Hi everybody :

   I'm using GIMP 2.10.38.   Is it possible to a GRADIENT using more that one color ?

Hi everyone !

It seems to be the most stupid question in the world but I can't find the answer and begin to lose my hair ... 

I just want to get a layer ID by its POSITION ... (its relative position to be exact, but it doesn't matter)

In practice : I want to write a script which use the active layer (ok, so easy --> gimp-image-get-active-layer) AND the layer below ... then ... for it ... what can I do ?
Of course I know the position of my active layer in the tree (gimp-image-get-item-position) .... but I can't find the procedure to get the ID of a layer below (or above, or anything else) ...

((I could use gimp-image-get-layers to obtain the entire list, then write a loop to check each layer, one by one, until matching my active layer, then get the next ...... but ... that is a so heavy and  absurd and annoying solution ... (EDIT : Ok I can also use the position of my active layer to a bit more directly find the layer below in the list ... but I understood that I can't directly get an item in a list, so it would be more or less the same : write a loop which will review one by one each layer until reaching the position "+1"....) ))


There must be a simple and obvious way to do it... but I can't find it...


Thanks in advance to anyone who'll give me the answer !

For individual files, processing by the G'MIC-Qt plugin for GIMP 2.10 with the Smooth [Antialias] filter works fine. When I try to do the same for a group of files using BIMP, I cannot find the corresponding GIMP procedure in the list of transformations. How to batch process the G'MIC-Qt plugin for GIMP 2.10 using BIMP? Or maybe there is another way to perform the desired conversion?

here is a simple photo, post-processed with Gimp to give a pleating effect : it is titles "Curtain Villeggiatura" like a holiday scent

News today here in AU, airlines have stopped flying and media companies are off air due to a Windows workstation issue.

Hello All!

Could someone explain to me if what I'm getting is the way the Wavelet-decompose filter should behave?

01- I downloaded an image - https://wallpapercave.com/wp/wp12859845.jpg ;
02- I added an alpha channel to the image layer;
03- I duplicated the layer;
04- Using the Paths tool I traced an outline on part of the image of this new layer;
05- I did Path to selection, inverted the selection and deleted it;

So far, no news, a common sequence.

Then on the layer with the cutout and transparent background I applied the Wavelet-decompose filter ( Filters-Enhance-Wavelet-decompose), default settings.

The issue is that the filter, instead of applying the effect only to the visible and cropped part of the layer (the rhino head), applied the effect as if the crop had not been made and the background had been extracted. 

I don't know if I managed to explain the situation well, so I recorded a short 48-second video trying to show what is happening.

Next, I created a new image using just the rhino head layer, without the original image layer at the bottom of the layer stack.
I applied the Wavelet-decompose filter and again it resurfaced the original background that I had removed.

Am I just confused or is there something strange about this?

Thx!

Good day all.
 
In my spare time I convert photos or scans of rare technical documents to readable PDF files.  Many of the photographs originate with unknown persons and I receive them third or later hand and the quality is what is politely called poor - see a typical example below where I have roughly edited out fingers at the top.

For some time I have been addressing warped pages photographed by persons unknown by using PerspectiveCropper to basically get all the corners about where they belong and then using ScanTailor to convert the images into clean PDF documents.
 
Because my eyesight is failing I can no longer do this as the handles for both programs are too small for me to see.
 
Today I tried GIMP to do my editing for the first time and the basic GIMP workflow I found to manipulate the images is fantastic. ➤ Filters, Distort, Curve bend.
 
That said I immediately ran into two major problems in that:

1.  I am having to work with what I would call a thumbnail of the image I need to manipulate and with my eyesight that is just not practical - especially as the images tend to be dark with little contrast so I cannot see what is happening.   I could not find a way to make the Curve bend control panel/palette full screen.
 
2.  I did not manage to make the distorted "diamond" shaped page square
 
Obviously my most important question is - How to make the Curve bend control panel/palette full screen?
 
That may well solve problem two but if it does not then how do I drag the outside corners to square up the page?
 
I am using GIMP 2.10.38 on Win7 Enterprise
 
Thank you

Hey all,

I'm trying to create a material and one of the textures I need to make is far outside my skill in using gimp. The texture is for a D6 die, I'm trying to switch out the dots with numbers.

This is what I'm starting out with. What steps do I need to take to make the effect? I've already isolated the number. I just put this here for you all's benefit..

This is the overall effect I'm trying to apply to each number, those edges with changing color gradient.

Also want to paint this texture inside each number.


Thanks in advance for the help!

Dear Fellow GIMP User,

I am using GIMP 2.10

I have been using GIMP to add watermarks (via layers) to the photographs in our Local History Collection before I upload them to our Library Catalogue and other online sites. I have had no problems before now. But today a ghost has gotten in my computer.

I open my photo, add my watermark and unbidden a menu window called "Brightness-Contrast" pops-up and I don't want to adjust brightness, I didn't press it it. I press 'Cancel' and the menu window comes back. I press "OK" and the menu window comes back. I hit the "X" in the top right hand of the menu window and the menu window keeps coming back. 

I have troubleshooted by closing the program and re-opening, but the same occurs. I have also shut down the whole computer and restarted. Yet the problem still keeps happening.

I have attached a screenshot. 

Can anyone help please?

Thank you in advance,

Rosemary Ritorto

I'm trying to remove the checkered background and replace it with a white background.  I looked at several vids on youtube but none really explained it.  It's probably easy but I'm opening this up for the first time.  Thanks
