  Create Variants of the Project
Posted by: AlterPhoto_free_photo_editor - 09-05-2025, 11:25 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Is it possible in GIMP to create variants (versions) of the project? Sometimes it is not convenient to have several files for one project.

  Help with PNG second layer?
Posted by: allin424 - 09-05-2025, 04:33 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I am fairly new and basic to GIMP, I have used SVG files in the past and cut out vinly signs and graphics with GIMP.

I have a PNG file that I paid for from a digital artist. I uploaded the file using upload as layers and changed the embedded sRGB IEC61966-2.1 to the one GIMP suggested. I selected all and added the alpha channel. From here, I thought I would be able to size the image, duplicate and crop the two new images, save and export them to my sublimation printer.

Behind the image is a transparent layer and when I move the main image- it only moves within the transparent layer. When I try to delete the checkered layer- the main image deletes.
   
   

I was able to crop the image to selection, as shown but you can see the layer still and my image will "disappear" if I move it off the page.
   

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I have 30 more of these images to print. If you need any more info, just let me know.

Thanks, Alli

How do I keystone (alter perspective) on a batch of images?

I have a number of images to which I need to apply the same perspective change so as to make them appear correct when projected onto a screen where the projector is not square on.

Thank you

  Keyboard Shortcuts in different OS
Posted by: mrkid - 09-04-2025, 12:36 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi! Using Gimp keyboard shortcuts really make things faster. I recently installed Lubuntu and Gimp. Nice! But first thing i noted was that the usual "ctrl+alt+mouse scrollwheel" that increase and decrease the size of the brush, was assigned to the system virtual desktops. Bad! I guess i can make changes in Lubuntu of in Gimp. I wonder how you manage this issue? Would be nice to be consistent across different systems, so, when you open Gimp you forget where you are working.
Thanks

  something like a bug, not really, but annoying
Posted by: mrkid - 09-03-2025, 11:58 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (11)

Hi.Is not a bug, but i believe an error in the distribution of text in the "Mode" selection of layers. It happens in windows as well as in Linux. While there is plenty of room to show all the modes at once, you need to scroll to see them, meanwhile the upper space is empty. Here an screenshot:

Question Get layer by uncompressed size with script
Posted by: lenainjaune - 09-02-2025, 04:40 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (3)

Hi all Smile

With Gimp, the most part of time I works on photos to simply add extra layers and export the result (maps, explanations, mechanisms, and so).

In this case I do not alter the original and keep it.

Recently I realized the most part of my XCF projects take more than 20MB per file vs the originals which take 2MB max.

After digging I understood the problem : projects keep the original raw uncompressed photo on a layer which is a waste of storage as I can include again the original.

In definitive I want to keep the original photo, the exported one and all that allowed to obtain the exported result.

I imagined an external batch process to open the targeted files, remove the usefulness layer, archive the original with the lighted project.

I discovered script-fu language (LISP scheme) and followed tutorial script-fu and experimented it with success.

But I did not found a way to achieve this : get the uncompressed layer size

I found the following procedures which are not "size related" :
- gimp-image-get-layer-by-name
- gimp-image-get-layer-by-tattoo

Is it possible to do this with script-fu ? Is it possible in another way ?

Extra question, is there a way to attach a file to a XCF project (I suppose no) like we usually do it with the email attachments method ? I hoped this could be achieved with an add-on ...


Thank you in advance for the time you will spend to me [Image: wink.png] .

  Aide pour réduire un objet
Posted by: laudek - 08-29-2025, 02:20 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Bonjour à tous,


je suis novice sur Gimp 3,04 et travaille sur windows 10,
à tel point que je n'arrive même pas à vous envoyer une capture d'écran .



je souhaite sélectionner un objet (outil à main levée) et le réduire (outil mise à l'échelle) afin d'insérer l'objet sur une autre photo à la taille souhaitée.
.
Jusqu'à maintenant tout fonctionnait. bien et là impossible de réduire mon objet.
Bien au contraire celui-ci il agrandit.( de 17 fois).


Merci d'avance pour votre aide pour trouver d'où vient mon erreur.

---- please post in English --- thank you ---

I am new to Gimp 3.04 and work on Windows 10,
to the point that I can't even send you a screenshot.

I want to select an object (freehand tool) and reduce it (scale tool) in order to insert the object into another photo at the desired size.
.
Until now, everything was working fine, but now I can't reduce my object.
On the contrary, it enlarges (by 17 times).

Thank you in advance for your help in finding where my mistake is.
