  Help!!! How to fault-find lost GIMP installation
Posted by: david - 04-09-2023, 09:54 PM - Forum: Linux and other Unixen - Replies (5)

Ubuntu 20.04
GIMP 2.10.34-1build6-ubuntu2004(focal)

Today when I came to use GIMP it did not load. It is the version originally obtained from the PandaJim PPA and I had python 2.7 support which meant all my usual plug-ins worked.

I tried to start it from the terminal and got:

gimp: error while loading shared libraries: libmypaint-1.5.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I searched in Synaptic for libmypaint-1.5.so.1, but no such file was found.

Any advice will be gratefully received as to how to fault-find this problem.

  Edit tools in side bar
Posted by: RealGomer - 04-09-2023, 09:37 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I absolutely HATE how the various tool icons are shown in the side bar in v2.10. The almost disappear into the background and they're so small I can barely see them. IS there any way to return to the way the tool icons used to be?

  GIMP & dual screen usage?
Posted by: yy_hom - 04-09-2023, 06:50 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (1)

Hi Folks,

GIMP newbie using version 2.8 on 32-bit W7 laptop, just as a hobby, not professional.
Considering buying W11 laptop, and the 'asus zenbook pro duo 15' caught my eye:

https://www.asus.com/us/laptops/for-crea...led-ux582/
https://www.costco.com/asus-15.6-zenbook...31583.html

The 'screenpad plus' feature on the 2nd display supposedly works with Adobe p-shop, etc. Will it also work with GIMP? If not Windows, maybe Linux?

Sorry if this is not posted to the correct forum. TIA for your time.

  Pencil tool lines become invisible
Posted by: farmalama - 04-09-2023, 08:03 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi Guys,
I have spent considerable time using the Pencil tool drawing lines on a Layer. I then moved to the base Layer, used Free Select tool and Bucket Filled the selection. I can no longer get the Pencil to draw visible lines. Is this fixable? Many thanks, farmalama.

  Replacing the Sky - Selection Masking
Posted by: Punchcard - 04-08-2023, 07:17 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

How can I replace a featureless sky with a cloudy one?
Does anyone have a procedure that works?
Is there a plugin for sky swapping?


I've tried the instructions at https://www.mrvicaphotography.com/how-to...-gimp.html .
I claim they don't work.  E.g., selection with the Fuzzy Tool is deranged.  Selection with "by Color" selects on the wrong layer.

  Diamond Checkerboard Pattern
Posted by: 6shooter - 04-08-2023, 01:03 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Good morning everyone. I am trying to create a seamless diamond checker pattern. I want to create a PNG file for my laser engraver and apply a diamond checkerboard pattern for engraving wood. I know how to create a checkerboard pattern, I can figure out how to make the rectangles into diamond shapes and I'm not seeming much online either. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Is there a script to select all the nodes inside a selection?
Posted by: PixLab - 04-07-2023, 03:25 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (6)

I'm speaking about the nodes on a path, actually I need to select multiple nodes I want to move one by one Huh
Select first one > Shift Select next > Shift Select next > Shift Select next > Shift Select next > Shift Select next > Shift Select next > Shift Select next........ that get quickly very very annoying Dodgy

I would like to know if there is something like make a selection, and just run the script and nodes inside the selection are selected

  Blending colors to fill in white cut-out lines?
Posted by: Pier - 04-07-2023, 10:17 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi all,

I've used GIMP in the past and have re-installed it to use it for creating a single photo where i inserted 1 cut-out image (as a layer) onto another image. The smaller image i have cut out has these white lines around it, which i would just like to blend in with the surrounding colors. I'm not really interested in making a better cut out, because the image that is cut out is very complex in shape. I would really just want to 'brush' the white line away. Is such a thing possible? I tried making a selection and using the feather tool, but this only makes the white marginally darker. I really just wanna extend the surrounding color into the white line if possible, or whatever solution. The image will just be used for a thumbnail, so doesn't have to be razor sharp at all in these details. 

Thanks in advance!

attached is a zoomed-in shot of the inserted image and white line
