Hi,

I installed Gimp 2.10.36 a week ago on my new Macbook M3 Pro Apple Silicon with OXS Sonoma 14.1.2.

Right after booting Gimp, I noticed that instead of letters, "codes" were scrolling through the screen.
   
Once booted, the problem persisted. 

A week of searching on the internet for now only yields many (too) vague clues, but no clear answer, hence my question; 
What is wrong, and how do I fix this ?

Regards,

I work as a teacher for the visually impaired (VI) and I need to make this image of a special protractor transparent, leaving the black lines and numbers, so that I can demonstrate it being used to measure angles on an interactive screen. The protractors which come with the screen software aren't VI ones. 
I have looked at tutorials, but haven't successfully managed to do this. How would I go about doing this?

Hi all. I am close to giving up on this one, and need help from you good people.
I have seen all videos and read all tutorials i can find, but i am still stuck.

A problem with these tutorials are that they use quality images. The one i have been given are most likely been taken with a toaster.
It is about the hairline. I can for the life of me not get a good selection. After trying freehand for i while, i realized that it simply is not good enough, Help!

I am using GIMP 2.10.18

I wanted to create a geometric object in GIMP but decided to do it in AutoCAD and plotted it as a pdf which worked fine. I did it white on black in Acad and it came out fine as black on white as a pdf.

I tried to import it to GIMP and rotate and resize it to suit the Youtube icon of 300x300 pixels.

I got what appears to be a transparency layer added but there is only one layer containing the pdf.  I am obviously missing something but if this workflow is fundamentally incorrect it would be good to know. 

Any tips would be welcome.

I had been working on an image for almost an hour when Gimp crashed.  It may have been a conflict with MS Edge browser because the browser greyed out and could not be accessed.  I was able to close the browser with task manager.  All the other open windows seemed to be ok.

Then when I restarted Gimp I was informed that there had been an unexpected closure and I was asked if I wanted to recover. I gave it a go and to my surprise most? of the open and unsaved images were recovered including the one I had been working on.  The ones that did not reappear were the open files that had not been worked on.

The smudge tool on my Windows 11 PC is not picking up colour.  On first opening it does so, but then stays with that colour ever afterwards.  In other words, it has become identical with the paintbrush.

I have reinstalled several times without being able to correct this behaviour.  

Also, the latest installation has adopted Spanish as its language and I've been unable to reset it to English, partly no doubt because I don't understand the instructions I'm getting in Spanish.

When I open my gif it seems to loose parts on every other layer but the "Background" layer. If anyone knows why this happens then I will be very greatful.

I made this last month and use the appimage for all Gimp projects. I find it reliable. Plug-ins and scripts go in '$HOME/.config/GIMP/2.10/'. The same place as a Gimp deb pack. That's because the appimage is made from an Ubuntu deb, part of the upcoming 24.04 'Noble' version of Debian to be released in April 2024.



There is an Ubuntu and an all other Linux version. They are on my github.

Tested on Ubuntu 22.04, MX Linux 23.1 and Linux Mint 21.2

So everything was working fine, but I needed to upgrade my Mac for some programs I run. So I upgraded to Sonoma 14.2.1 and Gimp stopped working. So I looked and I needed to upgrade Gimp... so I did. The program opens fine, but after I load in a project (any project I have tried several older ones) everything stops and the cursor just turns into an endlessly spinning ball. I attempted a screenshot, but the moment I do so the cursor goes away. Is anyone else running into this? Or is it just me? Gimp is a major workhorse for what I do and I would not want to lose it.

Hello everyone, I would like to use the AI plugins for gimp and I'm trying to install the packages (babl and gegl) and gimp from source following https://github.com/intel/openvino-ai-plugins-gimp 

Unfortunately I get to an error when building gegl. Below is the final part of the error:
