Fractals made with Mandelbulber. All editing done with Gimp. REMBG used to remove backgrounds from Creative Commons licensed YouTube clips. Also used Python2 Gimp scripts, G'MIC and GEGL.

I am using Gimp 2.10.32 and have set my file export default type as jpg in Preferences/Image Import & Export but I still have to select from the image type list when using Export As.  How should I set the default type?

I'm trying to create an image with some script (Allura) text wrapped around a circle path.  When I select path to selection, then fill the selection, the text ends up with "holes" or "gaps" in it where some of the characters overlap.  I think I've figured out how to edit the path generated by "text along path" to eliminate the holes, but it's very tedious.  I'm trying to create an image to engrave on a wood platter I turned as a decoration for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, so I'm working against a short deadline. Can anyone give me any recommendations for a quick method to fill the holes?

Thanks,
Wes

I am very new to using GIMP and have a quick question:

I own an old digital camera I really like.  Unfortunately, it produces photographs with several “stuck” pixels.  These bright spots are consistently in the same locations and quite apparent.  I can use the “heal” tool brush to fix these stuck pixels, but I would like to automate that process.  

Q:  Is there a way to record a set of actions when using the “heal” tool brush?  If so, how?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Hello Gimpers!

What I would like is to be able to position the mouse pointer over a certain coordinate on the screen, click the right mouse button, then a menu would open and I could select the option to create a vertical and a horizontal guide at that exact point.


For example, with the Color Picker Tool (  )selected, when hovering over a desired point, I could click on that point and create an intersection between a horizontal and a vertical guide there.

I know it's possible to drag guides and position them manually. But I would like to speed up this step.

I have great plugins for positioning guides, but none meet my need.
   

Is this possible with Gimp?
Is there already a plugin/script that performs this function?

Thanks!

Hello all,

I'm still a beginner when it comes to GIMP, so I'm hoping that someone more experienced can give me easy to follow-instructions on how to solve this issue.

Recently I took a polaroid photo that got lost (probably just vanished in someone's pocket) and the person it was meant for got very sad. Luckily I took a picture of the polaroid with my digicam and now I'm trying to construct a "fake polaroid" by printing the picture out on shiny paper and glueing it to a real one.

The only problem is the reflection of myself holding the camera in the photo. I'm fairly sure it should be possible to make the "background" (=the photo) and the "foreground" (my reflection) the same color, but don't know which setting that would be. It should be doable since it's all black and white.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Some notes on installing Gimp 2.10.x in Ubuntu 22.04 (jammy)

The Ubuntu software centre will give you a snap version 2.10.28 - not a lot of use
The regular Gimp from the ubuntu repository (repo) is 2.10.30 which is ok, but stuck at the version.
This demo shows using an additional repo (PPA) 
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/+...buntu/gimp 
Go there and see how to install Gimp.

There is a glitch with this PPA, the latest libgegl is required. In terminal run

So I'm trying to make my own Minecraft resource pack using GIMP, and while i'm trying to use a size 2 pencil, i noticed that it's the same as a size 3, does anyone have a fix?

I am recreating the center of a pinball table. The problem I have is the blue area, I think the background itself is consistent (though it is hard to be sure,) but the squares pattern ranges from almost faded out light blue with small dots at the bottom to dark blue with mostly filled in dots at top. How would you handle something like that, a consistent overlay and some kind of mask?
