I re-installed 2.8.22 abpout a week ago
Everything worked fine, yesterday the option (lighting effects/drop shadow) was no longer there, or anywhere else as far as I can determine.
I can make my own of course, but it is a multi-step operation

What happened?
Can I get it back or would I need to reinstall all over again? (I don't think I want to do that)

   

Of Nuts suggested I ask here regarding one of his scripts...

I downloaded his "In-Betweener" Py script
Inserted it into my Gimp program (as I've done with other scripts which I use successively)
The script is not showing up in my filters or my menu bar as the others do
Yes, I restarted Gimp, even rebooted my computer

This is a preliminary sketch I'm working up with Gimp for a finished piece. A 5"x7" greeting card... most of the greeting cards (done since 1980) are humorous rural subjects... so is this one - - "Hot Date" 

I am confused as to when the best time is to change a photo's resolution from 76 to 300 for printing out a 5 X 7 High Quality print. Do I do it before or after cropping? Do I do it at all and just change the size to 5 X 7 from it's original size of 19 X 25 inches at 76 resolution and let the program do the calculating? I guess I'm confused as to which setting determines the final quality?

Hi,

I look for a coach/master/guru to give me instructions regularly to finish works in 2D and demonstrate what I can do.
He/she should ideally be experimented in order to push me to a new level.
I have a good level in drawing and master the basics of Gimp/Krita but use it mostly to colour a blueprint with layers and homogenic colours with a mouse.
I think that I would benefit much from somebody's instructions to produce and improve within my art: reducing the possibilities, chosing a format, a topic, a style; giving an example to interpretate, etc.

Thank you if you have a few seconds a day and the temperament to do that.

Having done illustrations for books, magazines, cards, ads, gift products (like puzzles, wall decor) since 1970... I'm simplifying, Gimp does most of the things I did in the past with Photoshop, Corel Painter, etc. with a lot less hassle...
Should you be curious to look go to Web Site or the FaceBook page

Here's a cool Dymo Label Text Effect that RJKD suggested to me to script.

   

This is driving me a bit crazy so I hope someone can help.



I'm using the latest version of GIMP. I want to copy a 15cm x 15cm image to a different document. Whenever I do that, it enlarges it massively to about 60cm!!! No problem you might think. Just resize it down again....but no. Whenever I do that, the detail and quality of the image is massively reduced. It definitely does not look like the 15cm image in the first document. 

When I click to resize the over-enlarged image, I notice that the resolution has changed from 300 to 72. When I try to change it back to 300 and also choose a dimension of 15cm x 15cm, it won't let me. If I insist on changing it to 300, it decides the image size must be no larger than 3.6cm x 3.6cm! I don't understand why this is happening when I'm pasting an image over to a different document. Is it GIMP? Is there something I can do to prevent this from happening?
