Hello wonderfull person,


When I use any "selective tool" (lacet; square; etc) and I want to add more selection, I can't add it to my previous selection (event while using "shift")...  It really problematic (time consuming) because I have to do one selection at a time, extract it and do it again with the next selection....

HELP!!!!

Thanks in advance!!!!

Hi,

When I use the "fill tool" on a area: Inside the area, some pixs are missing and outside, some pixs appear. I probably did something without knowing it. It use to be fine but now, I'm unable to go back the way it should be.

I need help plaese!!!!!!

Thanks in advance!!!!

Though I found previously this subject in forums, the problem doesn't seem to have the same origin.

I have only this message (and the crash) with the pictures I downloaded from icloud today, even with the lightest (test with 96k).
I can open some oldest coming (previously) from icloud and the same iphone with 7.8 Mo.
I have opened this "today's" pictures with "Photos" and tried to register it; but then, same crash with Gimp.

These pictures are on the same disk.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Gimp 2.10.32.

When I run one of my plug-ins which uses GEGL from the terminal I get the following error messages and many more:

/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/python/gimpfu.py:865: Warning: Two different plugins tried to register 'GeglOpjpg-save_c'.

I am assuming that when I updated to GIMP 2.10.32 from the PandaJim repository it has loaded a new version of GEGL.

How do I solve this problem?

I am using Ubuntu 20.04

Using a select tool comes with four options for adjusting your selection: replace with, add to, subtract from, & intersect with current selection.  The last 3 can be activated by holding down Shift, Ctrl, & Ctrl + Shift, respectively, or you can click their icon to make them active without holding a key down.  Is there a hotkey that can do the same thing as clicking the icons?  I looked in the hotkeys menu & found some possibilities, but after assigning keys to them & trying them out, I found they did not work as intended.

I just finished working with my 6th layer, and now I see that I need to go back to my 4th and 5th layers and adjust them. How do I toggle back and forth among layers?

Hello,

I would like to deform one layer according to the information in another layer.
For example:

I have a photo of a lake, that I want t deform, and a photo of a face in an other layer that I want to use as the shape.
Now I want the water in the lake to be deformed in the shape of the face. Similar effect like using the warp tool but according to the shape in the other layer.

or

I have a photo and in another layer an image of crumbled paper. I want to "crumple" the photo according to the paper layer. Not just combine the layers somehow, but really deform the photo layer, so that it actually looks like crumbled.

I haven't found anything in google, but this might be because I am not able to express the right question...

Is there a tool, a filter, a script... that can do that?

Thanks for your help!

I've just installed 2.10.32 on 64-bit Win10.

I normally export as TIFF. The new version provides BigTIFF format. However, I don't want to use this as nothing (inc. GIMP itself) seems to understand the resulting files. Similarly, I do not want to use the "Save Layers" option that was also present in earlier versions as that results in files that I cannot view or even delete.

If I uncheck these options, that choice only survives the current session. When I re-open GIMP, I have to remember to uncheck these options. This is a pain.

Is there any way to make my preferences pemanent?

I recall reading discussions on converting text to single stroke paths, most likely years ago, and cannot seem to find the discussion. Or perhaps I was dreaming it was possible and woke up and thought it was real. I am aware that text can be created to single stroke paths, and you can even buy such fonts, but...I seriously thought Ofnuts had already created this plugin. Getting old sucks, some days...

I recently read a tutorial where the procedure involved first converting an image to 32 bit floating point (FP) precision.  It now occurs to me that this might be wise/appropriate as a general rule.  In that, convert all images to 32 bit FP for the purpose of editing.  Do the conversion before anything else.  Then at the end of the editing pipeline the image can be converted to whatever precision is desired for the final product.

I have started experimenting with this idea but can NOT yet say I have much knowledge about the pros and cons.  However, I'm sort of guessing that one consequence of storing GIMP files (i.e., .xcf format) in 32 bit precision is that they will be larger (maybe a lot larger).  However, even if GIMP files are stored after performing editing operations in a lower precision format it might still make sense to perform edits in 32 bit FP precision.  Absent any real knowledge or experience I'd be thinking the benefit would be greater precision (? computational dynamic range) is the results.

Would love to here what real experts might have to say about such an approach.
