I just upgraded to GIMP 2.10 from 2.8 on my Linux Mint 18 system. However, when I try to re-install the GIMP Plugin Registry, I get dependency errors for various packages which Synaptic has earlier versions of, which clearly don't work with the 2.10 version.

Has anyone else encountered this problem and, if so, is there a solution?

Hi I am new to this forum. I have been using Gimp since 2009. 
I recently had my Wacom tablet break on me, so I went and  bought
a XP-Pen G640S temporary tablet/pen. Gimp does not recognize this
pen with any of the tools. It works fine in PS. So what gives?
Thanks in advance if you have any suggestions.

Went back to Gimp 2.8.22 because of the weird behaviour of the Gaussian Blur
Tried to open two images i made with Gimp 2.10 and got an error.

Nothing special about them: one is an image with simple text, the other was the test image for the Blur behaviour.

I'm testing automated tools. This function is in the "colors>auto>normalize". I tried this function to many photos. I don't see any difference in any of pictures I tried. Where should I focus on when I utilize this normalize automatic photo enhancement function?

Hi, im new to the forum.

Some of you may or may not have noticed a recent meme that's been popping around. It comes from the new Avengers: Infinity War movie.  I won't spoil it I will just say there is a scene where a particular person is "fading away"; bits of them slowing breaking away and disapearing from reality. Here are some examples of the meme.

There are already photoshop tutorials out there. I sort of figured out a way to do it but it's not entirely ideal. I'm sure there is a better way or additional steps we can take to improve it. I only tested it on a piece of text on a white background. Here is my process.

-Use Iwarp to stretch the object in a desireable shape.
-select a region close or a part of the region that hasn't been warped yet
-Filters>Distorts>Mosaic, and set it to a desired shape. (I used triangles) and set everything else as desired.
-repeat above on all the regions till it looks the way you want it.
-can help to first make big triangles then warp again and make smaller ones.

I am interested in seeing what anyone else can come up with.

My computer is very low on space on drive C:\ so the installation fails when uncompressing the files.
The only way i could get more space would be to take drastic measures and uninstall something important.

Hi, 

I'm receiving the warning that the installation file for GIMP 2.10 downloaded from 'https://www.gimp.org/' carries SMG.Heur!gen with it. 
Is anyone else receiving this alert when trying to install?

Thanks

You guys experiencing this as well ?

I fill a selection with white, open the Gaussian Blur, play around with the values and everything looks fine but after i hit OK, the blur looks weird and has some kind of halo....

I have a circle that I want to add a small rectangle to the top and bottom. (Think like an apple stem). So I have the circle on one layer. 
I create new layer and make the "stem" with rectangle tool. 
So far so good.
Now I want my "stem" to be identical on the bottom. So I want to duplicate layer nd then flip the new layer so it' now on bottom.

My problem is this...
When I flip the new layer, the 1st "stem" layer flips also!
Now I have 2 on the bottom and none on top. I'm pulling my hair out!

Why does the other (not highlighted) layer flip also?
More importantly, how do I stop this from happening? 

Thanks in advance,

Hello, bit of a newbie here. 

I am trying to add keyword metadata in GIMP (2.10, on a Windows 10 laptop) for microstock work. I've found the metadata menu, added description and keywords etc in the appropriate boxes - but when i export to jpg it doesn't seem to be there.

If i open the file using irfanview and check the IPTC, there's nothing there. Shutterstock has picked up the title but nothing else (picks up the keywords I add with irfanview though); 123RF manages to find the keywords but not title or description. 

Am I doing something wrong or is it just the quirks of various sites and/or programs? Any suggestions for a foolproof method?!

Thanks!
