At the core of this question is curiosity why the anti-alias function for lines drawn with gimp, is so much more robust than the anti-alias function available via Filters>Enhance>Anti-alias.....just didn't want that to get lost in the following details.

In the following sketch (magnified 8X)  are two pairs of lines. The black lines are drawn by stroking two paths, each in line mode, with anti-aliasing enabled. The pairs of black lines are identical in both the "before" as well as "after" frames.


The blue lines, drawn for comparison, in the "before" frame ...the same two paths are stroked, but with anti-aliasing disabled. Then in the "after" frame,  anti-aliasing has been added via the Filters>Enhance>AA function.

Notice the difference in the broad range of transparency used on the straight black line, compared to it's blue counterpart. Same for the curved parts of the other line.

AM I NOT doing something properly, or is there just this much difference in the way Gimp delivers anti-aliasing? (filter vs built in functionality)   FWIW, drawing with a pen seems to likewise offer superior AA, compared to that provided by the enhance filter, 


Additional curiosity, but the enhance filter (Anti-Alias) seems to only work for me when the target line is drawn on a  solid background. If/when the target line is drawn on an otherwise transparent layer, then the Enhance>Anti-Alias function seems to contribute nothing to the line.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts

 Greetings....
I have been using Gimp for awhile and have several photo files saved in the program.  However today I can only open a few of the files, the rest are no longer visible.  When I select 'open' file at the bottom it shows Select File Type (Automatically Detected).  It won't let me select 'Show All Files'. 

 
I would appreciate some assistance.

While searching another topic on this forum, I came across some posts where an observer mentioned that "not all browsers" were capable of  properly displaying gifs where long frame delays had been employed. They recommended doubling-up frames with a shorter interval, to achieve the same effect.

This was news to me.  So, I made a test gif where 1700 ms was specified for each frame. And, it seems to run fine for me (at least locally)  on Chrome, Firefox, and Konqueror.....making me curious as to which browsers are incompatible.

On the following graphic, there should be a succession of 4 identically sized squares, each in a different color, with a 1.7 second pause between each transition in color.   Is there anyone who this is not working for? And what browser are you using? (curious)

Gimp will not manipulate imported pictures. Warming - (No selection to move)

Hello, 
how I can get this texture in gimp without a draw tablet?

Never had that problem, but then nothing of mine in a gallery.

Hi everybody :
   I'm still learning GIMP.  How do I COPY a selection from one picture, and PASTE that selection into the selecvted area of my "main" picture ?

Attached is an admittedly bad scan of sheet music.  It is not being recognized by my piano notation software.

I'm familiar with Colors > Curves to clean up sheet music, but it is not working on this photo.

I saw Despeckle, but the only effect it seems to have is to make things worse.

I wish I could just capture a sample of the bad section, say "this is the pattern", and get rid of it.

Thanks
