Hi, I am not sure this is the right place to ask. How do you meet your Flipbook needs ? Is there any FOSS software to do it ?

I need it sparingly, 2-3 books at the maximum. If there is any safe and reliable option, do share. Thanks.

I'm a beginner at GIMP living in Japan  

Normally, If you make a selection then change the current layer, the selection remains.
However, If you make a selection of the whole layer(Ctrl+A)(A) then change the current layer(A to B), the selection changes to the changed layer's whole size(B).
How can I leave the selection size as is?
( Please see the attached image. )

Environment:

• Gimp 2.10.14
  
• macOS Catalina

I'm making achievements for my game, and I would like to make an automated process to save a lot of time instead of doing it manually.

So I'd like to make a GIMP script doing this for me But I'm complete noobie with it. Could you help me please?

The inputs of this process would be

• one rectangular opaque background image (i.e. 200x200 PNG)
  

• Color A, (i.e. in hex)
  

• Color B, (i.e. in hex)
  

• and multiple same sized, rectangular, transparent foreground images. (i.e. 200x200 PNG)
  

1.  Start with the background image.
   
2.  Merge the foreground image with Color A filter applied, and also with an offset from the middle.
   
3.  Merge the foreground image with Color B filter applied, in the middle.
   
4.  Save the result in a file.
   
5.  Apply a black & white filter and save the result in a file.
   

I tried printing something i was working on when gimp print window stopped responding.  I restarted gimp and now I cant open any file in gimp  including xcf files. 
 this is what it says when i try to open  any xcf file. 

 Opening 'C:\Users\leeho\OneDrive\Pictures\CATOLOG CONES PAGE.xcf' failed:

GIMP XCF image plug-in could not open image

 jpgs. :
Opening 'C:\Users\leeho\OneDrive\Pictures\catolog vents page.jpg' failed:

JPEG image plug-in could not open image

pdf: 
Opening 'C:\Users\leeho\OneDrive\Pictures\CATOLOG vents PAGE.pdf' failed:

Could not load 'C:\Users\leeho\OneDrive\Pictures\CATOLOG vents PAGE.pdf': PDF document is damaged


it seems every file I worked on  with gimp no mater the format it was saved in will no longer open.  I tried sending to a flash drive so i could open it on another computer  but  I keep getting an error  " cloud file provider not running"     I even tried opening older files built using gimp on a different machine and transferred to this one via flash drive this is the notice  i receive:
Hmmm… can't reach this page
It looks like the webpage at file:///C:/Users/leeho/OneDrive/Pictures/CATOLOG%20CONES%20PAGE.pdf might be having issues, or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
ERR_FAILED

I tried Updating,  uninstalling and reinstalling  ect.  nothing!   please help

Exif, XMP, IPTC

What are these values which prompt to get added to when exporting a file as PNG ? Is it safe to keep them ticked ? Any private info will be added ? Thanks.

Hi Everyone!

I work for a museum, Sharlot Hall Museum, which has a large archive of historical photos stored in tiff format and we want to be able to convert them "on the fly" to .jpg format while at the same time adding a watermark that protects our copyright on the images.  Is it possible to create a script on our Windows Domain Server, or could be on a dedicated PC as well, that would automatically convert a any new new tiff files to a jpg and save it in another folder?  

Thanks for your assistance!

Hello !
 
I am trying to reproduce a cover page, in order to have a clean and crisp effect and replace the one I tore. When printing the copy I own, the image is quite faint with no glow.

Is this feasible or impossible for a beginner?
 
I tried GIMP, but it's quite complicated to understand.
I put you a piece of the cover page in picture, in order to have an idea

Thanks
 

hi everyone, hope you are well. Im importing a vector on path onto a layer that is 3000 by 800. Howeever the vector seems stretched and lying flat. I tried using 3d transform and perspective but Im messing the shape up. Is there a better way to resize the shape better? Thank you

Hello, this is my first post here ; I'm wondering what are the limits of Gimp without using external python scripts.

I have two layers in a project:

• the back layer is a picture on which I applied a Gaussian blur filter ;
  
• the front layer in only a text.
  

Hi all,

I have a 256-colour indexed image I generated with a program I am working on.  I want to load it in GIMP, modify a few pixels, and then save it again.

However when I do this, GIMP rearranges the colour map, swapping entries 0 and 1.  When I read the image back with my program, these two colours appear wrong as they are supposed to match an existing external palette.

If I use the "Colors | Map | Rearrange Colormap" option to swap entries 0 and 1 to put them back in their original order, when I save the file and reload it I find that GIMP has put them back the wrong way around.

If I load and save the file with the colours the wrong way around GIMP leaves them alone!

I cannot work out how to get GIMP to save the file without rearranging the palette.

Am I doing something wrong?  I'm using GIMP 2.10.22 and this is the file I am trying to edit.  Entry 0 is meant to be black and entry 1 is meant to be dark blue, which is shown when the image is first loaded, but it seems impossible to save the image like this, with black as 0 and blue as 1.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
