Most of the tools have presets that you can save. I only found out this today! You can save a desired preset's name  for most tools that have a tool option etc and also edit it here. These show in the 'blue bucket icon with tools' for the different tools. If you click on the tool icon you can see all the different tool presets etc come up.

Hi, 

I read everywhere that you need to install Ghostscript to be able to open the .EPS files in GIMP. However, I never installed it and the .EPS files opens without a problem.

My question is about the resolution. I have a panel every time I open an .EPS files and the resolution is preset at 100. I can select something else and it works. Now... how do I know what the resolution was set to when the author made that file? 

I need to know because we can go from 72dpi to 300, but the opposite is not recommended.

Thanks!

I'm using 3.2.2m (but had this same issue with 2.10.38)

I have searched (here and elsewhere) but can't find a way to set the default text (e.g. font and size).
Mine is stuck on 62pt monotype. Each time I create a new text layer, it defaults back to this. Typically I want to use the same size and font in my particular projects. When I create a text layer in 24pt Arial (for example) without closing the image, if I try to create another text layer, it defaults back to 62pt Monotype again, and I have to change it each time.

Hello everyone,
I am trying to export a picture in JPEG format, but my screen is stuck. I can't select the format nor to change the name of the file. Sometimes it seem that I finally managed do to it, but my exported file doesn't appear in my folder.
Sorry for the faults, I am not a native speaker.
Can I do something to fix it ?
Thanks a lot !

Hello everyone,
I am facing a very frustrating issue with the Text Tool in GIMP 3.2.2 on Windows. Despite choosing different fonts from the list, GIMP keeps writing in the default system font only.
Here is the situation:

• I select a font (like Cambria Bold or any Arabic font), and the name appears correctly in the Tool Options.
  
• However, the text on the canvas does not change at all; it remains in the basic default font.
  
• This happens with both Arabic and English text.
  
• I have already tried this on two different computers, and the exact same thing happens on both.
  

1. Changing the font from both the side panel and the on-canvas editor.
   
2. Typing the font name manually.
   
3. Resetting the Tool Options to default.
   
4. Checking the font folders in Preferences.
   

أهلا بالجميع،
أواجه مشكلة محبطة للغاية مع أداة النص في برنامج GIMP 3.2.2 على نظام ويندوز. فرغم اختياري لخطوط مختلفة من القائمة، إلا أن GIMP يستمر في الكتابة بخط النظام الافتراضي فقط.
إليكم الوضع:

• أقوم بتحديد نوع الخط (مثل Cambria Bold أو أي خط عربي )، ويظهر الاسم بشكل صحيح في خيارات الأداة.
  
• ومع ذلك، فإن النص الموجود على اللوحة لا يتغير على الإطلاق؛ فهو يبقى بالخط الافتراضي الأساسي.
  
• يحدث هذا مع النصوص العربية والإنجليزية على حد سواء.
  
• لقد جربت هذا بالفعل على جهازين كمبيوتر مختلفين ، ويحدث نفس الشيء تمامًا على كليهما.
  

1. تغيير الخط من كل من اللوحة الجانبية والمحرر الموجود على اللوحة.
   
2. كتابة اسم الخط يدويًا.
   
3. إعادة ضبط خيارات الأداة إلى الوضع الافتراضي.
   
4. التحقق من مجلدات الخطوط في الإعدادات.
   

good day dear friends - good day dear gimp-experts,


hello everyone:  i am currently workin on a solution - "saving the foreground - gettin rid of the background: which approach" - you would choose here!?

i am currently working on a litte image where i want to set the lines in the foreground - free from the background.
I have to solve the task - with GIMP: Well i think that this must be possible - i could imagine that we can do this with the help and the work of some "layers" - see the image-
[url=https://preview.redd.it/saving-the-foreground-gettin-rid-of-the-background-which-v0-rnqzsjwz8zrg1.png?width=103&format=png&auto=webp&s=f3c5e2d92ec8d92e19f291cbe79923ee2d0fe400][/url]

   


hope i was able to spell out what is wanted: 

how to make clear / sure that i can save the lines (and dots) - and re-color the background - is this possible -how would you do this
which approach - you would choose here!? 

look forward to hear from you

greetings

I've used Gimp 2.10 and 3.0.8 and both have recognized the rawtherapee plug-in.  However, neither version 3.2.0 or 3.2.2 recognize it, although the proper files seem to be there.

I installed the extracted AppImage for all 3.x versions.  Here is a find search in 3.0.8 and 3.2.2 directories:

3.0.8:
49-> ffind file-rawtherapee
./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gimp/3.0/plug-ins/file-rawtherapee
./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gimp/3.0/plug-ins/file-rawtherapee/file-rawtherapee

3.2.2:
75-> ffind file-rawtherapee
./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gimp/3.0/plug-ins/file-rawtherapee
./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gimp/3.0/plug-ins/file-rawtherapee/file-rawtherapee

So the plugin is there.  From withing the respective programs I open:

Preferences -> Image Import & Export: Plug-In

3.0.8:
${gimp_plug_in_dir}/plug-ins/file-darktable/file-darktaple
${gimp_plug_in_dir}/plug-ins/file-raw-placeholderr/file-raw-placeholder
${gimp_plug_in_dir}/plug-ins/file-raw-rawtherapee/file-rawtherapee

3.2.2:
${gimp_plug_in_dir}/plug-ins/file-darktable/file-darktaple
${gimp_plug_in_dir}/plug-ins/file-raw-placeholderr/file-raw-placeholder

So the plug-in isn't listed.  However, I see no way to manually add a new plug-in to the list.  I never manually added it to other versions of GIMP, it just worked.

Any suggestions as to how I get this listed, and why the 3.2 series isn't loading this or picking it up from the previous 3.0.8 configuration?

Thanks.

good day dear friends good day dear gimply ppl. 

[first of all - i ve posted this three days ago here - and was happy to receive some nices & kind and very supportive answers - but in the mean time a serious db-crash knocked out the whole page - and  guess that 90 % of the postings of the past seven days vanished - into the dark] 

well i am currently workin on a graphic image - and i would love to get your creative suggestions! ?

after lurking here some hours - i t hought that the best would be to step up the plate and just ask: while lurking i have seen lots of great approaches to do much in GIMP: I really appreciate all the awesome threads  that i ve seen here: i think that i have to work with some kind of a layer-based approach 

see my starting point: 

I’ve experimented allready with that, and it already helped me get closer to the look I’m aiming for.

To give you a bit more context: I’m trying to reate a certain abstract network visualization style –: What I especially love is to get some behavior - at the right side  that gets some feels of - lets say “overdriven” – almost blown out into a bright yellow-white glow,   while the lines still keep a warm reddish tone. The colors are intense, but the structure stays readable.
So my question to the community: What would be your approach to achieve a kind of “overexposed” yellow-to-white transition on the right side, while keeping the lines slightly red and the overall network structure intact?


I’m open to non-destructive workflows, layer blending tricks, or even selective color grading.

love to hear from you
 
see the starting point.
