Someone who knows the logic / systematics for when GIMP color the entire images (i.e. all layers) and when it is only the active layer? (with tools like "pencil"
For me it's a matter of luck. So once in a while I'm lucky: That is-  if I only want to color within an active layer, then it is also what happens
But.... I'd like to be able to be in control of the situation myself ;

Hi, I'm a gimp novice & would appreciate some help.  I have 2 photos: a nice portrait with a poor background & a photo with a lovely lighthouse & bay at dusk.  Using intelliigent sissors I've clipped the person's portrait in first photo & have it as a layer w/checkerboard background.   I have the background photo as a layer & then position the portrait into the photo w/lighthouse background.    The background photo has the flashing dotted lines of the portrait silhouette but image isn't completely visible only the very bottom of the portrait which I moved to get the lighthouse into view, even when I "chain" them together.  The portrait & the background are  where I want them but cant seem to get the entire portrait to become visible.   Could someone please suggest a solution as this is my first time gimping or perhaps order of ops from the beginning. Please be overly explicit in explaining.  Thank you!!

I am using GIMP 2.10.32 and Windows 11 22h2 and have 2+ scanning questions

Does GIMP recognise 64 bit scanner drivers?
+   If it does not will this be added in 2.99 / 3.00?

How can I use scanners with the portable version of GIMP (Create>Scanner/Camera)?
+  Create>Scanner\Camera does not bring up the scanner selection box. Can I resolve this by running Regsvr32 against the relevant gimp-scanner dll, and if so which file do I want?

Thank you.  Archiel

Hi.  I need to change, correct, and update Metadata in bulk - by the thousands.  The data is stored in excel spreadsheets and don't know how to code.  Is there software or a tutorial on how to make this happen?  Thanks

HI folks:

I am building some game assets for a railroading game, and each one has a unique number on it in 2 different locations.  the number itself is random, is there a way to automate the process some how?

It takes about 30 seconds or so to create a livery (Its a bit tedious) and by the time this is done, I will have several hundred of them

Any suggestions?

Years ago, I used a version that had halftone ability to images. I know there is newsprint in the newer versions but, I remember how easy it was with the old version which, color seperated too. Or, at least, was similar to color seperations.
Is that version still avaiable or can someone send me the file for that version.
Thanks in advance, working on DIY t-shirt designs..

Hello

I just got lost. I have no idea how to change an image with text and different background colors to each color individually. Specifically, I want to change the colors in the attached image:

gray to black
red to black
black to white

I really have no idea how.

Please give me instructions.

I’m new to Mac, but I’ve been using GIMP for years.  Running into a snag with this computer.  When I go to install 2.10, it downloads, and then asks me to move it to applications.  But then when I try to open it, it says it is “not supported on this Mac”, and the icon is crossed out. Am I missing a step here, or is it really not compatible with this computer?  iOS Montgomery.

I got a new laptop and the ink dropper tool that shows the color, the box is so TINY i can barley see it. On my older laptop its bigger. How do I change the ink dropper tool so that i can see the color box bigger? Do I need new a different laptop?

Today i turned on Gimp, created a new document but i could no draw a line or erase  but i was able to create a square using Rectangle_selection & Bucket. Re-installed Gimp did not fix anything? A setting ?
Thanks
