  GIMP 3.x: Editing a pdf
Posted by: brucemc777 - 07-15-2025, 02:38 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

In Gimp 2.x i was able to copy and paste sections of a pdf (imported as an image if that makes any difference) whereas in 3.x i cannot.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled both versions a number of times, finally reinstalling 2.8

Due to my inexperience i suspect "user error" rather than a bug.

Would anyone be so kind as to advise?

Thank you!

  Gimp closes automatically
Posted by: KjellA - 07-15-2025, 01:42 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I have installed Gimp 3.04. When I try to save a file, Gimp closes automatically. I have uninstalled and deleted all files related to Gimp and reinstalled Gimp, but the same problem persists, windows 11

  Is This Possible ? Print centering and scaling issue
Posted by: Clueless - 07-15-2025, 12:28 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I am trying to get this image to centre on a custom sized piece of paper 210mm x 99mm (its for sublimation onto a coffee mug) 

I have an Epson printer and have changed all the settings to what I believe are the correct ones, - user defined paper size, fit to page, centre etc.

Currently I print the images on A4 sized paper and cut them down, this is wasteful and expensive !

The paper supplier says its not possible to print this using GIMP due to centering and scaling bugs, and has suggested I change photo manipulation software which I don't want to do as its taken me a year to fumble my way around Gimp ! 

Plus the fact it would cost me £67 for the new software just to do one job  Angry 

Thanks in advance from the UK

  Color is not translating correctly
Posted by: Mfrench4712 - 07-14-2025, 04:00 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

New user to Gimp.  So if there is something more I need to provide, let me know.

Gimp Version:  3.0.4
OS:  Windows 10
Attempting to use the Color/Hue Saturation feature to isolate one color in the picture but the colors are not translating correctly.

Original file was in RAW format
Was converted using RAW Therapee 5.11
Not sure if I selected the correct options, but the yellow changes to black when using the color/hue saturation option

See attached screenshot file

Thank you,

Margaret

  Endianess of pixel data in a Python region for gimp 2.10.
Posted by: teapot - 07-14-2025, 02:49 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (5)

For gimp 2.10, is my understanding correct?

Given a region's bytes from a layer ‘l’:

    r = l.get_pixel_rgn(0, 0, w, h)
    rb = r[:, :]

I think rb will hold the bytes of the channel's values in the machine's native endianess because:

- a region maps onto tiles,
- getting the tile's pixels uses a simple memcpy(), and
- a tile's pixels are in the native endianess.

I'm aware tile data in an XCF file is big-endian from
https://testing.developer.gimp.org/core/...ganization
But I'm interested in what's in memory and guaranteed to be seen through slicing a Python region into a string of bytes.

Hello! First time posting. Just started using GIMP again and downloaded the latest version, 3.0.4. It keeps crashing on me? All i'm doing is paning, zooming, and erasing, pretty simple stuff. This is the error I get, I have no idea how to interpret this:

  cannot find instructions for converting .svg to .ggr
Posted by: Logansfury - 07-13-2025, 11:04 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hello,

Some time ago, I found an inkscape file of metal graidents. I used boxySVG on linux to separate them into individual .svg files, then, somehow, I got all these .svg files converted in GIMP 2.10 into .ggr files.

I have been all over the net for hours, I cannot find the instructions I followed to convert these .svg files. Can anyone please  help?

  Edge detect leaves invisible layers
Posted by: marty39 - 07-13-2025, 09:34 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.99 & Gimp 3.0 - Replies (3)

I'm using Gimp 3.04 in macOS. I have a color photo, I desaturate and apply one of the edge-detect filters. The edges come out white on dark, I want black edges on a light background, so I invert colors. I still have white edges on a dark background but they have moved a little. It acts like there is more than one layer and I'm only inverting one of them. So I apply flatten image, and then color invert. Now I get the expected result, dark edges on a light background.

This happens with all the different edge detect filters. It did not happen in Gimp 2.x. Something changed and I want it fixed. Preferably merge those layers, as apparently happened in Gimp 2.x, or at least show the layers in the layers panel.

  Blur/Sharp tool
Posted by: AWysy - 07-10-2025, 04:59 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Hi,
Just started to use GIMP.  I am making my first experiences.
I have one question concerning Blur/Sharpen tool.   After blurring and switching to sharpening the blurred part does not "return" to the original by applying the sharpen too.  However after the sharpening, blurring functions.  Is this normal, or some of the settings need to be changed.?
Thank you
