When I try to use a translucent image in GIMP, whether I lower the opacity in GIMP or imported a translucent image, there aren't any translucent pixels and it just ends up like this (image attached). I have an alpha channel and translucent images used to work fine on this exact file. I thought it was a bug, but after downgrading from 2.10.32 to 2.10.28, the problem persists. Can anyone figure out the problem?

I can only show you a screen shot to best describe why it will not work

If I run the following code in Fu console

Hello. I wanted to put a white background to this photograph (the first photo, original). But when I modify the levels to make the background completely white, I find that the white of the product itself blends into the background since the white of the product is even whiter than the background (second photo, modified). is there any way to fix this?
Best regards.

GIMP v.2.10.30 (on Win7 x 32 bit)

When running the file gimp-console-2.10.exe (in the default installation directory on Windows "C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin"), the console opens after about 10 s delay with the following error message:

I  don't know whether this is the right place to ask this question but if I don't ask I won't know.

I have colour photos to which I would like to apply a colorization effect to make them look like colourized black and white 50s post cards.

Does anyone know whether there is a filter or a special effect that would allow me to this in GIMP ?
or is the only way to achieve this would be to turn my colour photos into black and white and then colorize them by colour by colour?
this would be too time consuming considering I have to do this for about 50 photos!)

Impossible question with no possible answer?

Thank you in advance

           

I am using GIMP 2.10.24 on Windows 10 64bit.

Until recently I was using GIMP with images from a Nikon D500.  When exporting images I have the "Save Exif data and Save XMP data" checked.
I use these exported images to upload to iNaturalist.  I've never had an issue.
Now I am using a Canon EOS 5 to GIMP images. As above, when exporting images I have the "Save Exif data and Save XMP data" checked.
When I upload images from the Canon camera that have been GIMPed to iNaturalist, I get a "binary comment" on the images I've uploaded.  

If I look at Properties-Details on a GIMPed Canon Image, "binary comment" is listed in the Title and Subject.  When looking at the same image before it is GIMPed, there is nothing listed in Title and Subject.
Looking at original and GIMPed images from the Nikon camera nothing is ever listed in either Title or Subject .

Attached are some screen shots.

I have changed the following in GIMP - Edit-Preferences-Default Image-Comment to have nothing in it.  This made no difference.  Still get the "binary comment"

What is causing the "binary comment" ? It is tedious to have to delete it from every image I upload to iNaturalist.

If any other information is needed, let me know.
Thank you for your review.

Hello friendly people,

So I was using my Wacom tablet in GIMP 2.10 (Tablet model CTH-460 if that matters) and all the dynamics were working just fine until they just... suddenly weren't. There is a text box that says "Dynamics Off", but there's no drop down and right clicking on the field turns up nothing. I can't check or any of the boxes in the mapping matrix, and I can't manipulate any of the other options in the drop-down. I checked tool options in preferences, but nothing there seemed like it would help me out. I also tried updating to 2.10.32, but that didn't change anything either. Does anyone have any idea what might have happened?

Tl;dr: Tablet dynamics suddenly stopped working and refuse to turn back on. Wat do?

Im having real problems hear cutting the background out. Round his suite I cant split it from the background and round his head the background is showing in the hair (please see photo attached)

Cant seam to find any paid for art work forums out there, so I guess can someone recommend what tool would do this?
Thanks

Is there a way to grow a line/segment (one with curves) exponentially? Thus, sharp/pointed at one end and fat at the other?
