The Zoom  moves in very ~dry jerky jumpy~ increments. like 100% to 80% to 60% etc.
Would appreciate a totally smooth zoom in/out. Much better for art work habits also as  fine tuning to details occurs constantly.
Thanks

I have a template that I have used in the past with no issues. The template has multiple layers...text, pictures, etc

For some reason when I use the same template now, I click on a text layer and the text layer changes. I don't know why this is happening. 

You can see in the picture attached I can click in the text layer, but as soon as I type it changes from the original. I want it to stay with the original font size and type.

thanks!

So it seems to me that when i do drag and drop in 2.10 onto the layer panel i get a new layer with the image i drag and dropped but i can no longer set up with layer properties a one parameter which sais "transparency" in hungarian (being filled with transparency or such normally when making a new layer this is the bottom most attribute)

Additionally i would like to ask, how to drag and drop and fill up a layer with an image which layer was already made. I tryed highlighting the layer and making the second (only other) layer invisible, and dragging and dropping onto the canvas now only showing that transparency fill option selected layer. Well this way it also creates a new layer however this way it shows up correctly on the combined image (as i intend it anyway).

Ok I'm very new to using Gimp 2.10.32. I'm having trouble getting my font big enough.  I started with a transparent background 1080x1080 and imported homemade apple font from google fonts. Now I make a text box that is just barely smaller than the transparent background and I type a + sign into the box. The problem is it doesn't fill the box it just takes up maybe 1/9th of the text box.  So then I try and just up the font size.  I increase it and the plus sign moves downward in the box until it's at the bottom left corner of the background but it's still not nearly big enough so I choose the select tool to move it back up to the upper left corner to continue raising the font size. This is the point I'm stuck, The edit text box widget that is normally at the top of the text box is off the screen at this point because the text box is so big, so I can't increase the font anymore in the box.  Any help would be fantastic. Basically my end goal is to have the + to cover most of the background, centered, with slight margins on all sides.  Please and thankyou!

Hello mi Gimp Lords. More Gimperie i have as i learn to walk the path
1) I create a Gimp_group to safeguard 3 virgin layers.
2) I create a duplicate of the group to work the 3
   layers without worry.

Hi,

I have the same PDF document opened in GIMP and various Adove products (s well as in Photoshop). When I use the color picker tool the CMYK codes returned by GIMP are different from the ones returned by the other products.
For example a color returns


C 0 M 68.1 Y 76.9 K 6.7 in GIMP
C 2 M 76    Y 81   K 0    in Adobe

Why is this happening?
Note (in printing the Adobe colors look correct)

Thank you!

How to start GIMP AppImage on menu ?

Hi all,

OS - Ubuntu 22.04
AppImage - GIMP_AppImage-release-2.10.22-x86_64.AppImage
(download and can be started)

I have created a desktop file;
$ cat .local/share/applications/gimp.desktop

Question...is there any way to add a complete palette to the Gimp Palette? Have been making new palettes by adding one color at a time to create palettes. Was wondering if there is a way to take the group of colors shown in the screenshot, and add them all at once to make a new palette, or do I have to use color pciker and add them 1 at a time? Thanks for any help.

How to adjust images for a slideshow easily?

Hi.
I want to make a gif-slideshow or video from photos taken manually "free hand" of the same place daily: building a house.

1.Do you know Gimp addons which would help?

2. Special wish for a plugin: Adjusting by setting "alignment pixel points"?
These images must be adjusted very exactly not to get a shaky effect in the slideshow, maybe in a faster animation effect.
First all images must be centered to an exact to be clicked middle point fixed on the first image.
Second all images must then be rotated and stretched a little because taken by shaky hand and slightly different distances and angles.
So i think a special addon could center and rotate photos by giving manually 2 points of orientation which the user must set on each photo: Two same pixels on 2 objects on each photo.
E.g. on a photo of a house it would be 1. the doorknob and 2. the window handle.

The measure tool to straighten images is not exactly enough i think.
And i would temporary ignore the needed third adjustment of correcting the "falling lines" which would need a third pixel in another direction. 

I hope you understand it.  
thx
