Hello, I am new to Linux and Gimp.
I am trying to print photos and although they seem ok in the program they come out with
poor contrast and de-saturated red, in fact rubbish.
I have printed the same pictures in windows using photoshop pro with no problem.
The printer is an epson P50 with epson premium glossy paper. All inks full.
Has anyone any ideas?
Thanks
David

Ubuntu 18.04.
I'm trying to Install BIMP. I managed in 16.04, but in 18.04 I've had a cascade of problems.
First I had errors. Then I read in the BIMP github repository that you now need Gimp version 2.10 or greater.
I did an apt-get remove with a --purge flag of my Gimp version 2.8.22, and installed Gimp 2.10 from the software center.
But the errors persisted.
It seems that my gimptool-2.0 is still on version 2.8.22, but I can't figure out how to upgrade it. I've searched for a while. Any help?

Hi,
I am trying to write a script which would insert an image as a layer within layers of another image. Here is what I got so far :
Code:
(define (foobar filename)
(let* (
; open image to add
(inputfile (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename filename)))
(picture (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer inputfile)))
; open file to insert image into
(template (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE "template.xcf" "template.xcf")))
)
; add picture to template
(gimp-image-insert-layer template picture 0 -1)
; flatten image
(gimp-image-flatten template)
; couldn't get this line to work outside the next one, probably have to investigate "let" syntax
; (drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-drawable template)))
(file-jpeg-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE template (car (gimp-image-get-active-drawable template)) "outfile.jpg" "outfile.jpg" 0.95 0.95 1 1 "" 2 1 0 2)
)
)
I call the script with gimp -i -b '(foobar "picture.jpg")' -b '(gimp-quit 0)'.
However it fails on gimp-image-insert-layer :
Quote:GIMP-Error: Calling error for procedure 'gimp-image-insert-layer':
Item 'Background' (2) has already been added to an image
batch command experienced an execution error:
Error: ( : 1) Procedure execution of gimp-image-insert-layer failed on invalid input arguments: Item 'Background' (2) has already been added to an image
I am struggling to understand this, the only results I get are two old threads on GF.c from which the useful replies have been removed…
What's wrong with my script ?

New baby. Its purpose is to make it easy to coalesce many layers into a single image (for instance, to simultaneously edit the colors of all frames in an animation) or to split a single layer into many tiles (for instance to restore the animation).
As a side effect, it can also be used to arrange layers of identical size in a gird.
ofn-layer-tiles is here.
As usual, the ZIP contains an HTML doc.

| How do I create a printable grid with scanned images in each sqaure? |

Hello everyone!
This is my first post, so bear with me if the formatting is a little wonky. 
I am starting a project where I take small images and quotes and cut them into squares on an 8.5x11.00in cardstock. What I would like to do, but am not sure how to do, is to divide a layer in gimp into a grid, with boxes ~4x5 on the paper. Then, I would like to paste the scanned images I have into each of those squares, export, and print.
Using render>pattern has gotten me to a certain point, but it's not very printer friendly, the alignment seems kinda off, and I feel like I am reinventing the wheel. What would be perfect is if each square was its own instance, as in a separate layer so I can work within each box separately without grabbing other places as well; I am not sure if that's possible or over-complicated?
I am not totally new to GIMP, although I haven't used it in about 2 years.

| Suddenly copy changes brush |

I've been using Gimp 2.8.14p2 (January 9, 2015) for at least the last three months on a Mac running El Capitan. A few weeks ago it started doing something new, though I gather it's what's supposed to happen.
Until a week or so ago, I could copy and paste without changing the brush in any of the tool options. Now when I copy and paste something I have to change the brush from "clipboard" back to the circular shape I had before.
When I copy something from an image, I want to paste it, not change the brush. I want to keep the brush I had.
What changed, and how can I change it back?
