As soon as I open the Hue-Saturation box... I see colors change in my image?! This is new.  Every level is at 0 in the window, yet it is doing some weird changes and seems to be desaturating all 'Magenta' right off the bat.

Gimp 3.02 is not stable and I just need to go back to an earlier version.

A Gimp newbie here. I searched for previous threads on how to install GMIC for Gimp 3.0 on a Mac, but found none.

I made the following attempt to install GMIC this afternoon. I successfully used MacPorts to install the latest GMIC package on my new Apple silicon MacBook Pro running Sequoia 15.4.1. Gimp did not show GMIC in Filters menu.

I found the gmic_gimp_qt file and moved it to the User/Library/Application Support/Gimp/3.0/Plug-ins folder. Gimp still did not recognize that GMIC was available.

Has anyone installed this plug-in successfully for Gimp 3.0 on a Mac running Sequoia?

Appreciate any and all comments, thanks.

On the second layer, first screenshot, after rotating the element with my mac pad, I clicked "rotate" in the tool window, just to see what happened. That created a floating layer, I don't know if I am really supposed to click on "rotate", after doing it manually.
Basically, what I need to do is removing the excess mask from my element, but the mask on the second layer is no longer active after creating the floating layer.  Is Gimp trying to tell me that I should create a new mask on the floating layer?
The screenshots order is inverted.
Do I necessarily need the floating layer after rotating? thank you

Hi

I’m brand new on this forum and using GIMP as well!
I would like to know if there are any 'automatic' selection tools such as: straight-edged (square/rectangle) or elliptical (circle/oval) with other shapes: stars, hearts, etc.? Maybe by downloading extensions?

Thanks

I have a bunch of Photoshop *.8bf plugins - some are quite good, and I would like to be able to use them in GIMP 3.
I tried PSPI - doesn't seem to work...maybe I am doing something wrong here.

Any ideas?

Hi, I am trying to get the RawTherapy plugin for importing Canon CR2 raw files into Gimp working but am struggling. I have installed RawTherapy successfully but when I try to open a CR2 file from Gimp I get the error:

There is no RAW loader installed to open 'Raw Canon' files.
GIMP currently supports these RAW loaders:
- darktable (http://www.darktable.org/), at least 1.7
- RawTherapee (http://rawtherapee.com/), at least 5.2
Please install one of them in order to load RAW files.

I am on Ubuntu 24.04.2

I believe I need to install RawTherapy into the "Plugins" folder but cannot locate it's path.

Can any help me with this?

Hi, I just upgraded to Gimp 3.0.2 recently from one of the 2.X versions. For reference, I'm on Windows 10. I'm still getting used to the changes, but one immediately noticeable missing feature is that there doesn't seem to be a 'recent folders' option when exporting files like there used to be.



Since my folders can be a bit all over the place or buried deep in subfolders, this is a real pain, and I don't know why it was removed. Am I just missing something? Thanks.

I'm sure this could be done in v2.10. I copied an image into another one. When I tried to bucket fill / paint the new layer and nothing happened. I merged down the new layer into the original layer and still nothing. Am I missing something?

Is there a script or plugin for gimp that does the same thing as PS 'crop and straighten photos' to separate multiple photos from one scan?

I am trying to restore an old photo that includes a coffee can in the foreground.  I was able to find several donor images of the can I need.  These were rectangularized, flattened, and then stitched together to make a large flat version of the complete can.  The result isn't perfect, but should be fine for what I'm doing.

   


I then used the FILTERS->MAP->MAP OBJECT->Cylinder  filter to make a new 3D cylinder out of it that I could rotate into the proper orientation.  The problem, as pointed out by the arrows, is that several sections of the new cylinder are transparent.  The original flat image has no transparencies.


   

So what is going on here?  How do I make a cylinder with no random transparencies?
