Hi there.

First of all - i am totally new to GIMP so any help would be greatly appreciated and i need it bent i neon ... like really understandable for a GIMP-beginner. I use GIMP version 2.10.28 on Windows 11.

Here is a description of what i need to do. I have a transmitter with a color display and i can put an image of the planes i'm using on it. The image has to be 192 x 108 pixels. I have attached a screenshot of the display of the transmitter so you can see what i am talking about.

   
   


My problem is that i can't figure out how to take the image of my plane/helicopter and make it fit the 192 x 108 pixels without too much of the rest of the image - i need the plane to occupy as much of the box of 192 x 108 pixels a possible without too much of everything else around the plane.

I have used other software where i made a mask (192 x 108 pixels) and then just resized the image (keeping the aspect ratio) until the plane fitted in the mask and then use the option "cut to mask" so only the little rectangle with the plane was left and i saved it as PNG. Since i can't afford to buy the software i found GIMP and hope i can learn to do similar things with my pictures. 

I hope someone in here could find the time to explain this to me - and down on a level that i can understand.   

Best regards

I've read in several other threads people make casual reference to experiencing problems with Gmic, and as someone who just started using it, I'm curious what "well known" problems people are experiencing? (so that if I notice the same problem, I won't suspect the cause is due to a problem specific to my installation).

One thing I've had  issues with is that about  every third or fourth time I use it, closing Gmic will freeze Gimp up tight, none of the menu items is accessible, and the only path forward is to force Gimp to end, without opportunity to save the work. Highly frustrating.
This is even after having the notorious "internet" box unchecked. And happens on machines where Gmic is the only  addition to Gimp, as well as machines that have beaucoup add ons.

Interestingly enough, I do not experience this problem using Gmic inside Krita, so I'm not at a hair pulling standstill, I'm just trying to understand what's going on between Gimp and Gimc.

Is this in any way similar to the problems others are experiencing?

One other oddity that I noticed last night.  using the "gradient from line" function in Gmic under Krita... when I told Gmic to save the resulting .ggr file, the end result WAS NOT saved in  /home/yourname/.local/share/krita/gradients/ as one might suspect to be the default location.  The file was in fact saved to  /home/yourname/.config/GIMP/2.10/gradients/

And I just found this unusual for the default "as installed" original configuration working inside Krita.

Hi,

Can someone please help me for my first gimp script ?

I have a gimp file with these layers : a, b1, b2, c, d1, d2 and e.

I would like to do a script which exports several images from this gimp file. I need this script does a selection of the layers for each export, I wish in fact this :

image1.png : only with layers a, b1, c, d1 and e. (layers b2 and d2 are hidden)
image2.png : only with layers a, b1, c, d2 and e. (layers b2 and d1 are hidden)
image3.png : only with layers a, b2, c, d1 and e. (layers b1 and d2 are hidden)
image4.png : only with layers a, b2, c, d2 and e. (layers b1 and d1 are hidden)


So can someone explain me :

1. How to do loops,
2. How to switch on/off layers,
3. How to export ?

Thanks 

Am currently playing a modded version of Skyrim Special Edition (SSE; not the latest Anniversary Edition) on my pc, and have come across an issue I just cannot get my head around


1.) A butterfly spawns on me all the time, and just won't go away; even player.setrace or player.sexchange will only temporarily fix it. Sometimes it's back after a few seconds, sometimes after a few minutes. It's completely at random - and it's driving me crazy!

2.) I have tried multiple forums and lots of different ideas as to how to get rid of it - but eventually it will always spawn back.

3.) That said, I have identified the texture that's used (it's always the same one) for this butterfly. So my idea is to either ...

• take this texture dds file, and render it empty / blank / transparent, or
  
  
  
• create a new texture dds file that only is transparent (and nothing else), and name it per the dds texture file as currently being in use.
  

gimp briefly appears in task mon but no splash, no nothing, then its gone.

gimp console produces the following:

../babl/babl-internal.h:214 babl_log()

        failed to find trc '2.2'

Hello.

I am working on creating own icon theme. New icons will be for toolbox only, every other icon remain original.
I new icons will be based on legacy theme. So I used existing *.png files of legacy theme.
Legacy icons for toolbox are located in folder ..\share\gimp\2.0\icons\Legacy\16x16\apps
I found there every used toolbox icon.
Except one - it is icon for 3D transform tool.

Any idea where can I find it?
Thanks.

Image(s)
   

I load an image of a truck into Gimp. Gimp's 'scale image' setting shows that the image (the entire image, border to border, not just the  actual truck image) is 297 pixels wide or 2.5 inches wide.

In real life this truck is 227.7 inches long. I want to use the Gimp 'measure' tool to measure the truck in the image and I want it to show that the truck is 227.7 inches long. If I zoom in or out of the image I still want to be able to measure the truck at 227.7 inches.

My reason is that I want to design an accessory that is a given length in real life and measure it in the image as being that length and then merge the image of the accessory with the image of the truck and have it fit properly. I want a consistently 227.7 inch long truck.

I did crop the truck image bumper to bumper and then used the 'scale image' tool to resize the truck to 227.7 inches. I then merged it onto a larger canvas. Now the truck measures 2.something inches again.

What is the proper procedure I should use to accomplish this task. I'm pretty new at Gimp so I am guessing this is my problem.

Hello everybody,

I recently tried to set up the XP-Pen Deco 01 Tablet for GIMP. With the setup tool "PenTabletSetting" I can see that drivers are installed correctly and pressure sensitivity works. The pressure sensitivity also works with the app "artRage Lite".

However, when using the tablet with GIMP, the pressure sensitivity does not work. Moving the cursor and drawing lines etc. via the tablet works well. I did some research and tried every solution approach I could find (restart, reinstalling GIMP & tablet driver, different settings for the entry "input devices"). I set the input devices to mode "screen" and tried the dynamic "Pressure Size".

I found a similar problem here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/2390
But when using the provided library, I cannot start GIMP anymore (probably because it was developed for an outdated version).

I am using GIMP 2.10.24.

Maybe someone knows another approach I can try?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I have tried with what I know, and have searched how to do what should be a fairly simple task yet no success.

I have a panorama image in the middle of the canvas.  I want to fill the lower transparent portion with a solid color.
Could somebody please tell me the tool option settings to do this with something like the bucket tool?  Once I have the solid color below my image I will want to erase the sky portion of my actual image to leave that area transparent.

Appreciate any help!

Dan
