Not too long ago (months) I could make a linear gradient of, say, seven colors spread across the width or height of a project simply by drawing a line from the top to the bottom of the layer. Since a week ago, that has changed: instead of the color stops (square thingies) being spread across most of the line I draw, all the squares are bunched together in one spot.
Is there a setting to fix that, or is that just how it is now?
In the attachments (if they are there), "A" shows the full screen as I attempt to make a gradient the height of the box.
"B" shows a close-up of the "color stops" all clumped together.
"C" is what it's supposed to do in the first place; however, this one was done by reducing the view to 5% so I could extend the line way off the page, thus spreading the clump of color stops across the layer.
I have, in that way, solved the problem, but I was wondering if anyone had a solution for the problem besides working around it.
I should mention that Pic "B" is a close-up of the screen in Pic "A." And I should have enlarged the image in Pic "C" as it shows the full-sized graphic but at 5% view; even though the color stops look the same as in B, if it were enlarged you would be able to see the space between them as they covered the entire graphic.
Hello together,
is there any news on the CVE-2023-36664 vulnerability (Ghostscript)? Is there an update planned? And if so, by when can it be expected?
Many greetings
I would like to blend the edges of my image so that it smoothly transitions to black.
I need to use this image on a website that as a black background (#000000), and I want to avoid any visible borders around the image.
What would be the easiest way to achieve this?
I would like to make a seamless texture on an A4 sheet of paper so that I can print it out in several copies and combine it later.
"Tile seamless" doesn't work, there are errors.
The texture would a plank floor for example.
Greetings, help shall surely be appreciated, please.
I have a Lezyne bike computer which logs ifles with a .FIT extension. Somehow, GIMP has 'captured' these files and created them to be opened by GIMP. Lezyne's o/s does not recognised them so I cannot load them onto the Lezyne site. I have un-installed GIMP hoping that might cure the problem but, alas, it hasnt.
Is someon able to help me, please? A priivate reply is welcomed, if allowed, @ careyskanda@gmail.com

PS I tried to attach a copy of a file from Lezyne but apparently it has been forbidden
Lets say I'm designing a board game cards. I have a kind of master layer group, where I have designed and hid all layer groups, needed for certain card types.
We have coins and workers. There may be certain amount of coins (so I have a layer for each occurrence , like 1, 2, 3 & 4 coins). I'm going to create a number of duplicates of that master layer as a separate cards and align them in a grid. Then I'll just turn visibility on for the required coin layer. It will create a coin cards set (1coin, 1 coin, 2 coins, 3 coins, 4 coins on the same image to be printed).
And here I want to make some changes to coin layer, lets say change margin between coins, resize or even replace the coin image (lets assume that image itself is a child layer). And I want the to be made to master layer and propagated to all duplicates, created from that layer.
Is there any way to do this in gimp?
Maybe someone knows a better tool supporting such functionality. I'll appreciate any help.
After a MS windows 10 update, my MS Office XP no longer works (on startup, the acces the screen appears and then disappears) . I often make backups, after installing my last backup, I could start Office XP again and could export the data. I used the access database since 1996 and I want to import the data in LibreOffice Base. As I started with gimp a few years ago and first did'n like it (now, after learning it, I do like it). Using LibreOffice, I found it very basic and did'n like it : it's like I was in the boiler room. After reading several sollutions and tested them out, I could import my data in Libreoffice Base (after export access---> dbase4). A few lines were not imported, but I inserted them by hand. Now I had to learn how to use tabels / query's / forms and rapports. Hard to do when be microsoft brainwashed, but I persevered. After a few solutions that ended in the dust bin, I felt my brain learned to think the Libreoffice way. Now, my database is working fine and MS Office landed in the dust bin (because it died again today) . OO software isn't bad at all (and it's free). That's why I post this in the watercooler, again on normal temparture.
