Every single time I cut an image in half and paste the half there's a small line of pixels removed.

I legit do not understand why this stupid-ass program is removing pixels that have been cut. PAINT doesn't do this.

This program is hot garbage. Cutting+pasting doesn't work. Colour select selects colours that ARE NOTHING ALIKE.

One of the brewers in my local pub supplies throwaway coasters. These have a cartoon of some sort on one side. This is todays offering and a clip from the text on the reverse side.

   

Now for the whinge, This computer, my old laptop, Installed kubuntu 22.04 (was 18.04) Curses on 'ubuntu, not everything working 100% The wireless scan into Gimp using xscanimage works. My preferred xsane works fine on its own but as a Gimp plugin, nothing. Such is life-in-linux.

I'm pretty sure there have been various items in the "GEGL Operation" window which are now missing in GIMP 2.10.32 ??
I haven't used GIMP that much over the last months but now i'm on holidays...
So...e.g. the GEGL gradient map isn't available anymore.
In 2.99 it is!
I'm on Windows 10.
See the attached screenshots.

In general drawing parallel lines following arbitrary shapes is complicated, so making good looking railroad tracks in fantasy maps is difficult. But with the help of the ofn-gradient-along-path script this becomes quite easy.

Create a gradient which is one half the track and where the left side is transparency:

   

   

   

   

Sorry I don't know how to ask this properly, but the background of the whole everything, before I even try to do everything, is black and it's really difficult for me to read. Is there a way to change it so the text and icons and stuff are black on white, instead?
Sorry if this is repetitious, but I didn't know the correct term to search for.

I've installed GIMP 2.99.12 in parallel to GIMP 2.10.32. Automagically the file associations changed to 2.99.
So doubleclicking on a XCF or JPG etc. opens 2.99.
A few years ago the installer had a window "Select file associations".
That's gone.


In the Windows settings for the Standard Apps the file types remain "GIMP 2.10.32".
The App is "GIMP" but you cannot see if it's 2.10 or 2.99.

I cannot change the file types (was possible in Windows-XP).

How can i repair the file associations so GIMP 2.10 is standard (as it was before the installing of GIMP 2.99) ?

It looks very unpolished but, whatever... I'm enjoying this type of Photoshop manipulation videos, and recently I'm trying to make something in the same spirit with GIMP.

I'd be thankful for some suggestions/feedback.

[attachment=8835][attachment=8835]Using version 2.10
I'm trying to produce a business card for a WWII veteran.
I have a photo of his medal that I masked off in After Effects that is currently 600x1500.  The original medal size was 2400x3000.
I downloaded a business card template and shrunk it down to fit but it looks terrible.
Then I opened both in Gimp and have not been able to figure out how to resize the 600x1500 medal to fit in the template.
There is also text; name, etc. that I used on the After Effects business card version which also looks terrible.
The After Effects forum suggested I can produce a better version in Gimp.



I would greatly appreciate any and all suggestions that will allow me to make this 98 year old Normandy veteran happy.
(by the way, I'm 74 and kind of technically challenged)

Thank you!

Hello,

maybe somebody can help me with this: I have non rectangular, polygonal pictures that I need to assemble - like a puzzle, each part roughly fits to the next one. Now what is the easiest way to align the parts for merging? Moving and rotating by hand is quite imprecise and takes a lot of time. Is there maybe a way to mark/use the corners that are supposed to align?

Thanks everybody.

Hi everyone,
i'm a long time user of GIMP.
But this i don't know:
How can i add a selection to an existing layer mask?
How can i subtract a selection from an existing layer mask?
Currently i make "Mask to Selection"
then i add or subtract a selection
then i delete the existing mask
and "Add Layer Mask..." with "Selection"

Second method:
Make an selection while editing the layer mask and bucket fill this selection with white or respectively black.

is there a shorter way such as "Add selection to existing mask" ?


Regards

Michael
