hi
   I  set  clone  then     click  on a  part of  the  pic  I  want to  take
colour  from

thats  ok  but  as  I  move  the  brush  to   put  colour on  pic
the  circle  over  the  orig  color  moves.....  surely  for  best  results  that  should
remain  still   getting  the  exact  colour  I  want  ?

thanks  for  help or  comment

The "Environment map" selector in my "Lighting Effects" filter remains empty. Are there special constraints? I tried with an image of the same size as the layer, with and without an alpha channel, and could never get something to choose from. Both images are garden-variety 8bpc... What am I missing?

Hi, Im trying to get a glass effect over this image so it looks as though its framed. Im not sure if the colour needs changing on the image as well but i want it to look as real as possible. Can anyone help please. 

TIA 
Andy

I wrote some plugins which get executed via the Popen() function. They were working just fine, but after upgrading to version 2.10.34, all they do is generate error messages about not being able to find certain msys dll's. All 3 dll's exist in both the "GIMP 2/bin" and the appropriate msys folder. The plugins still work when I execute them manually from the Windows Command Prompt, so what do I have to do to get them to work again with GIMP?

I have thousands of images to process. I would like to apply a custom palette to each. 

So Alt-I > M > I brings me to the custom palette menu

all that's easy to automate with a mouse macro even

but the rest isn't easily automated. i want to apply the "Grays" default palette to the image

and then i have to scroll down and use the search to find "Grays". it will always be the "Grays" palette.

then click convert

I would like a one button solution. 

1. load the image
2. click a button to apply the "Grays" palette < this is the part i want to automate
3. do my edits to the image
4. save it

can this be done with python maybe?

Everytime i try to install GIMP and execute it, my computer shuts down and logs into another of my accounts! I dont know why. 
Device: 64x Windows 10

I am working with GIMP 2.10 but i read that there is a GIMP 3.0 

Is this GIMP 3.0 beter? 1And if yes, how can i update to this GIMP 3.0?

Playing with an AI text to image and I put in:
australian v8 rat rod with iridescent camouflage body.

   


French v8 rat rod with iridescent camouflage body

   

Neither machine is mechanically coherent or capable and I'm not sure what inspired the French one?

Glad I finally found this place.

I'm running GIMP 2.88 on a Mac OS 10.12.6. I may upgrade to OS10.16 soon. Will I have to get a more recent version of GIMP?

I'd like to be able to use the paint bucket tool to flood fill contiguous areas, but in way that treats the image as if it wraps around, such that the left edge connects with right edge and top connects with bottom (effectively a toroidal map). Is there a way to do this in GIMP? 

I need this because I'm colouring images that are square in proportion with a pattern that tessellates. These images are generated with cellular automaton rules. See example images. First shows a starting image.
   

Same image with one connected line flood filled as if with wrap-around:
   

Showing how it connects when tessellated.
   

Until recently, I've been colouring by hand, using the paint bucket to fill an area, identifying where it reaches an edge, then identifying where it connects on the opposite side, then flood filling that new area, and so on until it returns to the bit that was first filled.
More recently I've been using the Cartesian Transform in the Deformations menu of G'MIC, applying a +1 pixel shift to both X and Y after the first flood fill, which pushes the bottom and right edges over to the opposite sides, showing where to continue the flood fill (instead of judging by eye or by measuring X.Y position). Then applying a -1 shift to X and Y and doing a flood fill from there, and so on until it is complete.

It's looking like the only way to fully automate it is to re-write the code for the flood fill algorithm, so that instead of stopping at the edges of an image it looks at the adjacent pixels on the opposite connecting edge. I've got some coding experience, mainly with Mathematica which I use to generate these cellular automaton images, but am not really a programmer. So any suggestions for how to implement this would be appreciated.
