Hello all,
I've just upgraded from version 2.10 (.10 as I recall) to 2.10.32 Flatpak on Linux Mint.  Whatever the previous .xx version was, I had an eyedropper in the toolbox' Foreground Color's Change Foreground Color dialog (same also with the background color) that was supposed to let me click on the eyedropper and click on any color on the screen. 

To get to the eyedropper in question, click on either the Foreground color or the Background color.  Up comes the appropriate Change Color dialog with a palette of colors to choose from, together with the HTML color code (hexadecimal 6-digit code representing RRGGBB).  The eyedropper has a pop-up explanation to "Click the eyedropper, then click any color on your screen to select that color."

I happen to have a Pencil tool selected.  I've opened the Change Foreground Color dialog, clicked on the eyedropper, then clicked on the white part of the U-Haul truck to select that color.  (I want the truck's branding to disappear from my photo of a camping activity, as it adds clutter behind the subjects of my photo.)  The Pencil drops a circle of pink where the eyedropper was to select the white shade.

Better that I exit from the Change Color dialog and use the Color Picker tool.  That works.

The same issue exists in the 2.10.32 version just installed.

Can anybody tell me how one uses the eyedropper in the Change Foreground Color dialog?  It is redundant in a way to the Color Picker tool, but it would be useful while in the Change Color dialogs if it worked!

Hi there, I keep getting a "unknown file type" message when trying to open a FITS file. Some files are from my camera and some are from the internet. Most are 12 bit or higher. Take care. EDIT: Actually, GIMP will not open any picture file, .jpg, .png, ect, has the same error message. Wonder if I need to re-install GIMP.

When I select a layer to move with the mouse. And when I left click with the mouse it selects my base layer. I can't move the layer I wish to. If I select a different layer to move, its switch's again to my base. Can you help? New to Gimp and editing software.

Thanks, Nash

Hi, 

I need someone to work on a script to read a CSV and create images.

So Read CSV, open PSD file on GIMP (is possible?) and create some images (different sizes) based on template.

This is a paid gig, let me know if someone is interested.

AAAHHHH!!!!  I had to restart my computer to fix an issue it was having, so I saved my image I've been working on in GIMP (2.8.22), then restarted my computer. But when I opened my saved image to work on it some more, I found it super pixel-y!!! How do I get it back to how it was (only pixel-y at 400% zoom!)??

   

Hello. Trying to compile old Gimp (2.6) leads to this error message:

When I try to add a gradient to the text by selecting it using " Select by colour" or " Magic wand tool ", I get distorted effect like this. Not sure what is the best way to select the text without these burrs at the edges

It is far from smooth in most cases

Looks like Osaka has been stealing ideas

I'm able to bend text along a path, but i would like to manipulate the text and bend it in different directions. I'm not sure if i'm using the correct terminology, but below is what i would like to do. Please Help!!





 

It looks like you don’t have to install python support with Gimp 2.10.xx. So I’m guessing python support is bundled with the gimp binary installers. If so what gimp version was that introduced.
