Hello. Trying to compile old Gimp (2.6) leads to this error message:

When I try to add a gradient to the text by selecting it using " Select by colour" or " Magic wand tool ", I get distorted effect like this. Not sure what is the best way to select the text without these burrs at the edges

It is far from smooth in most cases

Looks like Osaka has been stealing ideas

I'm able to bend text along a path, but i would like to manipulate the text and bend it in different directions. I'm not sure if i'm using the correct terminology, but below is what i would like to do. Please Help!!





 

It looks like you don’t have to install python support with Gimp 2.10.xx. So I’m guessing python support is bundled with the gimp binary installers. If so what gimp version was that introduced.

Hello,

I have a GIMP image with three layers of green text and a transparent background.  I simply want to add a new white background layer behind them, but when I do, the new layer is green instead of white, and it also appears to be in the front even though it shows as the bottom layer in the Layer Window.  This, of course, causes the three original layers to be hidden.

I've tried using the Fill Tool to change this layer to white, but it doesn't work (the layer stays green, very close to the color of the other three layers).  I've even tried exporting it as a .jpg file but when it is flattened the solid green layer still covers the original three layers.

This seems like such a simple task, but I'm running out of ideas.  Any suggestions welcome!

Thanks.

No idea what is going on but whenever I cut/copy + paste a free selected area I get a stupid-ass white outline: https://imgur.com/a/g93egSx

Yet EVERY OTHER cutting tool doesn't do this. I legitimately do not understand why this stupid-ass program is doing this. I do not have feather edges selected.

When I use text along path on a circle the text gets distorted the closer it gets to the middle of the image, I'm using version 2.10.32 on Windows 10

I am currently trying to install the resynthesizer plug-in on GIMP 2.10.32. My OS is Manjaro Linux. To do this, I tried the method suggested by rich2005 in this thread. While I do now have the resynthesizer tool, I do not have the very useful heal selection tool, or at least not a functional one. Some help would be appreciated

I've found one other thread with the same problem but did not see a solution provided at all.

When I open a saved XCF file, the canvas shows with just the transparency, yet most of the layers are marked as "visible," and I also am unable to change to a different tool, cannot zoom in or out, basically can't perform any function at all. I am still able to "close" the project and GIMP recognizes that by showing GIMP up top instead of the project name, yet nothing in the working area changes. I think it may just be the XCF file is corrupted, but this same issue comes up with 2 other projects. 

I don't think this is a GIMP issue as I am still able to create a new project, and even open up older XCF files. And a fresh reinstall still creates the same issue. 

Converting the file to PSD at least shows the canvas correctly but still "stalls" the program. 

I tried to just recreate the project by basically tracing over the exported PNG in a new project but that same file appears to have corrupted as well. 

Any ideas?
