Hi
Gimp only uses maybe 10 fonts and the rest don't have any affect, I added the windows fonts folder in preferences and deleted cached fonts from AppData but no fix.
What's going on?

Bonjour,
je souhaite poser une question sur l'outil de déformation par cage.
Mais avant d'aller plus loin et de poser ma question, je doit préciser que je suis français et que je ne parle pas anglais.
Aussi j'utilise le fonction de traduction automatique.
Et avant d'entamer la discussion je souhaite vérifier que le traducteur fonctionne et que vous recevez bien mon message en anglais.
La communication français/anglais est elle correcte?

Bien à vous, 
Bart

I installed Gimp 3.06 (package from my distro) and 3.2 RC1 self-compiled.
My plugins (e.g. Gmic, Batcher, Resynthetizer) copied to the appropriate directories only work with 3.06...

First time posting after being a happy gimp user for many years

I am working on a project that looks way different in the editor form the export (see attached file).
I have seen posts before about colour modes when exporting but this is so drastic I am pretty sure something else is wrong.

I seem to have traced the issue back to a layer with a contrast effect added  non-destructively:
But when merging layers it looses this contrast, creating the lighter export picture rather than what I see in my editor now.

Is this a known bug? Am I being stupid? How do I get the image I see in my editor out?
Thank you guys in advance!

I’ve published a new plugin that generates the average colour for any RGB or greyscale image. It sits at the end of the Colors menu: “Average colour” (after you install it properly of course).

I was surprised that average colour wasn’t a thing in GIMP. I did a lot of research and discovered the topic generated various solutions that were all challenging in one way or another.

Then I found a thread from 2014 where someone suggested a really simple manual approach. So I took that as inspiration and automated it.

You can read more about it and download it here:

Also, I wrote a follow-up blog post on the wider topic of the importance of using industry standards in GIMP, with average colour as an example:

The plug-in is available in the following languages:

Dutch (Nederlands)
English (English)
French (Français)
German (Deutsch)
Italian (Italiano)
Hungarian (Magyar)
Japanese (日本語)
Polish (Polski)
Portuguese (Português)
Spanish (Español)

Feedback and suggestions welcome and encouraged!

Using gimp 3.0.4 I'm normally finding it OK to copy and paste a layer group with Edit -> Paste or Edit -> Paste In Place but if one of the layers has an un-merged filter the paste places the layers as individuals losing the layer group. Anyone else seeing this?

Hey there GIMPers!

So, I hope that at least one of these pictures shows up, as in this case pictures can speak thousands of words:

If the images are not showing up, here's an Imgur link: https://imgur.com/a/MDzWdOd

Long story short - I've been using GIMP quite a lot over the past couple of years, mostly sticking to the basics, but also learning a new thing then and now. So the fact that I've encountered something this disruptive I haven't seen before has caught me by surprise. It looks like a bug or a super hidden feature that can be activated with a key or key combination...

Essentially - Text Tool's text alignment feature no longer works properly for "Center" or "Right justified". It assumes there's more space for the text to the right side, but that's not the case. In my image I have specifically used 'View' -> 'Snap to Canvas Edge', so it would be easy to see that the text is not Center Aligned.

There are no space-bars, no enters, no tabs, no invisible symbols in front of the text. No Font, size changes affect the behavior, opening a new project & re-making the layers from scratch doesn't fix this. Changing the resolution of the base image does not change anything. I tried copying in a duplicate text layer from an older project and it's still haunted by this.

And the worst thing is that this seems to also affect my older projects now... So I must have accidentally clicked some key / key-combination that does something I'm unaware of now. What is going on and how do I turn it off?

Thank you!

Gimp 3.2 on Win 11.

We are now using Gimp 3 with a number of very good non-destructive filters.

But the gradient tool seems to be "baked in" when committed on a pixel-layer and cannot be re-invoked for later adjustments - or am I using it wrongly?

If not - is there a work-around to allow adjustments on an existing gradient?

I was looking for a plugin that exports all open files at once. I tried several plugins, but not a single one worked for me in Gimp 3.04. Then I tried to modify a plugin written in Scheme, but failed miserably.

Then I decided to write one in Python myself. The result can be found here:
https://gitlab.com/CowboyJoe/plugin-py3-export-all
I develop on Linux and the plugin has some nice features I missed in other plugins. It still has a long Todo-list but I like it and it serves my needs.

A user who is using Windows told me the plugin does not work for her. Atm. I am not sure if the plugin was installed at the wrong location or the plugin just crahes.

Since I dont have Windows I downloaded Gimp 3.06 for Windows and tried to run gimp under wine., It starts, loads several plugins etc. but then crashes. And my plugin is not even installed yet. So no help there.

Since here are some people who know how to install a plugin under Windows I would like to ask you to install the plugin and send me the console output where some debug messages should appear.

To use the plugin do the following:
- open a file in Gimp 3.xx
- click File --> Export All (at the lower end of the menu) --> as PNG
- select an EMPTY folder to export to. Do not overwrite your existing files!
- untick the Export generated files only (otherwise the loaded file is skipped and is not written to disk)
- click OK

- on the export PNG window just click OK

The files then should appear in the specified folder.
Please send me the debug output on the console.
Thanks in advance.

Gimp 2.10 worked fine, but then it was auto-upgraded to 3.0+ (I use Linux).

* No more Colorcube Analysis in 3.0+, so I cannot tell how many colors an image has.

* The good process for converting to indexed colors from 2.0+ was replaced with one in 3.0+ that sucks. With the 16-color CGA palette, it makes everything green-tinted. With 3-bit RGB (8 colors), it makes everything darker. And the dithering in Floyd Steinberg has a lot of lines and other distortion that was lacking in 2.0+.

* 3.0.4 does a lot of writing to the drive. About 10 MB just to start up, and hundreds of KB to MB every time I open an image or change a preference. Even 3.0 didn't have that problem.

Meanwhile I "downgraded" to 2.1 and it's definitely an upgrade.
