hello,

have been using gimp 2.8.22 for a while on xp3 (32-bit) platform.  wanted to move to vista sp1 (64-bit) platform.  i used the same install for both machines since i cant find a specific vista 64 bit install (gimp-2.8.22-setup)?  research suggested that gimp checks if 32 or 64 bit and installs accordingly (is that correct?)?

everything is working the same on both machines except "python-fu" is not loading/being displayed.   i have verified the folders setup and i have used the plugin browser which does not show the plugins (ex. fog, heal selection).

i have attached shots of user library, program library, gimp shot, and computer details..

i am not sure how to tell or when python is "installed" on this machine?

any help or direction would be appreciated..

thanks dhugg

Hello to all,

I want to work on a picture that I took with my samsung. I wanted to add stuff on  a part of the picture and manually put some black on it (you can do it with any phone I guess). I registered the pic on my onedrive, but I now want to remove the part that I previously add to get the picture back to its oirginal look. Do you know if there is a way to do it with gimp?

With the ofnuts inbetweener I've used paths to make a drawing. The first 'inbetween' is right (blue) but the ones in red minimise to the centre and then maximise to the origin length. Is this normal or is it an error?
   

I drew an image with pencil, scanned that and then put it in gimp. Drew a path, deleted the background and space inside of the path and filled it with color. But somehow there are still remnants of the pencil at the edges. That didn't happen to a different image I drew and filled in though, not sure why. Anyway is there any way to get rid of the pencil remnants?

I'm trying to follow this tutorial, I'm actually making a similar project where I switched out the face in a dollar bill 
https://youtu.be/ssto96FvE24?t=124

If you see it at 2:04 this is where I have trouble. The face I pasted into it is too big, how do I resize it?? I've tried the Scale tool but it just makes the exact part showing in the circle bigger or smaller. It'd be tough to scale it separately off the image because I won't know the exact size to make it to look good in the circle..any tips I'm missing?

Is it possible to install GIMP 2.10 onto Mac 2008 computer?
I teach a GIMP class for seniors here in Sydney, Aust. where we use Windows pcs.  
One student in the November class said she downloaded GIMP 2.10 onto her Mac 2008.  She says GIMP doesn't open.  
Does she need to install and download an earlier version of GIMP for this computer?
Any advice will be much appreciated.

Hello!
I would dearly wish to know if webp, as image format, has any issue with animations over tansparent background when the frames overlap, or the trouble comes from Gimp.
Here I append two gif animations:
    , on transparent background, and
    with the alpha channel removed from each frame
Well, I can get the second one, exported from the same xcf file, in webp--but the first one comes out a mess--some frames merged toghether, and bits of black where there should be transparency...

Thanks!

I dare say it's silly enough. I have a piece of code in Gimp that reads:

Some number of years ago, one of the newer versions of the surface came with some new API for their pen, instead of using the API that Wacom made.
This made it it so that GIMP would not work with the new surface, or rather, using a pen had the same functionality as a mouse, and didn't respond to features like pen pressure.

This was a number of years ago.  I am curious how things stand now.  Has GIMP been updated to work with this microsoft pen API?  Or has Microsoft reverted back to using the Wacom API?  Or, since the latest Surface runs windows 10, has someone developed a way to install the Wacom API onto a surface so that programs that respond to it can be used?


Or is there some other reasonable workaround that lets people use pen pressure in GIMP on a Surface?

Hello,

My wife and I enjoy creating stained glass projects.

Is there a way of opening an image in GIMP and then convert it to outlines of the image?

Typically in stained glass patterns there is a 3mm line that represents the thickness of the soldered areas connecting the various glass pieces together.

say for instance, that I opened an image of a birdhouse in GIMP. 

would it be possible to have that image converted so that there are outlines of all objects within that image?


thank you all
