.....or maybe not that easy - a slight change in the docs.

  shift Q cursor clarity
Posted by: JohnSellers - Yesterday, 09:32 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

In the new GIMP 3.0.6 the shift Q hard round brush cursor is almost invisible.   What can I do to make it visible enough to see well?

Any fix that works would do fine, but also there is a refinement that would help a great deal.

I found that when separating transparent background from object, my visualizing the positional edge and of the perfectly round cursor of the right diameter increased my ability to judge the w/b painting clicks with treat imp;rovment.  

The flaw in the display is that the image I am working from is anti-aliased and the stair stepped brush perimeter is badly mismatched because the perimeter of the circle should be a smooth circle rather than a stair step approximation in order to exactly judge the placing of the paint.  In my current application of the paint, I have adjusted the parameters so that the exact tangent of the paint brush circle belongs exactly at the visualized edge conceptually defined by the anti-aliased pixels. 

If I had a smooth circular tagent parameter of the brush displayed when I work, I could place the brush so well that it would give me  an absolutely perfect result.

Sincerely,

  Gimp 3.0.6 Appimage
Posted by: rich2005 - Yesterday, 07:55 AM - Forum: Alternate Gimp packagings - Replies (1)

.....for ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04 Mint 21 / 22 and users who want to keep their Gimp 2.10

On my cloud storage, about 93 MB 
https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=...dPOpd9hvz7

Comes with resynthesizer heal selection / heal transparency and gimp_gmic_qt  version 3.6.2 installed.  Remember for gmic QT5 is required.

The usual guarantee, there is none, I have tried out on the above (k)ubuntu / Mint versions and it works. Python is a bit old.  If you find it does not work, easy,  delete and use the gimp.org appimage (but no resynth / gmic for that at the moment.)

What of the future ?  I think the next release might be Gimp 3.2 and users should try a permanent installation if available from say, a PPA.  Then find a Gimp 2.10 appimage for those old but useful plugins. That is what I am planning.  Future releases of ubuntu / Mint are going to be Gimp 3 anyway.

Hello!
Is there a platform where I can get ready-made shapes for GIMP? Example: triangle, star, irregular shapes.

  After using path tool - all new layers have same name?
Posted by: Joe - 10-10-2025, 01:55 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

Question. I am using Gimp version 3.0.0-RC2. A couple of days ago I used the Path tool to curve some text. It took some work – but I finally got fairly decent results. On the other hand, now when I create a new layer, the name of the curved text appears as the ‘layer attribute’ for every image. It doesn’t really have much effect, I don’t think, it can be changed – but it’s a little odd. Hope someone has a solution to resolve this. For your consideration – I thank you.

  Character eyebrow replacement
Posted by: Dunham - 10-08-2025, 12:15 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Hello everyone!

I have a request to manipulate a frontal image of a female face. The image originated from another image taken from a very old black and white photo with many flaws. Using Gemini's artificial intelligence, I managed to restore the flaws and colorize the image. Then, I did some processing in GIMP, using Curves and Dodge & Burst. It turns out that the character's eyebrows are very different sizes, and I was asked to make them the same size. I thought of doing the following:
1. Select the left eyebrow
2. Create a layer with this eyebrow
3. Invert horizontally
4. Replace the right one with this one.
I don't know if this will work, so if anyone has experience or any suggestions on how to solve this problem, I would appreciate it.

  Is it possible to edit a gradient after applying it?
Posted by: Dunham - 10-07-2025, 07:49 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

"Hello everyone!

I have a question: if I create a transparent layer, apply a gradient to it, and then select another tool (like the Move tool), can I still edit that same gradient later? Or do I need to create a new one from scratch?

Thanks

  How to remove items from images that have complicated backgrounds
Posted by: rinaldop - 10-07-2025, 06:38 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hello again one and all,

I know the answer to this is incredibly simple and I used to know how to do it but I am embarrassed to say that I cannot remember the details. I know that there is a tool that when an area is erased the area is filled with an approximation of the area surrounding it. I want to remove the horizontal orange bullet point lines from the image below so that I can put them back in at different positions.

As  always, thanks!

  reverse engineering effects
Posted by: gimpalongcassidy - 10-07-2025, 03:35 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I recently made a design with GIMP. I added a standard bevel effect to text and then ripple effect. I am trying to recreate the same effect but the ripple effect does not seem right. Is there any way to open the file and see the exact settings used for the ripple (amplitude, period, angle, phase shift, etc.)?? I may have applied a ripple effect on top of a ripple effect but don’t know. Just trying to access the filter settings used. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
