Looked through preferences and searched the forum for "auto-save" & "xcf" and came up dry, but basically wondering if wheb saving an image file *to jpg, png, et al.) is there an option to also automatically save the file as .xcf in a user designated folder?

I think I'm gonna get a no, but just in case I'll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks in advance

it's been so long since I visited this forum.
Just wanted to share this here if anyone has slow code due to having to walk along a path.
That's all for now, cheers.

Hi, I have an image, I am trying to make it look like the lock screen blur image.

I tried adding Gaussian blur to the image as well as a white layer over it. But both seem to give bad results. Any tips will be great. Thanks.

Please redirect thread if in wrong place. Trying to find thread or instructions about the GIMP plug ins and how to use them.

i just began using Silverfast scanner software with my old Nikon Coolscan and i'm getting this message when i open newly-scanned slides for the first time:

TIFF IMAGE MESSAGE unknown field with tag 35243 (o689ab) encountered message repeated 9 times.

there's no problem, i'm just wondering what this error message means. can anyone enlighten me?

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a way to rotate (or shear?) single letters of a text I have rotated, but I can't find a way. The idea is to have "straight" letters even if the text has been rotated. 

I attach a picture to clarify (this is the final effect I want to achieve). Do you see how the "vertical" lines of letters (like i,l,t ecc) are still parallel to the border of the image, even if the text itself is rotated?

Thanks a lot!

Is it possible to draw on/use the the negative layer side in gimp  (-X, -Y) or the middle of the drawing in X 0, Y 0 ?

I watched a tutorial on youtube called Repair and Restore.
So I downloaded Gimp 2.10.  Later I found Resynth_Win_32_64.zip
does not work in Gimp 2.10.  Can someone tell me which version
of Gimp works with this zip file?  Appreciate any suggestions.
