I'm having an issue with fonts. Unlike most other posts I've found, my GIMP starts up just fine. It when I actually try and use the text tool that the program takes too long to load fonts. I've already been waiting for about an hour it feels like. Can someone help me?

Hello!

I've been reading a bit about the gimp batch mode and gimp scripts but I'm not sure what I'm trying to do is possible and I was looking for some guidance.

I have multiple PDF files (let's say 100). I want to batch open them with GIMP (specifying the resolution - DPI) and maybe even more options (Anti-aliasing, the layer etc). Then I want to directly export them as PDF again (specifying the export options - apply layer masks, convert bitmaps and omit hidden layers).

Is this possible in the first place? And if yes, could you please give me some pointers as to how I can achieve that?

Thank you very much in advance!

The upper image is the original; the bottom image is my attempt to bucket-fill with tan replacing the gray. This is very close to the minimum threshold to eliminate all of the dark gray, and as you can see, the tan that I bucket filled with is overlaying the white as well… not REPLACING the white, but mixing with it. This has happened recently with a variety of different images, with a variety of different colors both in the images and with the attempted bucket-fills; the result is as if I was looking at the image through tinted glasses, rather than the bucket fill just working on the selected color. I must have accidentally changed some sort of setting… does anyone have any idea what it might be?

Hello!
Under my previous Gimp (2.8) I could select both paths and layers for alignment--but under Gimp10, the alignment selector seems to bypass visible paths. 
This loss of functionality, is by design? Or am I missing something? (besides a tool I liked...)
Thanks!

When I create any shape, for example rectangle or circle, and then use shear tool, how can I know what is perfect isometric transform ?

I use shear magnitue along Y but I never know what is true isometric value of it.

Hi all!

So, some of you may know that I created/run the "GIMP Users" group over on Google+ (https://plus.google.com/communities/1125...3300949378).

With the shutdown of G+ looming eventually, I wanted to start directing folks to other, better places.

This is obviously one of them.  I just wanted to make sure it was ok first.  What say you, GIMP wizards?

I downloaded the Resynthesizer plugin that is 'supposed' to work on Gimp 2.10 - but it doesn't? When searching the site, the directions seem to be for Mac and Windows. Can anyone tell me how to make it work for Linux? I LOVE this plugin!

Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to save or export a pattern in GIMP 2.10 in Windows 10. I opened Folders in Preferences and set C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\patterns as my writable patterns folder. Then I went through the drill of using Filters > Map > Tile Seamless to prepare my image. Finally I tried Save As, navigating to my patterns folder, naming the file Pink1.pat, and clicking to save. That resulted in an error message directing me to the Export function. That resulted in the attached error message.

Since that didn't work, I went back and selected the other available option,
C:\Users\slipp\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\patterns, as my writable folder. This time I went directly to Export As, but got no further than C:\Users\slipp. At that point, I found no AppData option, only a .gimp-2.8 folder.

I was able to export as pink1.pat into that folder, but then had to copy and paste into the C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\... folder to access it from within GIMP.

That worked, but seems like a bug. Why doesn't GIMP let me export directly into the folder I need to use?

So, I just installed GIMP on my new laptop, and the brush tools don't want to work. Anything that involves you drawing on the page refuses to do anything. The eraser, airbrush, pencil, paintbrush, all of it behaves the same way when I try to use it. When I click, the brush indicator stays where I clicked, nothing happens, and the indicator doesn't move no matter how much I move the mouse with the button held down.

I've made sure that nothing is selected, I made sure that I was on the correct layer, the pixels aren't locked, and the opacity is at 100% on the tools and the layer that I was working on. I tried re-installing it, but nothing happened.

I also went under Edit -> Preferences and re-set them to the default just to be sure, but nothing changed.

Anyone have any ideas?
