If you regularly use RAW images with Gimp then you are better off with one of the 'active' applications, Darktable or Rawtherapee, which are frequently updated.

I do find these have more features than I require and so I fall back to the Gimp uFRaw plugin.  This is old and newer RAW formats will not be supported. All you can do is try and see.

I have tried this in Win10 / Gimp 2.10.24 and it works. Unzip and put the whole nufraw folder in C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins

For linux users. 

(Edit: For 'buntu 20.04 / Mint 20 users. This plugin is not going to work, there are dependencies no longer included in these newer versions - ok for ubuntu 18.04 / Mint 19)

Check in your distro repo for a version that works with Gimp 2.10 (not always guaranteed) This is my compile which should work in ubuntu / mint etc.
https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=...VS1SOBlLJk Unzip put in ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/ make sure it is executable.
This plugin has a side effect. Stops Gimp loading SVG images, so keep it non-executable until required.

General: 
After installation, check that it shows bottom of Edit -> Preferences -> Image Import & Export and is selected.  
The usual guarantee, there is none. If it does not work for you, then I recommend trying RawTherapee.

I'm using GIMP 2.10 on a new computer and parts of it are super tiny or cut off. For example in the image, the font choices are cut off The justify font is tiny. The brush tool options are also small. Is there a way I can make those larger?

Hello!

First time poster here with a question that is puzzling me. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I have an image that is 3000x4000 pixels. According to GIMP, the image in inches is 10"x13" as seen in this pic...

 

In scale image, it shows that as well...
 


So I have some 13x19 photo paper that I want to print his on. I have the correct paper size selected...
  


Here's my print preview...
  


But then my result is this...What am I doing wrong in GIMP? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I frequently crop photographs I've taken. I crop, click inside the cropped image and save. When I return to the cropped image I am able to still drag parts of the UNCROPPED image into the crop box. First, how do I fix this? I want to eliminate the uncropped material.
This causes a problem when I want to affix a signature to the cropped image. When I bring the .png signature in it is centered in the image. When I try to drag the signature into place I'm dragging the image instead.
Sure these are easy fixes?

This error has started to come up recently, strangely the same error on two different machines started on the same day...

Saving...failed.

Could not open...for writing. Input/output error.

...= file path

Clicking OK and exporting again then works, but it means double the effort.

Many thanks

Hello it's me ! (again)

I would like to change the skin/hair/eyes color of characters. I have an exemple with the skin color, white to blue and the eyes color, yellow to blue.
I tried with Hue-Saturation and the result is pretty good BUT I don't know how to erase the blue on the hair. I tried to cut out the hair but it's hard because of the several thin hair on the face. I tried to use Layer Mask but I can't because of the same reason.
In a general way, it's hard for me to change the skin/hair/eyes color on a character so if you have a solution, I'm listening !

Thank you in advance !

The grayscale value of the alpha channel in my DDS file determines the extent to which the body of the car, in my racing game, reflects the sun.
How can I assign a grayscale value, varying from white to black, to the alpha channel in Gimp?

Greeting! The surface of the object in the original photo is wavy.  Please see the attached. I would like to seek your advice on how to smoothen such surfaces while maintaining texture and look-and-feel.

Thank you for your help, have a good day!

Panorama software, lots of it are available. But can it be done with gimp? Yes there are some plugins, but let's try it with gimp in combination with Ottia Tuota tools. In this example 2 photos made handhold are used. The photos should overlap a lot like the ones here. Place them in a canvas that is big enough to place the two photos side by side. Make two paths (4 points) referring to the same information on both photos. 
   
Use the Filters / Distorts / Perspective transform / Perspective transform - 4 points to 4 points plugin from Ottia Tuota. Et voilà, the photos are nicely stitched.
     
Now use the gimp Colours / Exposure tool to match the color exposure and use the erase tool with a soft brush to blend the two layers. Flatten the image and use the 3D transform tool and the crop tool to adjust the result.
   

I come across this issue frequently but am too freaking stupid to work out how to word the question.
I want to move a single element on the canvas.
I duplicate the layer so I can move around a second rectangle:


Then I attempt to reposition the second layer that contains the second rectangle...

But when I do that the ENTIRE layer (element + background) is moved.

Please dispel this simple yet chronic blindspot of mine.
And thank you.
