I reinstalled Gimp because python-fu refused to start, along with some python related tools.
After reinstalling, the python-fu option is gone from the menu and I get 2 errors at start. Both errors appear in the twain.exe step. Removing twain.exe helped getting rid of the errors, though didn't solve the missing python-fu menu.

Hi all,

Just installed 2.10.4 to try retexturing the radio from Fallout 4 (although I have a few other things in mind too) and am very confused about a particular operation.  None of the many tutorials I read/watched helped out so hopefully someone here can.

Anyways, the DDS for the radio has a couple sections with quite thick woodgrained borders (for the wooden case of the radio) that I'd like to turn into solid colours.  The tools for selecting area via colour don't work very well, I think because of the woodgrain.  So I used the "free select" selection tool (the magic scissors were much to inaccurate) to highlight the outer border then hit Enter to get the marching ants.  So far so good, although around corners I had to use quite of few of those "connector nodes" (hope you know what I mean) while zoomed way in to make nice curves.  But, when I tried using that tool to highlight the inner border (i.e. I want the selection area to be the woodgrainy space between them), hitting Enter made the initial (outer border) disappear. 

I muddled around and eventually discovered that keeping CTRL pressed while making the second (inner border) selection made it possible (sometimes) to save the second selection without the first one disappearing.  So I was eventually able to make both borders and "bucket fill" the area inside them with a solid colour.

The problems: it took me ages to get this done because (i) most of the time, even keeping CTRL pressed resulted in the first selected border (marching ants) to disappear and I'd have to start over (I at least saved the file after doing the first border), and (ii) sometimes, seemingly related to having CTRL pressed, I had little control of placing the nodes.  I could only place them way higher or lower than I wanted.  That was also hit and miss, and starting over often corrected the problem  I'm actually guessing that all that is somehow related to the number of nodes I used.  I only got done by keeping the number of nodes to a minimum.   Which kinda sucked since around corners I like to use a lot of nodes/lines to make the curves smooth.

Although I got it done in the end, it was more ragged than I would have liked.  But I can't help but feel like I'm missing something obvious.  Surely there has to be an easier way?  Almost every tutorial I saw just explained how to make an outline and then edit whatever's inside.  But, in my case, I only want to change a portion of what's inside the initial selection so have to make another one.  I have a feeling that this must be a very common operation so, yeah... help?!  I don't think I can go through that again.

Anyways, hope that all made sense.  I can post an image of the dds if that would help.

Hi guys. I was wondering if any of you could help me. First of, I am new to GIMP so please take that into consideration when explaining things to me. I am learning the violin and was looking for a way to put my tunes of my computer screen. If you look at this youtube video from https://youtu.be/3aud6vZKEIM he has an image that appears on the top right of the screen which shows the notes as they are played. It appears around 1.53 minutes into the video. I would like to make a video that just shows this “follow-along” and be able to put the music to it. I guess it could be played with “Windows Movie Maker” but I don't know how to make the animation in the first place. Thanks in advance for your help.

I've been using GIMP for several years now, and have always liked the functionality of the program for the most part.

I mean it is a free program afterall.

This last update however, I'm a bit annoyed with.  The overall layout and interface is nice, and looks great.

However, I'm very disappointed with the amount of times it crashes.

For instance, this afternoon I'm working on a flyer for a customer, and I need to pull some images from the previous years flyer, and it will not open 2 .xcf files.

It crashes every time!  In prior versions you could have several .xcf files open, and have no issues.

   

Has anyone else have, or had, this issue?  How did you get it corrected?

I've also noticed this same error when attempting to use some of the filters as well.

Up to 2.8, I always saw my Toollox on top-left side.
Upgraded to 2:10 Where did my tool box go ?

Have tried to add it back but cannot see any option.
Tried restting tool otions to default, and no change.

I have gone from being able to use 2.8, to be unable to use 2.10.
Why was there no warning when I upgraded ?


Thanks.

Hi everybody!
Recently I have installed Gimp 2.10 and have been learning how to use it. My problem is that in Filters>Distorts there's no IWarp filter. What went wrong? Is it a problem with installation or it occurred later? 

What should I do?

Thanks a lot!

Hi!

I need help and advice on how to make a portrait photo wider by expanding the portrait background color. Please see link below for an example of how the photo can look like. 

So basically I have a similar portrait photo as in the link that I want to use on the front page of a website and thus need to make it wider for aesthetic purposes. I want it to be wider by making a nice continuation of the background that the model is in front without it looking like there is a clear line where the real photo ends.

Does anybody have advice on how to achieve this?

In 2.10, the "open as layers" option loads the layers so slowly.

I do lots of frame animations, so this is a useful feature for me to load all the frames in a single stack, but even with small frames like 64x64 pixels the loading is so slow . . .

I opened 2.8 and loaded a bunch of frames and it was extremely fast compared to 2.10.

Is there something in the settings I can change to fix this?

Having trouble printing photos. The first one I printed in sepia, colour was okay and the image was sharp but it had lots of vertical lines in the print. Then printing out the same image again the print came out very grainy and in greyscale although the vertical lines had disappeared. Now I can't get it to print out a high quality image. Grateful for any advice and suggestions.
