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.

I have Gimp 2.8.16 and when I open pictures the files show and sub-files show but when I click the files, there are no pictures there. If I select "show all files" then they show but when I try to load, Gimp doesn't recognize the file name whether GIF, JPeg, etc. Also if I draw something in Gimp there are no extensions to select from to save. Also noticed when I went to "About Gimp" the link to Gimps web page doesn't work. Not sure what went wrong but I do know the last thing I did that could have changed things was when I did a disc clean up. I'm running Window 10 - 64 bit. I've read a lot of old complaints about similar issues but nothing worked or the person helping talked over my head. Not all that savvy with computer operations. Any help or ideas I would love. Thanks

Hi,

I've looked at previous threads on this subject but as they are a couple years old, I was wondering if there is more current knowledge on this subject.

I am using GIMP 2.10.22 on OS 11.7.6 (Big Sur). I have tried multiple times following many different YouTube videos as well as GIMP's own documentation to assign an ICC color profile. I always end up with the window saying ICC Profiles Validation Failed. Color Profile is not for RGB color space. This is after I have added profiles in Preferences and saved them.

I would appreciate any suggestions how to resolve. I have started using CYAN but I can't help but feel there must be way to get it to work within GIMP. Thanks so much!

Hi Everyone.. My name is Paul.  lm a Newbie here I repair pinballs as a hobby and decided to recreate new artwork for 1 of them that was badly worn out The friend helping me who  has been ill for sometime now he is no longer available so the project has now halted at 90% Is there anyone here with some spare time willing to get it over the finishing line ?  the Only crucial part is the alignment of the artwork to the plastic inserts.. I cant post pics or My artwork the files are too large
In hope Regards Paul
