  How to let Gimp remember canvas size and "Fill with"?
Posted by: pstein - 12-02-2023, 12:05 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

I load a *.jpg picture into Gimp v2.10.36 on Windows.
Then I go to menu

Image--->Canvas size

and enter a new canvas size and "fill with"=White
resize Layers=None

The canvas size is applied BUT the new background area is still shown as transparent checkerboard.
Why? I want to see pure white color.

Furthermore I close the current picture and load a new one.
When I go to menu

Image--->Canvas size

again the initial Canvas size shows again the dimensions of the current picture.
How can I tell Gimp to remember my previously entered target Canvas Size (even beyond exit and restart of Gimp)?

  Where to Download older version of GIMP?
Posted by: PixLab - 12-01-2023, 03:52 AM - Forum: Installation and usage - No Replies

For those who are searching for an older, previous, antic version of GIMP, it's over-there > https://download.gimp.org/gimp/

GIMP did keep all its archives starting from GIMP 0.99, thus if you have an old Linux you can compile them, there are also binaries for the different Microsoft's Windows and MacOSX/macOS which is more convenient.

For the older binaries, for sure it might not work on your latest OS, but if you did kept the CD of Microsoft's Windows XP or the Apple's MacOS X Snow Leopard...  Big Grin
Microsoft's Windows binaries (.exe) start at GIMP 2.4 (does not work on Windows 95/98/Millennium-Me)
MacOS X binaries (.dmg) start at GIMP 2.8 (Should work starting with Leopard or Snow Leopard)

On a side note:
When I was using MacOSX, I did download GIMP from the Simone website on lisanet.de which was called GIMP on OSX, because he did put plugins like G'MIC, Resynthesizer, and few other ones in its binaries.
Then when I ditched Apple for good to switch to full Linux everywhere in 2016, I got lucky as the next year or a year later Simone did stop its DMGs, but you can still download these old versions from its source forge page > https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimponosx/files/

On a side note2:
For the Linux users, aferrero2707 is a very well-known AppImage GIMP maker, his auto-script did stop to work starting version 2.10.25 & 2.99.3, due to a website changing its policy about compiling, but you can still download its appimages on github > https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-app...continuous
Still on github a new guy is doing appimages recently for both stable and dev GIMP version, he call them Archimage, but as of today the latest appimage (arch) does works like a charm on Ubuntu 20.04, , it's here > https://github.com/ivan-hc/GIMP-appimage/releases
The only drawback is the lack of python2 support, but you can download the Tas_mania python launcher Appimage over-there > https://github.com/TasMania17/Gimp-Appim...-for-Linux

  JPG default export quality
Posted by: Ritergeek - 11-29-2023, 10:41 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Is there a way to set the default value for jpg exports to 100%? Right now it's 90% and I always save at 100%. I've looked through the export settings in Preferences and see only Export File Type but nothing about quality.

  Saving Templates
Posted by: zeuspaul - 11-29-2023, 10:39 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

I must have known how to do this because I have a bunch of them.  I assumed they were saved when I exited Gimp.  But now when I make a new template or modify one the new/changed template does not come back after exiting Gimp and restarting the program.

How do I save templates in Gimp?

  Enlarged Buttons within Sub Windows
Posted by: CptJazz - 11-29-2023, 07:44 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hello! Is there a way to increase the size of the buttons and sliders (see red circles on attached photo) for the sub windows for editing color properties? (the attached photo shows the window when you select Colors > Levels)

I've already adjusted the font size on the gtkrc file for the dark theme to make the text viewable on my 3480 x 2160 monitor. Looking through the settings in the gtkrc, I can't tell if I'm missing the line of code that adjusts that, or if I need to achieve this a different way.

Thanks!

Question What is the gimp equivalent to ctrl-0? (make canvas fill working area)
Posted by: zangalt - 11-28-2023, 01:58 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Title, pretty much.  I know I can do ctrl plus scroll wheel, but I'd like to know if there's a way to jump right to having the canvas fill as much of the wroking space as possible like how ctrl-0 does in photoshop. I'm using 2.10 by the way. I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong part of the forum. New here.

  Photo of person to fine, detailed line drawing
Posted by: Xogroroth - 11-28-2023, 06:59 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

Greetings all:

Been looking for answer on various sites, but all the results turn out to be very thick lined, and undetailed.
Tried to figure out a way to get far thinner lines, while at the same time, add far more detail.
This is what I generally get:
[Image: hq720.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEhCK4FEIIDSFryq4qpAx...B_AAfarriQ]

but this is what I am looking for at the bare minimum:
[Image: 6a64e7a18561b6d1660beea1fb89554e2d812a19_2000x2000.webp]

Preferably even more detailed, with all the hair strains showing.

Nowhere did I find a good tutorial for this, although, I read, there is an automation for this, a plugin, but the author did not speak of how it was called.

If anyone can help me out, please?

Thank you.
Xog.

  Beginner -> tablet & Gimp 2.10
Posted by: Nyutator - 11-27-2023, 11:13 PM - Forum: Installation and usage - Replies (3)

Hi everyone

I just bought a tablet and wanted to try it. Gimp seemed to be a good option for it.
I successfully installed my XP PEN start 03 but I didn't succeed in having brush options that match with the drawing I get with a real pen ... not even close.

Do you have any suggestion. Please, keep in mind that I'm a real beginner.

Thank you for your time

EDIT: I have maybe found what I was looking for and it could be the calligraphy tool.
