[Storm]

i just finished a sig but nothings working for me it wont merge any layers and it wont get wrid of the background on me render thats me problem

[noobie]

Did what i suggested not work hun?

[Storm]

thats what i was trying to do but it wouldn't work ill have another try tonight cause im lucky that im being let to answer this cause me bro is on computer all day today and im on the comp as long as i want tonight. Australian time that is lol.[/list]

[noobie]

i was trying to help someone else tonight with the exact same problem, and i even did remote assisance so i was controling their computer, but it wouldnt work.....im wondering a few things that could be the problem now.....
1....are you using vista
2...when you make your path, make sure the dots arent too close together so that they may mix together and not make a proper path
3...make sure you press and hold ctrl whilst pressing your i and k

Take a look at the above and lets see if anything works, vista might not have anything to do with it, but once my mate tried to get gimp on her laptop with vista on it and it wouldnt go on, whereas i know it does but may cause some problems.

[Ronaldinho10]

I tried to use gimp to make a signature once... in fact, I DID make a signature once, but i dont know what the people use here, but its obviously either that they have way more experience or just a better program cuz my sig that i made with gimp SUCKED! :roll: :roll:

[Storm]

1....are you using vista
2...when you make your path, make sure the dots aren't too close together so that they may mix together and not make a proper path
3...make sure you press and hold ctrl whilst pressing your i and k

1....are you using vista: no i wish lol
2...when you make your path, make sure the dots aren't too close together so that they may mix together and not make a proper path: yes the path is fine ill check again just to make sure though.
3...make sure you press and hold ctrl whilst pressing your i and k: i did that ill check again just to make sure though

[noobie]

Im all disconbobulated then :?
I really havent got a clue......have you made sure that the correct layer is highlighted in the layers, chanels and paths box.

[Storm]

yup. yes!! i just figured it out the new gimp dosent have a clear tool at all and ive been looking at the gimp site at tutorials and stuff and it says that the new gimp has problems and to download the newest one 2.4.2 or 2.4.1 but the thing is they haven't finished fixing all the bugs anymore so i think we night have to try and re download gimp 2.2 or something until its fixed heres some details i found on the site maybe youll be able to understand them noobie:

[noobie]

FC, ive spoke to 2 different people now who have it, and 1...its missing script-fu, and 2...ya cant delete backgrounds...thats all i know of so far, so i wont b getting it till theres a stable version of it hun

[noobie]

the links i have been giving people used to lead to gimp 2.2 but for some reason now, they take you to gimp 2.4

so i suggest anyone wanting to download 2.2 the more stable version, they google it, or try this link, im not entirely sure if it works though....

http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/old.html

and try the top one

edit::::

http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/old.html

[firechameleon]

Remember still, you must download the GTK environment. If your setup file worked without you getting the environment you just installed 2.4.

It's out there if you're having trouble. In Google we trust. I just found it earlier.

[noobie]

i just updated that post, so the gtk is in there now too.

Ill be using that post now for when i refer anyone else to them to install lol
