Hello,

what are the best ways to remove the flames from the cake candles and still keep the background?

Thank you.

UPDATE: So I have GIMP 3.0.0 and 2.10.38 installed on my system. After having the below issue with 3.0 I tried 2.1 and it worked fine. So this seems to be a 3.0 issue.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I installed gimp3_upscale but when I restarted Gimp the plug-in did not show where the Git instructions said it should. My preferences show C:\Users\jack6\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\plug-ins AND C:\Users\jack6\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\plug-ins as plug-in directories. (Why 2 locations I am not sure, so I put the script directory in both.)  See screenshot.
 
It is supposed to show up under Filters>Enhance but it does not. This is the first plug-in I have loaded manually, so am I missing something ? 

GIT instructions simply say:
[*]1 Download the latest release:gimp3_upscale.zip

[*]for GIMP 3.0
2 Extract the plug-in folder into your GIMP plug-ins directory.
[*]3 Restart GIMP.

To use it 
[*]1 Open an image in GIMP.
[*]2 Go to Filters > Enhance > AI Upscale..

but that entry is not there.
Suggestions ?

NOTE: I just tried to use the Help > Plugin Browser and it does not find anything. Not sure if that helps. 
Thanks

First off, I am not a coder, but I have been trying for the last year to convert a GIMP 2 plugin to GIMP 3, even trying AI and it simply just won't work for me. At my age (70+) I am really struggling to succeed with this task of understanding how to write a GIMP 3 plugin.  Years ago I somehow managed over several months to write a plugin in GIMP 2.10 to do some basic repetitive tasks, like adding solid color layers with masks, in groups and set other various parameters.  The first thing that happens in the plugin is the original image layer is copied and desaturated.

I posted here a year ago and Ofnuts kindly wrote an example showing how to desaturate the original layer.  That code worked perfectly.  I have tried for the last year to add to that plugin like trying to add solid color layers with masks, into groups and set other various parameters and have completely failed because of my lack of understanding and ineptness.  Even AI has not been able to come up with something that will show up in GIMP3.  I'm at the breaking point where I'm about to give up on using GIMP 3 and just go back to GIMP 2 so my basic plugin will work.  I am back here now asking if someone could point me to someone or a website or a forum, anything!, where they take requests or would rewrite a gimp2 plugin into gimp 3 format.  Any help would be appreciated.

I am really struggling with rewriting this simple task plug-in in GIMP 3 format...I can't even get anything to work or show up in the GIMP menus (nor can AI even write working code for GIMP3) even after copying the basic code from another GIMP 3 plugin example.  I'll upload my GIMP2 plugin so you can see what I'm trying to do, but I am really hoping there is a GIMP forum group somewhere that would specifically rewrite code for us non-coding users.  I just cannot simply understand how to write GIMP3 python code structure when I cannot understand the examples to do basic tasks like adding a new layer.  Thanks for any feedback you can provide or direction you can point me in.

I've used Adobe CS6 full suite since it came out. Now I'm old and do very little. For what little I do now, I think GIMP will work for me. 

However, there are two PS processes I still need. Hopefully, one of you can tell me how GIMP can do them.
1.  I take hundreds of photos when I travel. I use PS Photomerge to combine multiple close overlapping shots to create a single large image.
2. I have a script that takes the file name and overlays it on the lower portion of the image so it's a visible title as it's run through slideshows.

I'd love to transition to GIMP if it can do these two things.

Hey all! 

So... I did something kind of crazy and made a real trailer for a fake movie about GIMP in the style of The Social Network. A few filmmaking friends and I put WAY too much time in this, but we did it for the love of the game! 

I hope you guys enjoy this trailer for GIMP: The Movie!

Hello,
new to this forum I hope someone here could help me a little bit.

As I upgraded from debian 12 to debian 13, gimp was upgraded to version 3.
I have a set of short scripts that allowed me to invoke gimp (at least until version 2.8) from a linux bash console. Now they fail, so I have to adapt them to recent changes.

The one question I still stumble on is the ability to set a drawable in my image. The former syntax does not work anymore :

Hi, I have a script-fu script I wrote back in 2003, which I use to save the current image in the ../edited folder, and mark the image as "saved". I have been using this script in every version of Gimp since 2003 without changes, but when I tried to use it in Gimp 3.0 I got the error:

Execution error for 'DoIt':
Error: eval: unbound variable: gimp-image-get-filename

Does anybody know if the function gimp-image-get-filename has changed in Gimp 3.0, or if I'm missing something in my Gimp installation?

Thanks,
Eric

Hi. I have a problem with my texture when converting it to .dds. The texture has different tarmac and white lines textures, but I am sending a texture with the same repeated layers (I will not send the full texture here).

The problem is when I convert texture to DDS, it has blurry pixels every time on the same rows—always on the 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 7th rows. The blurry pixels are from the right side of the white lines.
The white lines must be "Vivid Light" opacity 60%. The file must be any DDS.

When I export, I go to "Merge visible layers" then convert to .DDS. I tried to convert from Gimp to .dds like:
- DXT1
- DXT1
- DXT3
- DXT5
- RXGB
- DXT5
- Alpha Exponent DXT5.
- DXT1 with generate Mipmaps

I tried everything, connecting layers before, etc... 
Is it a mistake in connecting layers, or effect Vivid Light or Gimp can't do that?
Can I send someone a file via PVT to check?

In Gimp 3.2.0 RC3:

The tip for the cross icon at the bottom right of the layers dialog when a layer mask is selected is plural, it says: "Remove layer masks and their effect" This seems to imply that more than one layer mask can be selected but I can't see a way to do it.  When using shift or ctrl to select more than one item in the layers dialog, it activates the layer and not the layer mask even when clicking on layer masks.  What does the tip refer to?

Yesterday I downloaded the newest version of Darktable (5.4.1) which is now causing error messages when exiting Darktable back to GIMP. I tried a number of things such as uninstalling both programs and re-installing them (Darktable first as recommended) but I still get the same error messages (image of messages attached). I have had connection issues in the past with other updated versions of both programs, but I cannot resolve this one. Any help would be appreciated.
