GIMP Version: 2.8.10
Operating System: Windows
GIMP Experience: Beginner Level

Just started using Gimp a week ago, so this is a beginner question. Please help, this is driving me mad and I can't get past this issue.

When I select one layer and use the filter effects in Aplha to Logo, I can't return back to see the whole image again. I know the other layers are still there because I can select them but what I can see is limited to the layer that I filtered. Clicking on the eyes in the layer menu doesn't help.

Here's what I see and can't escape from.



Please help

Perform "Image->Fit Canvas To Layers".

(Note: the Alpha to Logo scripts are poorly implemented and do not follow the conventional behavior of GIMP's other filters.)

Worked perfectly!

Thank you so much!

Hello and welcome to Gimp Chat Clarity.

Follow up question.

The red colour is a separate layer. When I add a black background layer the red gets trimmed down to the size of that dotted square as a consequence. It's cutting off part of the glow. How can I increase this rectangle that it is trimming the image, so that it's not cutting off bits of the pic?
It doesn't happen when there's no background layer.

Go to Layer > layer to image size.

Thanks Molly

You are welcome

Hi Clarity, I wanted to say under text tutorial is Beginning with Gimp-starting tutorial for new users by Griatch, It's very good

I feel that the best advice in rearguards to this issue has been given here.

Thanks animol, I'll have a look
