  Patterns: figure with hatching. How can one create such a pattern
Posted by: saint_m - Today, 01:30 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

hello and good day dear friends,  Smile


i am currently workin on a step-by-step process on how to make typical changes—such as adjusting the color tone, and getting to know 
how to create certain patterns: see an example


   



Shown in the image is a circle with hatching. How can one create such a pattern—how do you achieve that? How would you go about this—using which graphic tools?


hmm - how to achive this - what are your ideas, ways and methods to create such patterns?

look forward to hear from you

greetings Smile

  ways methods and procedures to recolor a image - ideas & tipps n tricks

good day 

i am currently musing bout ways methods and procedures to recolor a image - ideas & tipps n tricks

   

btw: can you give me some more general design recommendations for an image—such as alternative color palettes, or lets say some modern layout trends, tips for better readability, or suggestions on how to enhance it (e.g., with a subtle pattern, a gradient, or an abstract illustration).

  Multiple Font Issues etc.
Posted by: Joe - Yesterday, 05:39 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

   
As much as I enjoy using the Gimp program; version 3.2.4, Windows PC – it has some very strange situations built in that I have never experienced when using other graphics editors.

The first one, I am unsure of how to describe. When creating layers containing fonts – Gimp often assigns them and creates new locked font layers that even affect surrounding (above and below) layers within the image? Gimp locks the layers and does not allow them to be edited or modified beyond font layers? This has drained substantially large amounts of my time; erasing layers and adding new layers trying to correct this issue.

One more recent discovery is when I created a layer with a font. I applied a shadow to that layer. After the shadow is applied – it extended below the desired area. I assumed that the shadow on that layer could be edited – it cannot. Using the free select or the rectangular select tool cannot affect the shadow. Funny thing – I can cut part of the font ONLY on that layer – but not the shadow. Is there a method that Gimp could be set to apply the shadow to a separate/adjacent layer and edited without being directly linked to the font layer?

Another recent more startling development and much more concerning – Gimp (how - I cannot explain) began to apply a pattern to my fonts instead of a color. No matter what I did – I could not terminate this activity. Closed and re-opened the program, created a new image, etc. After trying many unsuccessful internet suggestions - I actually had to uninstall Gimp to correct this issue.

P.S. Is there a reason that Gimp does not include a shapes menu?

For your consideration – I thank you.

  Keyboard Shortcuts in V3 not working
Posted by: TeckyWalla - 07-30-2026, 06:53 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I have another  problem with V3, I have used the Free Sellect Tool (Lasso) many times in the past, but now with V3 I am getting the message Cannot subtract from empty selection?
( I just need to remove the background) 
I have had sporadic results, if I do get it working, and pause to move view etc, it will not return or complete the definition path,, I get the above message?
 And The lasso symbol shows it is not enabled?
I am experiencing it on more than one image.

Hi,

Is there a way to view xcf files on Android so that additional layers instead of just the first one can ben seen?

Scheme Open-source GIMP 3 plugin for local AI background removal
Posted by: kocabiyik - 07-29-2026, 08:07 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

[Image: withoutbg-gimp.png]
Hi everyone,

I've been working on an open source plugin that brings ML powered background removal directly into GIMP 3.
Everything runs locally on your own machine. The plugin talks to a local withoutBG server (Docker or the macOS app), so your images never leave your computer.

Features

  • Works with GIMP 3
  • Fully open source (The model running on your computer is with open weights)
  • Runs locally
  • Creates a non destructive layer mask instead of permanently deleting the background
  • Supports macOS and Linux today (Windows should also work with a local Docker backend)

The workflow is:
  1. Open an image.
  2. Go to Tools > WithoutBG > Remove Background…
  3. The plugin generates a matte and applies it as a layer mask, so you can continue refining it using normal GIMP tools.

Documentation: Source code: I'd appreciate any feedback on:
  • Installation experience
  • UI/UX
  • Performance
  • Feature requests
  • Bugs or compatibility issues

I'm actively developing it and would be happy to improve it based on feedback from GIMP users.

If you find the plugin useful, I'd also appreciate a ⭐ on GitHub. It helps other GIMP users discover the project and motivates continued development.

  Disproportionate torso to leg length correction
Posted by: NickPearl - 07-28-2026, 07:48 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I have the picture of a man with disproportionately long legs (compared to his torso):
https://i.ibb.co/zVzt8HL6/zz-GIMP02-01.jpg

I need to use the GIMP software to lengthen his torso, and shorten his legs without changing his overall head-to-toe height and without touching his head and face.
I asked artificial intelligence (Google Gemini) about this and it suggested the use of the Cage Transform tool:
https://i.ibb.co/ynwDCLv5/zz-GIMP02-02.jpg

However, when I do this, it creates some crack lines or fault lines (or whatever you may call them):
https://i.ibb.co/pB5Zxch6/zz-GIMP02-03.jpg

How can I avoid this problem?

And first of all, is the cage Transform tool even the right tool to use for this?
How can I correct the disproportionate body image of this man?
What tool to use and how?

Please advise.
Thanks.
Nick

  image - on a website - and do add some links from certain points
Posted by: saint_m - 07-25-2026, 05:24 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

Good day dear friends Smile

 
one question - can we use such a image - on a website - and do add some links from certain points. 
is  this doable - can we do something like this?
 
  hmmm - i will try to do that by creating an imagemap.
 

https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_images_imagemap.asp

see the image: 

   

 Note: i only need links  from - let us say 10 points - that lead to other webpages. Is this possible?! 

what is aimed: i want to use the map in a wordpress page - and certain points should have a link to other pages.
can we do that!?



ps. Since i want to do such thinks in WordPress - i guess the following plugins may be of great help:

Draw Attention    Very popular and user-friendly. You can draw hotspots directly onto the image.    Focuses on ease of use; perfect for infographics and floor plans.

ImageLinks    Allows you to link areas of an image to links, videos, or other content.    Offers a drag-and-drop interface and extensive customization options.

so i hope this may be useful - also for others who are heading into the same  direction

ps. keep up this great forum -it rocks [img]data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7[/img]  [img]data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7[/img]

  some legacy gimp smc scripts ported to 3.x
Posted by: jkbzh - 07-25-2026, 01:03 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - No Replies

Hi!

I ported some scripts that I had gotten off the registry in times gone past and which are part
of my workflow. I don't know if they are still being maintained and I contacted the authors
to see if I can send them the changes or if they moved on from them.

In the meantime, if you are using them or want to try them out, you can get them from this
github repo [1].

You can check them out on github. 

  • silicosaur (Baráth Gábor) film effect filters (only works on 3.2 due to bug in 3.0 re spline-curves)
    • silicosaur-photofx-velvia (Fujifilm Velvia 50)
    • silicosaur-photofx-provia (Fujichrome Provia chrome)
    • silicosaur-photofx-portra (Kodak Portra)
    • silicosaur-photofx-crossprocess (Cross process (x-pro) effect)
  •  Ryan Burnside filters for adding different kinds of guidelines (percent, golden-rule, centered,...)
    •  divide-thirds
The first commit I had made was the 2.10 version so you could see the changes to port them to 3.x. and use that as an example in porting other legacy scripts. Alas,  as I'm writing this, I realize that is lost in all but one plug-in because I squashed the branch commits for the other ones.

This was an interesting experience, learning scheme and GIMP plug-in's API.

Enjoy!
