I need to be able to edit digital images, in following way: original image depicts some object which is not flat. It could be for example a curtain that is hanging disorderly down the window, or a wrinkled tablecloth, or somebody's discarded jeans (mostly, fabrics, hanging loosely or being discarded in a heap). I have another image, of an object which is flat, two dimensional. For example, a drawing of a rose. Or a butterfly. Stuff like that. And I need to transfer this image to the first object in a way that will make it look like it was always there. That is, the otherwise white curtain needs to look like it has roses all over it, jeans need to look like they have various butterflies on them, etc. So, I need the way to capture the shape of the first object, and then to apply the same curvature on my new objects before or during placement. I understand how to do basic image manipulations in Gimp, but the above is really above my pay grade. Could somebody please tell me which tutorial and which part of it deals with that kind of issue? Or point me in the right direction in some other way? Thanks 

I'm running GIMP 2.10 on Ubuntu 21.04 with Cinnamon desktop.  The tool cursor is absolutely huge, though my ordinary cursor is regular-sized.  This seems to be specific to the Cinnamon desktop.  I tried GIMP under the default Ubuntu desktop (Unity?) and the tool cursor was normal size.

Is there a way to adjust cursor size?  I didn't see anything in Preferences.  FWIW, I do not have any special cursor settings/sizes active in Cinnamon itself.

Thanks!

Hi,

First-time poster.

I am creating a backdrop for my model layout and have imported the image into GIMP. I am trying to remove certain objects like power poles, lines etc. For some reason when I choose a brush for the tool it does not show up before or during pressing ctrl while holding down my left mouse button. Is there a way to correct this? Normally there would be a dotted circle surrounding the cursor, but it doesn't show it.

Cheers

Aaron

Brand new to Gimp and Script-Fu.  I have a need to batch convert PDF files to DDS with BC3/DXT5 compression and mipmaps option.  Would someone please provide a sample script?  

Currently have Gimp 2.8.22 installed and running on Centos 7 Linux laptop.

thanks!  Jim

Under Windows, the "Places" list in the Open/Save dialogs displays the drives in seemingly arbitrary order.  Is there a way to get it to display the drives in drive letter order?

Hello everyone,

I launched my cartoon which I did exclusively on gimp. I plan to do several episodes.

Could you give me your opinion please?

Thank you for taking the time to look and give me your opinion ^^

I'm trying to use this old "parchment" formula... (https://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/old-pergament-paper)
Not all FX are exactly the same, but I'm able to get close enough. However, whenever I try to run the "lighting" effect...with the "channel" being used as the bumpmap...the plugin crashes.
Anyone have an idea why this might be? This parchment looks really good, so I'd really like to try this method.

Hi,

I'm running GIMP 2.10.24 (revision 3) on Windows 10, and the GELG Operation dialog fails during its opening process.

The dialog has focus after I try to open it, but it's window never appears.

Any ideas on how to fix this? I haven't noticed any other problems with the interface.

Thanks for any ideas,
Charles

I have GIMP 2.10.21 installed - extracted from the appimage - thanks to much help and advice from Rich.
Now I would like to upgrade it to 2.10.25. Is there a way to do this, or is it necessary to delete all the files including the config files and the .desktop file and re-install?

Also, I have acquired a new camera which uses .cr3 raw files, so nufraw no longer works. I could use rawtherapee but I find that complicated. It provides me with almost infinite ways of getting it wrong and I hate the gloomy interface (perhaps it is time for the braille version)!

Filmulator however works, is simple and has a nice clear UI. Would it be an advantage to extract this from its appimage?

With extracted appimages, is there a good way to upgrade/transfer these to another computer, for instance by a usb stick?

David.

I don't know what is happening or what to call it, so, if you could bear with me a moment while I explain...


I made a kdp book cover in Canva. Uploaded it to kdp and was informed that the size was wrong (by only.044) Ok.

I took the image to my Gimp program (v. 2.10.24). Scaled it. Checked image properties and THE SIZE IS CORRECT, 12.565 x 9.25.

Took it to kdp and was informed that it was now VERY SMALL. It even showed a much smaller image in the preview.

WHERE did that come from? Did GIMP lie to me about the size of the finished output???

WTH is going on??
This has happened more than once with different images.

Is it me? Am I missing some important point?
