One thing that I need for a webpage design I am currently working on, is to fill an area with a pattern that vanishes at one of the border. So I am starting to learn Inkscape in the better manner I know: learning by doing. So, I used to make the preview designs for my websites with The Gimp, but I think that using Inkscape could be more productive and will open a new world of possibilities for me that has been closed till today. I have done basical things with Scribus for a local newspaper, but it is not exactly the same thing. I have wide experience with programs like The Gimp, but no experience at all with vectorial drawing like Inkscape, neither Illustrator or so. My name's Francisco (Fran for friends), and I am from Spain. Last edited by doronf2 on Mon 2:46 pm, edited 1 time in total.This is my first message in this forum, but I hope to visit it often. I'm perfectly willing to believe this is operator error, but I have absolutely no idea what the error could be, or how I can so perfectly reproduce it across three different installations of the program.Īny help anyone can offer will be much appreciated. As far as i can tell, absolutely nothing has happened. There is no gradient from foreground to background or background to foreground or anything. The white mask icon to the right of the layer image icon disappears. It seems to draw the mask as I would want it, fading the foreground image seamlessly into the background image. Then, using the gradient/blend tool, draw a line from one part of the masked area to another, where I want the mask to end and begin.

(Or BG-FG, or the BG-transparent or FG-transparent options - again, doesn't matter, as things work out.)Ĭlick on the white square that appears next to the layer image icon to activate the mask as selected.

I choose the "Add layer mask" option, and in the Tools panel, option FG-BG (RGB). Then I either select an area or else choose to work on the image as a whole - doesn't matter, as it turns out. Then take another image and add that as another layer. What happens is this: I take one image and put it into Gimp as a layer. I'm using the 64-bit version of all three versions of GIMP 2.10. I'm having a really odd problem with 2.10, both the Samj portable and the Partha portable on Windows 7, and with the Partha standard on Windows 10. OS Version: Windows 7, Windows 10, both 64-bit
