I'm aware that it's possible to open Darktable through GIMP when trying to open an image in raw format, but I don't know how. I went to Artificial Intelligence and came up with the idea of creating a .sh file that calls Darktable and inserting it into the plugin section, then creating a link in Edit > Preferences > Image Import and Export. But I don't know how to do this or if it's correct. So, can anyone tell me how I can do this?

I use Linux Zorin OS

Thanks

I'm thinking about working on a flying simulator video game in Unity. I'm going to have to make the art myself and I'm a novice with Gimp too.
It seems like there are quite a few developers making games with Gimp now: https://indiegamemagazine.com/articles/w...lture.html
Does anybody here use Gimp for video games? If so, do you have any advice on where to get started. I'm feeling overwhelmed.

I am not a graphic designer and love GIMP because it is soooo way overpowered for what i want i've always known whatever i run into new it can handle, provided i can find out how...

In older (maybe a year ago?) versions of GIMP i would simply import a pdf as an image (i have absolutely no clue what advantages bringing it in as a layer would provide). Then i could use the paint brush to clean up specks and smudges and make selections then copy & paste to make corrections or modifications to areas that had handwriting in them. When i used to copy i could rectangle select the area, Ctrl-C it, then do a Ctrl-V and drag the square with the copied contents visible to where i wanted to paste it, thereby seeing exactly how it would fit into the rest of the pdf..

Now i am SOOOO confused. I've managed to accomplish the same ends, but not without a lot of fumbling and experimenting. Though i still import the original as an image it seems the copy/paste creates a layer and i have to do something like merge down layers then put my left arm in and take my left arm out and then press a few more keys and sometimes though the changes do not show up on screen, when i select to "Overwrite" the original and reload it, there are changes present. Not always where i want them, but there they are!

I know it is me, and my fault for using such an impressive tool to do something so much beneath it's capabilities.

Would someone out there be so kind as to advise the easiest way for me to copy a selection then place it in a position that i see and know it will remain?

Maybe use the short word large print and picture version of the explanation, for that is what i feel like-

I need a VERY elementary tutorial (GIMP version 3.0.4) with basic steps.... 

I'm putting text in a waving banner....

.....or maybe not that easy - a slight change in the docs.

   

hey folks, first post for me ^^. i am having issues with loading python plugins.
i have downloaded ofnuts plugins ofn-interleave-layers and ofn-export-layers. neither of them show up in gimp. the weird part is that 2 python plugins that i wrote myself do load properly. 

i have checked and the ofn plugins are executable. the paths are as described here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp3-t...s/general/ (in the proper flatpak path ~var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins)

i have tried finding out what is happening by running gimp from the terminal with

In the new GIMP 3.0.6 the shift Q hard round brush cursor is almost invisible.   What can I do to make it visible enough to see well?

Any fix that works would do fine, but also there is a refinement that would help a great deal.

I found that when separating transparent background from object, my visualizing the positional edge and of the perfectly round cursor of the right diameter increased my ability to judge the w/b painting clicks with treat imp;rovment.  

The flaw in the display is that the image I am working from is anti-aliased and the stair stepped brush perimeter is badly mismatched because the perimeter of the circle should be a smooth circle rather than a stair step approximation in order to exactly judge the placing of the paint.  In my current application of the paint, I have adjusted the parameters so that the exact tangent of the paint brush circle belongs exactly at the visualized edge conceptually defined by the anti-aliased pixels. 

If I had a smooth circular tagent parameter of the brush displayed when I work, I could place the brush so well that it would give me  an absolutely perfect result.

.....for ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04 Mint 21 / 22 and users who want to keep their Gimp 2.10

On my cloud storage, about 93 MB 
https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=...dPOpd9hvz7

Comes with resynthesizer heal selection / heal transparency and gimp_gmic_qt  version 3.6.2 installed.  Remember for gmic QT5 is required.

The usual guarantee, there is none, I have tried out on the above (k)ubuntu / Mint versions and it works. Python is a bit old.  If you find it does not work, easy,  delete and use the gimp.org appimage (but no resynth / gmic for that at the moment.)

What of the future ?  I think the next release might be Gimp 3.2 and users should try a permanent installation if available from say, a PPA.  Then find a Gimp 2.10 appimage for those old but useful plugins. That is what I am planning.  Future releases of ubuntu / Mint are going to be Gimp 3 anyway.

Hello!
Is there a platform where I can get ready-made shapes for GIMP? Example: triangle, star, irregular shapes.
