  Paths Tool
Posted by: Andrew67 - 02-10-2025, 07:17 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Good day my fellow Gimpy's. I have been using Gimp for a while now (7 or so years) but only the basics and what i need to create and paint cars in iRacing. My questions, can you make a smoother curve with more nodes or less?
Second question, when move the nodes to create a curve sometimes the line disappears and i get another anchor with 2 nodes splitting out. Its almost like you have to hit that node in the right spot.

I am using GIMP 2.10.38 (revision 1). 

All the help i can get will be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Does anyone know of any videos that explain all the tools in Gimp, good videos, not those ones that play music and it`s done in 2 minutes.

  How to Print Large Image Across two A4 pages
Posted by: Clueless - 02-10-2025, 03:02 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Is it possible using Gimp to print a larger image across 2 A4 pieces of paper. It must be a seamless join, with a 1/4" "crossover" to enable taping paper together.

  file-heif.exe - Application Error
Posted by: AlisonJones - 02-10-2025, 05:36 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Has anyone else installed GIMP 3.0 I have and it seems to work okay but when I load it up I get this message and it stops loading until I hit okay and it proceeds to load without a problem but is annoying to go through the procedure each time and press the okay tab before it will load. Is anyone else having this problem? It actually says "click OK to close the application" but that doesn't happen, when I click OK, the program continues to load and runs okay.

  two pencils
Posted by: pencil5 - 02-10-2025, 02:11 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I have been using GIMP for so many years I don't remember anymore.  It used to be easier to use, but now I spend most of my time changing the pencil settings back and forth.
I finally found the preferences tab where all the brushes share settings.  That is a bit better, now I have 4 brushes that do not interfere with each other.

What I want is a pencil that stays set at its pencil settings.  This pencil must always be there and no have its settings changed by anything else I might need a tool to do.

I want a second pencil for using with all the weird options.
Preferably a coarse brush and a fine brush, that stay set at those settings.

The airbrush I can afford to setup each time I need to use it.

I would prefer that these be separate icons in the tools.  I do not expect to get a keyboard shortcut for each.

GIMP seems to have everything configurable, but so complex that nothing can actually be found.

Do I have to edit the source code to get this ?

  Ghostscript integration
Posted by: Leon - 02-08-2025, 08:12 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (9)

Hi, I'm trying to integrate Ghostscript with GIMP in order to open .eps files. I'm not a coder and very much a beginner. I recently upgraded to Mac OS Sequoia 15.3. I installed GIMP 2.10.38. I'm pretty sure I successfully installed ghostscript using Homebrew. However, when I try to open an eps file. I get the following errors. Opening '/true' failed: Error opening file /true: No such file or directory.

Also I get: Opening 'file...' failed: could not interpret PostScript file '/file'.

It's my understanding that ghostscript should be able to allow gimp to open the file. Would someone know what's the missing step to integrate ghostscript with gimp?

  Open, save buttons on bottom of the dialog?
Posted by: phoebus - 02-07-2025, 09:57 AM - Forum: Gimp 2.99 & Gimp 3.0 - Replies (9)

Hi all,

I'm using Gimp 3 RC2 on KDE Plasma.
All my programs (including Tb, FF which are not QT) have Save, Open, Cancel buttons at the bottom of the file dialog.

But gimp has them on top, which is super nonintuitive for me.

I know this is GTK and not Gimp thing.
I tried setting

Code:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides "{'Gtk/DialogsUseHeader':<0>}"

but it didn't work:
Code:
No such schema “org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings”

Does anyone have an idea how to move the buttons to the bottom of the dialogs?

  Recovering a logo

Hispano-Suiza was a constructor of luxury cars and airplane engines. A bit like a French version of Rolls-Royce. Came across this poster in a car show, wondered if I could recover a proper logo...
