.....or maybe not that easy - a slight change in the docs.

  plugins not showing
Posted by: Ingegneus - 10-13-2025, 09:06 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

hey folks, first post for me ^^. i am having issues with loading python plugins.
i have downloaded ofnuts plugins ofn-interleave-layers and ofn-export-layers. neither of them show up in gimp. the weird part is that 2 python plugins that i wrote myself do load properly. 

i have checked and the ofn plugins are executable. the paths are as described here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp3-t...s/general/ (in the proper flatpak path ~var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins)

i have tried finding out what is happening by running gimp from the terminal with

Code:
flatpak run --env=GIMP_PLUGIN_DEBUG=all,fatal-criticals org.gimp.GIMP  --stack-trace-mode always --verbose --console-messages 2>&1 | tee ~/gimp3-full-debug.log


but the log doesnt mention neither my loaded plugins nor the problematic ones.

thanks in advance for your help!
 


system info: 
64-bit intel i17 1260P
32GB memory
fedora 42
gimp 3.0.6 flatpak version

  shift Q cursor clarity
Posted by: JohnSellers - 10-12-2025, 09:32 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

In the new GIMP 3.0.6 the shift Q hard round brush cursor is almost invisible.   What can I do to make it visible enough to see well?

Any fix that works would do fine, but also there is a refinement that would help a great deal.

I found that when separating transparent background from object, my visualizing the positional edge and of the perfectly round cursor of the right diameter increased my ability to judge the w/b painting clicks with treat imp;rovment.  

The flaw in the display is that the image I am working from is anti-aliased and the stair stepped brush perimeter is badly mismatched because the perimeter of the circle should be a smooth circle rather than a stair step approximation in order to exactly judge the placing of the paint.  In my current application of the paint, I have adjusted the parameters so that the exact tangent of the paint brush circle belongs exactly at the visualized edge conceptually defined by the anti-aliased pixels. 

If I had a smooth circular tagent parameter of the brush displayed when I work, I could place the brush so well that it would give me  an absolutely perfect result.

Sincerely,

  Gimp 3.0.6 Appimage
Posted by: rich2005 - 10-12-2025, 07:55 AM - Forum: Alternate Gimp packagings - Replies (1)

.....for ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04 Mint 21 / 22 and users who want to keep their Gimp 2.10

On my cloud storage, about 93 MB 
https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=...dPOpd9hvz7

Comes with resynthesizer heal selection / heal transparency and gimp_gmic_qt  version 3.6.2 installed.  Remember for gmic QT5 is required.

The usual guarantee, there is none, I have tried out on the above (k)ubuntu / Mint versions and it works. Python is a bit old.  If you find it does not work, easy,  delete and use the gimp.org appimage (but no resynth / gmic for that at the moment.)

What of the future ?  I think the next release might be Gimp 3.2 and users should try a permanent installation if available from say, a PPA.  Then find a Gimp 2.10 appimage for those old but useful plugins. That is what I am planning.  Future releases of ubuntu / Mint are going to be Gimp 3 anyway.

Hello!
Is there a platform where I can get ready-made shapes for GIMP? Example: triangle, star, irregular shapes.

  After using path tool - all new layers have same name?
Posted by: Joe - 10-10-2025, 01:55 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

Question. I am using Gimp version 3.0.0-RC2. A couple of days ago I used the Path tool to curve some text. It took some work – but I finally got fairly decent results. On the other hand, now when I create a new layer, the name of the curved text appears as the ‘layer attribute’ for every image. It doesn’t really have much effect, I don’t think, it can be changed – but it’s a little odd. Hope someone has a solution to resolve this. For your consideration – I thank you.

  Character eyebrow replacement
Posted by: Dunham - 10-08-2025, 12:15 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Hello everyone!

I have a request to manipulate a frontal image of a female face. The image originated from another image taken from a very old black and white photo with many flaws. Using Gemini's artificial intelligence, I managed to restore the flaws and colorize the image. Then, I did some processing in GIMP, using Curves and Dodge & Burst. It turns out that the character's eyebrows are very different sizes, and I was asked to make them the same size. I thought of doing the following:
1. Select the left eyebrow
2. Create a layer with this eyebrow
3. Invert horizontally
4. Replace the right one with this one.
I don't know if this will work, so if anyone has experience or any suggestions on how to solve this problem, I would appreciate it.

  Is it possible to edit a gradient after applying it?
Posted by: Dunham - 10-07-2025, 07:49 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

"Hello everyone!

I have a question: if I create a transparent layer, apply a gradient to it, and then select another tool (like the Move tool), can I still edit that same gradient later? Or do I need to create a new one from scratch?

Thanks

  How to remove items from images that have complicated backgrounds
Posted by: rinaldop - 10-07-2025, 06:38 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hello again one and all,

I know the answer to this is incredibly simple and I used to know how to do it but I am embarrassed to say that I cannot remember the details. I know that there is a tool that when an area is erased the area is filled with an approximation of the area surrounding it. I want to remove the horizontal orange bullet point lines from the image below so that I can put them back in at different positions.

As  always, thanks!
