I'm running Gimp 2.10.30 on Windows 10 Home.

I haven't used GIMP very much the last couple of years but used to use it fairly regularly. I'm frustrated to find that I've forgotten something very basic: how do I get the full toolbox that used to come up when I created or edited an image?

If I go to Windows/Toolbox (or simply do a CTRL-B), I get a subset of the full set of tools but I don't get *all* of the tools the way I used to. If I hover over one of the tools in this partial toolbox, it will typically say that it is one of the members of a given family, e.g MyPaintBrushTool will indicate that it is a part of a group with the Pencil tool, the Paintbrush tool etc. but if I try to click on one of the other group members, like Pencil tool, the hover menu just disappears and I don't get the Pencil tool to come up.

Is there some way to get GIMP to display all of the tools in the toolbox, not just one member in each group, or, failing that, to select OTHER members of the group once I've clicked on another member in the same group in the (partial) tool bar?

Just to be clear, when I refer to the "full" toolbox, I'm referring to the one that you see in this short video:

Hi everyone, I’m trying to adjust several photos with Gimp (V2.10.22) to look like they have the same colouring.
I have several photos of the same piece of wood furniture, but the colour of the wood is a slightly different shade of brown in each photo.
I understand that the camera will take a different white balance reading each time a photo is taken, and this leads to colour variations between different photos. However, I’m not in a position to retake the photos with a fixed white balance, and so I need to edit the images to get them looking the same.

I’ve included three sample images to illustrate the problem (there are many other photos that I need to colour match too). You can see the colour difference between images 1 and 2.
Image 3 is edited, and the colours look the most like the actual wood colour. However, editing the other photos in the same way is not an option because it’s very difficult to get the colours looking the same by eye.

Is it possible in Gimp to take a colour profile/map/palette (I’m not sure of the correct terminology) from one photo, and apply it to the other photos so that they all have the same colouring?

Many thanks,

Andy_C

Hi there!

I've just figured out how to clear the palette history by deleting entries in the 'colorrc' file. I was wondering if there was any way to limit the amount of colors saved to something like 30 entries rather than 3K+?
I know I could clear it every now and then, but it does feel a little ham-fisted to edit the file every time.

I've been using gimp for years, and it's been a very reliable companion.

Thank you for your time!

When I use the bucket fill tool, a lot of the image where the bucket fill happened is still the original color. In the attached photo, you can see that in areas that I filled grey, there are still blue or yellow specks. How do I fix this?

Hi, I wanted to get an effect like the one you get with Elementor when adding a background layer to an image. The original image would be the one in the first photo, and the result I want to achieve is the one in the second photo.

All the best.

Hi folks!

I have a silly problem with gimp and linux bash.
I have a very simple gimp script that work well when called from a interactive shell.
I have a shell script that call the gimp script, so I have not typing all the gimp invocation.
The shell script call the gimp script: but gimp never exit and does not create files.
The same problem when I used "source" to execute the bash script directly in the interactive shell.
Have anyone a similar problem??

I send attached the two scripts and the output of the two forms of calling the gimp script, directly or with the bash script.

There are two differences: the message "batch command executed successfully" is show one or two times, and in the first case all work well and newfiles are generated, in the second I have to interrupt gimp (Ctrl-C) and no file is generated.

Any insight?
Thanks!

Hi,

Good to know > I never really used BIMP, I'm a xnconvert guy (it has curves as well), and use exclusively Linux.

Having said that, I'm trying to implement batch process in a company, although I have to use do it with Xnview/xnConvert, and could implement this in no time, I would like to do it with GIMP/BIMP... just to have one software workflow (and a good license).

So, I'm trying to install BIMP on a M$ windows 7 with GIMP 2.10.32, downloaded directly from there https://alessandrofrancesconi.it/projects/bimp/ this seems to not gonna to happen, it says it cannot find where GIMP is installed (can't do screenshot now, it's week-end), tried many things, like browsing folders via the installer, tried to put that exe thing in the plug-in as well, this does not work as re-starting GIMP did not put it in the File > Batch Image Manipulation in the menu , nothing-nada..
Any thoughts?
BTW this windoz 7 is not my computer, it a computer from a staff I'm training for a company, yes I got full rights on that windoz 7

Another problem I did some try with BIMP and curves > this time on my computer (it's a *buntu 20.04, and yes I did clean the curves history after that screenshot, "Threshold" was the more impressive to clean )
I saved a curve setting named test

   

then in BIMP > add another procedure > search for "curves" input "test",  

   

and as a result...
I got something from another world... I'm sure it's even from another galaxy, literally unusable image

   

What am I doing wrong?

Hi guys. I've seen some Photoshop masters of photo manipulation, like Benny productions for example, that use blend-if functionality to make the highlights blend better with the object. Here is an example in tutorial: https://youtu.be/2dpWkJeU7TM?t=370, and this is from Benny - https://youtu.be/yUPIChL7_x8?t=427. Is it possible to achieve this in GIMP? Maybe with Color to Alpha? I tried to do it like this:





With color to alpha applied to the first layer (also mask to selection to affect only the area of the highlights)but the results are not very good.

This is the source image in pexels. (I also decreased the temperature and exposure.)
