Assume I select a rectangle and moved it inside the image.

How can I unselect the current selection?

How can I merge all current layers into one layer (=the base image)?

I found no toolbox symbol or menu

I clicked on menu

File--->New

and try to create one with 3000x15000 pixels (see attached snapshot).
Much to my surprise I got a warning popup that gimp will create an image with size of 475 MB.
A simple image with pure white background?
I guess its the uncompressed size (not .png or *.jpg format)

And yes the maximum image size in Preferences is about 128MB

What would be the recommended maximum image size for a computer with 16GB RAM?

Whats would happened if I create an image beyond my maximum?
Will the new image be saved (completely) into (and handled from) swapfile on SSD/hard disk?
Or will it be rejected?

   

Hello, i am trying to add an .svg label to images using Python-fu, but getting an unhelpful error code when trying to load the .svg

My console text:

➤> pdb.gimp_path_import(image, "label.svg", TRUE, FALSE)

the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
RuntimeError: execution error

I am guessing this is a path problem.  New to this stuff, any tips would be appreciated, thanks!

This plugin is an equivalent of bucket-fill with patterns, except that it uses several patterns at random. In other words, provided with an image like this:

   

   

I don't get the option to create a thread in the other area's, must be a new member limitation, so here goes and I hope this is the right place.

In photoshop there is a filter called "Other" that contains the following filters:

Custom, High pass, Maximum and Minimum and Offset.

I have not been using Gimp for long so don't know if there an equivalent for these filters already  in the software, but with different names, or do I have to add a plug in or script to add them?


If the latter can someone tell me which ones I need please?

THanks in advance.

To test a script I'm working on, I was searching for a GIH that creates Xmas balls. So I searched for:
 

gimp gih xmas balls


Some of the image results are quite disturbing 

I have no idea why every youtube video shows gradient option, I have none of those options I use GIMP  2.10.36 and I have given up so I am just gonna ask for help here.

I want this image  all the end parts to fade in the pink background, gimp is beyond complicated
also the guitar edges should fade into pink if thats possible

I did some changes due to a suggestion made by Michael Schumacher from the GIMP team on reddit over there > https://www.reddit.com/r/GIMP/comments/1...?context=3

There was a potential inconvenience when exporting all images THEN when closing GIMP or closing an exported image, GIMP would not ask if you want to save the XCF, which can be inconvenient  

I added this option, it is set by default after exporting an image then closing it, or closing GIMP, that GIMP will ask you if you want to save the XCF,
Untick this option and GIMP will not ask you this thus not saving the GIMP's XCF

here is the latest script, with the manual > I did updated the manual as well, it's a good read

Howdy everyone,

(and plz sorry for bad English)

Years ago I bought a Cd-rom magazine with, among other software, The Gimp v 1.2 included in its Cd-rom. This was my first contact with The Gimp and I really liked it, and I use it until today in my Win98 PC. But recently I realized that the distribution of The Gimp in the version 1.2 was done with the use of the Developer Shareware version of InstallerVise, which forbids distribution of commercial software as it shows right when we start the setup of The Gimp v. 1.2, the pics below show it clearly:

   

   

And now I'm afraid I can be using The Gimp illegally.

Being an Open Source software, is The Gimp included in the definition of 'Commercial Software' which shouldn't be distributed with such version of InstallerVise? Or I'm free to use this version of The Gimp anyway? I guess the developer knew that and, if he insisted on using that InstallerVise, so it very probably is okay, but... I can't be sure, so I googled a lot, trying to find discussions about it or infos about it but no success. I even tried to look for other packagings of The Gimp online, but all the packagings of The Gimp in its 1.2 version were always done with the use of InstallerVise.

Also, the fact that The Gimp, packaged with such version of InstallerVise, was distributed in a magazine Cd-Rom makes it illegal somehow, making me unable to use it legally?

EDIT: I found a Wikipedia article about what is a Commercial Software, it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial...20software.

According to this definition, The Gimp can very probably be considered non-commercial software, as it's packaged with no commercial/business intentions. So, having this definition in mind, can I be in peace with the use of The Gimp distributed with that version of InstallerVise? What are your thoughts about it?

Hello, I wonder if there is a way in script-fu that can do the same job of the filters -> disorts ->  curve bend.
