Hi everyone,

GIMP defines many custom GEGL operations with the gimp:* prefix (for example, gimp:color-balance, gimp:threshold, etc.).
As far as I can tell, these are registered programmatically inside GIMP during startup - they don’t exist as separate loadable GEGL plugins or .so files.

Is there any supported or practical way to make these gimp:* operations available to an external GEGL-based application, or to initialize the same set of operations in another process?

Specifically:

- Can GIMP’s GEGL operation registration be triggered externally (e.g. by linking or loading GIMP libraries)?
- Has anyone successfully reused these operations outside of GIMP’s runtime environment?
- Or is embedding code inside GIMP itself the only way to access them?

Any insight or code references from the GIMP source tree where these ops are registered would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Hello forum !

I'm completely new to GIMP so I fear my questions will be very basic...
Thanks in advance for those who will have patience with me 

My first challenge : I have a round object (say, a large smiley) on a square jpg, white background.
I can select the object easily, but how can I remove the background ?
I tried adding a layer without background but get the full square each time I copy onto this new layer...

Just re-installed Gimp 3.0.6 on Windows 11. Upon opening a jpg Gimp shows a featureless black screen.

Right clicking a jpg and choosing 'open with Gimp' produces a similar effect. Any suggestions or help welcome. Thanks.

I am struggling with the recently added ability to use outlined and filled text. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it does not. As I am a novice in GIMP, the problem may be me. That is, there may be something I am failing to do. I click the icon to insert text and with the 'Filled' option, the text is visible. Then, I click the 'Outlined and filled' and nothing happens. However, a few times this has worked. Is it an inconsistency, being a new feature, or is it an inconsistency of my being a new user? Any advice on this will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi folks! I'm using GIMP 3.0.6 -1 (aarch64) on an X-server (Termux:X11) for Android, so that's a challenge for a start.
Literally not used the program for a couple of years(??)..since 2.10.

There is a plug-in I saved that has the following line:
menupath = '<Vectors>/Tools/Transformations/Moebius map with control of poles'
...which tells GIMP where to put to path (location) to the plugin, as I can't find it anywhere, in the Paths menu I assume the path used is outdated for GIMP3, or will a lot of plugins made for 2.10 and earlier simply not work on 3.x.x?

I just downloaded and installed 3.0.6 yesterday after being prompted to install an update. However, I can't open certain files to edit them as I get the following error messages:

Quote:GIMP Message
Plug-in crashed: "file-jpeg.exe"
(C:\Program Files\GIMP 3\lib\gimp\3.0\plug-ins\file-jpeg\file-jpeg.exe)

The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.

GIMP Message
Opening 'C:\Users\USER\Downloads\TestPhoto.jpg' failed:

Procedure 'file-jpeg-load' returned no return values

• C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\plug-ins (empty except the gmic plugin I tried to install)
  
• C:\Program Files\GIMP 3\lib\gimp\3.0\plug-ins
  

Upgraded Gimp 3.0.4 to Gimp 3.0.6.
Gimp 3.0.6 is crashing when initialising documents.
Uninstalled & reinstalled many times, removed all Gimp from PC
still crashing.
Reinstalled Gimp 3.0.4 and working perfectly.
Any recommendation.
Thankyou

Hoping this is the most basic of questions with a quick referal to an answer...

I have imported an image, with a view to making some mods to it's content. 

To this end I have created another layer and employed a rectangle select, to enclose an area I would like to modify..

I have then used the colour picker to copy the colour of the image around this area and applied the fill bucket to essentially paint over some information that sat with the rectangular area, in the original image.

Happy days...

Now when exporting the image I find a feint border to the rectangle... Not what I was looking for...

There are many variables within the fill bucket tool, I am flying blind, but no alterations to these variables change the result...

How do I get rid of that border...?

Thanks,

Stuart

   

Hello,

I hit a wall when trying to convert one of my old v2python scripts making use of curves. The problem is that the curves_spline(...) API function works in linear space, with no option to use curves in non-linear space. Designing curves in linear space is a nightmare, so don't even start me on this ;-)

Simply converting the curves coordinates to linear don't work, as x values are compressed to the left, and the result is very, very ugly. The right way to do it would be to sample many points along the curve, by applying the Catmull-Rom splines algorithm, but these splines require 4 points to work, and I have no idea how GIMP calculates the first and last segments.

It seems I'm not the only one on the internet with this problem since 3.0, and all questions of this kind are generally left unanswered, so I wanted to share a mildly clever little hack I found here. 

The idea is to transform the coordinates values to linear, apply the non-linear spline curve, and transform back the values to the original non-linear space.If you find this back-and-forth confusing, so do I, but after much brain storming and many tests I can say that it works really well... except for 8 bits integer images which really don't like 3 consecutive operations in linear space!!! (please keep that in mind)!

Here is my code. Reuse it as you wish!
