Hi everyone, I usually add text to images in gimp and often need it to be outlined (with a border of a different color), but it's quite boring everytime to write the text, select the layer, expand the selection, create another blank layer, fill with the other color the selection on this layer, and then merging those two layers into one
there are tons of plugins that do this process automatically, but there is always a problem: I can't edit the text after it has been outlined. 
so I was wondering... is there a plugin or something to add this feature to gimp? I think it would be really helpful and very easy to implement

Hi Everyone

I have just had my new version of Linux Mint 20.3 installed and in the process acquired Gimp 2.10.  Can anyone remind me what was on the bar at the top when you opened a pic in Gimp 2.8 which I had before. There was something called Script Fu, and to the left of that was another program that I used to use which I just cannot remember the name of. When you opened it up it had a list of options, one was Photos, click that and about three options opened, one offered two types of sharpening - intelligent sharpening was one of the two. I used to use this quite a lot and would like to see if I can get it for 2.10. I simply can't remember the heading that this option came under.  Getting old and not very technically minded! Any help would be really appreciated!

Just got me an All In One (Lenovo Yoga 9i running Windows 11) and am trying to get to where I can paint on the screen with the stylus, however wit doesn't seem to recognize when I put stylus to screen. I have tried to configure it as a Wacom tablet thing, but with no results, as well as from messing in the Lenovo Stylus settings. Is there a trick to getting GIMP to recognize stylus input on all in ones?

I am experiencing a problem I did not have with former editions of GIMP.  I am preparing historic tif maps  to use in a GIS programme.  The maps have been scanned as individual tiles and I want to edit the edges off them so that they will align when I construct the map in GIS.  With a former edition of GIMP this was never a problem, I imported the map as a tif, made the adjustments and exported it as a tif.  When I try to do this now I make all the changes and export the tif but none of the programmes on my computer recognise it.  They all come up with the message 'it appears we don't except this file format'.

I have this icon that I have downloaded:

Now I want to change the color of the bread to dark blue (#05192d).
In Photoshop I would just double click the layer and click "color" then select the color I wanted.
How can I do this using Gimp?

Hi everyone, When it comes to working with layers, the image editor I've been using for years has the background layer permanently 'locked' so that it can't be moved up and no layers can be moved below it. It doesn't seem that any of GIMP's lock layer options does this. Is there any way to achieve this in GIMP so that it avoids sending a layer to the bottom and then having to move it up one layer to be on the background.

Hi all, I've been meaning to create a new account for a long time - for various reasons, I've decided to abandon my old account(i think i posted once a long time ago). I've been using GIMP for awhile now, It Really Is Great! Anyway, I was planning to post about something else, but stuff keeps getting in the way and it's not done yet, so I thought, since we are on the verge of the End Of The World As We Know It, I'd just like to share a Logo that I made today. I thought it might save people some time.

If anyone can point me to a print on demand that Is FAST, i would appreciate it!

Anyway, here is the gallery(with different sizes): https://imgbox.com/g/RzXw0ZVzrP

and here's the proof i did it in GIMP:

I tried to make it as big as possible and still upload:

Stand With Ukraine!

    I made the attached picture in gimp with 2 clicks with some portrait option, but now i can not find it.

I've installed and configured gimp dozens of times over the past couple years. (fresh, new installs on blank media, not "re-installs")

I've found it to be a real time saver to just copy the gimprc and sessionrc files from an existing install that I'm already happy with, and paste them into the */.config/gimp/2.10 directory on the new installation.   Works quite well. Makes the new install just the way I like it

However. I'm not finding a file that contains the start up defaults for:  Which tool is selected  on start up, which brush is selected on start up, and which pattern is selected on start up.  Easy to change by just making the desired selections and then closing gimp....but I'm just curious which file that info is recorded into as gimp is shut down?

Hi,
How do I turn on menu that will fill my entire left pane ?
I keep see'ing it with lots of options, and icons - in youtube videos. 
But I am missing that. I can't find documentation on this - in Gimp 2.10.30's menu.
I'm on Windows 10.
I even tried to uninstall and reinstalled the latest version.

Best wishes for St. Patrick's day!!
