Well, I installed the arrow.scm to GIMP.
I then watched this video -
https://youtu.be/k5T4XydZo78 5 minutes
I seem to get stuck with the arrow creation becoming all stringy all over the place like it's gum stuck to your finger.
That person with a British accent seems to work with Layers. In that video there is a third box on the right where that person seems to click often. In my GIMP I have the main window and the ToolBox window.
How do I open/create that layers window with the tools accessed in that Layers box in that video?
This is the challenge. I first open the Toolbox and choose the Foreground/Background (black and white boxes) in which I can then move the mouse around in the color scheme box to set the arrow to any shade and hue.
Next, I click on the Path tool and it creates this very long line at a 45 degree angle. That’s where I’m left at the curb. I don’t see how to create the arrow head pointing down? I also don’t see how to shorten the arrow? Which numbers do they adjust in that Arrow box to shorten/lengthen an arrow?
When I create the arrow and move it that’s when I get this stringy effect where the arrow turns into all these strings all over the place and not one line pointing to a subject in a photo.
I noticed that video person goes in and out of that Layers box and maybe that’s where arrow modification gets easier?
The only way I know how to undo anything is to click Edit> Undo last task but that takes a lot of Undos (that method) to finally return to the original arrow creation.
I’ve learned I can stop the string effect by pressing the End button or choosing another function so I’ve made some progress!
Thanks so much!
