Well, not new to GIMP, but new here....jus' thought I'd chime in....

Good evening

I'm very new to the forum. I used to use Photoshop, and about two months ago I decided to leave Windows and migrate to Linux, and consequently to GIMP. I use GIMP 3.0.4 and I've really enjoyed it, and I've been learning by watching several videos on YouTube. While I'm at it, I'd like to know from more experienced people if GIMP can truly replace Photoshop without any problems. That is, excluding generative AI, does GIMP have the same or most of the features as Photoshop? Is the quality of the artwork on par with Photoshop's?

I mean, if you can make that the clone tool scale the source in realtime while cloning.

Gimp 3.0.4 doesn't have the old fonts from a project I did 3 years ago. I want to use the same font DejaVu Sans oblique on my new project. After not being ab;e to use the old font in my new project,  I loaded the old project and with the Text tool I selected the text with the font. I then changed the font with the text window on the right. I even changed back to the correct font and it's showing the wrong font.

Here are the snips for the wrong font and the correct font

I see that I still have Gimp 2.10 and I opened the old project and it's not correct either. So somehow the Fonts path must not be accurate. It's affecting both versions

Hi all, 
I discovered changed behavior since I use version 3. 
I am maintaining scores for our choir and for that I sometimes need to amend, fix scores. Sometimes that involves changing, or better, moving texts on the score. 
For that I loaded the "original" in GIMP, select the portion that needs to move, cut (CTRL-X) it and that paste it (CTRL-V), after which I could move the paste portion around using my arrow keys. One of the use cases is also removing excessive white space.
In version 3 I can do the same CTRL-X and CTRL-V, but then nothing happens when I use the arrow keys. It appears like it has lost the connection to the selected area in the canvas.

I suppose something has changed in the behavior in version 3. I looked up for changes, and see entries on Internet about CTRL-C and CTRL-V, but they do not seem applicable to my use case. 

Thanks in advance

I'm using w11 with gimp 3.04. While I'm creating still images with gimp, the images will ultimately be used in video.

Perhaps you've seen a brick wall at a library or train station that features images in relief constructed onto the wall, such as shown in the attached photo. That is the effect I'm trying to achieve. I have an .jpg/.bmp of the side of the building (called "wall) I'm trying to modify with several b&w images to be bumpmapped (called "bumpedimage") into/onto its side. The bumpedimages are .png.[img]E://Alliance-Files-Kenny Lincoln\WallDisplay\walldisplay6.jpg[/img]

1. To get the placement and size of the b&w bumpedimages correct, I have first made the wall and bumpedimgages the same size (pixelwize) with the bumpedimages occupying an area that is largely transparent. The bumpedimage is proportionally correct and placed in a predetermined x/y location. This placement is shown in the following attachment with the b&w layer on top. In the final application, which is video, the entire scene is zoomed into so that the bumpedimages coming out of the brick wall are more easily seen.

Please note that in this screencapture, the placement of the layers is incorrect as the bumpedimage layer is to be placed under the background image.

2. Even when I place the bumpedimage layer under the background layer and add the bump map filter to the background image (as shown in the attached file, I cannot get the desired effect no matter how extremely I vary the controls such as depth/elevation etc. [img]c://Users\Admin\Pictures\Screenshots\wallgimp-2.png[/img]

3. In the video, the background wall remains constant and does not move while different b&w images fade in and out (bump in and out) of the wall representing different historical figures attached to that location. Bumpedimages are of different sizes and located at different positions along the wall.

Any suggestions to make this effect work would be appreciated. Should the b&w images themselves be individually bumpmapped first, just to emphasize their contrast in shading or luminance?

I just spent a whole day trying a dozen different methods that are supposed to make all the transparent *colored* pixels in an image completely opaque while keeping the completely transparent pixels as they are. However in 2.10 whenever I set Threshold Alpha to zero as often suggested it has no effect and GIMP simply resets it to 0.5. Then I tried this in 2.08 and it worked fine right away.

Does that mean it's just plain broken in 2.10? Or is there an obscure deeply buried setting that somehow got changed in 2.10 that I'm not aware of and is blocking changes to the threshold? The Alpha channel is definitely not locked.

Hi
I have been using a duotone effect in Photofiltre on a student project. However that software is now too old to be installed and I am considering GIMP. Do anyone know if a duotone effect similar to the attachment is possible in GIMP, and if yes how?

As you can see the effect makes the image duotone and at the same time make the quality "reduced", more grainy.

Hello everybody,
I recently decided to cancel my expensive Adobe Photoshop account.
Now I am learning to use the GIMP and I often encounter difficulties.
I already found that some Gimp features are better than Photoshop features.

My question is: Is there on the Gimp-Forum.net a thread about migratong from expensive Photoshop to free GIMP?

Thanks for answers!

As title, Imgur has blocked the UK due to the recent data protection laws.

Any one else affected ?

I know it has a chequered history, but it is/was a nice easy site for quick image posts.

Any decent alternatives ....
