Hi all,

I just want to decrease the resolution of my image. The problem is that every time I try it also affects the image's size.
I go to the Image menu, then Scale image.

Thanks guys,

the colours transitions looks like a staircase or height curves on a map. how would i go about to smooth out the colours? http://prnt.sc/eslewq i just want this to be a smooth transition. if there is no automated function or script or whatever i dont care, il do it manually then with one of the brush tools. the image im working with is quite huge its 8160*26144, so the picture in the link is like 1000*1000 pixels of my image, so i have allot of pixels to work with so i can use as much different colours as the program can handle in order to smooth it out.

   
I usually do rough doodles as preliminaries - concepts for paintings
"Tuff" is a sketch I just did with Gimp...

I have succeeded in getting my Wacom intuous 3 6x8 pen tablet installed into Windows 10
Is this functional in Gimp?... like varying line width by pressure applied?
If so, how do I set it up in Gimp?

I've done illustration for books, magazines, puzzles etc. since 1970... take a look if you like =

I have seen several YouTube videos featuring GIUMP with a dark grey interface.  I am wondering how to change from white to the dark grey. 

Thanks

To put this in Other graphics software or not... The ultimate object is to use the result in Gimp..it is a tip

A sometimes asked question is: How to convert a video - something.avi / .mp4 - to individual images in order to make an animated gif.

A common reply is use the Gimp plugin GAP. The video extractor in GAP sometimes fails on modern video formats so here is an alternative using a command line application FFMPEG. 

Linux users can easily install FFMPEG, for Windows users, a convenient way is by installing Imagemagick which comes with FFMEG.

If you do not want to watch the video explanation which has a bit more detail, the basic command is; 

Hello all, new here, and fairly new to Gimp.

Without overly complicating it, here what I am trying to achieve.

The image below is something I am trying to replicate. I'm going to create a wind dial for Rainmeter. However, there are two things I'm having trouble with, and hoping maybe you all can help me out.

As you can see the image is broken down into some type of gradient. How would I go about implementing that sort of gradient in my own circle? I am not using any actual part of the original image, so I am using it's size as a guide. Is there some way to divide a circle into 24 equal parts and bucket fill each one?

And here's the second one, that I think I already know an answer to, but as you can see below, the circle also doesn't have full opacity, meaning, the color values you see aren't what they would look like against my wallpaper, which is basically a replication of the "grid" background. Thus my question is, is there some kind of "smart" way to determine the color values shown below but what they would look like either with the black background removed OR if they were 100% opaque?

The end goal is to create an asset of higher resolution and quality, but with accurate color values and opacity reproduced by hand.  

Hope I explained correctly.

Planning to install Linux on my 2003 Dell XP PC. Wondering which distro is preferred? 
l have played with Linux Redhat years ago but need to relearn. 
Thanks Carl

When I load a file and want to reduce the size, whether I scale the image or scale the layer, I still end up with reduced image and large boundary. ( I guess that's what that is)
See the attached screen shot.
When I use view: fit image in window, it still sees the transparency.
I'd like to get rid of the large transparency and just be left with the picture (reduced in scale)

I need to do the following to all open tif images in Gimp.

change mode from indexed color to grayscale
scale image to half size (from 9912x7008 to 4956x3504 and resolution from 600 pixels per inch to 300)
save to xcf format using current file name plus a -300 suffix

I have a couple hundred files in 25 folders to do. Doing one at a time is slow going. Any way to speed up the process?

Thanks Fred
