  Issue with Gradient Flare -Filter- Wrong color & missing Presets
Posted by: ldd2 - 5 hours ago - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi.

I've recently updated from GIMP v3.0.2. up to v3.0.6

In v3.0.2 I used Gradient Flare and it usually showed a default small "Sun" on hot spot which could be increased in size

Now, in most updated version I get some sort of Pinkish(?) gradient flare effect.. And there're no presets to change in "Selector" tab as I used to see in v3.0.2

Picture to prove it:
https://imgur.com/a/IDNEdOS

I'd appreciate some help in this situation and in case it happens to somebody else, please let me know.

Couldn't find much about this issue aside of: Missing options in Gradient Flare (#640) · Issue · GNOME/gimp-help

And if there's some date to get a fix for this issue. Thanks a lot.

  Beginner question on Layer. Filer sequence
Posted by: 5354photos - 6 hours ago - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I used GImp 3.0. So, there are Non Destructive Filters. I also use GMIC and layers. Somehow, I am confused the sequence of effects. My guess is
a/ The upper layer will take priority over the layer below
b/ Filters within the same layer also follow the same logic in a (Top is over bottom)

How should I use GMIC filters, eg I want to apply tone Enhance and then Freaky Details? In Input/Output, when to choose In Place/New Layer?

  Problem with Gimp 3 Python plug-in color_argument
Posted by: Volker - 11-16-2025, 05:51 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (6)

I try to migrate my Python plug-in to decorate a jpeg photo with margin, border and description from Gimp 2 to Gimp 3.

it works as intended as long as I don't add a color-argument. What is wrong with this code?

Code:
import sys
import os
from glob import glob
import gi
gi.require_version('Gimp', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gimp
gi.require_version('GimpUi', '3.0')
from gi.repository import GimpUi
from gi.repository import GObject
from gi.repository import GLib
#from gi.repository import Gtk
from gi.repository import Gio
from gi.repository import Gegl

...

class MarginBorder(Gimp.PlugIn):
 def do_query_procedures(self):
   return [plugInMBProc]
 def do_create_procedure(self, name):
   procedure = None
   if name == plugInMBProc:
     procedure = Gimp.ImageProcedure.new(self, name,
                                         Gimp.PDBProcType.PLUGIN,
                                         margin_border_run, None)
     procedure.set_sensitivity_mask(Gimp.ProcedureSensitivityMask.DRAWABLE |
                                    Gimp.ProcedureSensitivityMask.NO_DRAWABLES)
     procedure.set_menu_label("Rand und Rahmen")
     procedure.set_attribution("Volker", "Volker Lenhardt", "2025")
     procedure.add_menu_path("<Image>/Volker")
     procedure.set_documentation("Volkers Rand, Rahmen und Bildtext",
                                 "Fügt dem aktiven Bild die Dekorationsebenen "\
                                 + "Rand, Rahmen und Bildtext hinzu.",
                                 None)
     procedure.add_font_argument("font", # name
                                 "Font", # nick
                                 None, # blurb
                                 True, # none_ok
                                 Gimp.Font.get_by_name(
                                   "URW Gothic L Book"), # default_value
                                 False, # default_to_context
                                 GObject.ParamFlags.READWRITE) # flags

                                   "Bildbeschreibung", # nick
                                   None, # blurb
                                   "Irgendwo", # value
                                   GObject.ParamFlags.READWRITE) # flags
     procedure.add_double_argument("marginRelation", # name
                                   "Randbreite in Promille der größten Bildausdehnung", # nick
                                   None, # blurb
                                   0.0, # min
                                   30.0, # max
                                   9.0, # value
                                   GObject.ParamFlags.READWRITE) # flags
     procedure.add_double_argument("borderRelation", # name
                                   "Rahmenbreite in Promille der größten Bildausdehnung", # nick
                                   None, # blurb
                                   0.0, # min
                                   10.0, # max
                                   1.8, # value
                                   GObject.ParamFlags.READWRITE) # flags
     procedure.add_color_argument("borderColor", # name
                                  "Rahmenfarbe", # nick
                                  None, # blurb
                                  False, # has_alpha
                                  Gegl.Color.new("black"), # value
                                  GObject.ParamFlags.READWRITE) # flags
   return procedure

Gimp.main(MarginBorder.__gtype__, sys.argv)

If I omit the procedure.add_color_argument all is well, but with it the plug-in doesn't even show up in Gimp.

I can't find any code errors, or do you?

Thanks in advance for your help.

  New to Gimp
Posted by: Bolothephotographer - 11-15-2025, 05:30 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I'm an Affinity Photo user, or at least I have been for the past couple of years but they've recently made everything free and kinda ruined its attraction in the process.

You'd think that making the entire suite free would be an incredible gift and I suppose it is but I liked the fact that I owned it and therefore had some kind of rights and respect but their new terms and conditions show otherwise.

Anyway, all that aside. If i'm going to get something for free, I may as well go the Gimp route. It's a community thing and not a top down dictatorship like Canva is offering.

So I have a question. How easy is it to migrate from Affinity Photo to Gimp? What can I expect to discover in the process and what differences do I need to get my head around in order to understand this "alien" environment?

I was only ever really a basic user of Affinity Photo. I learnt what I needed to and would occasionally pick up new tricks and methods and was happy with my pace of learning. In fact, i'd not have bothered with looking elsewhere if it wasn't for Canva's ungainly "herding" methods. 

One of my main interests has been making large panoramas. I understand that Gimp isn't really the right vehicle for that, so i'm also wanting to learn Hugin. Between the two, it should cover pretty much anything I want to do.

I don't like being corralled in a direction I don't want to take, so it's time to switch for good.

Thoughts and replies welcome. I haven't started the tutorial phase yet, well at least not in earnest so if anyone has any particularly useful recommendations, bring it on!

  GIMP 2.10 or 3 stuck loading with wifi
Posted by: theelf - 11-15-2025, 12:10 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Hi! Sorry for my English. I have a problem: OSX Ventura x86, GIMP 2.10 or 3, same problem. When loading, the GIMP splash screen gets stuck for about 1 minute, and then it loads successfully.


However, if I disable Wi-Fi before starting GIMP, it starts almost instantly. The same happens if GIMP is stuck on the splash screen and I disable Wi-Fi — it immediately continues loading.

I tried blocking GIMP with the firewall and with LuLu, but nothing changed.

For now, I made an Automator script that disconnects the network, opens GIMP, and reconnects it afterward, but I’m looking for a proper solution. Sometimes I’m downloading a file, forget to disable Wi-Fi, open GIMP, and my download gets interrupted.



Thanks a lot for any help!

  Random Clone
Posted by: mrkid - 11-14-2025, 04:16 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi! Im looking to know if there is a way to random clone an object. I mean, that the size, rotation, or some other properties could be randomized to avoid the mechanical looking. By example, i want to add apples to a tree. I want that apples vary slighty so it looks more real.
I remember to see something like that with Gimp brushes.
Any tip?

  Simulating paint my house
Posted by: Felcas - 11-14-2025, 04:10 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hy I would like a help to simulate painting my house, using Gimp. 

I want to paint my house, but I would like to see on screen how it will be with diferent paints on walls and other details.

I would like instruction on the easiest way to make selectrions or masks I don't know exactly, so I can define areas like walls for one color and others for details like floor or roof or columns, etc..

Then, I how can I apply paint in a way I can still see the texture behind to keep it photo realistic. How do I change the colors in a easy way. And how can I get it as close as possible to the real paint?
Thanks a lot

  What exactly tutorials are there on making Surrealist Photos in Gimp?
Posted by: SleipnirTheHorse - 11-14-2025, 02:16 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I'd like tutorials and speed edits.

Basically I'd like to do Man Ray like stuff and other Surrealist Photography as well Kansuke Yamamoto,  Cahun Claude, etc.

Right now I'm using SnapSeed but the limitations are glaring?

Also, I'd like to know some artist here who do Surrealism and pop into your threads, if that's okay to ask?

  Edits Saving wrong
Posted by: PaulM - 11-14-2025, 02:20 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

Hi all, 

I'm new here. I've tried searching for this but can't find it. My edits are coming out all wrong. The colours aren't correct, if I crop the changes are in the wrong place. 2 edits in one image (with only one save) goes all wrong. I've attached 3 images to try to explain it. 

Using GIMP 3.06

Thanks,
Paul

1. an image I made (Untitled.jpg)
2. a screen shot from gimp (Chng1.jpg)
3. the output file (Chngd.jpg)
