So I'm a super newbie at using GIMP, or any image software for that matter. I just got into making guitar effect pedals and am using GIMP to make the graphics to print onto waterslide paper. I've made one pedal successfully but I pretty much just used a GIMP tutorial and stumbled my way through it. Now I have two more designs made up and my logo and want to print them on one waterslide page. I have printed the 3 separate designs and checked for proper sizing on my pedal enclosure and it's a perfect fit. Last time I'm pretty sure I just copy and pasted from each project onto full sheet size project and printed and it was fine. This time I tried that and the images are coming out a little too big and won't line up with my enclosure.

Hello to all,

I have downloaded the latest version and I am new to this area of scaling and print size. I follow the instructions but I am finding that on scaling screen I cannot make width and height different numbers I change one and it reflects in the other.

Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong or point me to a url that will have exact instructions on this.

I have attached screen shots of what I am seeing.


   


   

It is called "Carbon" now?

   

For those who don't know, take a look at the VERY bottom right on any page and select "carbon"

   

A bit of love on this theme would be nice  

Hi new member here. I reskin locomotives in Train Sim using GIMP. One of the files I recently tried to edit  said that it needed to be saved after editing as a 
dd/S
ARGB 8.8.8.8
Mini maps 12


However there seems to be no facility in GIMP (mine at least) to save it in the ARGB 8.8.8.8 format

Can anyone help please?

Many thanks in advance

Hello

instead of a circle I'm getting a cross so cant select the part of the pic I want to clone . Have hit the Ctrl key and no good . Also when I open a new pic it goes straight to clone. Have even uninstalled and reinstalled

Apparently the site http://abfonts.freehostia.com/ is making its fonts available for download for free:

"Consider all fonts downloaded from abfonts as free for personal, non-commercial use only unless otherwise specified in the newsgroup message, in an accompanying file and/or in the font itself. Get in touch directly with font authors to inquire about the use of a font for commercial purposes.''

It seems that a typography studio closed down and without being able to sell their fonts anymore, they decided to make them available for free. But I am not sure about this information.

Hi, I'm new to the forum.

This is my GIMP python script for the creation of hexagonal grids, with a "best fit" search algorithm for optimal rasterization.

About the plug-in:
        

• It creates an hexagonal grid as a vector "path", covering as much as possible of the image's surface.
  
• The hexagon's ideal dimensions are calculated and then slightly stretched to fit the image's pixels.
  
• To avoid too much stretching, the algorithm searches for the best size within a user chosen interval.
  
• Optionally, the path can be stroked on the active or newly created layer.
  

I've been having trouble installing the BIMP plug-in, with error messages stating 'Official GIMP package not found'.  I looked at the file path for plug-ins indicated in the BIMP executables, and noticed that they were very different from those in my existing GIMP installation. So I have uninstalled GIMP and am starting again.  

I am using an iMac with Apple M1 chip, running OS-X 13.2.1 Ventura.  The GIMP download options are 'GIMP for Intel' and 'GIMP for Apple Silicon'.  I chose the latter, but the dmg file it downloads is called 'gimp-2.10.34-arm64.dmg'.  I thought ARM chips were different again?  Is this the correct download for the Apple M1 chip?

I have found tantalising hints about this problem here and there but no real explanation and no solutions.

I have some trusty old fonts that I'm quite fond of and have used in graphical layouts for many years.

These fonts still look fine in Apple's FontBook.  I can still set text with them in TextEdit.

GIMP continues to see these fonts in its master Fonts Menu as always.

However, it is not drawing the glyphs for these fonts at all.  Instead it is representing them as rectangles containing ASCII code values.

WTH?

I've never had a problem with GIMP and fonts before.  There seems to be no particular rhyme or reason to the failure -- it's not like "only all-caps fonts are failing", or "only fonts with no boldface and italic option are failing."  It seems kind of random.

The one I first noticed was Bank Gothic, an oldie but a goodie.  Then I realised that in the GIMP Font Menu there were some other fonts with no rendition, just ASCII codes.  It's not a large percentage of my font library but it does include some of my favourites.  Grrr!

Does anyone have a clue?
