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?

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?

Hello,

I have a finger print that needs to be on a white background.

I changed the background to white using Quick Mask, but the issue is that the finger print has crests / troughs, and the troughs color is that of the old background.

   

1. Is there a way to resolve this?

2. Is there a way to make the crests a deeper red?

I haven't used gimp in quite a few years and have forgotten quite a bit of what I used to know.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

This is something utterly new.

Since about August 10th, Gimp 2.10.24 running on Zorin OS 16 (Equiv. Ubuntu 20.04), Gimp Rectangle Select or Ellipse Select keep reverting to "Expand From Center."
This is very disruptive to work flow. I have to keep opening the tool options and changing it back. But after a short time of use, it reverts itself back, unpredictably.

What I have tried: Removing GIMP directory from ~/.config
Doing the above and Uninstalling all portions of Gimp, then removing all remaining files and directories.


Settings are essentially at Default from installation.
I have been using Gimp (a lot) for a couple of years and I have never had this happen. I wondered if it was a Keyboard Shortcut I was bumping... But that seems a stretch.
