Selection information window vanished! |

As you select an area of an image, then a dialogue on the LHS would tell you how big your selection was.
You could then fine tune before the crop.
I've accidently pressed something and this dialogue of information is no longer showing.
How do I turn it back on?

I have rembg installed locally on 22.04 and it is working fine through Terminal.
https://github.com/danielgatis/rembg
It would be nice to know how to use the GIMP plugin though. Any help will be great.
PS: I am using the GIMP AppImage.
Thanks.
I added the file from GIMP Chat to the plugins folder for the AppImage, but I do not see any PythonFu entry in the menu
I think the script is for Flatpak and I am using AppImage
There is a line in the script which says
Code:
cmd = "flatpak-spawn --host %s i %s %s %s" % (aiExe, option, jpgFile, pngFile)
Not sure which is the right command for the AppImage
There is also a part which says remove temporary files
Code:
if removeTmpFile:
if osName == "Windows":
del_command = "del \"%s%sTemp-gimp-0000.*\"" % (tdir, exportSep)
else:
del_command = "rm %s%sTemp-gimp-0000.*" % (tdir, exportSep)
os.system(del_command)
Is the right command for Ubuntu?
I replaced the Chinese text with English. Not sharing because I have no intention to remove parts of original code distribute.
Looks like I have to install Python2 to get gimpfu working. Because there is a line saying
from gimpfu import *
Tried installing Python 2 and it says
python2 is already the newest version (2.7.18-3).
Not sure how to get the PythonFu working inside GIMP AppImage. Maybe Flatpak version is the only option.

How do you copy paste in a normal human way? |

I have two layers. I use the lasso tool in one layer to select some portion of an image in layer 1. I now want to copy it and paste it into layer 2. This seems utterly impossible. Ctrl+c should copy what's lassoed. Ctrl+v should paste what was copied into whatever layer I have selected no? Why doesn't it? This seems overly complicated to perform in Gimp.
Really what I want to do is select the inverse of what I select in layer 1 and DELETE it. E.g. I trace the edges of a flower, select the inverse of it, and delete it, and should now be left with a intricate flower, with no background beyond the border I just drew, so that whatever image lies underneath it shines through (i.e. what I deleted is now transparent). But that seems impossible. I have to choose an actual color? Why doesn't delete, delete and fill, fill?
There has to be some menu/option system I'm missing. There is no way this is how it's designed.

How to get a PDF to print at 600 DPI |

The place I want to have print my image says they prefer pdf, the maximum dpi they can print at is 600 dpi. However, pdf doesn't save at anything but 100 dpi even if I convert a 600 dpi .jpg or .xcf file.
If I want the maximum 600 dpi quality at the particular dimensions I want with a pdf file, what's the process when going from a jpg or xcf file?
Thanks!

Best way to remove glare |

I've got a photo of a painting that has an irregularly shaped glare reflection. I've been getting decent results using the Free Select tool and mild stages of brightness/contrast reduction on progressively smaller areas of the image to avoid an obvious border where the filter has been applied but wondering if there's a better, quicker more effective way to do it.
Thanks!

Recommended workflow to retain maximum quality of an image for printing |

Starting with a .jpg taken by a cousin with an iPhone of a painting done by a relative.
Properties of the original .jpg I was sent per Gimp are:
42" x 56"
72 ppi
3.7 mb
RGB
It's a pic in sharp focus of the painting in a frame. The plan is to crop out just the painting, straighten it and bring it down to the original size of 23.5" x 29.25" and have it printed with some border around it for framing.
What do you recommend as the optimal workflow to go from the original to a format to have a print made of it and what method of printing do you recommend? Office Depot does prints that size as posters but they use a variety of inkjet printer and I wonder if there's something better that an actual print shop might use. The goal is to retain as much of the sharpness and detail as possible.
What DPI should I use for best results? I gather most places like .pdf as a file to print from? Is there a particular stock you recommend?
Thanks!
