as if I have no idea wth is going on.

I waited patiently for about 40 years for Gimp 3.0 to arrive, with high expectations of image altering bliss as the ultimate reward.  I thought once 3.0 was released, things like plugins and scripts that were re-designed specifically for 3.0 would work flawlessly.  

It's confusing to me, a user of Linux Mint, as to what exactly is the proper way to make the Debian based AppImage provided by Gimp.com to do much of anything correctly.  Are there "Debian based" plugins for extensions like Resynthesizer and G'Mic and Beautify while using the AppImage?  I ask this because none of these plugins, which have already been altered to work with my version of the Gimp 3.0 AppImage, work with the Gimp 3.0 AppImage supplied by Gimp.org.

Is this because I'm using Linux Mint, an Ubuntu based version of Linux, instead of Debian?  I can download the official Gimp 3.0 AppImage and things like Render/Fractals/Fractal Explore throw up errors and will not work right out of the box.

I have to get Rich to modify Gimp 3.0 AppImage plugins to make them work; they don't work with the official Debian based AppImage.  Thanks a million for that, btw, Rich.

Will there be a time when I can just download the AppImage on Gimp.org's site and get any plugin already Gimp 3.0 modified to work properly or will they always have to be specifically modified to work with Ubuntu/Linux Mint also?

Lastly, I don't even know if what I'm saying makes sense.  Someone make it make sense for me.

   
Just updated to the new 3.0.0.1 just wonderg what does this mean in the tool panel on the right "layers"

I'm a fairly new "GIMP" user (former PhotoShopper). I just finished my first "job", a pattern for cutting out a violin (Stradivarius ; "Messiah"). The pattern wasn't too hard to make, but it is larger than one A4 sheet of paper. Having read about the issues of others trying to print out larger pieces, I split my pattern in 2 halves and created two separate works to print out (and tape together afterwards). It worked fine.... except, the finished piece which should be exactly 358 mm long prints out to a total of 335 mm. There's nothing missing in the printout, it's just smaller than the image I created and measured multiple times with the measuring tool. Margins don't come into play as each half is far from any margins on the paper. Basically, it simply doesn't print out to match the dimensions that are showing both on the ruler guides and with the measuring tool. Any ideas of why it would be reduced? Thanks

Hi everyone! 
I'm having some issues with the color of my images, hope someone can help me. 
I have basic knowledge of G.I.M.P., but I have been able to use it for a while without issues until now.

The issue is when I import an image (.png) the color is completely different from what it's supposed to be, for example a bright blue logo appears grey once imported, and I have to select some pretty extreme settings in the color filters to change it back to what it's supposed to be.

I used to be able to import any image (as well as this same logo on other projects) normally before and never had an issue, but I recently started to see this change in the 2.10 version, so I updated it to the 3.0 version to see if that fixed it, but I still get the same issue. 
Also, I'm saving my project, and when I reopen it, some of the images appear distorted for some reason.

Any idea what might be happening? Is this a bug, or some setting I'm overlooking? Thanks!

Hi All,

I just downloaded GIMP 3.0 but am experiencing a bug where when I right click to access options the menu only partially display. Is anyone getting this or know a fix for this? It also happens with some click menus. I also cannot scroll though to see other options in the corrupted menu.

Hi there! I developed a batch image processing plug-in for GIMP 3.

Main features:

• Convert image files to any file format provided by GIMP and third-party plug-ins
  
• Export layers as separate images
  
• Export images opened in GIMP
  
• Batch-edit layers in an opened image
  
• Apply any GEGL filter or plug-in during batch processing (rename, scale, ...)
  
• Apply constraints to process only specific images/layers (matching a suffix, visible layers, ...)
  

image transform rotation is not mapped on repeating action key

Cntr+F repeat last action but this is not true

Sadly, gimp do not let you also to select multiple open tabs with images and apply the same effect, with some short key.

Is there any fast way to apply transformation to gimp open images without external batch modes / scripts?

I want to use MS Windows as my operating system in the future, so I need to buy a new computer because my current computer is not compatible with Windows 11. I want to use my current computer as a second computer and want to install Linux. I downloaded Linux Mint and Ubuntu, put the operating systems on a memory stick and tried them. Both are user-friendly, but I only could easily connect to the internet (wifi) with Ubuntu OS. My current computer has a 2.90 gigaherz Intel i7-7700T processor with 4 cores and 128 GB SSD. I want to use this computer as a Windows OS-oriented and thinking user. I visited some Linux forums, but there are always different types of Linux suggested. So I ask the question here: Ubuntu or Mint?

Hello, I just updated gimp from gimp 2.xx to gimp 3. In gimp 2 I had added filters, now in gimp 3 they are not there, how do I put the filters I added from gimp 2 to gimp 2?
Thank you.

Hi,

I created a website about Script-Fu in GIMP 3. It explains the tools I use to code, offers tutorials on building libraries, and includes technical references specific to Script-Fu. You can download example plug-ins, such as auto-save and incremental save.
