  Can Gimp include the path info in some image format?
Posted by: mrkid - 09-07-2025, 12:37 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi! I read somewhere that tiff, and jpeg2000 can include the mask paths info in the file itself. Im working in scribus and looking the way to make the wrap around images the more easier possible. This would be a great thing, but appear that Gimp cant do that, but not sure if is possible in v3.

Posted by: mholder - 09-06-2025, 02:32 PM - Forum: Linux and other Unixen - Replies (8)

I have both Flatpak Gimp ver 3.0.4 and G'mic Flatpak. I am not seeing G'mic in filters-> anymore.

My list of Flakpak programs has G'mic there, and it is updated.

Also, the Flatpak Resynthesizer is also missing.

Any idea why?

  How can I install Gimp 2.8 on Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.1?
Posted by: GIMP Devil - 09-06-2025, 12:01 AM - Forum: Older Gimp versions (2.8, 2.6....) - Replies (7)

Hello, I'm thinking of switching back to Gimp 2.8 like I did on Windows 7 and it worked like a charm, but the new Gimp 2.10 I got on Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.1 Software Manager seems to have some functionalities like indexed mode I was really use to completely broken.

Is there a way I can download Gimp 2.8 on Linux Mint? I didn't see it in the Software Manager there was only 2.10 and I assume an even newer version..
I do have the installer for Gimp 2.8 I used on Windows 7 which probably can be run with Wine, but I would prefer not to do that because from my experience it seems everything that's run with Wine on Linux seems a lot laggier and choppier than it was on Windows 7 which is not good for when I want to draw...

If there's an AppImage of Gimp 2.8 I would prefer that because those are convenient and have everything they need to run, I looked on the official Gimp site and it said it had a download for 2.8, but it would always redirect me to Gimp 2.10 on the Software Manager so I assume it's not on the official site.

  Setting images to indexed mode on Gimp 2.10 is completely broken.
Posted by: GIMP Devil - 09-05-2025, 11:55 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I really need help this is really stressing and frustrating me.

I have been on Windows 7 for the longest time and using Gimp 2.8 with no hassle and it was very easy and comfortable, I now recently "upgraded" to Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.1 and installed Gimp 2.10.36 from the Software Manager on it.

Now I like drawing sprite art on a transparent background and when it's done I index the sprite art because it makes it to a very small filesize which makes me happy, on Windows 7 Gimp 2.8 this was super easy I would just select the indexed mode and apply it and bam it would index the image with no issue at all.


Now on Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.1 and Gimp 2.10 (I don't know if Linux is causing this problem or Gimp is) when I try to index an image with transparency it completely messes up the saved image!

This is just an example of an indexed image I happen to have it's of a Charizard sprite, as you can see the original indexed image from Gimp 2.8 on Win7 is completely fine and has its transparency and is a super low filesize.
[attachment=13873]

Now when I open that image in Gimp 2.10 and do absolutely no changes except export it as a new image look at what happens to it!
[attachment=13874]


Now here's the weird thing, if I add a solid color background (like white for example) to the original image then export it the colors don't get corrupted, but the filesize is still massive! [attachment=13875]
I'm at a loss for what to do.. did gimp 2.10 just completely break indexed mode or maybe it's the version of gimp on the Linux Mint Software Manager?

Somebody please help Sad

Plus, gimp become unstable, and even it delet some portions of the canvas until i shut it and restart. No problem with other fx, at least im aware. Im on windows 10. I will try to see if this happen in linux.

  Create Variants of the Project
Posted by: AlterPhoto_free_photo_editor - 09-05-2025, 11:25 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Is it possible in GIMP to create variants (versions) of the project? Sometimes it is not convenient to have several files for one project.

  Help with PNG second layer?
Posted by: allin424 - 09-05-2025, 04:33 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I am fairly new and basic to GIMP, I have used SVG files in the past and cut out vinly signs and graphics with GIMP.

I have a PNG file that I paid for from a digital artist. I uploaded the file using upload as layers and changed the embedded sRGB IEC61966-2.1 to the one GIMP suggested. I selected all and added the alpha channel. From here, I thought I would be able to size the image, duplicate and crop the two new images, save and export them to my sublimation printer.

Behind the image is a transparent layer and when I move the main image- it only moves within the transparent layer. When I try to delete the checkered layer- the main image deletes.
   
   

I was able to crop the image to selection, as shown but you can see the layer still and my image will "disappear" if I move it off the page.
   

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I have 30 more of these images to print. If you need any more info, just let me know.

Thanks, Alli
