I am new to forums so I hope I am asking the right people.

Anyway, I am confused after I export  3 files (say a .dds file and .psd file and a .png file) to a directory.  When I go to the windows explorer to view the files, they all appear to be the same.  I can't tell the difference between the .dds file and the .psd file because they have all been written over with a GIMP 2.10 file extension.  I would simply like the file to be exported as filename.dds or filename.png.   Instead I get filename.GIMP 2.10 and filename.GIMP 2.10.  Can this be disabled or is there a way to rename them without the GIMP part?

I hope someone can help.

'Transparent signature' meaning eliminate all the background.  I have followed instructions to do this with apparent success - make alpha channel, select by colour,  delete,  see the background change to a checkerboard.  Export as png.

All well and good but when I put it on my documents the background either eliminates, I mean writes over in white, what is underneath or somehow forces a move of what's underneath so that it kind of slides out of the way.

That's in Libre Writer.

Have a done the signature thing wrongly or is that the best we get?  Or is it a Libre prob?

I was watching this tutorial and he suggested G'MIC.  There is a filter called debanding noise, I need it badly.  I was trying to do it manually but I can see the previews are working.  Just the plugin has errors and crashed once.  I really need this or a filter from another plugin that works in 2.10.20.  I installed it to the default location.  Here is a screenshot of the error ( I had a different error with a different filter but this filter is what I needed).

And the before and after screenshot (preview can show "difference").

Hello everybody,

after almost 10 days working on it, I finally finished yesterday a small project that will hopefully help people switching from Photoshop to Gimp.

I am pasting some basic info from its Readme.txt file below, but you should read the file itself for a lot more details, instructions, etc.

Alternative on gnome-look (for non-DA members)

Switching from Photoshop to Gimp can be challenging. These bindings convert more than 120 Gimp 2.10.20 keyboard shortcuts to Photoshop CC 2018 (or later) equivalents, or to reasonably close ones. They also change the mouse behavior, though only zooming by scrolling the wheel without needing the Ctrl key matches Ps behavior (however, the mouse bindings will hopefully make your life a little easier regardless).

AFAIK (and as of this writing) these are the most comprehensive and the most up to date Photoshop bindings for Gimp, available anywhere. The Complete Reference is available online as a Google Sheet.

If your favorite Photoshop keyboard-shortcut is missing or works differently, first have a look at the "KEY BINDINGS (INCOMPATIBILITIES RATIONALE)" section, in the included Readme.txt file.

To further customize the bindings yourselves, see the "BINDINGS CUSTOMIZATION" section, in the Readme.txt file.

There is no setup, you only need to replace 2 files (menurc and controllerrc) in Gimp's configuration folder. Keep a backup first, so you can restore your prior customization (if any). By simply deleting those 2 files, Gimp re-creates them the next time you run it, assigning its default settings.

I've created and tested the bindings on Windows, but they should work just fine on any platform, as they should also work fine with any theme (in the ad I'm using my very own Clearlooks Gimp 2.10 Themes).

The included Readme.txt file is quite detailed, so have a look there first if you have questions.

PS. As I said in the gimpchat forum, I am using a FHD 1920x1080 monitor. If anyone is interested, I can also share my sessionrc file which takes care of the screen layout. It is the layout you see in the screen-shots of the Clearlooks themes above, making Gimp look more Photoshop-ish. I am just not sure how it will look on monitors with different resolutions, becsaue I see some hard-coded positions inside the file. Anyway, if anyone wants to try it let me know in this topic.

Hello somewhere on this website either in the control panel or elsewhere I read the maximum signature/banner size. I'm unable to find this again! Does anybody know what the max size is?

Hey guys,

is there a comprehensive explanation of those 2 commands anywhere? Are they even still relevant?

Google didn't help me much, neither did the docs page. All I could find was a pretty vague "You can now undo/redo multiple steps at once, useful when experimenting", in some rather old Google results.

GIMP transparency seems to behave differently from transparency after being exported to a png file.
If you take a look at the attachment. When creating a circle shaped white gradient, and creating a background layer with the left half being grey and the right half being fully transparent.
Then export to a png file and display in front of the same grey background, you get a different result. 
Is there a colour option or setting that can be changed to "fix" this behaviour?
I have also tried in Paint.net and it behaves the same as png alpha.

I would like to know how to resize my photos of my artwork so that their true shape (some are tall and narrow or long and narrow landscapes) fit into the Instagram 4x5 image ratio (I think that's what you call it) I would not mind if there would be white borders on the sides of my images. Without re-scaling my images, Instagram crops or reshapes them. Thank you for any info you can offer me.
