"GIFs are old and arguably outdated. They’ve been around since the days of CompuServe’s bulletin-board system, and they first thrived during the garish heyday of GeoCities, a moment in history that is preserved by the Internet Archive on a page called, appropriately, GifCities"

I'm surprised they made it all the way through the article without mentioning .webp format

I'm trying to export a project with 2 layers as a png or jpg and it looks like only one of the layers( or even part of one layer)  is being exported.  I tried to "merge down" the layers and then use the rectangle selection tool to select the entire image.  no workie.  would appreciate any help/advice.  GIMP 2.10.32 on windows 10 64 bit.  total newbie.  please be gentle.

Some persons don't like learning to use gimp properly or don't like gimp at all... We are living in a free world, so, no harm. But a little help is available here : https://www.careeraddict.com/real-magic-...a-magician

Hi,
I am looking for someone who can help me to make nice round flags as I am not a graphic specialist.
At the moment I have the round flags (europe.xcf) and I would like to have as a result the flags that look like this.

Thank you very much for your help.

Every single time I cut an image in half and paste the half there's a small line of pixels removed.

I legit do not understand why this stupid-ass program is removing pixels that have been cut. PAINT doesn't do this.

This program is hot garbage. Cutting+pasting doesn't work. Colour select selects colours that ARE NOTHING ALIKE.

One of the brewers in my local pub supplies throwaway coasters. These have a cartoon of some sort on one side. This is todays offering and a clip from the text on the reverse side.

   

Now for the whinge, This computer, my old laptop, Installed kubuntu 22.04 (was 18.04) Curses on 'ubuntu, not everything working 100% The wireless scan into Gimp using xscanimage works. My preferred xsane works fine on its own but as a Gimp plugin, nothing. Such is life-in-linux.

I'm pretty sure there have been various items in the "GEGL Operation" window which are now missing in GIMP 2.10.32 ??
I haven't used GIMP that much over the last months but now i'm on holidays...
So...e.g. the GEGL gradient map isn't available anymore.
In 2.99 it is!
I'm on Windows 10.
See the attached screenshots.

In general drawing parallel lines following arbitrary shapes is complicated, so making good looking railroad tracks in fantasy maps is difficult. But with the help of the ofn-gradient-along-path script this becomes quite easy.

Create a gradient which is one half the track and where the left side is transparency:

   

   

   

   

Sorry I don't know how to ask this properly, but the background of the whole everything, before I even try to do everything, is black and it's really difficult for me to read. Is there a way to change it so the text and icons and stuff are black on white, instead?
Sorry if this is repetitious, but I didn't know the correct term to search for.

I've installed GIMP 2.99.12 in parallel to GIMP 2.10.32. Automagically the file associations changed to 2.99.
So doubleclicking on a XCF or JPG etc. opens 2.99.
A few years ago the installer had a window "Select file associations".
That's gone.


In the Windows settings for the Standard Apps the file types remain "GIMP 2.10.32".
The App is "GIMP" but you cannot see if it's 2.10 or 2.99.

I cannot change the file types (was possible in Windows-XP).

How can i repair the file associations so GIMP 2.10 is standard (as it was before the installing of GIMP 2.99) ?
