Hey Guys and Gals,

I've got a strange problem I couldn't find the answer to on the internet.

I have a new layer with some text and select that text to treat it with a gaussian blur. But when I select the filter in the filter dropdown menu I cannot interact with the filter GUI. I can't check or uncheck the preview box and interact with the parameters. I even cannot exit the window via the "cancel" button, only by pressing escape.

Restarting my mac or reinstalling GIMP didn't work so now I'm stranded. 

Somebody knows anything?

Kind Regards

Hey guys,

This is a dark theme based on the Advaita Dark theme for GNOME. I modified the gtkrc file (with a lot of trial and error) and merged files from Advaita and the default 'Dark' theme to get this. It was made with GIMP 2.97, so I'm not sure it works with older versions.

   



It was made as a standalone because using Advaita Dark as the system theme interferes with other applications, like the browser etc.

Download the theme file here:
  Advaita Dark GIMP Theme.zip (Size: 160.29 KB / Downloads: 2293)



How to install (for newbies),

Extract the file to the 'themes' folder within GIMP.

Then open GIMP, Go to Edit --> Preferences --> Themes --> Advaita Dark





There are still a couple of things I noticed that needed fixing, but I haven't figured out how to solve them yet. Like...



This outline that comes around the recently accessed button.
   



The system theme based outline color around the panels (which I think would be better if it was something dark)
   



...and to match the color of the ruler to the tab.
   


Also I don't know if any better dark themes are available.... and all this might be irrelevant.  ^_^

Hello, newbee here. I have Gimp version 2.8.22 installed on my computer with PCLinuxOS
64bit KDE5 as O.S.
But when I hoover with my mouse over for instance an icon in the toolbox the pop-up square is empty.
What did I forgot to do?

Hi experts,

I'm new in the forum and also in Gimp. I've been following several tutorials and I made some changes to a photo and I think the photo is now better.

I would like to ask how can I give a title, description, keywords and copyright to my photo in Gimp (Metadata)?
I would like to upload my photo to a Stock Photography website, but I'm not seing where I can introduce all these necessary data in Gimp.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers.

Hi,
Looking to see if there is an easy way or a plugin  that will allow me to take an image and warp in the shape of an Arc similar to the 'Warp' Arc feature in our well known rival. I have tried various 'Warp' options that GIMP offers, 'Curve Bend', 'iWarp' and 'Polar Co-ordinates'.
I am trying to take a photographic image and shape to fit on a Latte shaped mug. I can create a template of the overall required shape but unable to get the image to fit correctly.
All searches on Google point to Photoshop. I run Linux and quite happy with GIMP. Is there possibly a plugin? I have searched for one but came up empty.
TIA for any help, hints etc.

Hello to all!

I am attempting to read Ascii files into Scheme. For some reason unknown to me, accented letters (ExtendedASCII) are ignored.

I am using the following statements:

Hi there, I'm new to Gimp and to this forum, I've been doing Gimp for about a month now and although I didn't understand it in the beginning it's really quite user friendly, BTW. I use 2.8 

anyway I ran into a problem making mine own homemade business-cards, and that is that the front and the back do not perfectly overlap when printed.

I'm trying to push everything a little bit by chance and then hoping for the best, using a lot of draft paper, but it's still off by about 2 mm on the print.

I see one solution would be to make a larger bleeding area, as of now I have zero bleeding area, but I would rather like to understand how to make a perfect overlap.

more specifically: Horizontally the overlap seems perfect; Vertically it's off by 2 mm 

also I discovered that when you print the front and then turn the paper around and put it back in the printer everything turns opposite so that what was printed on the left side of the paper is now printed on the right side.

Thanks,

Hi,


I have started using the software and have managed to create silhouettes from three images, I want to place them on a beach scenes, however the background of the silhouette images are white, is there an option to have them transparent so I just get the silhouette and no background?

Hopefully I've explained what I'm trying to do clearly ?

I feel not very convenient to look for the image inside the GIMP application
I want to open the image with GIMP directly with mouse right-click as soon as I see
the file I desire
However in the mouse list there is no way I can start with GIMP

I have an xcf project which is so large that when it exports to tiff it fails due to reaching the tiff file limit size. This is due to the 32bit tiff file size limit. I would like to be able to export my image to BigTiff, the 64bit tiff file type. Currently, I am able to work around this by cropping the file into pieces, saving them each as 32bit tiff files, and then using ImageMagick to append the files into a TIFF64 BigTiff output file.

How do I get GIMP to export as TIFF64?

Thanks
