  Label ERROR in Welcome Screen
Posted by: Jon - 6 hours ago - Forum: General questions - No Replies

There is an ERROR: The Label Color Scheme in the Welcome screen does not list the Color Scheme. It lists the 4 Color scheme variants, Light Colors, Middle Gray, Dark Colors and System Colors

  1. This Label should be ammended
  2. Add  a section for the, missing  Color Theme, which will list the 2 Color Themes, Default and System Colors  and also update with downloaded and installed color themes that the user adds.

Shocked Layers disappear from saved files
Posted by: ink_stroke - 10 hours ago - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Greetings!

I'm new here and still quite new to GIMP as well.

During the past weeks, I spent a lot of time on learning how to use this software and on working on my first projects. I'm a comic drawer and create different sorts of printed products with my images.
It wasn't before yesterday that I opened a file to realise that one of its layers had disappeared - the most important one I had spent many hours of work on. I opened a backup file just to see that the same layer was gone there too. I was extremely lucky to have created a third file where I had put all layers together just for a mixed demo print; so the visible data in it allowed me to restore the missing layer.
I had no idea what could have led to that incident; but I've ended up creating dozens of backup files on different drives.
However, this morning, just the same thing happened again with two other files on an external HDD. In one file, the main image was gone, in another one, a text layer. Now I'm scared even to open any other files with GIMP because I never know what it would do to them! It's dozens of hours of work that are at risk.

Is there any obvious reason for that problem to appear?

In this forum, I've read that somebody who had had the same issue had made a mistake by messing up invisible and visible layers or groups of layers. I'm not sure what exactly he has done; but I never created groups of layers; and all of my files' layers are visible. I've created raw files that contain basic elements such as textfields, backgrounds and borders; and I use to integrate my drawn and scanned pictures into those files as layers (by "open as layer"). Then I use to colorise the black/white images in there and leave the files the way they are structured, with all their layers.
Such a file's layer tree may look like this:

  • Text
  • Logo
  • Border
  • Background
  • Cutting additive
  • Signature
  • Image
I use GIMP 3.2.4 on Windows 11; and I've got my files saved on a USB stick and an external Backup HDD.

I'm quite sure that the problem is a bug and not due to wrong usage as I haven't made any obvious mistake; but I'm wondering if there's a way to work around it. Maybe I should transfer the files to the system HDD before opening them?  Huh

Any hints would be highly appreciated!

  Gimp 3.2.4 NO Color Theme in Welcome Screen> Personalise
Posted by: Jon - Yesterday, 10:57 PM - Forum: General questions - No Replies

The Color Scheme in the Welcome screen is not the Color Scheme. Note there is no Default Colors an installed theme in the list. It is the Color scheme variant (if available), and the Label should be ammended and a Color Theme section added to the Welcome>Personalize window.

Although labeled wrong it works correctly at changing a Color scheme variant on newly installed Color Schemes that are selected in Edit>Preferences>Theme>Select Theme

  Gephi - for connected graphs
Posted by: rich2005 - Yesterday, 11:58 AM - Forum: Other graphics software - No Replies

You can make a connected graph with Inkscape (or draw one with Gimp) but for one that is easy to move nodes around there is 

https://gephi.org/

Steep learning curve as with most graphics apps If you want to add the graph to an image gephi suggests using Inkscape but editing is very tedious.  Gephi will export svg files.

  pl_hexgrid for GIMP 3 has been updated to v0.16 with some notable improvements
Posted by: Scallact - 06-05-2026, 02:42 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - No Replies

The new version of my python plugin for drawing hexagonal grids has been released.

The plugin should now be more useful for general use: the hexagons centers alignment with the pixel grid can be bypassed if pixel-perfect rasterization is not needed. Vertical/horizontal lines are still always perfectly aligned to pixels, to avoid annoying blurriness.

As in previous versions, it offers the option to create nicely formatted sample sheet, if you need to choose visually the ideal size, along with the output of useful parameters. A new output is the number of contiguous hexagons and lines the current image can contain.

Anecdotally, for the mathematically inclined, these parameters output, and the filtering ability, can be used to search for the optimal discrete fractions which approximate square root of 3! ;-)

Download by clicking on https://github.com/Scallact/gimp-plugin-hexgrid, and the link under "Releases". Download the Source code at the bottom, and install it according to the description at the bottom of the Readme.


I invite you to read the documentation, as there are a few non trivial concepts and parameters.

  Meaning of scissors symbol near layer name
Posted by: ThomasNL - 06-04-2026, 01:01 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I'm not a frequent and wel educated user of Gimp and do have a question. Next to layer name in the Layers view ther is a small scissors symbol. How did I get it there and what does it mean? Furthermore, I was using the Difference function of the Path menu in that layer. This is the function I want the use in another layer, how tp proceed?

Thanks for helping out!

  Mousewheel Zoom behavior
Posted by: ScanEditor - 06-03-2026, 07:55 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

Hi,
when I click on an image with the zoom tool, I zoom to the pixel I'm clicking on;
when I scroll the mousewheel while pointing to the same pixel, at a certain point the image "centers" itself, and I end up in another spot. This is annoying, especially when zooming towards the corners of a selection in order to adjust it precisely.

In PS there is a way to change to behavior of the zoom (Overscroll checkbox).
Is there a way to make the mousewheel behave like the zoom tool in GIMP?

Thanks in advance.

  Excessive color values in layer mask
Posted by: egrivel - 05-31-2026, 04:07 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi,

I am using Gimp 3.0.8, which is the version my Linux distribution provides. When I inspect a layer mask I"m using, I'm seeing RGB color values wildly above 100% (see attachment).

Once this happens, the layer mask (which is supposed to be the the percentage of the background to shine through) gets "wonky": what shows is not related to either what is in the layer nor what is underneath. 

I'm think that I'm completely missing something important. The pink triangle in the color picker display seems to indicate something special is going on, but I have no idea what it stands for.

Note: I think this problem starts when I use Levels to force a lot of white (transparency) in the layer mask. It's like the levels create whiter-than-white colors...

I'd appreciate any help.

  gimp-file-load not working in 3.2.4 on windows 10?
Posted by: Alb.gimp - 05-30-2026, 02:21 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - No Replies

I just installed gimp 3.2.4 and am updating my old .scm scripts from 2.10.30.
I don't seem to be able to get the new gimp-file-load to work. I have tried all
variations I can think of. Below are two pertinent efforts.

Anybody have any good ideas for fixing it or is it a bug in gimp?

try 1

                  (define fn "E:\sys_add\gimp_scripts\batch_in\BNP627O.tif")
 (display (string-append "fn: " fn "\n")) 
                  (define fn_len (string-length fn))
 (display (string-append "fn_len " (number->string fn_len) "\n"))     
                  (define image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE fn))))  
gives:
GIMP-Error: Calling error for procedure 'gimp-file-load':
