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:

However, when I do this, it creates some crack lines or fault lines (or whatever you may call them):

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

Good day dear friends

 
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]

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.

Hi, greetings to everyone. I'm trying to break free from Adobe's grip, so I've taken the plunge and tried GIMP, and I love it. I've been exploring the plugins—to cut a long story short—I've forked an outdated plugin and added new features. In Photoshop, I used TyperTools a lot, so this works in a similar way. I hope you like it and please leave your feedback.

Relatively new to Gimp,
I have a picture I have got as far as selected a portion and prodused an Alpha channel. 
Part of the picture has fractured  item I need to make whole using the remaining existing part half  that is left.
What is the best tool to use to enable this? Clone or Healing tool maybe?
Any and all help gladly welcome.

   

want to combine some of the dots with others erase the rest

If you just skimmed over this story I think it's worth reading and considering the implications.

   

Here's what happened:
'While being tested internally in an enclosed sandbox, the model gained internet access – effectively an escape route – by locating a vulnerability that had not been discovered before.
The agent then hacked Hugging Face, which is a database of AI models, to locate technology that would help it pass the hacking evaluation'.

When I read this I asked myself 'how predictable was this escape and why were they testing it's hacking abilities at all'? Is this just the beginning of 'rogue AI' because it could get very expensive to repair the damage it can potentially do.

I read the story here.

Hi!

Question about Python-Fu Gimp 3.2.4

How do I get the active image (the one with focus) from all open images?

Hi!

Hello,
I am trying to get arrows on GIMP 3.2.4 running under Ubuntu 22.04.

I have tried two modules:
* The script arrow_v3.scm (https://blog.weetech.ch/2025/10/how-to-d...lugin.html). I put it in "$/snap/gimp/560/.config/GIMP/3.0/scripts", made sure it is executable and restarted GIMP. It is supposed to show in the Tools menu, but nothing is there.
* The plug-in pl_stroke_arrows (https://github.com/Scallact/gimp-stroke-...me-ov-file). I put the folder in "$/snap/gimp/560/.config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins", made sure that pl_stroke_arrows.py is executable and restarted GIMP. It is supposed to show in the Edit menu, but nothing is there.

Any idea about what the problem is? My GIMP is the French version, could that be it?

Thanks for your advice, John
