How would you go on from this text to create that kind of effect? What sequence of filters should I follow? I figure that it needs noise over the top at the end. Should I make the font white to start with? and should I do it on a background? Any help appreciated. Thanks

Im trying to leave the left side of the GIF transparent. However when it exports it is all black. I made sure every layer has an alpha channel and it still doesnt work. Ive double checked and reopened the gif in gimp after it is exported and it just comes back as black... just in case it was the image viewer showing up.

Also having troubles with the bucket tool. Whenever I try to change the color for the bucket tool, it only replaces the colors within the image/gif. Rather then letting me just create a new color to use wherever I want.

Thank you if you can help.

I downloaded a spiral shape from google, when opening it in gimp it's partially transparent. I tried looking it up but all solutions point to adjusting the opacity slider above the layer list, but it's already all the way up...

How can I fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The last few days, I have been editing photos like I have always been doing. Nothing complicated. Rotating and cropping. The difference is that simply exporting a picture, without editing anything, corrupts the file in a way that it makes it unusable with any program. I just can't open/look at them anymore.

I am on Linux so I get with Eye of Gnome:

Remote error: org.gnome.glycin.Error.LoadingError: glycin-loaders/glycin-image-rs/src/main.rs:312:54: Format error decoding Jpeg: "Parsing of the following header DAC is not supported,cannot continue"

stderr: Setting process memory limit

and on Ranger

broken data stream when reading image file

What's going on?
