				I'm trying to add a custom pattern however I cant locate GIMP on my drive  through the gimp application( File-->Export-->OS©-->users> 
(name)-->application Data(appdata roaming  is where gimp is stored when I search for gimp) once I click on this option the preview box on the right is empty. 
 
I cant save the custom pattern without finding Gimp ( I can search my computer and locate the file, however when I search through the gimp app while exporting to save in gimp I can not find it). 
 
Can anyone help? 
 
Im using windows 11 
Latest version of Gimp 2.0

				This FG/BG 
![[Image: 4nwMHjV.png]](https://i.imgur.com/4nwMHjV.png)  
It looks nice with my color, don't you think? 
 
More seriously ➤ We always speak about this "Tool", some call it FG/BG swatch, I call it FG/BG icon, others call it FG/BG button and we always try to "explain" what's this icon, its position on the UI, when it's a very-beginner we do need to write the full "ForeGround/BackGround (FG/BG)" what so ever... and yet it's not in the icon's tool list on GF... 
 
![[Image: xYp3Q28.png]](https://i.imgur.com/xYp3Q28.png)  
 
(Jeeez I love this direct screenshot to imgur from ksnip, and just Ctrl+V while writing > again thank you @Krikor   ),  
anyway, let's get back on track ➤ it would be nice if we can have this icon     
No need to try to explain to "click on the rectangle underneath the white square" (or vice-versa) or the double arrow or the tiny B&W square to reset it.... and let's face, it would be a nice add-on to the tool's icon list of GF      
 
PS: there is even the icon posterize, that nobody use it and not the FG/BG...

|   Unapply Alpha Channel |

				Hi everyone,  
 
I exported an image from a rendering software which had an option to 'apply alpha channel'. By mistake I enabled this option and later realized all my images had no sky background.  
 
While viewing the images in photos (Windows) I noticed the background would show for a split second before Photos applying the alpha...  
 
I opened the image in Gimp and when I unticked alpha channel, Voilà, the background was recovered. 
 
Problem is... I can't export it for some reason... when I save as PNG the background is back to transparent, and when I save as JPG it is all white... but that is not what I am seeing in my GIMP window...  
 
When I run Layer > Transparency > Remove Alpha Channel. I do get the white background preview.

				It's always a challenge to optimise skin colour. I find this video a good learning curve.    
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcFPJOLTFP0&t=465s 
I think you can find in gimp the same things as seen on this dashboard : Colours/Color Grading, Colours/Curves, Colours/Levels, layers, layer modes and I'm missing Vectorscape (I think).  
Nice to have such a dashboard. Just a dream...

|   'plug-in-resynthesizer' not found: Mac Monterey |

				I'm using GIMP 2.10.31 on MacOS Monterey.  I installed the resynthesizes plugin but get an error "'plug-in-resynthesizer' not found" when trying to heal an area.  I found a help article that directs users to create a new dynamic link: 
 
It turns out that the plugin uses a newer dynamic library than what I have on Catalina. In detail, both resynthesizer and resynthesizer_gui are linked against the dynamic library with the name  
 
 
 
, but on Catalina I only have the earlier version  
 
 
. Normally I get the opposite problem that software links against outdated older libraries, but in this case it seems to work to simply make a symbolic link to the existing library to pretend this is also a version 9 library. On my system I found  
 
 
 in directory  
 
 
. Thus, the command to establish that link is: 
 
 
 
Code: 
 cd /usr/local/lib 
ln -s libintl.8.dylib libintl.9.dylib 
  
After restarting Gimp and trying again it should work 
 
 
The problem is that I don't have /usr/local/lib on my Mac     I have /usr/lib but when running the last command I get an error "libintl.9.dylib: Operation not permitted" 
 
Any ideas how to fix this?   
 
TIA

|   Creating Multiple Copies of Image |

				Hi, 
 
I have a large image (roughly 10,000 pixels wide) that is intended to be a template. The idea is that you create your design over the top of it then turn off the template layer and export as JPG or PNG. 
 
On this large layer, I want to create multiple copies of a much smaller image (say 100 x 100 pixels). 
 
Is there any way to do this in GIMP? I have a feeling the Clone tool might be the way to go but don't seem to be able to get any useful result despite trying a few tutorials. 
 
(I've used GIMP for a while but don't regard myself as much more than a newbie so any advice would be welcome.) 
 
Kind wishes - Patrick

|   [bug report] Problem with saving raw pictures |

				This bug existed in a previous version of Gimp 2.10, and even after I updated to the latest version of Gimp 2.10 (version 2.10.32) the bug remained. 
 
Here's an explanation of the bug: 
When I load a 16bit grayscale raw image file (extension is .data) it correctly keeps the 16bit mode in the loaded file. However, when I then use export to again save the edited 16bit grayscale picture, again as a raw image, the output file is incorrectly converted to 8bit grayscale. The result is that I lose the 16bitness of the raw data output. It keeps the 16bitness if I save to a TIF file or PNG file, but not if I save back to a raw (file extension .data) image. Please fix this bug.
