Hey Guys and Gals,

First time post. Please forgive me if this has been discussed before, but I honestly had no idea what to search for in regards to my issue.

Anyway, I've been using GIMP for about 9 months now, and recently I noticed that my images appear to be much more vibrant or saturated in the GIMP viewport than they do when viewed outside of GIMP. This includes images that have never been opened in GIMP previously. It makes photo editing a little difficult, since what you see isn't going to be equal to what you get.

I doubt it has anything to do with my system, but just in case, I've listed some basic specs of what I'm running below.

GIMP Version: 2.10.32 (Revision 1)
Operating System: Windows 11 (64-bit)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5900HS
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, is there some way to fix it so the color saturation matches inside and outside GIMP?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I open a picture with several shapes with several transparency colours.

I would like to pick the colour and the transparency level.
If I use the colour picker tool, I can read the RGB levels for the color, but I can't find the transparency level.

Where can I find it for this pixel ?

Thanks

Hi , so i am new with gimp and am trying to cut 4 equal corners off an image. So i made a triangle with the path tool  and connected it, so then i can choose " selection from path " and in edit mode i can cut or delete that triangle out. 
                                                                But after that i get lost , i want to then just move the triangle and rotate it and move it to another corner and cut that corner out . Then do that to the 2 remaining corners. Though i seem to not be able to just rotate and move the triangle into position very easily. I can lock it and name it , but it don't seem to rotate . Any help? thanks

Hi all,

I'm setting up a script, and part of it is to scale the image to a max size of 256 for one type of texture and a max size of 128 for a different type of texture. That aspect isn't working, so I isolated it into a separate script, and it's still not working. I've managed to figured out where the issue is happening, but not why. Here's the isolated code:

hi there currently at my wits end i've had gimp running with no issues on my computer with no issues for months however i installed (successfully) the resythesisor plug-in the other day(successully) i was using it for a few days then woke up one day (may or may not have been after update for widows 11 im not sure, tried rolling it back already anyways no dice) and the resythesisor plug-in was nowhere to be found and after exiting gimp completely i could no longer get into it at all. when i try it starts re installing my other apps eg; wordpress, visual studio code, github desktop and a few more i dont remember off the top of my head although a common denominator here is that they are all recent additions ive played it out installing them again and skipping/cancelling them and gimp never progresses past  "querying new plug-ins" . so i've gone to the gimp file location and found the plug in folder thinking that it must have been something i screwed up in there but i cant find anything weird, mind you im no hawk-eye does this sound familiar to anyone or do you guys have any recommendations? greatly appreciated have a good day

Hi, I  have a new Ubuntu 22.04 install.


I have both Flathub version and AppImage version. Which one should I use for 2.10?

I added layerfx.py to both, but I cannot see it in GIMP. I added the .scm version of layer effects, also added the 3 .so files from LinuxBeaver . Only the .scm version is detected.

Would be nice if you can help me set up a fully functional GIMP. Thanks.

Hello everybody

First, I share you my current work : a cover for SF novel.

Secondary, I need some tips because I'm not totally satisfied of my work.
The spaceship and space background are like I want: close to a artificial work.

But the planet seems too real and too different graphically in comparison of the spaceship.
I tried a lot of setting and modulations without a good rendering (as I want).

Could you help me with some advices that might send me in other ways.

Thanks a lot.
I'm sorry if it is not the right topic trend.

I use Gimp to clean up JPG files, primarily using the eraser tool. The eraser suddenly quit working, probably because I accidently clicked on something I shouldn't have. I have done Google searches and followed all the suggestions I've found. Nothing has worked. I have un-installed Gimp and reinstalled it. Didn't fix it. I have reset everything to defaults. Didn't fix it. Can anyone help?

Thank you!

I was told that Layer Effect can help create one like this.



Not sure how to produce one.

Hello all. I just got into gimp and also have very little knowledge in scripting.

I have 2 black and white files with little difference.
I want to compare them using gimp.
For the process, I import the 2 files in different layers.
Then, using color exchange, I change the black to blue in one layer.
Then change black to red in the other layer. 
The blending for the second layer will be multiply.

My script below gets an error when setting the second layer active I think.

(define (script-fu-set-active-layers image layer)
  (let* (
    (layer-list (gimp-image-get-layers image))
    (layer1 (car layer-list))
    (layer2 (cadr layer-list))
  )
    (gimp-image-set-active-layer image layer1)
    (plug-in-exchange RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image layer 0 0 0 255 0 0 0 0 0)
    (gimp-image-set-active-layer image layer2)
    (plug-in-exchange RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image layer 0 0 0 0 0 255 0 0 0)
  )
  (gimp-displays-flush)
)

Thank you very much.
