Im newbie in gimp-user, but i have some question: How can I import the photoshop "spatter" airbrush into GIMP?

Sorry, not everyone is using potatoshop. We might be able to answer if you could explain what a spatter airbrush is.

And can anybody explaine how hte function PATH in GIMP1.3 work? The path function in gimp1.2 satisfies all my wishes:), and I understand good.

But under 1.3 this is two separated function, I don't know how to transform "one" function to "another".(from bezier in path) And where are hte buttons: "New point" "add point" "delete point" "edit point"??
(I have essayed gimp1.3.14)

The path tool in 1.3 is under development. The next release will only have a single path tool which is hopefully easier to understand.

And the new Text layer for what? What is his advantage? When I modify the text(and i have tranformed before) it will write the default text. And how can I transform the text?(In 1.2 before "the anchor layer" I was capable the modify(such as transform, scatch, etc, as a selection normal!)

As with the path tool, the text tool is also still under development. However I did not understand your question. What do you mean when you say you transformed the text? Are you perhaps referring to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110936 ?

You'll have to draw it and save as a .gbr to ~/.gimp-1.3/brushes. Default installation probably includes a brush called 'Galaxy', that might be similar? Otherwise experiment with a regular unsharp brush and try using the dissolve function on it. It will make a nice scattered brush that might be what you're looking for.

The bezier curve tool, same thing as path tool really, is under a rewrite. Don't try to figure it out just yet.

The text tool is also not finished yet. You will not however be able to edit a transformed text for sure when it's finished though. gDyntext only had a rotation transfomration IIRC. You couldn't have applied a perspective and have that editable either.

And it is a bug?:
http://chocolate.inf.elte.hu/khiraly/linux/gimp13.png (I have created a text layer->alpha to selection.-> and a have scaled the selection to obtain a transfformed text!)

It's really hard to say what you mean here. The abstract foobar image gelped a little ;) If you want to scale text, use the text tool properties, don't scale the rendered result.

Oops sorry, that was ment to be dissolve blending mode. It's in the tool's options.

one of the Gnome Artists made better smoke, imo. might be better to ask him how he did this.

most of the gimp artists use noise for this sort of artwork. TheGIMP is still stronger than Photoshop, and the methods that first worked with gimp still work better, imo.

the gimp artists start with a lot of noise, and then figure out how to remove that in such a way that only the right noise is left.
