Hello @all,

i'm new to Gimp and i need already your help, please.

My operating system is EndeavourOS/Arch Linux with linux kernel 6.19.9.
I'm using Gimp 3.2.0-1 on an old AMD cpu, but i don't know if it's 32 or 64 bit.

How do i install Ghostscript on my computer then?

My problem:
I can open an .eps-file, but can not change height or width (px). Only one given width and height is possible.


Thank you and have a nice sunday!

Greetings,
pk5ive.

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I usually search GitHub, I would use Pling too but it's usually outdated. I've also searched this forum, thinking this would be the place where every theme creator announce their themes, but I can't seem to find many. And Google isn't ideal either.

Does anyone have better ideas for searching?

(I'm looking for themes because I plan to make my own and want to look at references)

Thanks!

Rich, with many tears shed and not a small amount of regret, I've decided to leave your personally altered Gimp 2.10.38 and 3.0 AppImages behind while upgrading my OS to Mint 22.3 from 22.2.

You many remember that I could no longer enter text of any type in any dialog boxes of those AppImages after the upgrade to Mint 22.3. Not wanting to lag behind on Mint releases, I decided to start using the official Gimp 3.2 AppImage from Gimp.org.

Since I'm not using Debian Trixie 13 or better, many things in this 3.2 AppImage don't work and I expected that and would like to check with you one more time to make sure I'm up on all the latest news.

Is there currently anyway possible for a user of Mint 22.3, based on Ubuntu 24.04 Noble, to have a functioning G'Mic plugin for Gimp while using the official 3.2 AppImage for those who don't use flatpaks, snaps, debs, or ppa's?  G'Mic has just the Debian 13 and Ubuntu 25.04 Plucky "plugin" downloads available. 

Same question for the Resynthesizer plugin. I think I know the answers already, I just wanted to double check with you to make sure I'm not missing out on anyting.

...icon for tool options. Instead this has been removed and tool that is in use is used instead. 

Hi all,

I've just released a parametric masking plug-in for GIMP 3 and wanted to share it here.

The plug-in creates a layer mask from one of four source channels: Red, Green, Blue, or Luminance. You shape the mask using a tone curve with a live histogram. Drag points up to include tones, drag them down to exclude them. The canvas updates live as you work.

The curve approach gives you precise, automatically feathered control over the mask. Target midtones, create double peaks, or invert regions entirely. Since photographers already think in curves, there's no new mental model to learn.

The idea was inspired by Yasuo Ohnishi's parametric masking work for GIMP 3. My plug-in takes a different direction, using a curve editor instead of sliders.

A few highlights:

- Red, Green, Blue, and Luminance channel support
- Live preview on the canvas
- Whole-image mode and single-layer mode
- Non-destructive: works on a new layer, never touches the original
- Available in 14 languages
- Runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS

Happy to answer questions. Feedback and bug reports are very welcome.

According to this article, there are severe security flaws in Gimp > 3.2
https://www.heise.de/news/Gimp-Update-sc...14979.html

We installed Gimp with the systempackage that come along with Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.2

As this is a severe security flaw, do you think that the maintenance team of Linux Mint will update the systempackages to the patched version or would we have to upgrade to a higher Mint version in order to achieve this?

I have been using GIMP for several years, using Win10. Recently I was forced to upgrade to Win11 on a new computer, and so far it's OK, & I'm getting used to its intrusive nature.

One of the first programs installed was GIMP, the previous version to the current new 3.2.0, and it was working normally. Today I have a time-urgent project to finish so I started up GIMP, and was greeted with the Update screen, Update to Ver 3.2.0. 

This has happened frequently, and there had previously been no problem, so I had no hesitation in upgrading, installed, rebooted, and restarted, hoping to get to work.

Usually GIMP reflects the Windows file structure, directories, sub-directories and file names, each in alphabetical order respectively. This time, it was screwed! All the folders and file names were in alphabetical order but all mixed together [see screen shot.] It was impossible to work with, so I closed everything, rebooted, hoping for a rearrangement. Nada. Nope. Still screwed.

I uninstalled GIMP, re-downloaded the setup file, reinstalled, rebooted, and opened GIMP - nope, still screwed.

I'm not a programming person, I can't delve into the code and fix anything, I'm just a lowly appreciative artistic user of GIMP.

What's wrong here? Is it the new version? Or Win11? Or me?? See screen shot.

Can someone tell me how to color bevel text? Everytime I use bevel in filter and then curves, it’s a lot more harder to get something satisfactory than using Chrome. Below are two links to
Pinterest for what im trying to to create.

Hello all. I enjoy RC racing. I need to make some number decals. When I make them in GIMP 3.08 revision 2 and print the images onto transparent decals, the graphics are way too transparent. I'm not sure what information you need, so here is the basic:
Windows 11
GIMP 3.08 revision 2
I have an older Epson 837
At this point I have spent more on decal paper than I would have if I had had someone make them for me. That's limited, though. Any ideas?

Hello,

what are the best ways to remove the flames from the cake candles and still keep the background?

Thank you.
