When I use export, I often have to export within certain file size limitations.
Sometimes to achieve this, I need to resize the image.

At this moment, when I see on exporting the file size is too large, I need to cancel the export, resize and then export again.
This also has the disadvantage that I have to Undo the resize after export, when I don't want the original to be smaller.

I think resizing should be considered an option that is available on export.
After all, if you export/render video, or audio, it is standard procedure to define the screen size (video) or samplerate/bitrate (audio) in any program around.
Why shouldn't this be the case for images?

        Hi , everyone
I've got some small issues with the latest version of Gimp 2.99.18
It looks minor issues but i swear we loose a considerable amount of time because of this

1
I can't see what was the last thing i did. The cancel option doesn't show me what it's about to be canceled , it used to work properly and it was very useful 


2
When i save , the preview option doesn't recognize transparency and instead shows a black rectangle. When we are working with and saving many transparent layers , it is very useful to see what we are about to open

3
"export as" doesn't show the last file i saved which is a problem , it is mistake inducing (saving the wrong file)

Is there a way to fix this , can you (the Team) try to fix it ?

Thanks for reading and sorry for my english

I am using Gimp to design a virtual remote for a Home Assistant process.

This involves a layer that represents the full remote body and separate layers for individual buttons. As I will need the pixel co-ordinates of the image in each layer for overlaying the resulting remote image, I have ensured the button layers are all simply populated with just the button image with the rest of the layer transparent and then have set the layer to image size.

I have done layers in the past and have had the layer attributes show the x/y offset in relation to pixel position on the screen. However, this time, I must have done something different as every layer has the offset of 0,0.

Images of the base remote layer and a layer for the mute button are shown below. I was hoping the attributes offset for the mute button layer would have been something like 29,23 based on the image position in the main view but it is 0,0.
 
What am I likely to have done wrong and can I amend the layers to position at the top left position of the layer image, reflecting this in the attributes?

   
   

Hello, im trying to get image 1 to look like image 2. i need the inside of the design to be transparent. been trying to figure it out myself for days. any ideas. thanks


       

Has anyone got a reasonable solution for creating graphics for print in Gimp (in my case book covers and photos inside the book) and they look great in RGb but when converted to CMYK for the printers they come out too dark and/or dull?

I really can see use of the in the case of planetary objects such as the Moon/Sun. "Astrophotography" shots.  Where the pattern of the light is brighter on the outer-edge of the disc (maybe) and you might want to apply a black-level from the outer edge inward at greater levels..... Or visa-versa (depending on the shot.)  It would be nice to have control like that. 

Some anti-vignetting tools give some control to apply similar controls to what I'm talking about.  But a custom Black-Level tool if someone knew how to create one would be cool.  Or 'Contrast-Apply' tool.

sometimes if I'm doing a half-moon, it may not be a perfect circle.  so it should work with the box-select and/or free-select tool.
or if you can think of another solution.  

Obviously I get by with 'Levels', 'Curves' and Balancing the 'Shadows-Highlights' screens.

Is it working for you?

After investigating what's going on (wrong) with Ubuntu 24.04 I've come to the conclusion it's permanent.

   

Canonical and Msoft has been working together for some years now with Msoft attending Ubuntu conferences. Nothing wrong with that except these are contradictory economic systems. Ubuntu get most of their software for free from Debian and volunteer programmers. Somehow this good will has been corporatized in a partnership that is supposed to be good for the users. I don't believe it. This is all about money.

It was just a matter of time before Ubuntu started breaking -down.

   

The problem with Msoft is they force people to jump thru endless hoops and deviations to get anything done. I don't like that.

So I'm moving on possibly to Debian. Debian 12.5 looks good and is a reputable distribution. BTW I don't thing Mint is going to be sucked-in to the Canonical vortex

I am trying to install a a plug-in on 2.10.36. I go to edit - preferences -  folder and expand and go to Plug-ins - I choose the top line and open it -  Can't show file in file manager: ILCreateFromPath() failed 7. How to I correct this??

I am new to Gimp,and a friend has asked me if I can change pictures of him.The pictures are of him "front on".How can I flatten his stomach using Gimp ?
Can someone tell me what tool/tools to use and where I can find a detailed tutorial please,I prefer written tutorials so that I can print them out,rather than utube tutorials.
I look forward to your replies,thank you
