Hello everyone,

For some time now, when downloading images from the web, I have come across images of the .jtif and .avif types.

For me, these are new formats; I don't remember having seen them before.
Fortunately, GIMP had no problems opening them and allowing me to edit/use these images.

Do these types of .jtif and .avif images have any advantages over those we already use routinely, such as .png, .jpeg, .gif, .tif, etc.?

Is there any place/entity that provides this type of information in layman's terms?

Thank you!

Just downloaded ver 2.10.38 for intel to run on my Macbook Pro with quad-core Intel core I7 running OS 11.1.10. I'd like to try out the program.

The program is unusable as all the menus, even the working in the startup banner look like this:
   

How can I fix this?

Thanks

I'm planning to massively troll scammers, and part of my thing will be having a wallpaper of the Global Map with the countries filled in each with their own image (bacon for Canada, NY Fries for the United States, etc). I know how to do the masking. I just need the Global Map with individually selectable countries. If desirable, I can post the finished product, so you can enjoy it.

Thanks.

I'm trying to scale a piece of text.  I've created it, found out it's not quite the size I want, and used the Scale tool to change it.

To begin with, I clicked the Text button, typed out a piece of text, then clicked Alpha to Selection, then used the Move tool, then clicked Alpha to Selection again to reselect, then used the Scale tool.  When I finish scaling, a ghost image of the text's original position remains, and will not go away - I have to delete the layer to get rid of it every time (and by the way, it's still there on export too).

What's going wrong?

To All,

I am a GIMP newbie after 20+ years of PaintShop Pro. I am using GIMP 2.10.38 on Windows 11.  I did the default GIMP installation without any changes.

I am following a YouTube GIMP how-to for fixing too dark pics with the following sequence: Colors > Exposure > Presets. The YouTube how-to shows a list presets, but when I click on Presets, there are no presets to choose from.  In PSP, I would get a list of installed presets to choose from and then an option to save my own.

   

Where are the presets?

Did I not install them using the default installation?

TIA,

Steve

Hi there,

I've recently installed GIMP 2.10 onto a new laptop, as well as the device driver for my Wacom graphics tablet.

By default, GIMP treated input from my mouse and my tablet separately. After changing the settings as per some instructions online, it was working... well, not perfectly, but well enough for my purposes. Transitioning between tablet and mouse isn't seamless like it was on my old laptop.

I've launched GIMP today and while I can select tools using my tablet, I can't actually do anything with those tool unless I switch to my mouse. I need to be able to draw freely, so this isn't ideal.

I hadn't changed my input settings, so I'm not sure what the problem is. In Preferences > Input Devices, I'm set to share tool and tool options between input devices; then, all of my input devices in Configure Input Devices is set to Screen mode.

Any help would be appreciated!

An example, 
a color picture in the street with cars. I want to change this picture in grey excepted keeping the color of one car

Hello,

I'm experiencing some issues with the GIMP interface, specifically related to the size of certain icons and the font selection window. Despite adjusting the themes and icon size settings, some icons remain very small and difficult to see. The most problematic area is when I try to change the font; the font selection window appears too small, making it impossible to fully view the names of the fonts.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, are there any solutions or workarounds that you could recommend? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance.

Hey!

I am setting up my Wacom Intuos tablet for Gimp, and I've run into a problem.

I am setting up the on-screen shortcuts, and they all work fine, except for Search and Run a Command.

I have tried setting it to different shortcuts (I currently have it set on "&"), but it didn't help. The shortcut works on my keyboard, but doesn't work on the tablet even if it's bound correctly. All of the other shortcuts (even other keystrokes) work just fine, it's just this command I have an issue with, so I don't think it's an issue with the tablet.

The program does kind of respond when I press the shortcut. All of the upper settings become kind of underlined for a second. I have attached some images.

Another thing - is it normal for the on-screen shortcuts to only work when I press them with my wacom pen? If I press it with my mouse, it reacts but doesn't actually do anything.

Thank you!
