hello dear friends  - good day 


 i have a new  image - and i want to color the field

a. above the line with blue and the area 
b. below the line with magenta (e.g. the color that is shown in the heard of the smilies

well - how to start  here - how to achieve that

I have spent an embarrassing amount of time creating high quality PNG images which I have layered into worksheets I plan to sell.  Now I need to flatten my pages.

When I use Image>Flatten, my beautiful images look faded.  The drop shadows nearly disappear altogether.  The loss of quality is dramatic.  I've tried increasing the Quality slider in the Export popup from 90 to 100 with no noticeable improvement.  

What do I do?

I am using GIMP 2.10.36.

Thank you!

I'm trying to set a variable or a function but nothing is working, I always got "Illegal function", or "unbound variable", or whatnot

A screenshot about what I try to do
Having a variable will allow me to only input the variable in the other lines (in red), unless my thinking is wrong (that's also something to take in count).
   

Here is the code, if I understood (while (> i 0) where i is a variable and I try to catch when i is equal to 1
How can I catch that number to change the variable depending that number?

Anything I create with Gimp 2.10.36 has two curved arrows in a circle and says "availability status: sync pending"

How do I get rid of this?

Thanks

Inspired by Rich2005 over-there >  https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Tip-to...es-at-once which he literally wrote the WebP part

Use case: You got a bunch of images in GIMP and you have finished to work on them, and want to export all at once in JPG or WebP or PNG, or TIFF or even BMP
Or another use case: You did slice your image using guides with Image > Slice Using Guides with a grid of 10x10 and you got 100 opened images, go to export them one by one...  

You will want this with all those images opened (un-zip, then put the .scm file in the scripts folder)
  sg-save-all-open-a.scm.7z (Size: 2.29 KB / Downloads: 1275)

Now you just go to File > Export All Images As... Chose your folder, Chose the type of image, Give a generic name, and a start number (auto-numbering)

   

What changed with the original ?
A lot, like A LOT.
Export the full image and not just a layer.
Once you chose where to save and the file type, you can get a coffee or a beer, the script will care for the other million opened images and no question asked by GIMP.
No default settings from GIMP,  as before the exported JPG was bigger than the original,

Thus now you can set your settings in the code, I did comment ALL for > JPG, WebP, PNG and TIF
   

Hello,

is there a way to save export settings ?

I always export to WEBP and i always use the same settings. But selecting the different settings (file type, extension, quality etc...) takes more time and clicks, and scrolls than the actual export. So is there a way to save those settings ?

Thanks for your help

Currently the default for my postings is "NO subscribe".

How can I tell the forum software to always automatically subscribe me for email notifications of my new postings?

I found no user preferences section here.

Currently the only way to undo the previous action() is to select menu "Edit"-->"Undo"

I hate menus. I prefer toolbars.

Is there a way of creating something like a toolbar button for "undo"?

How can I assign a new function the mouse wheel?

In future using the mouse wheel the current picture should be zoomed in or out.

I am not that tech-savvy. But using Gimp happily for enhancing my photographs. Wish to install refocus. I downloaded the package and unzipped. Found the plugin folder to place the extract. It does not work perhaps I am missing something. I do not know how to run ./configure or something. I appreciate if someone could help me in this. 

Thanks and Regards
