![]() ![]() My bottom hurts from hours just sat there, trying to make one miserable speech bubble, which l have finally now sussed out and l just feel empty inside for it, no sense of achievement.Īlso GIMP: How about a hand select tool?! So, to copy and paste a Christmas tree all over the page, or draw a speech bubble saying "I am an idiot" and "Me too LOL" over your friend's photos, should be made more accessible. I'll say this about every art program l've tried (CorelDRAW, GIMP, Photoshop - but l can't even recall when l used Photoshop): they need to build the software around basic manipulations, branching out radially to the more complex stuff. As an asides, there's no direct n easy no way to just copy and paste an image repeatedly on the page, a la Microsoft Paint Then Edit -> Stroke Selection -> set desired line thickness -> Press "Stroke" Your solutions appear to be even easier, especially because l no longer want a transparent background, but with your solutions, there doesn't seem to be a tool to create a bold outline around the cutout speech bubble that l generate. I actually used another solution on the net, here: I no longer want a transparent background around the speech bubble I want to paste that all over a new image such that the speech bubble is transparent. I have the word "LOL!" in a speech bubble. Just to reiterate what l'm trying to say, this time using an example: Thanks for your input guys, you seem to have gotten the idea of what l'm after. Opening an SVG as a new image or layer imports it as a raster image ─ a situation that took me a frustrating while to finally comprehend. This route preserves scalability all the nodes and lets you edit the path. In your GIMP image, open the Paths dialog, right-click within the dialog, and import the SVG file there. If you have a speech bubble shape you like, you can trace a bitmap or just create it from scratch in Inkscape, which has slightly better path tools. Position Layer 3 within the speech bubble and scale to fit. ![]() From the File tab, open your png as a layer (Ctrl+Alt+O), adding Layer 3.Ħ. Select Layer 2 and fill the path with (white). Add a path to define the shape of a speech bubble.Ĥ. This method avoids the need for a third file, although if you plan to use that speech bubble more than once, using Blighty's method will save time and work.Ģ. Ditto on the challenge of following your thought train without seeing your components, but here's one way I'd do speech bubbles in GIMP. ![]()
