what I am trying to do is insert a text gif into another gif and when I do so once I play the gif the text dissolves away and I want it to all go away immediately after the frame I anchored it to.
my process is I open my space gif then I go into layers right click and add new layer and then I usually copy and paste the text gif into that layer then I anchor/merge layer down.

attached is what I am talking about, I really appreciate the help.

I am a complete newbie, thanks in advance

   

Align Tool: Distribute targets evenly in the horizontal

In using this tool I cannot get the targets to distribute with equal gaps (spacing) between the targets.  

To be honest, I am not even certain that the tool is designed to do this, as I am not exactly sure what "evenly in the horizontal" means.

----------------
I have four targets (on four different layers).  Each of the targets is the same height, but are different widths.  If I select all of the targets and choose "Distribute targets evenly in the horizontal" the targets are distributed, but the distance/spacing between the targets appears to be based (more or less) on the width of the one target with the widest width.  

   

In the Attachment example the four images that I am trying to evenly gap/space apart are the four on the top row.  In relation to the selection shown faintly in white.  Ideally, the first image (on the far left) would have its left edge against the left edge of the selection, the last image (on the far right) would have its right edge against the right edge of the selection, and the other two would be evenly gapped/spaced apart.  Actually, all of them would be evenly gapped/spaced apart (regardless of their widths).

Does anyone know how to achieve this?  If not native to GIMP, is there a plug-in that can do this?

Thank you!!

I have searched for an answer, but can not seem to find a solution, so I apologize for asking if already answered.  (I have read thru slicing, guilotine etc.)

I need to take different segmented crops of an image.  Say my image is 100 tall by 2000 wide (100x2000 pixels)

How do I automatically crop an image 100x750 starting x=0 and crop every 10 pixels and save each image to file?

I want to crop all images 100 tall and 750 wide.  100x750

I want to crop every 10 pixels

image 1; x=0
image 2; x=10
image 3; x=20
;
;
;
image 126; x=1250

When it is complete I will have 126 images saved in a folder.  

Thank You

Hi everyone,

I am fairly new to GIMP I have recently started creating car paint schemes using GIMP the last few weeks. Today is the first time I have run into this issue, but when you pull in the iRacing template and the paint scheme you want to use. I go in to change the colors and no matter what color I choose it is like the Red Green and Blue merge with that color and makes it a different color. Like trying to replace red with the white creates a cyan color and other weird combinations. 

Like I said I have made several car schemes and today is the first time I have ran into this issue. Does anyone know of a fix or why the software would be doing this?

Thank you all!

I typically use 150 dpi when creating my graphics, however, sometimes when I open them, the resolution changes to what translates to 150.22 or something like that, but it's showing in mm or something (can't pull up an example right now, and I can't remember exactly, as I'm not on my usual computer). How can I keep it set as always my default resolution and that it doesn't change to something else I never selected in the first place. But it changes the size of the graphic.

I have tried to look online, but all I can find are directions for just changing the resolution, which I know how to do. I just want a permanent setting for the preference. I did setup my preference for what I want my default starting document to be and it IS set for 150 dpi. However, it never opens to the size document I set it up to be.

I currently have version 2.10.20.

Hi

How would you create a segmented circle?

Trying to create various watch faces. Is there a plug that automatically segments a circle into 12?  End result is to have the numbers 1 to 12 uniformly placed around the edge of the circle (adjustable in the plugin?)

I know I can add a marker then duplicate/rotate it by % so many times, then add in the numbers manually, but is there a faster way to do this?

many thanks

Hi,
I'm a beginner GIMP user - I use Linux Mint, GIMP 2.10.20

I opened a PNG image in Gimp. Then I used the rectangle selection tool to select an area I wanted to cut out. I cut it (Ctrl-X) and I tried  clicking CUT in the menu. Instead of having the area that was cut be transparent, GIMP fills it with white. 
How can I have it be transparent? like a hole

Thanks in advance

I need some guidance on how to do batch processing (for now just resizing a set of photographs). 

I am on Mac - Catalina 10.15.5 , GIMP version 2.10.

Based on my research a common plugin for batch precessing is called BIMP.

Their web site says:

"There's no need to install or compile BIMP on Mac, because the default native build of GIMP for Mac OSX 10.8 made by Simone from http://gimp.lisanet.de/Website/Download.html already includes BIMP!" 

But that link there is broken.

Can someone pls help?

Thx

p.s.

I have found some instruction here:

https://github.com/alessandrofrancesconi...lugin-bimp

but to be honest can't follow them. I am hoping there is a n easier way!

Dear experts,

half a year ago i used gimp to create figures where canvas size was quite large (width ~5000 px, height ~13000 px). At that time figures were saved ok and i was able to  export them to png. After a half year, when i try to reopen the original svg files,  the gimp shows me only part of the original canvas ( width~700 px , height~1000 px).  Is there a way how to restore the full canvas?
Many thanks for your help.

Best regards
Filip
