The End of Internet Immortality |

I have a few friends who have died and still have blogsites and videos online. Now g00gle have announced that all accounts that are inactive for 2 years will be terminated. Nobody knows the passwords for most of these sites so eventually they will disappear forever.
I predicted this would have to happen because the dominant video hosting site would eventually use more electricity than a lot of countries. Electricity that is mostly paid for with advertising revenue.
This makes the internet a resource for those living today but unaware of how problems were solved in the past.

Gimp 2.10.34 won't install |

The installer gets to extracting twain.exe and then gives an error that "setup was not completed. please correct the problem and run setup again."
Originally I was trying to update a previous version and got this error. In frustration I deleted the old application to install the newer one and now I can't install any version.
Help?

Automatically (re)construct an image from overlapping parts? |

I’ve seen the “Reconstructing an image from overlapping parts” tutorial and similar ones but I was wondering whether there were any tools to automate (or semi-automate) this workflow, similar to how e.g. Hugin will allow you to automate/assist with a lot of busywork with stitching photos together?
It feels like "broken" images/screenshots/etc. would be simpler since there should be sections of images with 1:1 matches that should be machine-detectable, no? But I haven’t been able to find anything. Anything I search for leads me to tutorials like the one linked here or tutorials for software like Hugin or other panorama/photo stitching software.
(Oh, and I know that I have my Gimp version set to 2.99 here, but I have both 2.10 and 2.99 installed, so something that works for either would be fine, as well as 3rd party (but preferably still free/libre) software.)

Convert opacity value to grayscale luminosity |

Hello,
I would like to use Gimp to prepare files for riso printing and for this I need to convert each individual color layer from opacity (x%) to greyscale ((100-x)% luminosity).
Precisely, this is the conversion I need:
- [color] at 100% opacity -> black
- [color] at 75% opacity -> grey (25% luminosity)
- [color] at 50% opacity -> grey (50% luminosity)
- [color] at 31 % opacity -> grey (69% luminosity)
etc.
And [color] can be replaced by any existing color. I have one layer per color.
Would you know how to do this? In Photoshop, there is a shortcut to do this at seen here: https://youtu.be/UrFq5KliP04?t=263
This is exactly what I would like to reproduce.
Thanks in advance for your help.

How to update fonts ? |

Hi there,
I am working on a project in gimp, I am using a font that I modify sometimes with the software fontforge (it's part of the project). The font is in .local/share/fonts/. The folder GIMP_FOLDER/fonts is empty. The program LibreOffice acknowledges the changes instantly. But Gimp won't. How do I get gimp to re-load/update the fonts ?
