Hello, I have a couple newbie questions about saving files:

1. When I try to save a file (hoping to save as .jpg or .gif), those file formats don't seem to be available. Is there a way to get them?
2. I did find the "Export As" command,which does list .jpg and .gif file types (as well as many others). This will work, albeit a little slower, but to reduce disk space usage I am lowering the Quality setting to 50%. I see I can save this setting as a default, and then recall the Saved Setting each time I export (save). Is there a way to automatically select my saved setting as a default to avoid having to go through the "Load Save Settings" step each time?

I also have a question about how to save time when performing the same steps over lots of images.  Does GIMP have something like a "macro" capability where I can save a series of steps and have them all automatically applied with the click of a button? I looked into the "Templates" feature, but that doesn't seem quite right because it doesn't appear to offer all the full set of menu options. 


TIA

Is there a way to add text in a panel under a photo.
ie list the names of people in a family photo. Top Row, Bottom Row

I'm still using version 10 (I like it!), but I've been working on a file that's 8100x5400 and suddenly everything is frozen. I've worked on many files this size (and bigger) before with no problems. I can't save, delete, x out of windows, etc. Computer is fine otherwise. Any ideas?

Hi all,

I'm trying to make a custom livery for the LMU game.  It requires 2 TGA files (customskin.tga and costumskin_region.tga).
My problem is that the parts of the car I coloured red in GIMP are shown in black in the game.
I already found out that I have to make some changes in the region file but can't find what I exactly have to do. 

So any advice is welcome.

Hi! Im working with a book, and each chapter has a name, "Chapter 01, chapter 02...chapter 11" etc. But Gimp open dialog, when i sort by the folder name columns, sort it the 10,11,12, first, then 01, 02, etc
Any way to have a "normal" order. Iincluded an screenshot

Hi, this is the initial release of my python hexagonal grid plugin converted to the GIMP 3.0 API. The functionalities where also expanded, most notably with the sample sheet output, and a few bugs and calculations corrected.

By default, it creates an hexagonal grid, using a search algorithm for optimal rasterization. It can also output a sheet with multiple hexagonal grid samples, selected by quality, in a nice tabular format.

Requirements:
GIMP 3.0 (and probably later)

Intallation:
Extract the .zip file and place the pl_hexgrid folder inside your user profile's Plug-ins folder.
You can find the plugin at Filters > Render > Pattern

Excerpt from the readme:

Quote:This GIMP plugin aims to draw regular hexagonal grids that fit the pixel grid as perfectly as possible, avoiding some common artefact like blurred vertical or horizontal lines. This optimisation also ensures that each hexagon is exactly the same and symmetrical.

As no perfect fit exists between a square grid (pixels) and an hexagonal one, hexagons' proportions are slightly stretched. The amount of deformation depends on their size. The working size factor of the plugin is the apothem, i.e. the distance between the center and the middle of a face. The user interface presents a more understandable "width" parameter, a measure of the distance between two faces.

The font color for "File, Edit, View, etc." changes from white to black and I don't know how to change it back?

Hello,

since a while I've been using the (I think very good) script "https://github.com/FrancoisMalan/DivideScannedImages"

But one thing isn't optimal for me in Batch-Mode: all the picture that were processed get the name "Crop..." with a number.
It would be more useful to have (also) the original file name in the output name.

In Batchmode there already exists the variable "filename", but when I put it in in the line with the output

Here's the situation: 

1. I edit a jpg image from my camera, add a layer or two and complete other edits, then export as another jpg. 
2. When I open the jpg, either to preview it in windows or load it into Gimp, it takes noticably longer to load and render.
3. The image initally shows but is out of focus, then seems to load the second layer and appear sharp.


Does the jpg format maintain the two layers?

How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance.

i have wide feet, the only wide that fits me is new balance extra wide. but recently, i have noticed new balance extra wide doesn't fit me. what i am trying to figure out is if they made their shoes more narrow, or if i have some kind of a medical condition causing my feet to get bigger. in the picture below, I am trying to compare the width of the new shoes with the old ones. but i dont know how to do it in gimp. i know the measure tool exists, but i dont know how to point it in the right spot, and i dont know if i am drawing a straight line.
