  Introduction with question
Posted by: Signman2025 - Yesterday, 11:07 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hello everyone!  I'm new to Gimp!  Been using Corel Draw for over 20 years now and am retired from the graphics field. I'll be 70 in July so be gentle with me please! I'd like to get to know how to use Gimp to pass my time and have been watching videos on how to do things.  I'm very excited to try my luck with Gimp.  I've started by downloading Gimp 3.0.2 and wanted the G'mic and Resynthisizer plugins too.  Well That didn't go to well. I'm not sure if these are compatible.  Neither plugin works on my Windows 11 PC running a Intel Ultra 9 processor with 32 gig of ram.  I've followed the videos from downloading to installing and everything seems to go well but when I try to access the plugins they are not there in filters. Soooo, I'm here to learn as much as I can from all of you.  Please don't yell at me for posting this if it is in the wrong place...just point me in the right direction please.  Thanks Robbie

  How to change default Windows editor to GIMP?
Posted by: oatmeal769 - 05-13-2025, 03:14 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I like to view pix in the standard windows viewer.  I only use GIMP to edit.
In Windows 10, you could use a simple registry hack to make Gimp the default editor in right-click/context menus instead of Windows Paint.

This was the Registry location to change the default in Windows 10:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\edit\command

Unfortunately, this key doesn't exist in Windows 11.
Does anyone know how to set Gimp as the default editor in the right-click/context menus instead of whatever Win11 makes us use?

TIA!
(P.S., This is NOT the same as simply making Gimp the default photo handler.)

  No keyboard shortcuts—all are disabled?
Posted by: marty39 - 05-13-2025, 02:54 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.99 & Gimp 3.0 - Replies (7)

I've been using Gimp for years on a Mac, using a few keyboard shortcuts. I keep it up to date, now using Gimp 3.0.2. All the keyboard shortcuts I used to use in Gimp 2.x are disabled. I deleted shortcutsrc to create the default shortcutsrc, and all the shortcuts are commented out.

Why? What happened? How can I get back the keyboard shortcuts I used to use in Gimp 2.x?

Of course I renamed the default shortcutsrc and brought back the shortcutsrc from the Trash folder so I could have the few shortcuts I created myself. But I'd like to have the whole set.

  Black brush shows milky eefect
Posted by: blogsofwardotme - 05-13-2025, 01:37 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi, I have been working with the brush for several weeks in 3.0.2 with no problem. I am working in the layer mask to the right of a copied selection, as in the screenshot.
I am working with the black brush in the white part of the image, to remove the last traces of white which surround the pasted element in the second layer. So, the black brush should bring out the dark area which is in the original image under the mask .
If I work on the dark area of the image, nothing should change. If I run it on the white left over from  the mask (circled in the screenshot), it should expose the dark underneath. So it did for days.
Now the brush is milky as in the screenshot. My opacity is 100 both in the brush options and layers panel, color picker solid black.
I don't know what I touched, thinking of going to color gradient, what would be the default? Closed Gimp multiple times, redownloaded Gimp. Thank you.

  Change of operation of the program version 3
Posted by: brianleach - 05-13-2025, 12:22 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.99 & Gimp 3.0 - Replies (4)

On Windows 10 32 bit version I was amazed to see that the program is now located in the user data apps roaming folder.

This causes my Trend antivirus to refuse to print without being overridden and thinks it is ransomware when I try to open a file.

I am sure there is  a good reason for this but it escapes me.

I will probably need to revert to 2.10.

  Gimp doesn't recognize most image extensions
Posted by: sinergy - 05-12-2025, 09:13 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi,
just an hour ago I was using a Gimp 2.x version. I updated to gimp 3.0.2 and no image extensions were recognized apart for 4 o5 basic ones.

When I also try to export an image to a specific format file no extensions are provided.
I unistalled g3.0.2 and reinstalled a previous version 3.0 but the same behaviour is shown
I am on Windows 10

What's going on?

  New Install, Black Screen, No Tools, No Images...
Posted by: Indeterminate - 05-12-2025, 07:12 PM - Forum: OSX - Replies (2)

Installed GIMP 3.02 on Sequoia 15.4.1 on Mac mini M4, Dell U2724DE at 2560 x 1440 over TB4.
I have a black screen with menus that pull down and operate, but I have only a black screen with a vertical divider bar about 2" from left edge of screen. Opening know good .jpg(s) changes the filename under the menubar, but that is all. Same with File>New, I get a new filename but no image.

I searched the web for similar problems but am not finding anything.

I am new to GIMP and the computer as well (finally upgraded from a 2014 mini running Mojave and ... CS5  Exclamation  ). The Sequoia install is fresh/clean and I have manually moved all my data over. All the apps are also installed fresh. I tried and tried to use Migration Assistant but it brought over 10's of thousands of old detritus, e.g orphaned kexts/plists/etc. from long-gone apps dating back to a 2003 PowerMac G4! :cheapskate:

  Créer des bords noirs sur fond blanc (Create black borders on a white background)
Posted by: Ethan Burke - 05-12-2025, 08:25 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Bonjour,

[Pour commencer je pose ma question en Français, mais peut-être qu'il aurait fallu que j'utilise l'Anglais ?]

Ma question : je voudrais simplement retrouver la fonction "Photocopie" de Photoshop, j'ai essayé avec "Filtres" / "Détection de bord" / "Bord" , mais ça me crée une image à fond noir et lignes blanches, alors que je recherche une image à fond blanc et lignes noires, comme une photocopie noir et blanc...
Merci d'avance !

Yes, you should post in English, there are good web translation sites around. - rich

Quote:Hello,

[To begin with, I'm asking my question in French, but perhaps I should have used English].

My question: I'd just like to get back to Photoshop's “Photocopy” function, I've tried with “Filters” / “Edge detection” / “Edge” , but it creates an image with a black background and white lines, whereas I'm looking for an image with a white background and black lines, like a black and white photocopy...
Thanks in advance!
