...or rather the inventor

Maybe it is time to retire the format as well...although all those animation makers will object.

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone could help,

I've been drawing up some clipart style images with black outlines, and am looking to create the "opposite" version of the image.

Attached image bandana 1 is a good example of the type of image I've drawn up.  I want then to be able to create image bandana 2, which is a black fill of the "empty" areas of the original drawing.  Note this isn't my work, but an example of what I want to achieve!

I've tried the obvious solution on my own work, which is to create a new layer, fill with black and then use the Fuzzy Select or Select By Color tools to highlight the original black outline on my image, and then delete from the black layer to get the black "opposite" image, but it creates very rough and pixelated edge.

Sorry if my wording is confusing - hope the question makes sense!

Thanks,

Chris

Hi,

I have a 32x32 image that I'm trying to export as an .ico file, but the result doesn't look like the preview during the export process.
Why would that be?
I have merged several layers into one layer, and I'm simply choosing that single, merged layer to export. (Not even trying to do the multi-size thing.)
The resulting file looks like a different layer that I didn't even specify during export. ???

Very confused.
thanks for any help.

hello everyone, I'm a newb at gimp and
have no clue what I'm doing!
I’ve been trying to crop a picture I have of my little ones feet and handprints to
make a collage round a poem in libre office.
I managed to crop the handprints without changing their size, and set alpha then exported to PNG which took me an age to figure out! but when I open the image it has a big white background the size of A4.
I’ve tried cropping to selection/content but then this changes my handprint size. I’m new to all this and would love some advice on what I’m doing wrong!

我选择了部分图像，但按“删除”，整个图像的内容被删除。
为什么？

Hi,

I have my default quality saved as 80% on Export Image as JPEG window. But whenever I open some images to make edits and then export, the slider on Quality option always appears at a different value, like 90%, 93%, 100% etc. It doesn't keep my saved default value selected. Every time, I have to click Load Defaults button.



Any ideas how to fix this? I'm on GIMP 2.8.20, if it makes any difference. Thanks!

Is there any way to rename the layers in gimp? Preferably if there was some way to rename only visible and/or linked layers.

I know there is the plugin under Filters-Animation-Rename Layers....

But this filter is for animation, and only renames the name of the Prefix, determines the Delay and allows whether or not to include "Replace" in the layer name.

I'd like to be able to rename the layers indexed by adding a prefix of my choice (not just 'Frame').

Something like the Export All Layers plugin (ofn-export-layers), but without having to export the layers (Renaming them directly while editing).

Thx!

Sick of changing the appearance of the transparency always by opening Edit > Preferences > Interface > Transparency.

As I'm often changing appearance of the transparency by using the background mid-tone checks, black, gray or white,
I'm looking for a hotkey to open this setting option faster than walking through the preferences menus.

Thank you

I have a HP laptop running Windows 11 and using GIMP 2.10. 
I was able to print photos to my old printer.
I am unable to print photos on my new photo printer CANON imagePROGRAF PRO-300.
Other photo software can print to my PRO-300 just not GIMP 2.10. 
Any suggestions for getting GIMP 2.10 to print to my new printer? 
Thanks.

Hi everyone, excuse the newbie question and apologies if it's been asked before. Can someone please explain to me how the fill option works with crop allow growing? I thought it was going to be a kind of alternative way to resize a canvas but I'm sure I'm misunderstanding something. This is what I'm doing:

1. open an image
2. activate the crop tool
3. check allow growing
4. choose a fill for the extra canvas
5. make a selection that goes outside the image boundary
6. press enter

But, no matter what fill I choose, the extra canvas is always transparent. The GIMP docs aren't really any help but they do say "Transparency will be used if there is no material to crop". If that's the case then what is the fill for? I assumed "no material to crop" was the extra canvas and that's what gets filled.
