  choosing between different ways - which is the most appropiate here...
Posted by: saint_m - 08-06-2026, 07:35 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

hello and good day dear Community  Smile


well here i am back again - with some hmmm - lets say "beginner-question"... -


i need to colorize some dots in a file  (in a network visualization) using GIMP as the tool

well how to start: 


see the attached image:  would you do this with the  Bucket Fill approach or (alternatively) with the Colorize layer.

Wel to be frank with the second idea -( and method ) is not so familiar:  I honestly do not have so much experience with the work with layers. 
Guess that this method isolates specific nodes without altering the background or connecting... 

Which method would you suggest - for me - who is a bit unsecure in the work with layers... 



   

look forward to hear from you

regards  Smile

  Scanning with Gimp on Windows 11
Posted by: andrewld - 08-06-2026, 11:09 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Can I scan from Gimp on Windows 11 using a Plustek Opticfilm 8100? I see there is a plugin called twain.exe in the plugins folder but Ceate> Camera/Scanner only offers the WIA interface. If I select it nothing happens. I am totally unfamiliar with Windows, being a lifelong Linux user.

  Enlever un reflet de flash sur photo macro
Posted by: Johannfrck - 08-04-2026, 10:31 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

Bonjour,

Je suis bloqué sur un problème de réflexion de flash sur l'insecte que j'ai pris en photo de nuit. Y'a t il un moyen d'adoucir ce reflet ?

J'ai essayer avec l'outil sélection sans pour autant réussir à ne sélectionner uniquement la partie souhaiter. 

Les tutos que j'ai pu chercher ne donne pas la marche à suivre spécifique pour mon problème 

Le premier screenshot vous montre la photo retouché avec les connaissances que j'ai (je n'ai pas pu faire mieux) et le second screenshot montre la photo originale.

J'utilise la version 3.2.4 de GIMP sous windows 10.

Merci pour votre aide

English : 

Hello,

I'm stuck on a problem with a flash reflection on the insect I photographed at night. Is there a way to soften this reflection?

I tried using the selection tool but wasn't able to select just the part I wanted. 

The tutorials I’ve found don’t provide specific instructions for my problem.

The first screenshot shows the photo I’ve edited using what I know (I couldn’t do any better), and the second screenshot shows the original photo.

I’m using GIMP version 3.2.4 on Windows 10.

Thank you for your help

i am currently musing bout ways methods and procedures to recolor a image - ideas & tipps n tricks

  Multiple Font Issues etc.
Posted by: Joe - 08-01-2026, 05:39 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

   
As much as I enjoy using the Gimp program; version 3.2.4, Windows PC – it has some very strange situations built in that I have never experienced when using other graphics editors.

The first one, I am unsure of how to describe. When creating layers containing fonts – Gimp often assigns them and creates new locked font layers that even affect surrounding (above and below) layers within the image? Gimp locks the layers and does not allow them to be edited or modified beyond font layers? This has drained substantially large amounts of my time; erasing layers and adding new layers trying to correct this issue.

One more recent discovery is when I created a layer with a font. I applied a shadow to that layer. After the shadow is applied – it extended below the desired area. I assumed that the shadow on that layer could be edited – it cannot. Using the free select or the rectangular select tool cannot affect the shadow. Funny thing – I can cut part of the font ONLY on that layer – but not the shadow. Is there a method that Gimp could be set to apply the shadow to a separate/adjacent layer and edited without being directly linked to the font layer?

Another recent more startling development and much more concerning – Gimp (how - I cannot explain) began to apply a pattern to my fonts instead of a color. No matter what I did – I could not terminate this activity. Closed and re-opened the program, created a new image, etc. After trying many unsuccessful internet suggestions - I actually had to uninstall Gimp to correct this issue.

P.S. Is there a reason that Gimp does not include a shapes menu?

For your consideration – I thank you.
