  Adding to a section, Shift doesn't work on macbook
Posted by: blogsofwardotme - 08-04-2025, 04:31 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi, when selecting with the free selection too (lasso) I can't never get to the end because it closes before I am finished. I tried pressing shift to ad but absolutely nothing happens on mac sonoma. I found there is "add" but I don't see it under the selection menu, neither in help. 
Thank you.

  Looking for a tool for editorial design
Posted by: Mel987 - 08-02-2025, 01:58 AM - Forum: Other graphics software - Replies (2)

Hi! Does anybody know about an open software specialized for editorial design? I know about Inkscape but I think that it's more equivalent to sofwares like CorelDraw or Illustrator, I would like to know if there's an equivanet for something more like InDesign.

Thanks for reading my question!

  I can't reveal more of the layer panel
Posted by: blogsofwardotme - 08-01-2025, 12:19 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi, I have been using GIMP with the layer panel showing properly for a bit, so I must have touched something.
I need to bring up the layer panel to reveal more of it, and hide the panel above. I found that I need to "identify the thin line between 
the 2 panel, grab and drag up, which is pretty intuitive. I only have the 3 dots to grab, and I can't bring the panel any further up. Thank you.

  Transparent bucket fill won't work
Posted by: Holographic Breathing - 08-01-2025, 09:25 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

For some reason,  when I tried to make the background transparent, it doesn't work.
Here is a video of me trying and not succeeding.
It would be great if someone can tell me how to make this work.
Thank you for any advice in advance.

  "Select all" selects all of the image, not all of the active layer
Posted by: gyepi - 07-31-2025, 08:51 AM - Forum: OSX - Replies (4)

"Select all" used to select all of the active layer, and not all of the image. Now when I use "select all", GIMP 3.04 (on MacOS 15.5) selects all of the image, instead of all of the content of the layer. If I then press "shrink selection", the selection is getting shrinked from the entire image, and not only from the entire layer.

Is this the new normal behavior? How could I revert back to the old behavior (of "select all" selecting all of the active layer)?

Thanks!

  options: can i convert an image form pixels to vector (SVG) - is this possible?
Posted by: saint_m - 07-30-2025, 06:24 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

good day dear experts, hello  dear gimp-cracks!! Smile


well i am currently divin into GIMP - and sometimes i am not sure if the one or other task could be done with the help of Inkscape-tool (too).  I dunno.


that said i have a question - can i work with an image that has (raster=pixels=image) in Inkscape!?


in other words: lets say i have a image that comes from GIMP.  

so i am asking myself at the moment:  can i transform the image form a pixel-based one to a scalable vectors image (inkscape's bread and butter)?

Do you really think that this is possible!?

Well i think that Inkscape is EXCELLENT at working with scalable vectors and mediocre with images. So my question is.

am i able to import into inkscape any pixelbased image!?

a can i turn it into a scalable vector image!?

look forward to any and all idea!?

Smile

  GIMP crashes when opening png on mac
Posted by: blogsofwardotme - 07-30-2025, 02:57 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi, I know opening png is an issue, but all the help is for windows. Anybody can open png on mac sonoma 14.7.6?
Here is all I have: my png is almost open, see the blue bar, and, as soon as I press Convert, it crashes. I also tried Keep, same thing.
Tried a million times so it was not an accident.
While I am here, what is the best size in pix to uplload a screenshot, I am down at 800 X 800 jpg and it's still telling me it's too large.
Thank you.

  GMIC zoom, less than 100%
Posted by: mrkid - 07-29-2025, 04:13 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

Hi! I have been using GMIC to enhance some old scannings... Great!
But i noted that when working with big images, or not sooo big, the preview of most GMIC filters is fixed in 100%. You can use more zoom BUT NOT LESS. That is annoying since you cant see what will result unless you apply it and shut the GMIC window.
Is there something im missing about this? Thanks.
