Fellow Image Manipulators:
I have this problem with GIMP when trying to make a selected area transparent so that part of an underlying photo is shown in the foreground image.
Using two layers, one of a photo under, a drawing above, I select by any method, but usually, Quick Mask, part of the drawing. I then proceed to fill the selection White, and then I order, "White to Alpha". In the preview it shows exactly what is intended, namely, the selected area is transparent and it shows part of the photo below. But once I push "Accept", then one of two possible weird things happen.
One is that if the Under Layer has a size as the canvas size, ALL of the drawing gets more or less transparent, as if by its content of "white". But it gets quite transparent.
The other is if the under layer is in size a fraction of the canvas, the whole part of the upper layer outside the size of the under layer gets this "partial but almost transparent" effect", the selected intended size gets the full transparent, and, the part above the area of the under layer that is not selected, is alright, that is, not transparent.
So I end with only that "margin" right, and everything else wrong.

Hallo all,

The current GIMP version has a layout in gray colors. The old versions was in color. Is it possible to change the newer version also in color? For more clarity see attachments.

Thanks in advance for the person who can help me.

Regards,

Ferry

Hello all,

I have a really annoying problem and I hope you can help me =)

I´ve installed a new Font in Windows (OpenClassic)

The Font is visible in GIMP, but it just looks like a standard Font.

In the attached images you can see how it looks in GIMP (wrong) and how it looks in word and every other program i tested (right)

Things I tested:
Deleting and Reinstalling the Font
Deleting and reinstalling GIMP
Deleting the Font Cache Folder
Adding the font manually to the specified Folders under Settings in Gimp

Sadly nothing seems to work =(

I hope you can help mit with this.

Best regards!

For whatever reason, I can no longer change the radius of the paintbrush (or other) tools.  I even uninstalled and reinstalled Gimp, but the problem persists.  I'm running 2.10.34.  Image attached

Can't change radius

Hello, I would like to know if any of you know how to remove a shine effect due to reflections?
On this image I would like to have the butt of the rifle uniform without shine effects.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide me.

Hi,
Is there anyway to get the selected pixel count (as displayed in the histogram) into the clipboard, so I can use Autokeypad to put it into a spreadsheet?
Cheers

I'm looking for something like what this website does, but for gimp. It will save me hours for work.

I don't mind if it is paid or not

Is it possible to have a script that can undo its own actions in the middle of operating? For example:
- An image with layers A, B, and C
- Hide layer C
- Flatten image
- Export image
- Undo the flattening and hiding to get the image back to its original state
- Hide layer B
- Flatten image
- Export image

I know that undo groups can be used to manually undo several steps of a script simultaneously after the script runs, but I wasn't sure if the script could undo its own actions automatically (mainly irreversible ones, like flattening the image or indexing colors).

I use a few different forums and notice they are set-up into 2 main types. On a forum like Gimp Chat any post or comment on a post goes to the top of the landing page. On Gimp-Forum the landing page shows a list of sections and sub-forums and the most recent sub-forum activity goes to the top of that sub-form. 

I think forum design affects users and their behavior. On 'the most recent first' forums people are encouraged to form alliances in order to promote content. At times it looks like promoting content is more important that the content itself. Recently the landing page was mostly posts by one author.
On the 'list of sections' forums people can ignore sub-forums they are not interested in. Having one author appear in every sub-forum would appear ridiculous.
So I think Gimp-Forum is the better design even if it does not appear so frantic most of the time

I've got a whole document that looks like this; the text is faded, and there's this pale gray… CLOUD... around it. Anything I do to try to fade or remove the cloud makes the text worse; the light areas of text are just too close to the color of the cloud. Darkening the text also darkens the cloud for the same reason. There's got to be a way, though, right…?
