Hi,

I have a question about editing pdfs in GIMP (GIMP 2.8.18-Windows). Can I open up a multi-page pdf as a single document; edit some of the pages (I am whiting out text with Ink Tool), then re-save it as a single pdf again?

I have been opening a 36 page pdf by selecting: open-select all-open pages as images. This opens up each page separately. Then I have been saving each page as a separate file by choosing: file-export. Takes a long time.

Is there an easier way to do this, by opening the pdf as one doc maybe? Apologies in advance, I'm new to GIMP, and I'm not a computer guy.

Thanks!

Mike

I am extending a board game by making a map of the real world, and I want to put dots at each corner of a grid layout as show. I only need the dots rendered, not the grid shown.

How i am doing it is i show the grid and put a dot on the water anywhere they intersect on a new layer. However 1) they are manually set so some look mis-aligned, and 2) its taking forever to manually put the dots and try to align them exact. 

Is there a way to automate this so all corners of the grid to insert a dot, and then just remove the ones manually that are over land? 




My other question is how can i render a grid to the image? I need to add a grid to the picture, just not the one show for dots. It needs to be spaced larger for sectors whether the one shown is just to put the dots somewhat aligned.

Under Preferences>Environment in Gimp 2.8.10 there is a check box 'Confirm closing of unsaved images'. In Gimp 2.8.18 this feature is missing in Environment. Has this been moved to another area or just deleted? Is there a way to issue a text command that would be equivalent to unchecking this box? Thanks Fred

I uploaded an avatar from my pc. It is listed, but does not appear. It is a png file and not too large.

Can anyone advise

I am having difficulty with gimp (version 2.8.10).

To what does the layers dialogue refer?

Regarding Channels dialogue, how do I use the Red, Green, and Blue channels?

What is the function of the eye?

I am having difficulty with transparency. After adding alpha, how do I select the colour in the image to achieve transparency?

Why is it called alpha?

Thank you

Hi All,


I have been watching the you tube on how to do cutout. I followed all the steps, however when I Invert the picture and hit the delete either the car I traced disappears, or the background goes all white?  I cannot get the checkered background?  I am enclosing the original picture and the one I cutout but cannot get checkered backgound.  If anyone could look at this and let me know what it is I am not getting?  I really am trying to learn so I would appreciate if you coulf tell what steps I must take to fix this.

Again, Thank all of you for your support and guidance.

I would like to make a gimp project collaboratively with a friend, but I haven't found any methods that are possible.

By collaborate I mean if there were two computers connected via ethernet cable and they both had gimp. Would it then be possible to have them work on the same image so that one could see what the other had just done and vise versa.

My first idea was to make both computers use the same image simultaneously, but that didn't work because gimp seems to load the image in memory. So the next thought was to share the swap/memory/temp between the two computers, but i'm not sure how to even do that. (by swap I mean the gimpswap file or any other tile caching.) I tested one idea by opening the same image in two gimp windows but they just edited them separably.

I seem to remember a version of gimp would always use another file with the same name but with a ~ at the end in the same folder as the one being edited to save temp data of some sort. I am now wondering if you could use that simultaneously?

I have looked at compiling my own version of gimp, but probably wouldn't know where to start. Possibly making a plugin might help, but again don't know what to look for as a reference.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.
