Hi, I'm not very experienced with Gimp. I recently updated to version 3.0.6 rev 1. Previously, I could display multiple new image icons below the main menu bar, but now I can't find how to do it in Preferences. Has the feature that allowed closing images with a single click been removed? 
Thanks for help

Happy Holidays Everyone!

I am back with another problem. Is there an easy way to crop out each image individually? I did one by hand.

Thanks 

   

   

Sometimes you come across a graphics program that's worth exploring. Completely free for personal use and available for Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Using either Gimp 3.0.6 or Gimp 2.10, on a Mac currently running Sequoia 15.6.1, the font list shows a lot of fonts with names beginning with a dot, including a lot of ".SF ..." fonts. I don't know where they are. I can't find them on the drive. I want to delete them or at least keep them from showing up on the Gimp font list.

Same thing occurs on an older Mac running High Sierra 10.13.6, but on that system the "dotted" fonts are in alphabetical order ignoring the dot, while onthe newer Mac they're at the top of the list.

I still want to know where they are and whether I can get them off the font list.

For those who still want to use 8bf files in GIMP 3, here's a solution: https://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=21600. Tested with GIMP 3.2.0-RC2 and this plugin works. Some 8bf files are not usable.

Hi guys,


Under Windows, I have been using GIMP for years... actually... for decades. Every new version was a loved improvement.

I have 2.10 installed on 3 computers... effff PhotoShop!

But Windows 11 is not an OS... it's an AS. An Advertising System. That's it! Effff Microsoft. In the past I had Linux boxes, Fedora 8, CentOS 4. So I'm back at Linux... Fedora 42 KDE.

Install GIMP... 3.0.6... What the Hell?

Default is cut&paste is as a new layer and when you want to move it, it selects the top layer!!! You got to go Shift click so to move the layer you ARE ON???

The tool tips are mad and there's no way to disable them... if GTK 3 is crap... you don't use it. You're going to irreversibly damage your installed base.

I'm trying to do a simple livery a racing game and in 2.1 it would 4 to 6 hours. I've just wasted the whole day and I'm barely halfway. 3... is a regression.


I apologize but I'm not a happy camper right now.

Hi guys,

I run Fedora.

I have Gimp 3.0.6 installed through the DNF package manager.

Under Fedora... probably most RPM based distribution, there is no Gimp-Help package.
Through the KDE GUI software installer, Discover, there is a FlatPack GIMP User Manual but, 1- it's 2.1 and 2- Gimp cannot find it.

So I downloaded gimp-help-3.0.0.tar.bz2, decompressed it but where do I need to put it so Gimp sees it?


Thank You !

GIMP 3.0.6 on Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon
Using the paint bucket tool, sections that were already filled change color.
I made an image with several sections that I want to fill with the paint bucket. 
I filled several sections with red without a problem.
I start filling the next sections with pink (see settings below) When I fill the first empty section with pink, no problem. When I click the second empty section, it is filled with pink, but the first pink section changes to red. When I click the third section, the second changes to red as well. When I click the second section again, that one turns pink but the third one goes to red.
The sections are closed; there's no "leakage".
I tried closing and restarting the program, but that didn't change anything.

I hope this description makes sense. I wanted to attach a video but that didn't work.

Does anybody know why this happens and - more importantly - how to prevent this?

Foreground color: pink
Background color: white 
Tool settings:
FG color: pink
BG color: white
Mode: normal
Fill type: FG color fill
Affected area: fill similar colors
Finding similar colors: Fill transparent areas
Threshold: 116,1
Fill by: composite

Thank you.

Just thanks. Good improvement!

Say I have a photo that is resolution 2000 x 1500. Now say I put it in a web page, and scale it using css to 600 x 400. NOW, say that I take that same 2000 x 1500 image and scale it down to 600 x 400 using Gimp or even Photoshop. If I take the second image, put it in a web page and display it at its 600 x 400 width, and compare it with the first larger image that was scaled using only css, the second one ALWAYS looks fuzzier. Also, the colors will often also look diminished.

So, my question is, why can't Gimp or Photoshop do as good of a job scaling images as HTML/css can?
