Hello

I used to be able to use GIMP to paste transparent images onto existing backgrounds. All I had to do was right-click and 'Copy Image' then 'Paste Into Place' on the existing background image. Recently, it has not been working at all. All I get after pasting the transparent image is a black background as shown in the screenshot below. I have GIMP 2.10.8. I use Chrome and Windows 10. Would using an older version of GIMP solve my issue?

Thank you 

Hi...

Everyone knows American Gothic, painted by Grant Wood.



Let's play with it, and GIMP, of course...

I should like to put these walking feet in green water instead of purple. How can I do this?

I've designed a font I want to use in Inkscape. At the moment I have to design each word I want to use and then export it from Inkscape and then drop it into gimp. Is there a way I can just " Upload" the alphabet in the of the font I've designed so I can just type words I want to use in gimp?

Many many thanks,

Good morning, everybody.

I'd like to ask how to draw colors in selections that are based on angles, for example, like on the cover of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" album, as such:

The width of the rainbow expands as it goes further away from the prism, and the width of each individual color expands right along with it at 1/6th the width of the total width at any given point along the rainbow. I know that I can easily hand-draw it, but then the ratios wouldn't be right, and it would look really, really, awfully, terribly unprofessional.

Also, while I'm on the topic, I'd like to also ask how I can do fuzzy blends of the same thing, for example such as something like this:

or this:

etc.

Thank you all in advance

As an antidote to the awful java coding I currently have to do at work, I had to write some python, so here is ofn-engraving that takes you from this:

   

   

Hi!
I recently installed Gimp(2.10.8) on my computer and I am having trouble installing the resynthesizer plugin.
I downloaded the plugin, unzipped and put the .exe and .py files in the plug-ins folder, but the Heal selection still does not show up in the filters menu. I was previosly using another computer and had no problem with this.
Also noticed that the python-fu entry is missing. Is that the problem and how do I fix it?
This is on windows 7

When using Engrampa to open a zip file, I get

Gimp Opening file for reading: Permission Denied

When attempting to use Blend, Rippling, Spinning Globe, Waves, in the Animation section of Gimp 2.10.6, with windows 10 version 1809, I get the following message.   atom>string: needs 1 argument.
Please how do I fix this or are there some alternative scripts.
Thank you

No matter what settings I use (at least the settings that I am aware of), when I am outputting a file, the resulting files are blurry and hard to read.

I'm uploading examples so you can see what I mean. In this case I typed up some nonsense in Word, printed it out and scanned it as a PDF. Then I opened the PDF in GIMP and made no changes to the file. I outputted the files as both a PDF (soft and blurry), and a PNG (okay, but prints out soft and blurry). I have even tried printing directly from GIMP and it didn't improve anything.

If it helps to know this, the original document was scanned at 400x400 black and white.

How do I fix this problem? I tried inputting the original PDF into GIMP at various DPIs and it didn't change anything. Am I just using the wrong software for this sort of thing?
