosing
- Press Print Screen on Your Keyboard
- Voila! A Fresh Circle to Paste/Insert Into Your GIMP Project!
Just use Paint and do it within seconds.
Uhhh you can’t put image generarion prompts to it. Its a photo editor!
I drew some circles in Gimp once, check it out:
Squares and triangles too
Please, I could do this in Photoshop if they added a shape that looks like this.
I know you’re probably joking but Gimp has neither shape tools nor Vector Layers.
The secret ingredients are setting up a grid and resizing to work at a high resolution, turning on snap to grid, using the brush tool by clicking then holding shift then clicking again to create a line, fill tools, and using a very large brush followed by the same brush at the same point but smaller, and lastly the copy/paste, mirror, and rotate tools to create symmetrical or circular patterns.
Tbh its pretty time consuming but very simple to do.
That’s very nice
Wow, cool!
outstanding move
some more unicode basic shapes for everyone
○ △ □ ▭ ◇ ☆Thank you for the new gimp toolbar
how i’d do it:
- open https://minecraftcirclegenerator.co/
- put firefox in second monitor
- go in gimp, select pixel brush
- draw the circle pixel by pixel
If you want a circle outline, you can draw 2 circles, one smaller and the color of the background
indeed, i could
- open https://minecraftcirclegenerator.co/
- put firefox in second monitor
- go in gimp, select pixel brush
- draw the circle pixel by pixel
- draw the inside of the circle, pixel by pixel, just as before
- go back to https://minecraftcirclegenerator.co/
- get a slightly smaller circle
- draw that circle pixel by pixel with the same color as the background
- draw the inside of the new circle pixel by pixel with the bg color
Welll first you draw this head…
It’s easy if you use the right tool.
- Draw circle in Inkscape
- Export as bitmap
- Import bitmap in GIMP.
now this is truly terrible knowledge.
I just made one, just need to merge those three layers and I’ll be done…
How did you align both circles pwrfectly and with perfect size?
I asked AI for an anime style circle and got this
anime style anything and gpt will stick a character in it
There are so many weird things about GIMP, and it feels like they add more over time. I’ve moved a layer and then tried to draw on it and had nothing happen. Why? Because the layer was created as an array of pixels the size of the image, and when I move it there’s now a dead zone where there’s no pixels in the visible image. It turns out there’s a special command to expand moved layers to fill the image: https://docs.gimp.org/3.0/en/gimp-layer-resize-to-image.html
There are times using it that it feels like a maze to navigate to just get my changes reflected in the document.
Honestly it’s not that hard to make a circle, you just use the selection tool and paint can, add a border if you want a hollow circle.
That being said it’s absolutely absurd that the shape tool isn’t a thing and triangles are a bitch
Your circle is a bit off…
…its like wonky on the corners for some reason.
Of course its an o…
Good enough circle yay
o
Astounding.
This thread has made it clear to me that I should wait another year before checking on gimp again.
