  Color function "equalize" is different to earlier versions
Posted by: Merlin - 08-05-2025, 06:25 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.99 & Gimp 3.0 - Replies (2)

I have been using the “equalize” function to correct images with poor color matching. 
Menu: Colors - Automatic - Equalize
Python: t = layer.equalize(False)
This worked well in Gimp version 2.10.38. In Gimp version 3.0.4, the result is different. Based on the histograms, I suspect that this is due to the processing of the images in the linear color space. Unfortunately, the results of version 3.0.4 are significantly worse (too bright), regardless of the format of the source images (integer, float, linear, non-linear). 
How can I get the results of the earlier versions back in version 3.0.4?

  Editing the Open File dialogue's recent list
Posted by: Michkov - 08-05-2025, 01:45 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hello everyone. I'm trying to customize the UI of my GIMP installation and would like to remove all the default items, i.e. everything in the yellow box in the attached image, from dialogue.
[img]     [/img]
I tried right clicking them, but the removal option is disabled. How would I go about getting rid of them?

Thanks

  Adding to a section, Shift doesn't work on macbook
Posted by: blogsofwardotme - 08-04-2025, 04:31 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi, when selecting with the free selection too (lasso) I can't never get to the end because it closes before I am finished. I tried pressing shift to ad but absolutely nothing happens on mac sonoma. I found there is "add" but I don't see it under the selection menu, neither in help. 
Thank you.

  Looking for a tool for editorial design
Posted by: Mel987 - 08-02-2025, 01:58 AM - Forum: Other graphics software - Replies (2)

Hi! Does anybody know about an open software specialized for editorial design? I know about Inkscape but I think that it's more equivalent to sofwares like CorelDraw or Illustrator, I would like to know if there's an equivanet for something more like InDesign.

Thanks for reading my question!

  I can't reveal more of the layer panel
Posted by: blogsofwardotme - 08-01-2025, 12:19 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi, I have been using GIMP with the layer panel showing properly for a bit, so I must have touched something.
I need to bring up the layer panel to reveal more of it, and hide the panel above. I found that I need to "identify the thin line between 
the 2 panel, grab and drag up, which is pretty intuitive. I only have the 3 dots to grab, and I can't bring the panel any further up. Thank you.

  Transparent bucket fill won't work
Posted by: Holographic Breathing - 08-01-2025, 09:25 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

For some reason,  when I tried to make the background transparent, it doesn't work.
Here is a video of me trying and not succeeding.
It would be great if someone can tell me how to make this work.
Thank you for any advice in advance.

  "Select all" selects all of the image, not all of the active layer
Posted by: gyepi - 07-31-2025, 08:51 AM - Forum: OSX - Replies (4)

"Select all" used to select all of the active layer, and not all of the image. Now when I use "select all", GIMP 3.04 (on MacOS 15.5) selects all of the image, instead of all of the content of the layer. If I then press "shrink selection", the selection is getting shrinked from the entire image, and not only from the entire layer.

Is this the new normal behavior? How could I revert back to the old behavior (of "select all" selecting all of the active layer)?

Thanks!

  options: can i convert an image form pixels to vector (SVG) - is this possible?
Posted by: saint_m - 07-30-2025, 06:24 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

good day dear experts, hello  dear gimp-cracks!! Smile


well i am currently divin into GIMP - and sometimes i am not sure if the one or other task could be done with the help of Inkscape-tool (too).  I dunno.


that said i have a question - can i work with an image that has (raster=pixels=image) in Inkscape!?


in other words: lets say i have a image that comes from GIMP.  

so i am asking myself at the moment:  can i transform the image form a pixel-based one to a scalable vectors image (inkscape's bread and butter)?

Do you really think that this is possible!?

Well i think that Inkscape is EXCELLENT at working with scalable vectors and mediocre with images. So my question is.

am i able to import into inkscape any pixelbased image!?

a can i turn it into a scalable vector image!?

look forward to any and all idea!?

Smile
