Hello,

I want to reverse colors of a lot of images, but I don't know how (if it's possible) to do that in all the images in one time. Currently I do one image by one image and it takes a lot of time.

Same for exporting images, I don't know how to export all the images wich are opened in gimp in one time.

I hope somebody know how to do.

i want to make a painting of this pic.

In advance, the colour palette of this image is quite reduced. I like to hear your good ideas on how I can best represent the image with approx. 10 colours

Dear All,

I have a problem with the use of the eraser. After I tracked a line on a layer or on the original foreground, I can not understand why in some cases the eraser is working well and permit me to delete part of the line or totally, in some other cases this is not possible, and when I use the eraser simply happen absolutely nothing. Or, in other cases the eraser track a line like a pencil. I'm sure it must depend on the settings of the layers, but I have no idea how to solve this problem. It is frustrating to draw a line and not able to delete it.

Thank you.

Hi all,

Gimp-noob here. I have a bunch of high res scans of artwork that were saved as Tiff files, but whenever i try to open them, this message is displayed: 
"Non-conformant TIFF: extra channels without 'ExtraSamples" field. Process extra channel as: 
Non-premultiplied alpha; 
Premultiplied alpha; 
Channel."

Whichever one of those three options i choose, the picture just opens up as entirely green.

All I'm looking to do is open the tiff file, edit the image, keep it/save it as a tiff file, as this is the preference of the local print shop I want to use. How can I do this? How can I get the image to open?

Appreciate any and all help!!

Hi, I’m new to Gimp. Is there a way to draw on one layer in the latest version of gimp?  In another program, Krita, you can alpha lock a layer so you can draw on only the outlines. You could make the outline multiple colors and even draw designs on just the outlines.  Is there something like that in Gimp.

I have been using Gimp 2.10.22.
Now i find that my  Enhance- heal selection tool is missing.
Where could it have gone.

I use it by making a selection area  using   free selection tool and then going to enhance > heal selection

Please help.

Sometimes when I use the program, I can edit just single letter/word within a text box, other times the entire text box will change. This means if I want some words/letters one font and others not, I have to make space for that word in one text box and then create a separate text box for the font that's different -- making something that should take a few seconds take 10, 20, 30 minutes or more depending.

Is there some sort of setting I can change so that the entire text doesn't change?

I am having an issue loading 24 bit bmps I export from GIMP. I load a BMP and export it as a 32 bit BMP and 24 bit BMP. Once I export the 24 bit BMP, I can no longer open it in GIMP (Unrecognized format or compression error). I have tried this on several machines with v2.10. No luck. I can open the 24 bit BMPs in MS Paint with no problem. Any ideas?
I have attached one of the many I cannot open.
Thanks for your time

I'm working on some old photos and scaling several up for printing. About half the time, GIMP stalls out in the process and when it does complete, it takes anywhere from several seconds to a few minutes. I do not know if this is a problem with GIMP or my computer. I'm using a fully updated (10.0.19401 Build 19041) installation of Windows 10 Home on a 2017 HP Pavilion with an Intel i7-8700 processor, 5.81 GB available physical memory and 23.8 GB of Available Virtual memory. I have no problems with anything else, and the images that stall out GIMP rescale instantly in IrfanView. 

I've begun saving and copying my initial crop and whatever small amount of work I may have done before I begin scaling in GIMP, then if necessary, paste the copied image into IrfanView for scaling, pasting it back into GIMP. 

My most recent stalled image entered GIMP at 1321 x 942 pixels (4.40 x 3.14 in). It stalled when I attempted to scale it to 2100 x 1500 pixels (5 x 7 in). As I said, it scaled instantly in IrfanView with perfectly acceptable results, but I'd prefer to stay in GIMP. 

Any explanations or suggestions?

I removed the image background and followed all the steps before running the Da Big Gimp Plugin but I'm not getting the result desired, Some of the background remains and the Image has a halo. 

I'm using Gimp 2.1 with Da Big Gimp Plugin V3

Anyone help please.
