This user has a long and noteworthy track record of not understanding how/where/why/when/who GIMP is installed on my Win10 PCs. I have just noticed that some components of my installed version 2.10.38 (replacing 2.10.28, I think, some considerable time ago) appear in two places, at least. For example:

- %AppData%\Local\Programs\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\brushes

-%AppData%\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\brushes

Most of the resource folders in this 2.10 directory are more than 2 years old and are empty (e.g. the brushes folder), but all of the files in 2.10 with filename ‘*rc’ (no extension) were updated this morning. So I am in doubt about whether or not I can delete this GIMP data in %AppData%\Roaming\.

Any advice?

SO…I have some questions about brushes, first one is, if I alter a brush type and size can I save those settings so that I  I don't have to readjust a brush again to get those settings? And if I can where would I find that brush should I want to use it again. Also, is there a way to pick out a few favorite brushes to make a set out that I can dock, so I don't have to go through all of the brushes to find them every time. Thank you for any help.

Hello,

I am not that experienced with GIMP and am facing following "problem":
On the internet, I found a picture with a name written on it in a kind of "calligraphy" style with a nice "ink look". (see picture attached)

   

I would like to copy the same effect ("calligraphy ink") on some text/name I have in my own design.
Off course, I chose a font representing the calligraphic look, but the color is always "flat". I would need/like to apply the "ink look" on to my font.

Does anyone have any idea how to achieve this?

I have played around with gathering the color pallete of the original and applying this as a gradient, but this didn't work out as I would like to. The effect still remained a "gradient" (logically) whereas I am looking for the "ink look".

Thanks a lot.

I recently tried out the rc3 appimage of Gimp 3, and I am absolutely blown away by the non-destructive editing. This is the greatest thing I have seen in Gimp ever. The problem is none of my scripts for 2.10 work.

I have the Flatpak version of 2.10.38. I cannot run both the appimage and flatpak versions at the same time. If one is started, then the other one doesn't start.

This is crazy since many programs, like Blender, let me run multiple instances at the same time.

Is there a way to run both at the same time? I remember a similar issue with 2.8 and 2.10. Also I believe 2.6 and 2.8.

here is an example of artistic modifications of a failed photo with Gimp (still 2.10). Flowery cliff on the Normandy coast

Bonjour,
nouvellement inscrit sur ce forum, j'ai créé mon compte sur un petit PC portable.
Alors le forum était en français.
Mais je travail principalement sur un Mac de bureau. Et lorsque je me connecte sur mon Mac, le forum s'ouvre en anglais.
J'ai fouillé un peu partout, mais impossible de trouver un onglet pour passer en français.
Je ne comprend pas un mot d'anglais.
Pouvez vous m'aider a traduire le forum en français?

Not sure whether to ask this here or in the Gimp 3 forum. Is there any documentation anywhere on how to update python plugins that work with Gimp 2.10 so that they function with Gimp 3? I have half a dozen for calling the various Nik collection programs that I use with Gimp 2.10, but when I copy the same plugins to the plugins folder for Gimp 3, they don't get added to the Filter menu.

I have used Gimp minimally for many years, mostly to rescale images and/or converting file formats.
I have never used layers.
I simply want to paste several images on page (8.5x11 sheet of paper) to print them.
In my recent attempt I think I was able to paste another into the file, but I'm guessing they are on top of each other. If so I don't know how to move the 2nd one pasted to another position in my imaginary grid.
I would accept any reasonable way to do this whether it involves layers.

Thank you,

Paul

Qualcuno può indicarmi come recuperare il colore dei file .jpg dalla scansione di VECCHIE pellicole o diapositive a colori. Ad esempio, in GIMP sarebbe necessario avere una replica del comando ottenibile "un tocco" con Photoshop CS2 v9: IMMAGINE > REGOLAZIONI > COLORE AUTOMATICO (e anche IMMAGINE > REGOLAZIONI > CONTRASTO AUTOMATICO).

Lavorando su grandi quantità di file da correggere con lo stesso metodo, troverei utili anche in GIMP alcune indicazioni per registrare un comando Batch, equivalente al comando Photoshop AZIONE
Grazie a chiunque possa darmi suggerimenti.

Hi all and apologies if this has been posted before.

I'm trying the shear function with alpha numeric characters and am trying to get a 15 degree slant. However I only seem to be able to shear with x and y values but not in degrees.

Does anyone know how to switch to degrees?

Thanks,
