Hello! First post.

I'm trying to track down a very annoying and persistent problem with GIMP in windows. Using latest most stable version. 2.10.18 I believe.

The problem is not really GIMP though. It is something to do with the Wacom tablet... OR... something to do with GTK or something which I know nothing about

When the problem happens, GIMP completely freezes. AND I get the same behavior with Krita software... HOWEVER... I found that I can still run Autodesk Sketchbook.

So here's a bunch of info.

1 - If I leave my usb Wacom tablet plugged in, things are normally fine.
2 - If I have to unplug the tablet, this is where the problem usually begins.
3 - When the bug happens, both GIMP and Krita will completely freeze up when I try to use the tablet pen. If I use the mouse it will still be ok, but the moment the pen touches the tablet it freezes.
4 - Other softwares seem to work fine all the time, including pressure sensitivity and everything.
5 - If I reboot the computer, and plugin the tablet AFTER windows is loaded, it will go back to being normal and everything works great (~~er... sometimes have to close and open GIMP again to make pressure sensitivity work... but I can live with that).

What is special about GIMP and Krita that makes this happen? They both freeze up "SOMETIMES" when something happens to the tablet. I was reading somewhere that GIMP uses GTK and GTK is a problem in Windows? Is it possible that both GIMP and Krita depend on GTK and that is why this is happening? If so, is there a way to restart GTK?



That you in advance for ANY INFO you can give me.

And here's some of my GIMP illustration if you are into that! https://www.bschu.net

Today when I use the Layer | New Layer menu option the layer opacity defaults to 0.0

Previously it has always defaulted to 100.0 - I have no idea what triggered this change.

I have tried changing it to 100.0 and quitting Gimp - but when I reload and try again the default is back to 0.0

A change to 100.0 for the creation of a new layer does not even persist for a session, each and every time
Layer | New Layer is used the opacity reverts back to 0.0

I have RTFM'd and Searched, I can find no help on this.

Can someone please tell me how to reset the default opacity setting for the new layer dialogue?

Platform - Windows 10
Gimp     - 2.10.8

Gimp 2.10.20 comes with some additional GEGL procedures that are more or less replacements for old third party plugins.

Focus Blur at its basic, keeps a target area sharp and progressively blurs the background. Drag the on-canvas control points around to change shape and the dialog for the amount of blur.  The old plugin looked like this: https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gimp-dof.html

   

There are options for the shape and with the various options an effect similar to the old 'Toy' plugin is possible: If you do not remember the toy plugin see: http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry...hift-fakes

   

Lens Blur again is similar to the focus blur with a mask. Paint a mask to determine what is in focus: black-is-in, white-is out, grey-is-in-between, so experiment with painting masks and gaussian blur. A basic use, as this example - paint in with a fuzzy brush to avoid unnatural hard edges.  This GEGL procedure can be a bit slow rendering the canvas so be patient.

   

Hello,

I'm currently learning programming in python, one of subject that i'm trying to cover now is working with image.  So i wanted to created o program that's counting how many pixel of each colour is in my image (which is 10x10 pixel gray scale). So i created the image all black with 24 white pixel and my program, all works well. It counts 24 pixel of "255" and 76 of "0.

But here comes the problem:

when i have used the Gimp [color] -> [information] -> [export histogram] to file i got the results like this

Range start,Value

0 , 76.0

1 , 0.0

2 , 0.0
[...]

253 , 0.0

254 , 24.0

255 , 24.0


it looks like, the Gimp software counted white pixel two times, so when they are summed up that makes 24 + 24 + 76 = 124 , and yet the picture size is still 10x10  = 100

i've searched the internet but cant find the clue:
How it is possible that Gimp while exporting histogram counts more pixels than there are really in the picture?

Thank you for help

I want to change the colour of drawn lines from one shade of green to another. All the green lines are in one layer, except for a few which are in another layer (I also want to change these ones). I have tried the bucket fill tool, but it ends up filling in the edges so it no longer has anti-aliasing, end, as a consequence, also fills small gaps. Somehow, the bucket fill tool worked fine to change colour when I tested it on a blank canvas. How do I change the colour without affecting the entire image? I only want to change the pixels that make up the lines.

Troubleshot the printer (Espon WF-3720). Doesn't seem to be the issue.

Hello guys , How to change the midlle mouse to right mouse to drag view?

I am having an issue using transform tools on a layer that has content outside of the image bounding box.
Unified transform or any kind of transform clips the layer/content to what is visible in the bounding box instead of letting me transform the full selection.
I've tried selecting all of the content from alpha to selection. I've tried Layer to boundary size. Using the move tool lets me move the full contents, but transform does not transform the full content. Here is a link to a gif recording of what is happening.

2.10.20 is now available. If we use app image for GIMP, how to update to the latest version ? Thanks.

I came across this image and wondered how I'd go about creating the hexagons in gimp and if it is possible to create the 3d effect some of them have and if so how to do that
