I have two different images open in two different windows, so my single window mode is unchecked.
However, I can't create two separate layer panels, one for each window. I have no problem showing a panel for each window, just clicking on the images
alternately, but I can't show them together.
The tab is detached, as shown in the screenshot. Also, I can't load more than one screenshot.
Thank you
Hi,
I am running an old PC, window 8.1 with Gimp 2.10.8, which is the only version that behaves. (Other later versions fail on an invalidate on a DLL).
I am trying to follow a tutorial, but the bloom filter under light and shadow does not exist. From what I can tell, it should exist in this release. I have tried uninstalling & re-installing, with no luck.
Has anyone encountered this, if so, how was it resolved.
Many thanks.
Please excuse a rank amateur at photo editing. I'm sure I am making a sad noob mistake.
I've been editing tiff photomicrographs with GIMP- I started with 2.x and I'm now using 3.0.
I've mainly been adding labels- letters and arrows. It's all worked great until today.
The changes I made to the images are appearing in GIMP, but not in Windows Photo Viewer, or Paint, or anything except GIMP.
I've tried reloading and saving them with different file names but no joy. I have been keeping the tiff format.
Since I don't know an awful lot about editing, I haven't been changing any of the default settings when I open or save the images.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this are greatly appreciated!
In using the brush and clone tool sometimes I encounter the problem of the colour or area I am cloning not being 100% opaque. I make sure there are no selections that could be the problem, also make sure that in the tool options it is set to 100% opacity & reset the tool options. I have not encountered this in vs 3 yet. Only in 2.10 but all was going smoothly originally so I'm unsure what the problem was.
my question is simple. Has anyone experienced that after using the ICC monitor profile, Gimp slows down significantly? I wonder if this is due to my ICC profile or if using them is generally so demanding on performance that Gimp slows down.
The image: 80x120mm, 300 dpi, portrait orientation
In GIMP:
-File-Page Setup: Size A4, Orientation: Portrait, Margins:0
-clicking File-Print: "GNU Image Manipulation Program - Print" window shows up, with Orientation "Landscape"
-changing the orientation to "Portrait"
-clicking "More settings" which brings Canon's "Printing Preferences" window - again with "Landscape" orientation in "Quick Setup"
-sigh...and changing the orientation to "Portrait" (what does it actually means?? Is this paper orientation or image orientation?)
-Page Setup - Page Layout is set to "4-on-1 Printing".
-clicking OK-OK brings us back to the "GNU Image Manipulation Program - Print" window
-click "Print"
Now we should see the preview with the image taking up approx. 1/4 of the A4 sheet.
But...no.
What we see is a thumbnail, and no amount of manipulation of the print settings can change this.
However...
The same image opened in DPP4 and "printed" - shows up properly in the Preview window.
Comparison of the GIMP and DPP4 preview result is shown below.
WHAT IS GOING ON?
It appears that the whole "GNU Image Manipulation Program - Print" window could be replaced with just TWO controls: "More settings" and "Print" - since that window not only has null effect, but it looks like any GIMP settings of the print are ignored (and the image is reduced to a thumbnail).
OK...issue resolved (although the logic of it escapes me 100%).
The image size in GIMP needs to be set to full size (e.g. 210x297mm or close).
Then - when printing "4-on-1", the image is automatically scaled down to 1/4 size, and the preview actually shows the 1/4 of the sheet taken up by the scaled-down image.
Very confusing, and different than any other photo editor. Well...live and learn...
Running 3.02
Gimp freezes and hangs when trying to export a file under a different format ( png to jpg).
Concerned file is quite small (around 1MB) and is a colour image.
