Backstory: I was working my way through Frank Walters' GIMP Workbook (2023) and happened to come across a reference to a font called Rockwell. I hadn't heard of Rockwell before and didn't find it among the fonts that GIMP had access to, so I looked a little farther.

I'd been using Windows 10 for five years but recently upgraded(?) to Windows 11. Apparently the fonts in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder aren't the ones that Windows 11 actually uses. A note at the top of the folder window says:

--------------------------------
ATTENTION: This page is being decoupled from Fonts Control Panel.
For more font settings go to the Fonts page in the Settings app.
--------------------------------

I went to the Fonts page in the Settings app and found what looked like the same list of fonts, only in a different format. Rockwell wasn't listed in either place but the Settings app page offered a link to the Microsoft Store.  I downloaded "Rockwell Nova" and it apparently installed successfully. It now shows up on the Settings app Fonts page and at least one app (Open Office Writer) can now access it.

However: Rockwell still doesn't show up in the list of fonts that GIMP can access. In GIMP, Edit > Preferences > Folders > Fonts shows the folders where GIMP will look for its fonts and lets me add other folders if necessary. None of the listed folders contain the newly-installed font, I can't find fonts in any other folder that I have access to, and there's no "downloads" folder with anything in it that looks like a font. Is there any way to tell GIMP where to look for the new font? Or is Microsoft hiding their up-to-date font list somewhere where GIMP can't get to it, and only allowing access to the legacy fonts inherited from Windows 10?

I'm sure I could get along just fine without ever using the Rockwell font in GIMP. Still, might this foreshadow similar font-access problems for other GIMP and Windows 11 users?

GIMP 2.10.38 (revision 1)

On the "Export Image as PNG" dialog, my compression level was set to 9, causing png exports to take over 60s.  If I set it to 4, about 2s.  Awesome, but the next time the dialog comes up: 9.  Is there a way to set this permanently to 4?  (either inside gimp, or somewhere out in config/options/settings files)

Greetings all,

I've used multiple versions of Gimp over the years, although I would not say I'm very good.  It's my first time using Gimp 3.0.0-RC2 (or any 3.0).  Currently running Suse Tumbleweed.

I have svg files created using older versions of gimp (from August of last year, unsure of the edition).  I successfully opened these files in 3.0 but all of my layers are gone.  It's compressed them into a single layer.   Same with xcf-1.0 and xcf 2.0 files.

Is there anything I can do besides going back to Gimp 2.0?  

Apologies if this has already been asked and thanks for your help!

Online, but interesting to try : AI text remove : https://www.experte.com/image-cleaner/text-remover

I tried the text remover on a BW photo with colored text. Just painted letters, one by one.

   

Can anyone help me here, please?  I can only get the Text Tool to write in a green colour, or black. It was all ok last time I used the text tool some weeks ago & I could get any colour from the pallette.   What am I doing wrong or has something changed?
I am using Gimp 2.10.38 on Windows 11. I have attached a file.

Pareidolia is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one detects an unintended object, pattern, or meaning.

I hope I can explain this...

I have been using Photoshop Elements 7 for years.

95% of the images I run through Elements get one or two same operations and then get saved as both a PSD and a jpeg.

Now, this is why I have been investigating GIMP, the version I have is 2.10.34

When I save from Elements, much of my Metadata gets stripped and I have to meticulously replace it, especially iptc data and keyword tags.

When I export the same jpegs from GIMP, all of my Metadata remains intact save for GIMP stripping away the "Subject" in "Properties" and stripping away the embedded comment.

If I could get GIMP to perform my operations in quick batch form like I am able to with Elements, I would switch to using GIMP.

Here is my usual procedure:

I load a folder full of photos in Elements 7.

I may drag the Background layer of some photos on top of others while looking at all of them in tiles.

Then, I have a one-click batch process that duplicates the stamped-visible layer, adds High Pass Sharpen with Soft Light Mode and a layer mask, and then adds a Stamp-Visible layer on top of that. 

Then, I have a one-click process that saves all open photos at once as PSD and saves them in a specified folder that does not change until I change it, even if the program is closed and reopened.

Then, I have another one-click process that saves them all as jpeg and saves them in a different specified folder.

Is it possible to duplicate this process in GIMP; and, if so, how ?

I have studied the manual and made several attempts at this and always give up in frustration.

I am using a Windows 7 Pro machine.

Thanks.
