Hi There

I am trying to make a flag and I have been following this
Photorealistic Flags Tutorial - Imgur
Problem I am having is when I hit the stage of displace as gimp has come on a long way since this post 2016
The displace tool is not doing anything to the flag layer and I cant work out why or is there another way?

Cheers

Forget this as I have started again from scratch and now it works so no idea what happened there

I used to use "Hue" and "Saturation" layer modes, according to this tutorial, but the GIMP labels seem to have been renamed.
What are the respective ones called?

Simplest form of question:

When saving or exporting, I am unable to locate a file folder I know to exist

Gimp version GIMP 2.10.34

Windows 10

Hello. Today I have a new problem with removing the background in an image. The alpha channel comes up white after "select>invert>delete" just like it's not a PNG file even though it is. My workflow is thus- File>New>Ok>Layer>Transparency>Add Alpha channel>Click the eyeball in the layers box to pull up alpha(it does come up in the alpha pattern)>click the chain icon to lock. File>Open as Layers>>open PNG file>Paths Tool>Make sure it's in Design>make path>at the end, hit enter to complete the chain>Select>invert>delete. This is where the background should be "alpha" and it's not. It has always worked until today. Yes, I have had the "it must be PNG" lesson already. Any ideas? Do I need to re-load GIMP?  Thanks for your time.  J

Всем привет!

Мне нужен ваш совет. 
Опроблему в кратце: Я хотел заменить оранженвое освещение на теле персонажа с оранжевого, на белый, но никак не пойму, как это сделать.

Спасибо заранее!



Hi all!

I need your advice.
The problem in a nutshell: I wanted to change the orange lighting on the character's body from orange to white, but I just can't figure out how to do it.

Thanks in advance!

Both Plug-Ins made by the "Ofnuts" person.

The "Path-Inbetweener" Plug-In creates many layers of Paths within two existing Paths, sectioning your shape up so that it looks like an integration maths problem. Then apparently the "Stroke-Visible-Lines" Plug-In is supposed to be able apply incremental colours from a Gradient to each of those intermediary Paths, so that in theory, with enough intermediary layers, you should be able to apply a colour gradient to a custom shape: by tracing the shape's outline with a Path and then a miniature of the shape at its centre, filling the intermediary space with additional paths, then 'Stroking' those paths with individual increments of a colour-gradient. However all I can achieve using that Plug-In tool is to apply the Background colour to all of those paths.

I can install Plug-Ins made by the "Ofnuts" person. But I can't see anywhere at all instructions as to how to actually find each tool, once installed, on the UI. Am I missing something? Does everyone else just automatically know exactly in which hidden corner of the interface each of the hundreds of Plug-Ins is stored? 

I'm trying to use the "Path-Inbetweener" and "Stroke-Visible-Lines" Plug-Ins. Apparently the former is used before the latter; but I've searched every single menu-tab and can't find anything that looks like it corresponds to what the "Path-Inbetweener" Plug-In is supposed to do.

Hail:

Lately I am more and more confronted with the .JXR and .JXL format, from my company out.
I often want to edit these, alas ... 
... GIMP does not appear to accept this format.
Which is sad, as GIMP is my tool to go, I like it a lot more than say Adobe's Photoshop, which I also have, but ignore.
Heh.

Is it possible to have these 2 formats in the next GIMP edition, please?

Thank you:
Xog.

Hail all:

Now, I've been using Gimp for quite a while, and all the time, I checked "Save this XCF file with better but slower compression" manually.

How can I make it so, that this becomes the normal, standard form, please?

Thank you:
Xog.

With Ofnuts plugin 'Decompose to color channels' I got quick a nice effect on a photo that was taken with a blue spotlicht in the back. Could be done with another workflow, but I found this a quick one.
