Hello, my name's Ben, and GIMP has been essential for more than a decade... I've recently installed version 3.2.4, and it seems as though a change has been made to my favorite tool: threshold.

In the past, color could be easily added to a thresholded layer by simply selecting a color for a bucket, brush, or pencil, then using said tool on the thresholded layer. But now, a layer that has been thresholded remains permanently black & white, i.e., having first used the threshold function to make a layer black & white, the selected color of a bucket, brush, or pencil will only result in the addition of either black or white on the thresholded layer.

I've been able to work around the problem by copying a colored layer, thresholding the copy, then merging the newly thresholded layer down to the (colored) original. But the fix is clunky.

What I'd like to know is whether there's a way to set the threshold function to "one time" or "just this once" so that color can be added to a thresholded layer simply by selecting then using a new tool?

good day deaer friends


i need to give the dots some various (different) blue tones. 

well how would you start this approach!?



   




Look forward to hear from you

I followed the instructions in this link: https://salivity.github.io/gimp/article/...es-in-gimp

I copied the Dark theme folder, and pasted it in C:\Users\PC\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\themes\Custom Theme, renaming it to "Custom Theme".

However, even after reloading the program, my theme doesn't show up in Preferences -> Interface -> Theme

I'm doing a lot of old B/W photo restoring and some colouring. Using GIMP 3.2.4. To make selections in an image I use a mouse, but I'm finding I'm just not dextrous enough to draw intricate outlines/selections in photos with fine detail, like trees and leaves etc..

So I thought about a Wacom pen tablet, and they're going cheap near me. But I need to know if that tablet is good for that kind of work. Will I get good control and be able to track the pen around every nook and cranny to make a selection?

I'm not concerned about a lot of other functions, as long as it's useful for that fine detail.

Anybody have any advice or comments? Thanks.

I have installed and reinstalled GIMP 2.10.8, but the panels/toolbars are not visible. I have tried pressing Tab, but that did not show the panels/toolbars either. 

Creating a new file opens a new window for some reason, but the new window does not have panels or toolbars either.

Not often I look at reddit. I find most of the posts trivial. However occasionally something worthwhile.

A remake of Ofnuts plugin for Gimp 3.  Looks very familiar.

   

Better than struggling with Inkscape.

Some smartphone cameras allow you to capture a full panorama of a scene. However, the start and end points of the panorama rarely align seamlessly. To achieve a reasonably seamless result, you can try the following:
- split the panorama at a point where the image is not complex
- swap the positions of the two sections (2 layers)
- shift the 2 layers and use the 'Handle Transform Tool' to optimize the join
Ensure that the two ends of the panorama where it was split are not distorted.
Next, use the crop tool to cut away the unimportant part of the canvas, but be careful not to cut off any parts of the left or right side.
Use the FSPViewer to look at such a panorama.
   

Hi:

Crazy question: Does anyone still have the resynthesizer plugin, version 1.0?

Thank you very much.

I am just finding my way around v3.1.2, and ran in to an issue,
 Namely:
Now, everytime I open an image file, .JPG etc, as a layer.
Instead of seeing it shown in the right hand panel as the layer i get three layers  there named RED, GREEN, BLUE, and cannot seem to get rid of them and go back to the layers list I am used to?
I even re-installed gimp, to no avail !?
