Hi! I want to erase the same area in multiple layers, and i thought to do it at once. I dont know if is possible.When i group them, appear you cant erase. And i found some old info about "link" layers, but dont found that option in version 3. 
Any tip you can give me about this? thanks

Bonjour à tous,


je suis novice sur Gimp 3,04 et travaille sur windows 10,
à tel point que je n'arrive même pas à vous envoyer une capture d'écran .



je souhaite sélectionner un objet (outil à main levée) et le réduire (outil mise à l'échelle) afin d'insérer l'objet sur une autre photo à la taille souhaitée.
.
Jusqu'à maintenant tout fonctionnait. bien et là impossible de réduire mon objet.
Bien au contraire celui-ci il agrandit.( de 17 fois).


Merci d'avance pour votre aide pour trouver d'où vient mon erreur.

---- please post in English --- thank you ---

I am new to Gimp 3.04 and work on Windows 10,
to the point that I can't even send you a screenshot.

I want to select an object (freehand tool) and reduce it (scale tool) in order to insert the object into another photo at the desired size.
.
Until now, everything was working fine, but now I can't reduce my object.
On the contrary, it enlarges (by 17 times).

Thank you in advance for your help in finding where my mistake is.

Hi! I have been wondering if someone hasexperimente if there are some visible advantages of enabling the clone and deformation preferences in the playground settings?

I'm a developer and currently making a theme editor for Nexus/Winstep with Gimp.

any interest?

Basically I want to make two outlines for an album text via making a text object -> Alpha to selection -> making two empty layers and use grow by 3 px and then fill the color for both outlines (one is custom, the other is pure black), then rotate all three layers by 15deg with NoHalo

Here's an image reference


10 images in and this process has gotten tedious and slow, so is there a way to quicken this process without making a plugin?
Making plugins sounds very intimidating and I don't know if what I want sounds complicated to translate in the code

I'm using version 2.10.38 (revision 1)

When I export as a PDF it always turns transparent backgrounds of layers to white, no matter what I try.

So I have three visible layers. I select Layers as pages (bottom layers first), i also select Fill transparent areas with background color. I also have the background-color in the little square on the left side of the screen set to black. I have a visible layer in the layers-dialogue filled with black and labelled "Background", and placed at the bottom of the layers stack.

Yet still, any transparent areas in each layer will be filled with white. Deselecting Fill transparent areas with background color will still fill them with white also, as though it's disregarding that option altogether.

Hi,

I've noticed a bias in the Select > Distort procedure such that the distorted selection drifts towards the center of the image, with more pronounced drift near the edges and in the top-left side of the image. Weirdly, the same thing happens, in the same direction, when I invert the selection and distort that instead. Has anybody else seen this? What could be the cause of it? Is there a way to correct for it, or another function that can achieve a similar effect without drift?

Attached is an image of three consecutive distorts at threshold = 0.5, spread = 3, granularity =3, smooth = 3. Threshold doesn't seem to affect the drift. It gets stronger as any of the other three increase, but it's noticeable even at 1, 1, 1.
   

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum. I hope I can find (and even offer) advice and help.
I personally need to use GIMP because I want to publish a photography book (ebook and paperback) of about 40 historical black-and-white photographs of monuments and landscapes dating back to the 1950s, all taken with the same camera at the same time on the same day.
The photographs, measuring approximately 10" x 6" (20cm x 15cm), have already been physically "cleaned" and scanned into high-quality lossless TIFF LZW files at 600dpi, approximately 6000x4500 pixels each, about 40MB each.
I'm very familiar with audio-video editing programs, but I'm having some difficulty with photo editing, which is a whole other ballgame! :-)

I'm asking for your help in defining a workflow to apply to all the photographs. I'm personally capable of rotating, cropping, and using the Heal (H) command to remove scratches from photographs with satisfactory results, but I need your help figuring out how to correct contrast and brightness and improve the final quality of the photo.

Thank you, I hope someone can help me!

P.S. I'm attaching an example (JPG format, so really downscaled compared to the TIFF files). All the other photographs share the same attributes.

Hi 

I'm learning Gimp working through the manual about 6 hours per day for a week now. My first goal is to be able to design a look for my music work online, and if possible, to be printed on paper as well.

I'm planning to press domestically my first album to CD (here in Japan) and I see that all companies have their own unique templates that only use Adobe programs. I understand this is serious professional work and Adobe is the industry standard but... still, I'd like to ask you guys:

Is there's any remote chance that one can have some autonomy and being able to do this kind of work in Gimp dealing with CD pressing companies requirements without using Adobe programs? 

OR, either you'll have to become an Adobe software user or you'll have to pay for the pressing company to design everything for you, which will increase the costs a lot for sure. 
Is this correct?

Please let me know what you guys think.
I need some reality check.

Hi,

This is a very simple problem, but when I try a bucket fill through a Python-fu call, I always get a "Fill similar colors" result when I need "Fill whole selection". I can't seem to find the relevant setting in the listed context setters for the procedure (I'm looking here). What am I missing?

Thank you!
