My first post here...

I am a jeweller and post pics of the jewellery i make on my website, ebay etsy etc.

I have had some success with changing the colours of stones using gimp... garnet to Amethst, sapphire , Rubt etc.

But I'm trying to work out how to change silver jewellery into gold.

If anyone can point me to a tutorial I would be grateful.

Here is a photoshop tutorial.. I need the same thing for GIMP

Hi!

In Inkscape it is possible to perform some Boolean functions (I think this is the term) both via the menu and keyboard shortcuts.

For Union (ctrl+ +) or difference (ctrl+ -) I can easily get results both via the menu and via the keyboard.

However, for Exclusion (ctrl+ ^) or Intersection (ctrl+ *) I can only do it via menus (Path - Exclusion). 

I have tried to produce the ctrl+^ key combination in several ways; numeric keypad (8 key), ~/^ key, but no results.

Would anyone know how to make these shortcuts work via keyboard? Possibly I'm missing something very simple (at least from the Inkscape developers' point of view).

Thanks.

This Gimp version is part of Ubuntu 24.04 'Noble' long term support to be released in April 2024. The apt package is already available and from that we make the AppImages.
These AppImages use an 'overlay filesystem' supported by Ubuntu automatically . Other distros like MX Linux use a 'fuse-overlayfs' . For MX install with: ' sudo apt install fuse-overlayfs '
Tested on Ubuntu 22.04 and MX Linux 23.1. They don't work on earlier systems.

I found it can be installed with  

Does anyone know how to create something like this in gimp . I want to be able to generate images for paper cutting.

When I load a TIF file, a dialog pops up.
If I click "Don't ask me again", how do I get back to having the dialog pop up?

I load a *.jpg picture into Gimp v2.10.36 on Windows.
Then I go to menu

Image--->Canvas size

and enter a new canvas size and "fill with"=White
resize Layers=None

The canvas size is applied BUT the new background area is still shown as transparent checkerboard.
Why? I want to see pure white color.

Furthermore I close the current picture and load a new one.
When I go to menu

Image--->Canvas size

again the initial Canvas size shows again the dimensions of the current picture.
How can I tell Gimp to remember my previously entered target Canvas Size (even beyond exit and restart of Gimp)?

Or did I got unlucky? Just asking because I told myself... "Seriously? I need to wait?!? But I am extraordinaire!"

   

For those who are searching for an older, previous, antic version of GIMP, it's over-there > https://download.gimp.org/gimp/

GIMP did keep all its archives starting from GIMP 0.99, thus if you have an old Linux you can compile them, there are also binaries for the different Microsoft's Windows and MacOSX/macOS which is more convenient.

For the older binaries, for sure it might not work on your latest OS, but if you did kept the CD of Microsoft's Windows XP or the Apple's MacOS X Snow Leopard...  
Microsoft's Windows binaries (.exe) start at GIMP 2.4 (does not work on Windows 95/98/Millennium-Me)
MacOS X binaries (.dmg) start at GIMP 2.8 (Should work starting with Leopard or Snow Leopard)

On a side note:
When I was using MacOSX, I did download GIMP from the Simone website on lisanet.de which was called GIMP on OSX, because he did put plugins like G'MIC, Resynthesizer, and few other ones in its binaries.
Then when I ditched Apple for good to switch to full Linux everywhere in 2016, I got lucky as the next year or a year later Simone did stop its DMGs, but you can still download these old versions from its source forge page > https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimponosx/files/

On a side note2:
For the Linux users, aferrero2707 is a very well-known AppImage GIMP maker, his auto-script did stop to work starting version 2.10.25 & 2.99.3, due to a website changing its policy about compiling, but you can still download its appimages on github > https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-app...continuous
Still on github a new guy is doing appimages recently for both stable and dev GIMP version, he call them Archimage, but as of today the latest appimage (arch) does works like a charm on Ubuntu 20.04, , it's here > https://github.com/ivan-hc/GIMP-appimage/releases
The only drawback is the lack of python2 support, but you can download the Tas_mania python launcher Appimage over-there > https://github.com/TasMania17/Gimp-Appim...-for-Linux

When I Increase the size of the canvas, I get a red tinted area that shows the increased size. How do I get rid of that? 
I have included a screenshot 
Mad OS 13.6 Ventura
Gimp 2.10.36
The also happened in 2.10.34

Is there a way to set the default value for jpg exports to 100%? Right now it's 90% and I always save at 100%. I've looked through the export settings in Preferences and see only Export File Type but nothing about quality.
