I am trying to draw an offset border (red in the figure) around an object shown in the figure. The offset border should have the same profile as the object. I tried selecting object, creating a border, scaling it however, I couldn't manage to get what I want. Would you help please?

I opened an svg image that I exported with librecad's "export as makercam svg" option and gimp opened the svg with transparent backgroun but an ellipse in my drawing was distorted.
Then I tried librecad's "export as image" option and selected file type as svg. Then I opened that image in gimp. Now the ellipse looks fine but now it opened with a white background as if opening an image, not a transparent background. How can I tell if the second image opened as svg?

Or how can i make the ellipse look regular in the first image?

So i'm making the funny memes and when i open a image as a layer to add it to a other picture it turns black and white. but it won't do it with all pictures for example i have a picture of saddam hussein venting and it is in color but the other picture of saddam hussein is in black and white pls help.

Hello All
I have just downloaded gimp and did a little exploring. I have close all the windows on the screen. I would like to restore to the original start configuration. I have tried and made things worse.
Thank you

I have Gimp 2.10.24 on Ubuntu 21.04
I have set Gimp as the external editor in RawTherapee 5.8 (RT)


When I click the External Edit button in RT, Gimp launches but an error appears "Opening '/tmp/DSC06216.tif' failed: Error opening file /tmp/DSC06216.tif: No such file or directory"

I checked /tmp dir & tif files are generated & user has permission to read/write those files.

I tried setting Gimp prefs for Raw import as Placeholder & RawTherapee, but the result is the same.
I also installed darktable, but no option for import shows up for that in Gimp.

I love this font but I do not love the wavy edges. Is there a way to sharpen it up in gimp?

I am trying to import Canon R5 CR3 files into GIMP - my understanding is I needed to install the newest Rawtherapee 5.8 plugin (which I did).

When I try the import into GIMP all I get is a giant white square with no picture.

So I tried opening Rawtherapee directly - the preview thumbnails look great - but when I click on one it also becomes just a white rectangle.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting I have to set?

Also - what is the best method - directly pulling into GIMP using the Rawtherapee plugin or using Rawtherapee itself as a stand-alone and exporting it as a TIFF and then importing that into GIMP? I want to retain as much data from the RAW file as I can.

Thanks in advance

   
    Hi - can anyone help? I don't know what the names of these Gimp parts of the toolbox are called that I've circled in red.  Does anyone know how to make the Font and the Mode & Opacity boxes larger, like you can enlarge the tool icon sizes and the interface themes found in preferences. I use them a lot and they are so small I keep adjusting them the wrong way with the mouse. I read somewhere a thread on this subject from five years ago but it didn't seem to have a clear answer. Has someone found how to make them larger since then, please?                Charles.

I have a collection of png images that are rendered for an animation. I need to crop them down to 1920x1080, and need to be able to do it as a command that gets automatically executed when my image rendering is completed.

I'm not sure if there is a straight-forward way to simply run Gimp with options to take advantage of the built-in cropping, or if there is some reason that a separate script is required. 

I have been searching for the solution to this, but haven't been able to find something that works. It is difficult to know if the things I am finding are outdated or not. I did find a batch-crop scm that apparently should do it, but I get an error trying to run it. I've never used a Gimp script, so I may just be using it incorrectly.
