The site for my plugins is again working. I might as well mention that there is also a master page where the links to all my plugins can be found:

http://kmarkku.arkku.net/

I don't remember having mentioned it before.

And the big problem is of course that the plugins are not maintained any more, and with Gimp3 they will be obsolete. This is a pity since there is, I think, material that would deserve preserving and porting to Gimp3. But that will not be done by me. Well, that´s life.

I am trying to make a label for a beer can. The warning text is required to be 2mm in height. I have tried to use the text tool and set the size by mm but if I set it to 2mm it only make the text height 1.27mm when I am checking with the measure tool. I am using Calibri light font. Which direction is the text tool using to make the size?

Hello, I am using Sonoma 14.5 and in Finder all XCF files are just "Gimp-doggie" pics - no thumbnails of real content, no preview when spacebar pressed.
How to tune that to work?
Thx a lot

I used 2.6 before and after switched to 2.10 I noticed that all floating panels are hidden when I edit something or just wait few seconds. Is there a hotkey to show them or is there an option to make them stay on top like in 2.6?

Did you know that the blood types were A/B/C before 1901 then type C become 0 (zero) or type NULL in later publication (after 1901), because it does not have antigen in red blood cell (but have both Anti bodies A - B, thus universal donors),
So did type 0 (zero), became type O (as Oh) because of a typo? thus am I a typo?  

Fun fact, the Rhesus name (Rh negative or positive) was given from a species of monkey, the Rhesus monkey (it's a macaque), because they discovered it in that species.

In all case https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_type was quite interesting

Using 2.10.38 on w11

Hello, I usually open a number of files by drag and drop from a folder. 
When I do all the images open slightly zoomed in. So for every image I have to "ctrl+shift+J" to see the entire image. Very annoying. 
Can anyone help.

Hello,

I hope I'm going to explain this well enough. This is my first attempt at using GIMP so, I'm hoping the solution is not too complicated. 

I have a jpeg image which, as far as I know is all 1 layer. That's what it shows as in GIMP. It was made by an AI (which couldn't spell, which is why I am trying to fix it)! The whole image is square, with an outer circle with text and small graphics. Then an inner circle with a image graphic. The text in the oputer circle is part of the image/layer and, I have managed to remove the mis-spelt letters. Now I need to move some letters to match the remaining correct text in the outer circle. 

I have managed to get the letters in roughly the correct position but, still need to align them to flow round the outer circle to match the rest of the text. I think I need an circular line to let me place the letters properly. This is what I'm having trouble with. I have got a circular selection marker created, in a separate layer, in the place I need but, I think I need e.g. a white circular line where the selection marker is to let me pull the text to the right place. Obviously, if I select anything else e.g. any text, the circular selection marker disappears.

I would need to have the line there while I align the text correctly and, then delete the line once I am finished with the text.

If further information is needed, please let me know.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am using GIMP 2.10.38 on Windows 10.

I'm having difficulty understanding GIMP's group layer mode, “Pass through”. I assume that its influence is limited to the group layer's 'Opacity' and 'Mode' settings. However, my assumption is incorrect because I am getting two different outcomes as shown with this comparison image. So, my question is: why are there two different outcomes, or I could ask, what is happening here?
 
In this comparison image, there are two rows depicting the two outcomes. In the first row, the “Burn” layer is inside the “Pass through” layer group. In the second row, I have dragged the “Burn” layer out of the “Pass through” layer group.
