I paste an image (of text) using 'Create From Clipboard' then use a (rounded) rectangle to cutout and copy just the area I'm interested in. Then 'Create From Clipboard' a new image from the rectangle cutout.

I always make the rectangle left side 423 and the width is always 1050. The top and height will vary.

I do this several times a day and it would be nice in the first step if I could click something and have a pre-sized rectangle appear on top of the just pasted image. Then all I would have to do is adjust the top and bottom with my mouse and not have to type the left and width.

Thank you. I'm very new to this and find Gimp much superior to Adobe products.

       
"Since the new update, I’ve been having major issues on macOS. When I move the mouse pointer to the drag handle in the top bar, GIMP keeps activating the tools located three rows below it (in this case, the eraser).
I also can’t close images because the mouse pointer won’t reach the buttons. This problem occurs across the entire interface.
If I switch to multi-window mode, it works, but the toolbox panel extends beyond my screen and can’t be resized.
In single-window mode, the entire GIMP window exceeds my screen bounds. I can’t resize it, and I can’t access the tools at the very bottom."

In my Gimp for PC, version 2.10.38 (revision 1), in the upper left corner under the command row ‘File Edit View…’ when I hover over it, the prompt ‘Drop images files here to open them’ appears, and under the command bar, thumbnails of the open images or newly created files appear. This feature is very useful to me, however, on my laptop, the same version of Gimp doesn’t have it, and I would like to know if there is some way to activate it that I haven’t found.

Thanks for your help

Two layers open, wishing to transform one independent of the other layer but any action transforms both. They are locked together. The padlock is closed and I cannot get it to open. Tried everything I know to do to no avail. Saved images in all ways. Tried the little tool options next to layers still nothing. Main lock remains closed, Done an update, been in preferences and restored to default values, still no joy anyone suggest any thing else please

I am a newbie, using GIMP 2.10.38

In this ice hockey photo, there is some haze in the middle mainly due to shooting through scratched glass. I wonder how should I fix it? I use dehaze ...
I may want to try some masking before dehazing?

Your advice is appreciated

After installing and running GIMP 3, at the second launch , the gimp windows is oversized... It's impossible to reach the upper part so as to resize it ...

Is there any known work-around procedure ?


Regards

edit>prefrences>window management >
uncheck both boxes under "windows location"  then reset positions to defaut values

et voilà !

GIMP3 openjpeg based jpeg-2000 image format write plugin.

Can go into master tree if desired. Might need a bit of a tidy up first but essentially works (except interactive preview which still needs some work).

Using GIMP V3.0.2 flatpak on Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon I have 'incorrect' locations shown for the user scripts and plug-ins folders.

The user scripts folder is shown as:

  /home/richard/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/config/GIMP/3.0/scripts

and on clicking on "Open a file selector to browse your files" shows that the expected scripts are there even though they
are actually in:

/home/richard/.config/GIMP/3.0/scripts

(If I add the actual folder and delete the .var one GIMP seems happy but when restarted it has reverted to the folder in .var not .config)

The plug-ins folder is similar.

This isn't a problem to me as I know where my scripts are but as the GIMP documentation says to look as Edit/Preferences/Folders/scripts to find out where to put user scripts it would confuse the average/new user.

When I run GIMP it does create the folder /home/richard/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/config/GIMP but it is empty.

Am I missing the obvious? Can somebody else using Linux see what folder is shown on their system please?

No one saw this color before because olo lies beyond the natural human gamut.
