This FG/BG

It looks nice with my color, don't you think?

More seriously ➤ We always speak about this "Tool", some call it FG/BG swatch, I call it FG/BG icon, others call it FG/BG button and we always try to "explain" what's this icon, its position on the UI, when it's a very-beginner we do need to write the full "ForeGround/BackGround (FG/BG)" what so ever... and yet it's not in the icon's tool list on GF...



(Jeeez I love this direct screenshot to imgur from ksnip, and just Ctrl+V while writing > again thank you @Krikor ),
anyway, let's get back on track ➤ it would be nice if we can have this icon  
No need to try to explain to "click on the rectangle underneath the white square" (or vice-versa) or the double arrow or the tiny B&W square to reset it.... and let's face, it would be a nice add-on to the tool's icon list of GF    

PS: there is even the icon posterize, that nobody use it and not the FG/BG...  

Hi everyone,

I exported an image from a rendering software which had an option to 'apply alpha channel'. By mistake I enabled this option and later realized all my images had no sky background.

While viewing the images in photos (Windows) I noticed the background would show for a split second before Photos applying the alpha...

I opened the image in Gimp and when I unticked alpha channel, Voilà, the background was recovered.

Problem is... I can't export it for some reason... when I save as PNG the background is back to transparent, and when I save as JPG it is all white... but that is not what I am seeing in my GIMP window...

When I run Layer > Transparency > Remove Alpha Channel. I do get the white background preview.

It's always a challenge to optimise skin colour. I find this video a good learning curve.

I think you can find in gimp the same things as seen on this dashboard : Colours/Color Grading, Colours/Curves, Colours/Levels, layers, layer modes and I'm missing Vectorscape (I think). 
Nice to have such a dashboard. Just a dream...

I'm using GIMP 2.10.31 on MacOS Monterey.  I installed the resynthesizes plugin but get an error "'plug-in-resynthesizer' not found" when trying to heal an area.  I found a help article that directs users to create a new dynamic link:

It turns out that the plugin uses a newer dynamic library than what I have on Catalina. In detail, both resynthesizer and resynthesizer_gui are linked against the dynamic library with the name 

The problem is that I don't have /usr/local/lib on my Mac    I have /usr/lib but when running the last command I get an error "libintl.9.dylib: Operation not permitted"

Hi, i have a lot hours work done in GIMP about a boardgame i am doing last 3 weeks. Today my cat start walk in my PC.

My problem: I was using 2 fonts in my cards(the boardgame is with cards), "Arial Bold"(a few) and "Times New Roman Bold"(most), suddenly all related to times new roman was "out of sync" and when i select any these go standard to changing to "DejaVu Serif Bold", i mean if i wanted change any number i have change the font because that go automatically to DejaVu Serif Bold, i calculate how long can it take about 8-10 hours changing if i did manually, a hell since it can happen again in another 5 seconds with my cat or even alone, i try search about this problem, but nothing, please help!!!!

Is there a way to create a partial halftone effect on an image( almost like a halftone gradient ) or color?

I have seen several designs where there is halftone effect in certain areas of an image however not the entire image and was curious if there is a way to create this design effect with GIMP?

Thank You.

Hi,

I have a large image (roughly 10,000 pixels wide) that is intended to be a template. The idea is that you create your design over the top of it then turn off the template layer and export as JPG or PNG.

On this large layer, I want to create multiple copies of a much smaller image (say 100 x 100 pixels).

Is there any way to do this in GIMP? I have a feeling the Clone tool might be the way to go but don't seem to be able to get any useful result despite trying a few tutorials.

(I've used GIMP for a while but don't regard myself as much more than a newbie so any advice would be welcome.)

Kind wishes - Patrick

This bug existed in a previous version of Gimp 2.10, and even after I updated to the latest version of Gimp 2.10 (version 2.10.32) the bug remained.

Here's an explanation of the bug:
When I load a 16bit grayscale raw image file (extension is .data) it correctly keeps the 16bit mode in the loaded file. However, when I then use export to again save the edited 16bit grayscale picture, again as a raw image, the output file is incorrectly converted to 8bit grayscale. The result is that I lose the 16bitness of the raw data output. It keeps the 16bitness if I save to a TIF file or PNG file, but not if I save back to a raw (file extension .data) image. Please fix this bug.

After reading rich2205's post at:

https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Color-...5#pid30585

The very practical way in which the area was selected (demonstrated in Link --➤ https://i.imgur.com/4QTyMtL.mp4 ) left me thinking: "Wow, how has this never been so easy for me!? "  

So today I decided to try this new way to get a screenshoot, but I found that my Gimp doesn't have the same tools as those used by rich2005.  

There is simply no option "Select a region to grab".

01-Screenshot in the rich2005 Gimp;

02-Screenshot in my Gimp.
   

Would this option come from a Gimp configuration? From a script/plugin?

How could I make this option available in my Gimp? 

Thanks for clarification

I have multiple profile pictures of staff members taken with the same backdrop, but due to issues with camera exposure, the colour tones of the images all look slightly different. Given the backdrop is supposed to be the same colour in all photos, is there a quick way in Gimp to use the backgrounds as a reference to match the “colour profile” of one image to another one?

Please help!
