After reviewing one of my indi books, I want to increase the spine width from .835"/21.21mm to 0.880"/22.35mm in my Gimp 2.10.36/Windows11. I am reusing my original book template so the only change required is the spine size (more pages in the new edition). How can I best do this in Gimp? Step by step would be good. 
Secondly when I open a template image as a PNG in Gimp, how can I view its actual size?  Thanx, Stusamuso.

I am a small church secretary who is relatively new to GIMP. I need to create an overlay of text on a transparent background to place over a photo. In short, I use a photo of a baptism to  create the certificate of baptism for the individual, so I need to create this transparent layer with the basic text that can be altered with each individual. Not sure if I'm making sense. Can anyone help?

I have updated GIMP (Panda Jim) to 2.10.38.
Is it possible to update the Appimage loader to correspond? (gimp2-10-36-python2-mm-Ubuntu.Appimage)

I have tried extracting the Appimage, but could not see where to make the necessary changes.

I am running Ubuntu 20.04, but with the Unity desktop. Is it possible to upgrade this to 22.04 (or 24.04) whilst retaining Python 2.7?

Any help and advice greatly appreciated.

Good Evening,

So this is an odd thing, i'm looking at assisting my wife with her crafts, she is huge into paper crafts at the moment and we finally got her a Cricut and we have been fiddling with using the machine to do her cuts and scoring happy days. Problem is that we use Inkscape to break down the PDF's to do what we need and sometimes the PDF's come over as a single image instead of a properly grouped image that we can manipulate. Is there anyway to use gimp to split out the PDF's. I found a way in Inkscape but it involves breaking the entire image down into a bit map and mapping/ grouping the entire file node by node... any hep would be amazing.

Hi, I've just started to use GIMP. I scanned in an image at 1200 DPI. The document is 6 x 8.5 inches but when I open the document in GIMP the "set to canvas size" shows the size to be double but 300 ppi so I'm confused about the sizing. Another image/document I scanned in at 600 dpi is the correct size on GIMP (6 x 8.5 inc) but the dpi is 300 - surely it should be 600 dpi or double the size? Can someone please explain this to me? Am I looking at the wrong place to find the size of my document? I need to generate digital prints at the largest size possible at 300 dpi. I'm on a MAC. Thank you

I found the dashcam video while going thru a memory card looking for video of the idiot who almost took us out on a highway.

I've given the Gimp 2.10.38 appimage a good workout and it's very stable. The difference between fuse-overlay-fs and kernel overlay has been reduced to one line of code.

I improved Mathmap on Ubuntu so if people are interested the newest files are here:

The French must be getting excited about the Olympics. I remember the Sydney Olympics in 2000. I was driving taxis (pre-uber) and thought I would make a lot of money. I made the same because they designed the events around public transport. I did meet people from all around the globe and that was good.

I have been using gimp to manipulate images of my paintings.  I take a picture of the painting with my iPhone, convert it to JPEG, and then upload it to gimp to straighten, crop, etc.  It always asks me if I want to convert to to sRGB or something like that.  The default is to convert, so I do.  However I was wondering what the difference was and/or if there is a tutorial that teaches what these conversions mean and how to choose the best options for your project. 

Thank you in advance. 

Hi,

Inkscape V 1.3.2
Scribus V 1.6.1

Having an .svg file open in Inkscape (it can be just an object, in the form of Path), using a color profile (the same in both inkscape and scribus); when I choose:
File - Save as - type (Scribus CMYK PDF (*.PDF) and click OK in the window that appears, I get the following error:
