Because I prefer to run GIMP in a portable mode my setup and invocation scripts differ from the standard default norms.  When I look at the online man page it uses a lot of terms that appear to be related to GIMP 2.  For example, the environment variable named GIMP2_DIRECTORY.  This makes me wonder whether or not such is accurate for GIMP 3.

I also notice that GIMP 2.10.38 is the most recent version being offered by the Portable Apps Program as of today (4/17/2025).

I came across the pollinations.ai site, which among other things allows you to generate artificial images even just using a URL in the browser... so I said to myself and WGET? Also!

So between yesterday and today I created a simple interface in bash and yad to take advantage of opening with Gimp or saving the images created.







You can download it from here (it's a single file), or installer for menu icon.

Hi

I've just installed GIMP 3.0.2 (revision 1) now on a Windows 11AMD RYZEN 9 laptop. I use this laptop offline so I need the offline manual.

I downloaded "gimp-help-3.0.0-en-setup.exe" but it doesnt install it, it shows "No suitable GIMP installation were found. GIMP Help can only be installed when GIMP 3.0 is already present."

My institution vets any download I request. Their cyber security system blocked downloads from the  Gimp website. Thus Gimp is not accessible.


By comparison no problem download and install LibreOffice and Irfanview
We tried to access Gimp via Softronic. Blocked access here too.

Any suggestions?

Hello everyone.  I've downloaded the RemoveBG plugin for a Gimp 3 AppImage from here:

RemoveBG Plugin

and have successfully been able to pull up its dialog box but, it doesn't do anything. I've changed the path as the thread suggests and the problem seems to be with actually installing the rembg program that is also required to make the plugin work properly.

There is another user in the same thread having the same issue I am having which was never resolved for him so I thought it would be best to ask the question here about how to actually install the rembg program on Linux Mint 22.1.

When I try to install it, from here: RemoveBG Program 

I start getting all types of other dependencies that need to be installed, just to actually get started with the install itself, and was wondering if anyone has ever made the plugin work properly in Linux Mint/Ubuntu/etc... before I go to the trouble of trying to install God knows how much stuff to make it work.

Maybe it's a rabbit hole that would be best not to go down?

The Appimage is one that Rich fixed up for me based on Mateusz Lukasik's PPA.

御教授、お願いします。

I have a few photos where I knew I was shooting with 1.5 stops of correction. That was too much, not overblown, but just a little too much. What is the relationship between the values in the 'Colors / Exposure' slider and one aperture stop more/less (or double/half iso or shutter speed)?

Hi 


Please can anyone tell me how do I place a white border around an image that has a white surrounding area, and then another coloured border ? 

I thought it would be as easy to insert a white border first and then another larger coloured (colored) border, however the white border has a differently shaded area along 2 sides with a mitre in one corner. 

thanks in advance

Hello everyone. I would like to know if anyone knows a way to save the undo history (for now, I still have to write down the steps of my work in a notebook).

I have been installing fonts for years. They have always been successful. However, for some reason it's not working anymore.

I go into gimp/setting/folders/font
It shows where I need to place these new fonts
It says that it should be in:
Users/donald/Library/Application support/GIMP/2.10/fonts

As you can see by the screenshot that 123Marker.ttf is in this directory

Why does this not work?
