I'm a cartoonist who uses GIMP to create my comics. I suddenly haven't been able to save my work. I tried some of the obvious workarounds to get past this. (Updated from GIMP 2.10 34 to 36. Tried renaming files, moving pages to other folders, etc.) Nothing seems to work and I'm beginning to think all my work is lost.

I'll attach the screenshots of the messages I get.  The first one I get when I bring up a file says "Could not read the contents" Then when I try to save, it says "Error Truncating file. Permission denied"

         

I would appreciate any advice, but bear in mind I will need it explained like I am 5 years old. (Not very tech savvy, I'm afraid.)

Thanks in advance,
JT

How do I get Gimp to use Darktable to open an NEF(Raw) file? I'm running W11 (64bit).  Videos I've seen don't show anything more than installing GIMP and Darktable, but they also show it in the GIMP preferences.  Nothing about how it get to show up in preferences.

This is where the video shows the plug-in:

And here is what my preference looks like after I install Darktable on my PC. Nothing about Darktable

Hi,

I am using Gimp 2.10.34 (revision 2). My computer running Windows 11.
I did downloadNikcollection-1.2.11. Some filters are working, but not all. When opening "Analog Efex Pro 2" I get this messages in the two attachments. (phyton_fu_shellout not answeiring).

I can also see that my script folder is empty:
C:\Users\Bruker\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\scripts


Does anyone experience the same issue?

Brg.

Please don't tell me "Yes, but...", it's already insane just to accept these conditions.

Im using windows 11. I have tried both the stable and dev version of gmic.
The output files on my zwo seestar s50 is a stacked fits file im wanting to process.
However when i load up something like, Easy Skin Retouch, under gmic, i get a 'Preview Error'.
If i use a jpg of a photo it works fine. it seems to just not like this fits photo.
I have seen videos of ppl months ago using this with fits from the seestar, so not sure whats up.
Any ideas? would like to have it function.

or more precise..

Preview error:
*** Error in ./iain_easy_skin_retouch_preview/iain_easy_skin_retouch/*repeat/*local/&local/*if/*if/ ***
Command 'compose_grainmerge': Invalid selection '[-1,-2] (no image available).

thanks to anyone that can help in advance.

It just seems to bug-out and get stuck a lot of the time--just won't move--which is extremely frustrating as i then have to go and use the scroll bars like a neanderthal. seems to bug-out more when zoomed-in more.

I see there are threads on how to add a newsprint/halftone effect, is there a way to remove or lessen it?

Thanks.

Hi There

I am trying to make a flag and I have been following this
Photorealistic Flags Tutorial - Imgur
Problem I am having is when I hit the stage of displace as gimp has come on a long way since this post 2016
The displace tool is not doing anything to the flag layer and I cant work out why or is there another way?

Cheers

Forget this as I have started again from scratch and now it works so no idea what happened there

I used to use "Hue" and "Saturation" layer modes, according to this tutorial, but the GIMP labels seem to have been renamed.
What are the respective ones called?

Simplest form of question:

When saving or exporting, I am unable to locate a file folder I know to exist

Gimp version GIMP 2.10.34

Windows 10
