I'm very new to Gimp. Just trying to print greetings cards, one image on to cardstock. I've managed to make the right sized empty page and have merged an image to it and saved it. Then managed to print it once via a different program. Almost ok but the image needs repositioning a bit. Tried to create a new one but the same image I used is opening up really small, I've checked and the scale dimensions are the same as I used previously. Is there some setting I may have changed without realising? I've closed gimp down and reopened but still having the same problem

Can't do a simple erase. Bottom dialogue indicates the "active layer's pixels are locked".
Confusion finding adjustments, specially with my interface having gone Berzerk it seems.

So can someone please help wich ever first:

1. Reset the interface for a fresh start so i find tools easy. Re-install not fixing anything.
2- Set my eraser free...make it erase again.

Thanks

Hi, I am using the last AppImage with Plugins from here

https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-appimage

Looks like the maintainer no longer releases new versions.

Is there any other source for latest 2.10 AppImages with plugins and G'MIC support?

Looked through preferences and searched the forum for "auto-save" & "xcf" and came up dry, but basically wondering if wheb saving an image file *to jpg, png, et al.) is there an option to also automatically save the file as .xcf in a user designated folder?

I think I'm gonna get a no, but just in case I'll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks in advance

it's been so long since I visited this forum.
Just wanted to share this here if anyone has slow code due to having to walk along a path.
That's all for now, cheers.

Hi, I have an image, I am trying to make it look like the lock screen blur image.

I tried adding Gaussian blur to the image as well as a white layer over it. But both seem to give bad results. Any tips will be great. Thanks.

Please redirect thread if in wrong place. Trying to find thread or instructions about the GIMP plug ins and how to use them.

i just began using Silverfast scanner software with my old Nikon Coolscan and i'm getting this message when i open newly-scanned slides for the first time:

TIFF IMAGE MESSAGE unknown field with tag 35243 (o689ab) encountered message repeated 9 times.

there's no problem, i'm just wondering what this error message means. can anyone enlighten me?

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a way to rotate (or shear?) single letters of a text I have rotated, but I can't find a way. The idea is to have "straight" letters even if the text has been rotated. 

I attach a picture to clarify (this is the final effect I want to achieve). Do you see how the "vertical" lines of letters (like i,l,t ecc) are still parallel to the border of the image, even if the text itself is rotated?

Thanks a lot!
EW

Is it possible to draw on/use the the negative layer side in gimp  (-X, -Y) or the middle of the drawing in X 0, Y 0 ?
