Hey,

New to Gimp. Used photoshop back in the days, but not recently.

I'm currently trying to create a layer from a selection within an image. I'm fairly certain that used to be part of my workflow on photoshop. The way I came up with in Gimp (2.10) is this:

1 - Create the selection, using say the Fuzzy selection wand.
2 - Create a floating layer (?) from the Select... menu on my selection. Now I have  floating layer on the right.

3 - Then make that floating layer a real layer, using right-click on the floating layer and "to new layer".



Now, it appears that the step creating the floating layer actually impacts the initial layer from which I made a selection. It removed the selected area from the initial layer.

That's not what I expect - I'm creating new layers in order to work on those layers, without impacting whatever I have underneath.  Is there a way to achieve this? I see a workaround - Duplicate the base layer from which I made a selection first. Then select & float from the copy. But then that's an extra step that feels unecessary....

Better ideas?

Hey,

there's a nice website: https://www.wide-gamut.com/test that helps you check whether display supports wider gamut by showing you a simple image saved with P3 .icc color profile. You should see a "W" on the lighter red background if you have HDR turned on and uniform red on SDR displays.

I saved the image on my PC (also attached in post) and opened it with GIMP. When GIMP asks to convert the image to GIMP built-in SRGB I refuse and just keep the P3 .icc profile. Then what's weird for me is that it seems the image is composed of 2 colors outside of 0-255 range. Another weird thing is that at the top of the GIMP's window it's said that the image is 8-bit. These 2 things already seem self-exclusive... Screenshot attached.

Does anybody know what's going on with those values? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think assigning an .icc profile to the image does not change its values at all and the actual color values are still internally saved in 0-1 range. Icc profile is just a metdata that display can interpret to know that color values in this image should be mixed corresponding to color primaries from P3 color gamut and not SDR, right? So these weird values... - could it be GIMP's way of showing colors in wider P3 gamut but still as if corresponding to the color primaries from SDR gamut?

Will be grateful for any hints ; )

I am new to gimp and having some troubles viewing/editing the images in the same way as the tutorial I am following. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0T_Jj_6n2E

As seen in the first couple seconds of the video, I should be able to drag and drop an image on top of a new layer, once I have created a blank 1920x1080 layer. This was working but I think I changed one of my settings so this is no longer happening! I tried to reset all settings to default but have not had any luck. Could someone please provide some insight.

Steps:
Open Gimp -> File -> New -> Ok -> drag and drop image from finder

Feel free to judge. I could be stupid!

On this page from the Gimp dev site  I found a group of Gimp plug-ins made for python3. I thought I would try them in my Gimp snap pack which in theory can use both python 2 and 3.

They don't give any error messages yet the same set of old python2 versions don't work with errors. I can't tell if these python3 plug-ins are working or not. Any ideas?

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, I would like to ask some information about Gimp, Gimp is free and open source right?
Can it also be used to create covers for ebooks or other digital products and then put them on sale? Or is there a limitation?
Thank you.

Can someone tell me how to create solid noise between 2 colours preferably between 2 greys (for creating heightmaps such as hills) 
having too much bright white makes very steep hills
I am using using filters - render- noise - solid noise 
Thanks  

My wife has been using Gimp for printing sublimations and she ran into a problem a few days ago with the print menu. 

The print menu had a Print Quality tab where the print quality could be adjusted. We had it set through this menu to print in the highest quality possible at 600 DPI, however the tab is all of a sudden missing and it only prints at the default 300 DPI setting, which is a considerable drop in quality from what she's normally been able to print at.

Can anyone give any insight into why this option has disappeared and how it can be restored? Google so far hasn't yielded any results relating directly to this problem and I haven't been able to figure out anything on my own through the program menu options. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
