Hello all, thank you for taking the time to check my post.

I'm having an issue with Gimp. If I open a picture, I can edit it to my heart's content. But that's all. If I start a new file, just a blank one, that's fine. The moment I open a picture as a layer, gimp, for a lack of better term, freezes up. I can move the cursor. I can select tools, but I have to click one tool above the tool I want and it doesn't register as my having selected said tool unless I minimise the window and then bring it back up again. This is the same for any changes I make, including cropping. I can crop, but the lines do not appear. I have to minimise the window again and bring it back up, but even the cropping is off, so I have to click on the cropped area, guess how far to move it, minimise the program and bring it up again... Not only that, but once I have one layer added, I can no longer switch between layers.

Anyways, I hope I have explained the issue enough so that someone out there understands what is going on and how to rectify this issue.

Thanks again!

Is there a way to have a gradient in the shape of a square, and each corner has a different color? I achieved something similar with the conical setting, but it doesn't blend perfectly.

I've searched the net and found some tipps and hints for a workaround and some requests in bugzilla and GitLab which are closed...
So what i'm looking for is a floating preview window in single-window mode. The "New View" is just a new tab.
In multi-window mode i can get this floating window but can't pin it on top so i it disappears behind the canvas when i start editing.
Or is there a way to let the New View stay on top?

Everything is in the title, resynthesizer does not work on Windows 7 32-bit.
GIMP 2.10.32 > GIMP itself works fine, and latest BIMP as well.

It is on another computer which is on Windows 7 32 bit (2GB RAM), it's the resynthesizer from rich2005's post > the partha one, which works just fine on the other Window 7 64-bit
On 32-bit W7 it just throw errors (did not took screenshot, though)

Does some one have a version of resynthesizer for 32 bit OS/windows?

I'm using GIMP 2.10.32 on Windows 11 and until a week ago I had no problems scanning in old photos. However, now when I try to scan a photo GIMP starts the scan appears to complete the scan, but it no longer brings the image into GIMP.

I reinstalled GIMP but that didn't solve my problem.

About 17 years ago i've written a little script "toglayvis.scm" which i myself use very often.
Meanwhile this script is being shipped with GIMP - releases.
Now the upcoming GIMP 3.0 has a new concept regarding layers.
My script uses the chain symbol as a tag which isn't existent in GIMP 3.0 anymore.
The chained layers build the the group of involved layers.
Toggleing happens between the layers WITH and the layers WITHOUT an eye icon.
So i can see differences with one click (keyboard shortcut)


Here's a gif what it does:

   

Does anybody know if a similar functionality (toggle the visibility of layers) will be provided by GIMP 3.0 ?

Hi,

I'am new on the forum and have a question. I recently upgraded my Linux Xubuntu 20.04 LTS to 22.04 LTS. 20.04 had GIMP 2.10.18 in the repository and gimp-gmic 2.4.5-1.1. On 22.04 I have GIMP 2.10.30 with gimp-gmic 2.9.4-4build1. I very much liked the "Simple Local Contrast" filter, which has disappeared in the new release. Any ideas how to get it back?

I also have the same problem with the resynthesizer plugin anyone seems to encouter. The solution for 20.04 does not work for 22.04. I'm not a fan of the appimage solution because that doesn't integrate well with my system and makes it harder to use other plugins.

Any ideas appreciated!

Bart.

I want to have gimp help automate the create of 512 square images. Gimp would open each image file in a directory, the user would make a square selection, press a hotkey, and gimp would rescale that selection to 512 by 512 and save it to a different directory.
I (used to, it’s been a few years) know how to open each file in a dir, scale, and save. I don’t know how to GIMP-PYTHON a moveable selection, or to have a hotkey trigger further processing.
I have gimp 2.10.32 (revision 1), but I’m willing to try pre-release gimp 2.99 if that will be much better at what I’m trying to do.
Thanks!

What happened to this PixLab thread posted recently in tutorials?

Why was it removed?
