I am confused. After a while of not using Gimp I need to do something which worked the past worked...somehow.

1. I dragged a new image to Gimp
2. I selected "Rectangle Select Tool" and selected an area in the currently visible image
3. I selected the "Move Tool"
4. I clicked into the rectangle area and dragged it.

Surprisingly not the rectangle area is moved but the underlying whole picture.
Whats wrong?
How can I move selected are only?

Could someone help me to figure out a way in Gimp 2.10.36
to change thick lines into thinner ones?  Is there a function
that would speed the process?  Currently I am reducing the line
with a digital art pad and I would rather reduce the thickness by 
computer and not by me trying to erase a line.

Assume I select a rectangle and moved it inside the image.

How can I unselect the current selection?

How can I merge all current layers into one layer (=the base image)?

I found no toolbox symbol or menu

I clicked on menu

File--->New

and try to create one with 3000x15000 pixels (see attached snapshot).
Much to my surprise I got a warning popup that gimp will create an image with size of 475 MB.
A simple image with pure white background?
I guess its the uncompressed size (not .png or *.jpg format)

And yes the maximum image size in Preferences is about 128MB

What would be the recommended maximum image size for a computer with 16GB RAM?

Whats would happened if I create an image beyond my maximum?
Will the new image be saved (completely) into (and handled from) swapfile on SSD/hard disk?
Or will it be rejected?

   

Hello, i am trying to add an .svg label to images using Python-fu, but getting an unhelpful error code when trying to load the .svg

My console text:

➤> pdb.gimp_path_import(image, "label.svg", TRUE, FALSE)

the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
RuntimeError: execution error

I am guessing this is a path problem.  New to this stuff, any tips would be appreciated, thanks!

This plugin is an equivalent of bucket-fill with patterns, except that it uses several patterns at random. In other words, provided with an image like this:

   

   

I don't get the option to create a thread in the other area's, must be a new member limitation, so here goes and I hope this is the right place.

In photoshop there is a filter called "Other" that contains the following filters:

Custom, High pass, Maximum and Minimum and Offset.

I have not been using Gimp for long so don't know if there an equivalent for these filters already  in the software, but with different names, or do I have to add a plug in or script to add them?


If the latter can someone tell me which ones I need please?

THanks in advance.

To test a script I'm working on, I was searching for a GIH that creates Xmas balls. So I searched for:
 

gimp gih xmas balls


Some of the image results are quite disturbing 

I have no idea why every youtube video shows gradient option, I have none of those options I use GIMP  2.10.36 and I have given up so I am just gonna ask for help here.

I want this image  all the end parts to fade in the pink background, gimp is beyond complicated
also the guitar edges should fade into pink if thats possible
