I want to print two 5 x 7 pics on 8.5 x 11 paper but oriented so that the pics are side by side. 7 inches along the 8.5 dimension and two 5 inches, total 10 inches, along the 11 inch dimension. Can Gimp do this? I'm having trouble figuring this out. If Gimp can't do this what other software would be good at this? 
Thanks.

(Of course I could just get 5 x 7 paper but I want to make use of my 8.5 x 11 paper.)

Perhaps it's a hint for me to try Python-fu. I've confirmed that the attached script works in Gimp 2.10.
The output of BIMP, though, is an unchanged image.
Am I missing something basic about BIMP?

(define (make-vignette color size opacity img)
 
  (let* ((width (car (gimp-image-width img)))
         (height (car (gimp-image-height img)))
;         (layer (car (gimp-layer-new img width height 0 "vignette" 100 NORMAL-MODE)))
         )

    (gimp-context-push)
    (gimp-image-undo-group-start img)

    (gimp-image-select-ellipse img 0 65 50 (/ width 1.3) (/ height 1.3))
    (gimp-selection-feather img size)
    (gimp-selection-invert img)
    ;(gimp-layer-set-opacity layer opacity)
    ;(gimp-layer-add-mask layer (car (gimp-layer-create-mask layer ADD-MASK-SELECTION)))
    ;(gimp-image-select-ellipse img 0 0 0 width height)
    ;(gimp-selection-clear img)
    ;(gimp-context-set-foreground '(0 255 0))
    (gimp-context-set-background color)
    ;(gimp-image-insert-layer img layer 0 -1)
    ;(gimp-drawable-edit-fill layer FILL-FOREGROUND)  
    (gimp-drawable-edit-fill img FILL-BACKGROUND)
    (gimp-selection-none img)
    (gimp-image-undo-group-end img)
    ;(gimp-displays-flush)

    (gimp-context-pop)
     
  )
)

(script-fu-register
  "make-vignette"
  "Colored Vignette"
  "Create colored vignette for the image"
  "Robert Knox"
  ""
  "April 2022"

  SF-COLOR "Color" "#222255"

Hello good people of this wonderful forum,

I have been using gimp for many years with just a mouse and keyboard but recently got a Huion tablet to help me paint.

Since plugging it in and messing with the paintbrush tool I have realized I don't really understand the settings of the paintbrush tool. Using the tablet has changed my paintbrush settings and I do not know how to return them to what I am used to using.

When I draw a line with the paintbrush, with the mouse or the tablet I get a line that is broken up and the size of the line changes depending on the speed I move.

I know this is probably a simple fix, but can anyone help me please?

thank you

Andrew

I tried to install Resynthesizer Plugin, however when I went to Filters/enhance all the tools are greyed out.
Does it work in GIMP 2.10.30? I vaguely remember reading somewhere that it doesn't! If that is true what
would be the last version of GIMP where it works?

I followed the instructions from this video to install it.

Any feedback would be gratefully received.
Thanks

Gimp 2.10.30 on windows 10 64bit. When adjusting an image and resizing it and scaling it from 300dpi to 72dpi Gimp freezes, grays out and says "no longer responding".  I have to close Gimp to continue and of course lose everything that hasn't been saved. Thanks for any help in fixing this glitch. Love my Gimp! Been using it for can't remember when!

I'm trying pack 3 grayscale textures in a RGB file, one texture for channel.
None of the tutorials and docs that I find works...

How can I paste grayscale data in a selected channel?

Is it possible at all in Gimp?


* Edited with a solution

Solution:

1- Uninstall Gimp 
2- Install Krita

I have hid all layers and still there is something visible.. what is that ?  why is it visible ? 
I have drawn the cloud like thing with path tool.. but somehow it is not added into layer.. why ?
Appreciate if somehow point out the problem.
Thanks

I am using GIMP 2.10 on a Macbook Pro OSX 12.3.1. When I try to export a 16 bit XCF file as a 16 bit BMP R5G6R5 file, I wind uo with an 8 bit BMP file.

What am I doing wrong?
I have a pic.
I want to put some text on it.

I import the pic.
I make a duplicate layer.
I hide the original layer.  (this is my attempt to keep my original untouched)
Then I write with the text tool and this automatically creates a 'text layer'  right?
then I try to move the text around or the text layer around or something to get the text where I want it.
But the underneath layer moves instead.  That's the duplicate layer.
I make sure the text layer is selected and it seems it is.
?

Hi,

I have created a semi-transparent glass "texture" (see attached image) in Gimp 2.10 which is just a single color. I filled the layer mask with 34 (dark grey) and applied it but Gimp outputs the alpha value as 4.

I have opened the image in Photos (the Windows app), which has a background color of #222222. If I put another layer behind the glass texture in Gimp, fill it with #222222 and merge the layers, I get (45, 48, 48). In Photos, the color is (36, 37, 37) and Adobe Photoshop gives me (37, 37, 37).

What is going on?
