Hello! I'm rather new to GIMP and have no prior experience in these types of programs, so do forgive me if the solution to this problem is glaringly obvious.
Anyhow, I have installed a ton of brushes for GIMP, all have been working perfectly...Until today. I open the program to practice some illustrating, and the paintbrush tool is doing this:

It's turning all of my brushes into a big weird chunky block with no definition! Does anyone know the cause of this, and the solution to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Can't figure out what I'm missing here, but I'm selecting just one part of a layer and what to rotate just that (ie. not the entire image or layer); however, after making the selection, the only thing that rotates is the selection outline. The actual image remains unaffected

A first shot at the script discussed here, to render all kinds of hatchings.

Code is still wet, expect bugs, misfeatures, etc... but read the doc before asking questions.

This is a first shot, more features could come later, dash ends, colors, more complex dash patterns.

The script is here.

Enjoy. And read the doc.

I installed gimp appimage 2.10.21 in ubuntu 20.04 having extracted it following Rich's advice. Again thanks to Rich I am able to run it from the terminal and by clicking on its icon in activities.
The cherry on the cake would be if I could have it appear as an option in "Open with".

I have searched the net and the advice I have found suggests adding %U at the end of the Exec= line and adding the MIME types to the .desktop file which I got from Rich.

Both of these I have tried without success. Any ideas would be appreciated.

A really old little java program that applies a painting effect. A small choice of four styles. It does come from an earlier era when images where much smaller, so it can look as if nothing is happening, be patient it does not break any speed records. Change any of the settings, remember to click on the Apply Parameters  button to update.

   

Not that small    it does require the jre runtime : see: https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp  Linux users can get it from their repo look for OpenJDK Runtime Environment

I made a script that creates xcfs, does a few things and saves them. Problem is, it gradually fills up my memory when I execute it on many files.

The last command of the loop is pdb.gimp_xcf_save. So I wonder if I need to add a command to close the xcf of somehow clear the memory, but I didn't find such a thing.
Any idea?

Hi,
While I am sure this must be a common problem, I haven't found any post about it.
It is common knowledge that we should  flatten the layers of an image before exporting it, e.g. in .tif.
However, in haste we tend to forget, and the resulting file is corrupted. Not only it can't be opened, but I can't delete it either.
I tried everything suggested on the net related to the deletion of corrupted file, including rebooting in safe mode, but can't do.

Am I stuck with these files forever?
Cheers

I tried many times and on three different computers to open any one of the plugin executible (exe) files in the GIMP plugin folder in order to extract the plugins's dll file. I keep getting an error message stating that the "application is unable to start correctly" and nothing happens. The error code given is 0xc000007b. Please see the attached picture. 

I've tried everything including removiing and reinstalling versions of Microsoft Visual C ++, updating the NVIDIA drivers, reinstalling GIMP, installing various dll files and other things. No luck.

I'm assuming that if I can extract the dll files from their respective exe files in the GIMP plugin folder (about 130 of them) and then install them in that folder, that I will be able to add these plugins in GIMP. Am I assuming correctly? 

Has anyone experienced this issue and if so, have can you provide a fix?

Thanks for the help.

I've been trying to make something for a while, and ran into some problems that led me needing to take a screenshot of something and then bring the png into GIMP as the starting point for my project. I added some images, then sized and aligned everything to fit the dimensions I need when I print. (The exact dimensions matter as this will be printed on card stock and made into boxes that need to fit in a bigger box.)

I tried printing out test pages, but it came out too small. Part of the problem is that my printer doesn't want to try printing the page size I need (A3), but instead will only print Letter. But this problem led me to looking into dpi, which led me to a different problem.

I click Image > Print Size and see the resolution is 3.78px/mm or 96 dpi.
I click File > Print > Image Settings and see that the resolution is somewhat higher. I try changing the resolution in this dialogue box to see if I can get it to 96 dpi, but it goes to a minimum of 4px/mm or 101.6 dpi, no lower.

My guess is that this disparity between the resolutions is the reason why it's printing too small. Am I right? What can I do about this? How can I get it to print the right size without completely overhauling everything?

Thank you.

Windows 10.0.18362
GIMP 2.10.20 (Revision 1)

I have an image with an aspect ratio of 0.62:1 and I want to change it to 0.71:1 and live with the distortion: the image includes text so it can't be cropped.   

As a new user, I have spent what seems like hours Googling "changing aspect ratio with Gimp" and trying without success the few answers I found.  

Can anyone please walk me through a method or point me to a tutorial?  I use Windows 10 and Gimp 2.10.20.
