Ubuntu 20.04
GIMP 2.10.34-1build6-ubuntu2004(focal)

Today when I came to use GIMP it did not load. It is the version originally obtained from the PandaJim PPA and I had python 2.7 support which meant all my usual plug-ins worked.

I tried to start it from the terminal and got:

gimp: error while loading shared libraries: libmypaint-1.5.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I searched in Synaptic for libmypaint-1.5.so.1, but no such file was found.

Any advice will be gratefully received as to how to fault-find this problem.

I absolutely HATE how the various tool icons are shown in the side bar in v2.10. The almost disappear into the background and they're so small I can barely see them. IS there any way to return to the way the tool icons used to be?

Hi Folks,

GIMP newbie using version 2.8 on 32-bit W7 laptop, just as a hobby, not professional.
Considering buying W11 laptop, and the 'asus zenbook pro duo 15' caught my eye:

https://www.costco.com/asus-15.6-zenbook...31583.html

The 'screenpad plus' feature on the 2nd display supposedly works with Adobe p-shop, etc. Will it also work with GIMP? If not Windows, maybe Linux?

Sorry if this is not posted to the correct forum. TIA for your time.

Hi Guys,
I have spent considerable time using the Pencil tool drawing lines on a Layer. I then moved to the base Layer, used Free Select tool and Bucket Filled the selection. I can no longer get the Pencil to draw visible lines. Is this fixable? Many thanks, farmalama.

How can I replace a featureless sky with a cloudy one?
Does anyone have a procedure that works?
Is there a plugin for sky swapping?


I've tried the instructions at https://www.mrvicaphotography.com/how-to...-gimp.html .
I claim they don't work.  E.g., selection with the Fuzzy Tool is deranged.  Selection with "by Color" selects on the wrong layer.

Good morning everyone. I am trying to create a seamless diamond checker pattern. I want to create a PNG file for my laser engraver and apply a diamond checkerboard pattern for engraving wood. I know how to create a checkerboard pattern, I can figure out how to make the rectangles into diamond shapes and I'm not seeming much online either. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm speaking about the nodes on a path, actually I need to select multiple nodes I want to move one by one
Select first one > Shift Select next > Shift Select next > Shift Select next > Shift Select next > Shift Select next > Shift Select next > Shift Select next........ that get quickly very very annoying

I would like to know if there is something like make a selection, and just run the script and nodes inside the selection are selected

Hi all,

I've used GIMP in the past and have re-installed it to use it for creating a single photo where i inserted 1 cut-out image (as a layer) onto another image. The smaller image i have cut out has these white lines around it, which i would just like to blend in with the surrounding colors. I'm not really interested in making a better cut out, because the image that is cut out is very complex in shape. I would really just want to 'brush' the white line away. Is such a thing possible? I tried making a selection and using the feather tool, but this only makes the white marginally darker. I really just wanna extend the surrounding color into the white line if possible, or whatever solution. The image will just be used for a thumbnail, so doesn't have to be razor sharp at all in these details. 

Thanks in advance!
