Hi, I've been using Gimp for a while and have an account on DeviantArt. I notice a lot of resources there are saved in a RAR format. Can they be used with Gimp 2.8 or is it something that is usually used by Photoshop? Thanks. 

Joined up today to say thanks to ofnuts for his new Remove Tangents plugin.


If you've ever stroked a path you created and noticed that segments were mysteriously absent or not as thick as the rest, it's because of these tiny tangents. This has been a thorn in my side for years but it has never been fixed in the core. 




I swear I would have given up working with paths in gimp years ago if not for ofnuts. His tools and plugins have seriously overcome the deficiencies inherent in gimp. 

Couldn't find a :notworthy: emoticon, so I'll just settle for this. 

Cheers

Hi,
I am currently running Linux Mint 19.1 as my O/S.
I am aware that you can add an ICC printer profile in GIMP for Softproofing but is there a way to send that profile to the printer directly from GIMP?
I would like to add a profile for my Graphics art quality OKI Laser printer Pro 9431. I have tried adding profiles in 'colord' but makes no difference that I can see. I have checked that the Gnome Color Manager is correctly installed. Would I use the 'Assign profile' or 'Convert to Color Profile'?

TIA
John

HELP! 
I created a .png image with transparent background by selecting add alpha channel, then selecting the background colour and clicking on colour to alpha which made what seemed like a perfect .png image. However, whenever I cut and paste it, it comes up 10X lighter than the actual image (which is in greyscale, not set to greyscale just devoid of any other colours). 
I've tried darkening the image so it was still legible and it always comes out very light. 
I've made plenty of .png images, and this is the first time this has occurred. 
Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thank you in advance!

NEVERMIND. I solved the issue. I couldn't find where to delete this thread, sorry. Just ignore it.

Hello, is there an option in GIMP for seeing what I'm cloning (cloned area) when using the Clone Tool, like the way the clone tool in photoshop does?

Doing it without a visual help is too difficult. 

Thanks in advance.

I am a photographer, and am trying to escape from the expensive annual updates for apps which can be used for waterless darkroom work.

No offense is intended, but, I looked at your mission statement, and the above question arose in my addled brain. Free art is great, but if I have a serious question about working digital color or monochrome photography in GIMP, will this be the best venue for an answer?

Thank you

How would one attempt to duplicate the circle in the middle using Gimp? Please help! must be transparent just like in the image.

So I was watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kPpfLmelIs And right at the very beginning you can see he sets up a little preview window that shows what his given selection would look like if it were tiled.  I thought this was amazing because it gives him a real-time preview of the changes he makes to his design, where as I have had to make various changes, and then use filters -> Maps -> Tile to generate a preview image of what my selection looks like when it tiles.  It's effective, but it is a bit time consuming, and I would love to be able to see those changes real-time without having to run special commands; especially at the very early stages of creating a tile.

Is there any plug-in or way to create such an effect in GIMP?  I'd like to keep all my work in GIMP if I could, rather than having to get this iDraw just for one single feature.
