I’m new to this I’m making A.I art and when making an image after upscaling and uploading it to gimp . I make 5 templates with ratios 2:3 3:4 4:5 11”x14” and A1 size . When I try to export these images from gimp to jpg I can only seem to export the 2 smaller sizes . The ratio sizes show as a 0kb file and don’t load up . Iv tried saving to different folders but it seems gimp can’t export these file sizes . Is there anything I could do to fix this ? Any help would be really appreciated, thank you ?

I'd love to run an autosave script-fu plug-in on start-up, is it even possible to call a script-fu plug-in from a C function?

I am brand new to Gimp and have limited experience with other photo editors. 
Using a MacBook Pro, M1 with Ventura 13.4.1 OSX
Loaded Gimp from the Gimp website. Seems to load ok. Have loaded a file but that is as far as I went before trying to load Resynthesizer.
Went to the Github site and got the plug in files for Resythesizer.
Next step (according to the Davies Media design site) is to go to "preferences" and find the plug in folders location and then load the file. But I cannot find the "preferences" nor can I see anything related to folders and where to find them.

Any ideas? Do I have the wrong version ion Gimp nstalled?

I do not see the preferences option in the drop down menu under "Gimp":

Nor do I see it under the "edit" drop down:

Is it possible to create conditional options for PF_ commands?

For instance, I have various scripts where a selection is saved to a channel for future use. What I would like to be able to do is give the user the option, at the start, as to whether the selection is re-instated after the plug-in is run, but not appear if a selection is not present.

At the moment this is a hypothetical question, but the answer may be helpful to other people.

I have a number of hi-res (600 dpi) images that contain transparency. I want to create a montage of these images but when I copy and paste the original images into the montage base image (which has a transparency channel) the alpha channel is not copied and the transparency is lost.

This not a Windows 10 or 11 issue - the same thing happens in Linux (Fedora 37) as well. Even more confusing is that using the sequence Edit->Paste as->New Image produces a perfect copy with the transparency intact, which would indicate that the image is not altered by the copying process, but something is happening during the paste process.

This is of some urgency as I need to publish this montage ASAP.

Is there a solution in GIMP - or do I need to look elsewhere?

Okay, so this has happened to me a few times. Recently, I used the paths tool to target a woman's hair in an image to swap colors and change the hair color. I spent maybe 10-15 minutes meticulously placing anchors to place a selection by paths so I'd only make changes to the hair. I feel comfortable with all the work I put in and then mistakingly select "Rotate Colors" before selecting "to paths." I realize my error when all the colors in the image are changing instead of what I...failed to click select>from path. I back out and all of my 100+ anchors are now gone and all that work lost.

My question is, is there an option to undo this somewhere? To undo my blunder and save the 100+ carefully placed anchors that I just lost?

With both the heal and clone tools I can't set a source. The message says ' Ctrl-Click to set a new source' but this does not work. I'm using Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon.

We do all this work to enhance our pictures but then have to take them somewhere for prints. Can someone recommend a reasonable priced home printer for quality pictures?

Thanks in advanced

I imported 30+ PNG files of a fireball output from the fun TimelineFX tool.

I did the import as layers option.

I've tried with and without filter animation blending.

When I do filter animation playback, the edges of the animation coming from the separate fireball layers which have alpha transparency...

bleed solid orange all around the circumference.

This seems very strange. I did the "replace" option for each image/layer in the playback and it still does it.
My expectation for the animation is that the tiny particles at the edges would disappear layer to layer as it was being displayed, giving the effect of fluid fire particles.

Thoughts?

In the past I've taken sequences of images like that and animated like in JavaFX and it was smooth and accurate.

I would just use the GIF that can be output from TimelineFX but it is just a little bit slow with no way of adjusting.
So I wanted to create a GIF using Gimp.
I'm using 2.10.34
