I grabbed the latest update of Gimp the other day.
When I tried to run the GMIC plug in, I got this error:

Hello. I would like to mass export a folder of PSD files into PNG files

How can I do that?

I use windows 10 x64 

Gimp version is 2.10.30

Want / need to convert a Photoshop (PS) brush / pattern /gradient to Gimp format. Some possible ways

1. PS brush - filename.abr
Possibly the easiest, Many but not all PS .abr brushes will already load in Gimp and show with all the other brushes in the brushes dock. Many of these are large, multiple brushes , some times just one is required. Export as a Gimp .gbr brush.  The right-click on the brush icon and Open Brush as Image is not available for PS .abr (EDIT As of Gimp 2.10.30 a right click on a PS in the brushes dock does open as an image, all of the PS brushes in the collection )

Two ways;

a)  Look at the brush, the size is given. Make a new image that size and grayscale. A single click with the brush as a stamp. Export that as a Gimp.gbr file and put that in your brushes folder.

   

b) A very old plugin abr.exe, tried it in Win10 / Gimp 2.10.30 and it still works. This will open the brushname.abr file the same as any other image file and open as layers in Gimp.  Export the ones you want individually as Gimp .gbr files.

   

2. PS pattern - filename.pat
Do not be fooled, these are not the same as a Gimp pattern. Do not put in the patterns folder.
Use the attached plugin ps-pattern-load_1.exe and open the PS pattern file. Many of these are multi-layer. Export each layer as a Gimp .pat or alternatively a .png file  Either work in the Gimp patterns folder.

   

3. PS gradients - filename.gdr
No really easy way that I know of to convert these. 
There is an online conversion page here: http://soliton.vm.bytemark.co.uk/pub/cpt...elect.html 
Convert the gdr to either a Gimp .ggr gradient(s)  or an SVG either work with Gimp.

The plugins are in the attached zip. put the two files abr.exe and ps-pat-load_1.exe in C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins

Linux users - linux versions in the zip as well plus a small utility pssvg This comes from the cptutils package. Usually for RPM but this is Debian. It makes a SVG from a PS .gdr file. Works for me with 'buntu 18.04 / 20.04

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and my target is to replace my old Photoimpact X3.

My usage is just some simple photo editing like adding an arrow or delete some area of the photo.

However, I found that I cannot copy the (edited?) photo directly.


Here is my photo. My step is to use [Rectangle Select Tool] and click [Delete].
When I use [Rectangle Select Tool] to copy the edited photo to Microsoft Word, I find that the photo is not edited.
Do GIMP have this function of merging change before copy to other application?

Hi all,

I installed a bunch of new brushes, patterns and gradients, but they don't show up when I open up GIMP (2.10), and when I go to refresh any of them I keep getting 'fatal parse error in ___ file: Unknown format version' errors. I don't know if this means I just didn't install the files correctly or if the files themselves are not of the correct file type.

The brushes are .abr, the patterns are .pat and the gradients are .grd. I installed them in \users\myanme\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\(brushes OR patterns OR gradients depending on what they are). Can someone help point me in the right direction so I can correct this? Thanks so much in advance!

Hello! I am trying to install Ofnuts' wonderful GIMP plugins under an Ubuntu derivative but am not having any luck.

The GIMP folder and its child the "plug-ins" folder are under "~\.config\" these days.

Having placed the *.py file into the "plug-ins" folder, it isn't immediately activated after restarting. Is there a manifest somewhere I need to add it to as well? I saw that hinted at in another thread.


Thanks in advance!


P.S., I don't have a "Python-Fu" console, rather it is "Script-Fu," and the popular command to find the GIMP directory didn't work in "Script-Fu"-- what's the background on that?

I've downloaded GIMP 2.10.30 and there are three tone-mapping algorithms, the latest is of year 2006 by Mantiuk. Which are some modern and better algorithms and how to add them? I have a jpg image that needs tone mapping.

Please, reply in simple words, because I don't even know what tone mapping is. I just click on tools until picture is pretty.

Mantiuk gives a nice result, but the picture looks dirty, and some red, yellow and blue pixels show up. Any newer free online algorithms?

I'm using Gimp 2.10.30 on a Windows 10 system and having trouble opening images.  They open at seemingly random scales, sometimes tiny on screen and sometimes massively zoomed in.  I can immediately resize them to fill the screen with ctrl+shift+j but still it's a bit annoying and a problem I never had with any previous Gimp version.

Thanks in advance if anyone has a solution.

I am working on scanning some historical texts, in Chinese - unfortunately the pages are somewhat yellowed and blotched, like the one attached. Is there a easy way to make the background paler - or even completely white - while preserving or darkening the ? I'm preparing the photo for OCR; so far I have only managed to digitalize a minor part of the text.

   

The last gimp build I had 2.10.22 had a Raw editing Program already in it. (I don't remember installing one)
I am now using 2.10.30 and it doesn't have any but is telling me I can install RawTherapee or Darktable to open Raws
I have downloaded them...where do I put them?
