Hello,

I've only used gimp a little bit but need to teach an autistic child to
not run into the street and other things.

To do that, I need to take pictures and then super-impose a basic no
sign (like you see for no-smoking) over it.

Any suggestions for how to do that.  I am going through the gimp help
browser now but have basically no idea.  I _really_ appreciate it.



What i suggest is just to create the "no sign" in a new file, with transparent background. Then copy and paste it in a new layer on top of the other picture:
1. When viewing the picture, click Layer --> add new layer.
2. Open the "layers" dialog: Dialogs --> Layers
3. Select the new layer.
4. Paste the sign;
5. Resize it to what you need.


That should do it. However, I'm saying it from the top of my head, so you may have to go trough a couple more (or less) steps than this.
