Hello. I am having trouble with G'mic. The final result isn't the same as what I see in the preview window. It doesn't always happen, but often it does.

How can I correct this? For some reason this wont let me attach a print screen, so I can only type text..

Hi all,

When I try to open or save files in GIMP 2.8.20 (and earlier versions) I get a popup that says "Cannot Read Contents of Folder"

I get this trying to open/save from/to different folders and I can't figure out how to fix it. Could someone help me please?

I'm not really new to GIMP, so I'm able to navigate around pretty well. Any help would be a huge boost. Thanks!

im almost done with my beetle but how do I select the head and make it red but avoid making the eyes red and keeping the eyes blue. thank you

   

When Gimp starts, it loads settings:

• Active tool (for each pointing device)
  
• Foreground and background colors
  
• Pattern
  
• Brush
  
• Pattern
  
• Palette
  
• Font
  
• Interpolation method
  
• Specific settings for each tool
  

• Some fixed settings you have set once for all
  
• The settings at the end of your last session
  

• Set everything as you wish (active tool, colors... use the list above as a starting point). 
  
• Open Edit>Preferences-->Tool options
  
• Untick Save tool options on exit
  
• Click Save tool options now
  

I guess this is kinda picky, but is the FG/BG tool supposed to open with white foreground?
When I want a new screen, I always have to click the FG/BG tool or go to advanced options in the file new dialog and say open in foregraund color. 
Is there a way to get it to open with black foreground and white background?
I've looked at all the items in edit preferences and can't find it.

Hi All

I seem to be having quite a lot of trouble with the Foreground Select tool.

The 1st stage works alright - I  draw an area around the part I want to select. The Lasso changes to a brush. I paint a line inside the image to select different 

shades of colour. But when I release the mouse button instead of the 'marching ants' selected area I get the following:


   

It seems to work about once in every 20/30 times.

Is it me?

Many thanks.

While waiting to board my plane the other day (the one at the bottom right) I spotted an A380 ready to take off. So, phone stuck against the window (avoids parasite reflections and stabilizes it) and push "record". Video not too good, but I had fun extracting the frames and making a reverse time lapse (is there a better name for this)? Some intensive use of my ofn-layer-aligner script to make sure all layers were aligned properly before cropping.

Running 2.8.20 under Windows 10
I've gotten a couple of .abr brushes from deviant art.
I've installed them in: C:/users/ED/Gimp-2.8/brushes.
They don't show up after starting Gimp.
Do I need to put them somewhere else?

sorry to make excessive threads this is a pain! you know how in gimp you have a color selection right? you can then pick the color of your project. my project (see below) is of a dung beetle but the colour is a hue of blue that is hard to pick out. gimp usually saves your colour choice but this time it is gone! I tried to make the colors again but no luck  what do I do? )

thx
