Hi - I'm a PS user, but can no longer justify the cost. I'm new to Gimp, just figuring out the basics. 

Mac OS 10.13, Gimp 2.10.34 rev 3

How do I make it *not* auto-select (as it's called in PS)?

eg: I select a layer in the layer list. When I click on the screen  to move it, it will move what is under the cursor on the screen, or the topmost layer above the selected layer on the screen.

I tried Prefs > Tool Options > Set layer or path as Active - both on and off - it doesn't make a difference.

Thanks!

Exporting a .bmp file in 32 bit from Gimp: the image does not work on Windows. (LoadImage() call)
Load and save in other programs fixes the bug.
(such as Pixelformer)
The way GIMP does Color Alpha Transparent and Opaque is way cool.

I'm having a problem centering text layers. I select the text>Alignment Tool>Center Icon--and nothing. Same with Justify. What am I doing wrong?

   
I've been experimenting with this technique and ran into an issue. I want to place text along the circumference of an existing circle (a circular object as opposed to a Gimp-drawn circle). I create the circular text and Gimp places it inside the edge boundary of the object, so I used the Move Tool to position it on the outside edge of the rim. When I did this the text warped a bit. How to avoid this?

Should I have perhaps created a circle drawn by Gimp to layer over the outside rim of the circular object?

Thanks--here is an image of the warped text.

Hello, I don't know where I am supposed to look for a solution for this issue or how to best describe it, but here goes nothing.

This issue seems to be very specific and complex. I am trying to open and edit a .png file, which I ripped off the core system of my iPhone via software. But gimp is giving me an error message that simply says:

"Opening 'BatteryBG_4@2x.png' failed:

Error while reading 'BatteryBG_4@2x.png'. File corrupted?"


I know the file is not corrupted. It looks like it has something to do with the source of that image, as re-saving such image will make it work. But I don't know how to do so on a Mac computer, since opening it on gimp doesn't work obviously. I would simply have to get rid of the source.


My device:
Macbook Pro (Retina 13", 2013)

GIMP Version: 2.10

Hope I can find some answers here, thanks in advance!

Hi,

I downloaded the plugin from the github repository but I get this ouput:

I wish to process grayscale images, and convert the gray shades (brightness 0-255) to hue (0-255), pixel for pixel.

More control over the color mapping is better, but I can make do with that by modifying the grayscale image first.

I can find no mention of such an operation. Am I missing something obvious? Is there a way for the GIMP to do this? Is there a plugin that will do it?

I have created a plugin, which allows users to isolate objects within a raster image inside GIMP using Meta Segment Anything.
Please feel free to download and use if you find it useful.

Greetings.

I have made some projects with some layers with varying level of opacity on them.
Then, exporting to PDF the opacity level and layer mode type are lost and all the layers return back to default mode obstructing everything else instead of being applied as intended properly blending as overlays on the man image layers.

I traced a few circles on a existing drawing with a path using the ofnuts plugin 'Shapes / On strokes / Circles' .Is there a plugin to define the center points of the circles?
