Hello Gimpers!

What I would like is to be able to position the mouse pointer over a certain coordinate on the screen, click the right mouse button, then a menu would open and I could select the option to create a vertical and a horizontal guide at that exact point.


For example, with the Color Picker Tool (  )selected, when hovering over a desired point, I could click on that point and create an intersection between a horizontal and a vertical guide there.

I know it's possible to drag guides and position them manually. But I would like to speed up this step.

I have great plugins for positioning guides, but none meet my need.
   

Is this possible with Gimp?
Is there already a plugin/script that performs this function?

Thanks!

Hello all,

I'm still a beginner when it comes to GIMP, so I'm hoping that someone more experienced can give me easy to follow-instructions on how to solve this issue.

Recently I took a polaroid photo that got lost (probably just vanished in someone's pocket) and the person it was meant for got very sad. Luckily I took a picture of the polaroid with my digicam and now I'm trying to construct a "fake polaroid" by printing the picture out on shiny paper and glueing it to a real one.

The only problem is the reflection of myself holding the camera in the photo. I'm fairly sure it should be possible to make the "background" (=the photo) and the "foreground" (my reflection) the same color, but don't know which setting that would be. It should be doable since it's all black and white.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Some notes on installing Gimp 2.10.x in Ubuntu 22.04 (jammy)

The Ubuntu software centre will give you a snap version 2.10.28 - not a lot of use
The regular Gimp from the ubuntu repository (repo) is 2.10.30 which is ok, but stuck at the version.
This demo shows using an additional repo (PPA) 
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/+...buntu/gimp 
Go there and see how to install Gimp.

There is a glitch with this PPA, the latest libgegl is required. In terminal run

So I'm trying to make my own Minecraft resource pack using GIMP, and while i'm trying to use a size 2 pencil, i noticed that it's the same as a size 3, does anyone have a fix?

I am recreating the center of a pinball table. The problem I have is the blue area, I think the background itself is consistent (though it is hard to be sure,) but the squares pattern ranges from almost faded out light blue with small dots at the bottom to dark blue with mostly filled in dots at top. How would you handle something like that, a consistent overlay and some kind of mask?

Hello ,
I have 2 questions:

1) Can I convert my RGB photos in CMYK in the new Gimp version 2.10.32 ?
    (I'm having to use for the moment an online site called rgb2cmyk.org).

2) Once a RGB photo has been converted into a CMYK photo, what happens if I want to work again on that same CMYK photo with softwares such as PAINT, PICASSA JPEGview ?
Is it still CMYK or does it become RGB again ?
(I know this may sound like a silly question...)

Thank you

I just switched to Gimp from Photoshop. I mainly use it to create 2D images of clothing which is then imported into a 3D engine for usage on avatars. I have gone through tutorials and feel I understand blending modes.

The one issue I have with Gimp is that for example I derive an outfit from let's say an image of a Red Dress. I want to make one that is Blue. So I create a new layer and use a foreground color of Blue. When the layer blends with the layer below the Blue for example with Red I don't always get the exact shade I want. I have tried all the main blending modes and still am not happy.

With Photoshop I was able to create an adjustment layer and remove most of the color from the Red layer so that it blended properly and gave me the correct shade of blue I wanted.

There are no adjustment layers with Gimp. What is the best way to remove the color the color of bottom layer so that the Red is removed and leaves a light gray or almost white layer?

Hello wonderfull person,


When I use any "selective tool" (lacet; square; etc) and I want to add more selection, I can't add it to my previous selection (event while using "shift")...  It really problematic (time consuming) because I have to do one selection at a time, extract it and do it again with the next selection....
