I lost the original configuration of the gimp windows.
How can I find them?
Thank you.

Using Windows 10 and Gimp 2.8  When I look at the properties of a .png image on my desktop is says it is 377KB  but when I open it in GIMP underneath the canvas it says image.png (2.7 MB)
It's not a problem, I'm just wondering, why the difference ?

SYMMETRY*infinity =

"It would be GREAT to be able to pick the CENTER of the symmetry activity...  and to pick MULTIPLE centers...  also, it would be good to be able to pick N divisions  to symmetry-ize...  or an "angle"...  what if you wanted to do 60 degree?  or 30?  or any 360/N symmetry?  AND be able to choose the CENTER(s) of the symmetry?  For example if i wanted to do guilding type decoration/drawing...  i could drop X number of "pins", and by drawing near one pin, the brushstrokes/tool-action would be replicated around the other pins in the same scale and with the same 360/N (with a 'phase' (rotation)) symmetry.

If i did 360/2, at 0 degree phase, i'd get left right mirroring...  if i did 360/2 at 90 degree phase (rotation), i'd get vertical mirroring, if i did 360/4, at either 0, or no degree phase, i'd get horizontal and vertical symmetry...  and if i did the same with the phase set to 45 degree phase, i'd gate "X" patterned symmetry, instead of "+"...

And if i did 360/3...  or 360/6, etc...  i could get nearly infinite symmetry options...

where is the official feature requests/suggestions area if the interwebz?

Hi I am new to Gimp but a proficient photoshop user. I have some photo album pages with 4-6 images on each and I want to run an auto crop action, photoshop does not work for this. I have downloaded and installed Batch divide scanned images and diskew plugins. But when I try to run the batch divide the dialogue box comes up I can set the load from and destination folders but nothing happens.

Can anyone help with this and or recommend a way to batch divide a lot of scanned pages?
Thanks

Inspired by frustration with trying to get Gimp to shake hands with my Wacom Intuos 3 pen tablet, I went searching for another software that would accomplish my simple goals without so much monkey business.

I discovered a possible interesting solution that I'm trying called SAI (http://www.systemax.jp/en/)
Gimp does a lot of cool stuff, but my simple desire to draw an ink line that shifted in thickness based on the stylus pressure seemed to be an insurmountable task, not to mention all the hoop-jumping just to get Wacom and Gimp to talk

SAI immediately made friends with Wacom, including the simple line drawing feature I was after. It also handles most if not all of the features that Gimp does.

It's not totally free, but the price (around $70 I think) is a far cry from having to rent Photoshop or Painter (idiotic concept)

Herewith, a simple quick sketch demonstrating the line feature. This incorporated layers, saves in native file format as well as Photoshop and the usuals (this is a jpg)

   

My machine is a Mac running OS Sierra all up to date, I use Gimp 2.6.18 for Mac. I am not a computer guy. I am trying to open a texture.file to manipulate it. I have the plugin (gimp-dds-2.0.2) but the installation file does not make sense to me.
                     
Installation
=======================================

1. Type 'make' to build the plugin
2. Type 'make install' to install the plugin. By default the plugin will be
installed in your GIMP user plugin directory ($HOME/.gimp-2.2/plug-ins).  If
you want to install the plugin system-wide, as root you must manually copy the
plugin to the system GIMP plugin directory.

I don't know where to start. Thanks funnnyfarm

Difficult to put a category on this. Maybe a tip for users of old graphics tablets.

This is my Wacom Volito from around 2006 - 11 years old but still works in my regular linux installation. Does it work in Windows10? Yes - with lots of reservations.

   

Here is the epic - Travels With My Wacom - duration 5 min 40 secs. 

I tried setting image parasite
using this in one script

I loaded my image/image map onto a webpage (a sharepoint wiki page). I was hoping that the text I added in the mouse-over box in the GIMP image map tool would appear in a small pop-out when someone moused over any of the hyperlinks that I have mapped in the image.  This is currently not working.  What am I missing?
