In the latest Gimp 3.1.3 (appimage) are vector layers, so they will be in Gimp 3.2 when it comes along.

You can make your own path and apply a fill and stroke which remains editable. You can apply transformations - just remember to work in paths mode. 

Path Tool Options looks like this:

So I am developing a video game which uses a built-in color palette similar to old MS-DOS games. Because of this, I need a program that will convert all the colors in an image to the closest color in a given color palette. Unfortunately, my game's color palette has more than 256 colors (around 2000), so I can't just convert all the images I want to turn into sprites to indexed mode. The best method I've found so far is to use the Select by Color Tool and manually convert every color in the image to match my palette. Does anyone know a way to convert images to a color palette instantly besides indexed mode?

Is there a sample file with many (or all) default fonts I can look at? For example, the same phrase--Hello, World!--is rendered in a number of fonts?

I have linked the crash report. Essentially, every time I try to make and edit text, the whole app just crashes. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it either. Sometimes it happens when I am changing the window size, i.e., going full screen, and other times it works and then crashes when picking a color or changing a text setting. Super random. Any help would be great! I put the crash report in a Google Doc as the text limit had been reached. Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

Looking for the best video converter to convert an AVI file to the MP4 format.
I'm facing an issue of compatibility with AVI files, and now I want them to be converted into the MP4 format so that the problem gets solved. plz recommend me an effective converter.
Earlier, I used to use (link to expensive software removed), which is good, but I need a new software.

Hi,

Just installed Gimp 3.0.4.
Opened an image, which I turned horizontally. Then exported it to my desktop as jpg. Unfortunately the image isn't turned horizontally. The original image is exported.

What did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance and kr, Leo.

This is my proposal for a plugin dedicated to a much requested feature in GIMP 3.0: stroke paths with an arrowhead at the end.
It has one genuine feature, compared to other similar plugins (AFAIK): the body path is shortened to ensure that the arrow tip ends up reasonably well aligned with the path's last point.
This apparently trivial feature actually hid a rabbit hole. The requirement of cutting a Bezier curve at a specific point send me through a deep dive into Bezier curves theory and algorithms. :-)

The image below shows a selection of arrowheads styles available:

   

The documentation is here, and you can download the current version here.

Make sure you place the folder named "pl_stroke_arrows" in the GIMP plug-ins folder inside your profile.
Depending on your operating system, make the file "pl_stroke_arrows.py" inside this folder executable.
The plugin should appear at the bottom of the "Edit" menu.

The plugin has been tested, but some new bugs will probably happen. Please report here, preferably with a downloadable .xcf file to exemplify the case.

When ever I am attempting to do a PNG export on my M4 Mac mini with Sequoia, instead of popping up the PNG export options dialog, it just freezes. I can't interact with anything. On the toolbar will have a PNG-export listed, but no windows for it are available.

Hello fellow Gimp-Users.

I've been using Gimp for a couple years now.
As I got used to it, I also got used to the workflow and the shortcuts.
I just downloaded version 3 and to my surprise many shortcuts don't work at all (Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V/Ctrl+Zoom/Ctrl+H).
Also I was used to hit Ctrl+S to scale the current selection. Now it brings up the Shear tool and Ctrl+T seems to be for scaling.
I don't know what the developers were thinking on this release and why it would be a good idea to change shortcuts, people were used to for years. (vibe coding?)

However, in 2.8 everything works fine. My system is a clean W10 with more than enough performance.
Really dissapointed with this release. I know I can change my shortcuts manually, but why did they change them in first place? 
Anyone else facing the bugs of some not working at all?

Creating a paperback cover. Instructions from Amazon say:

Quote:Image color, size, and quality. Images should be in CMYK color to ensure your cover looks good in print. All images should be sized at 100%, flattened to one layer, and placed in your document at a minimum resolution of 300 DPI (dots per inch).
 
Flatten all transparencies. These can cause the file to print with missing or distorted content.
