Whenever I activate a layer and click on it, a Filter window pops open automatically- the last Filter I had been using. Is there a "sticky" setting somewhere? Thanks.

How I made wings :
- image / guides / grid (made a grid 20 x 20)
http://www.silent9.com/incoming/scripts/guides-grid.scm
- image / guides / guides to path
- tools / chopping / chop path at its anchors
http://kmarkku.arkku.net/Path_chop_files...aster.html
- render / mass render / paint along paths (use gradient)
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-to...p/download
- filters / G'Mic-Qt / Rendering / 3D Elevation
- filters / distorts / ripple

   
Changed color and used in :
   

Hello,
Is there a way to mask a layer using a Bezier curve (non-destructively so that the curve can later be altered with the path editor and the mask altered too).

Thanks.

I'm trying to make a custom texture for a model for Gmod, but it has a alpha mask layer that I need if I want it to work. Found a way to properly retexture it in GIMP, but when I try to export it an error message pops up with the error code: '# error_layergroup_wrapper'. I've looked evrywhere online, but there is no results for this error. 
Why does this happen and how can I fix it?

In previous versions of G'MIC I was able to make the generated layer name come out with the specifications of the filter used.

But now, using version 2.99 provided by Samj's Portable 2.10.28, I can't produce this change in layer names.

In G'MIC I go to Configuration... - Others - Output Messages, and whatever my selection does not change the output mode.


Is this how G'MIC is working right now? Would it be a problem with my version?

Is there any solution to let me create the name of the layers with the settings of the filters used?

Regards

Effecting chopped paths...  
   

I am running GIMP 2.10 and 2.8 very sucessfully after following a Rich2005 video. I am trying to install GMIC into both of them but just going around in circles. I have seen many blogs on the subject, but find it all very hard to digest. 
I have attached a copy of the address's to which I have tried for 2.8 (2.10 is simlar). I am not sure if I am even trying to install the correct version as I am coming up with heaps of .dll issues. I have read some of the help blogs from Rich, but when I try to follow any of the web addresses he suggests, none of them will open to the appropriate web page. 
I have also found that the GIMP version I am using (2.10.28) has some issues with GMIC, but I can't seem to find the solution to install in either version. 
Apologies if I treading over much discussed ground, but it is not through lack of trying and heaps of frustration that I have referred to the forum.

Hi All,

I am trying to achieve a certain look on a greyscale/height map image for a cnc project I am working on.

Im new to gimp so Ill try to be explicit as Im not sure of exact terms.

I started with an image that only has two colors to my knowledge (or at least doesnt have a lot of colors so that if you looked at a height map of the image it would be mostly 0s and 1s.  I switched to greyscale mode and played with contrast and brightness to get the greyscale sharper.

This is where I am.

I am trying to figure out how to basically apply a filter (or modify the values of the pixels in some way ) over that grey scale image I created so that it becomes a height map where the highest point is in the center and as we move towards the edges of the image it gradually falls off in height.  so that you get a domed look but still retain details of the image.  Is this even a thing that makes sense? Is gimp the right program for this sort of thing?

Appreciate it!

When I read the API document of gimp_layer_new(), I'm curious about what are explicit procedure calls in the below quote. 

Quote: Other attributes such as layer mask modes, and offsets should be set with explicit procedure calls.

Quote:Attributes such as layer mode and opacity should be set with explicit procedure calls. 

Hi. I am a brand new GIMP user for about 2 days now and I have already learned a lot, thanks to excellent YT tutorials.

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit; GIMP 2.10.28

I need to install this plugin:
https://github.com/apocalyptech/gimp-text-outline

I downloaded the [color=var(--color-fg-muted)][color=var(--color-fg-default)]text-outline.py[/color][/color] file. I copied it to: 
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins

I put in the root folder and restarted GIMP. But, the plugin does not show show under filters, decor where it is supposed to be. I  am sure I did not copy it to the right place.

Can someone please advise:
1. If I did it correctly, and
2. where to put the file for the plugin.

Thanks very much.
