Hi there! After trying several things and searching the Internet, I decided to try my luck here

I have following issue: 
I created an artwork on the Procreate App on my Ipad, exported it as a PSD file, opened it on Gimp and saved it as a xcf file. Then I created a text layer in this xcf file with a sepecific color. But when I export that xcf file as JPG or as PNG, the color of the Text layer is different. But all the other layers I created in Procreate and not in Gimp itself stay the same. The odd thing is, that the text layer is displayed in Gimp itself the way it should, but when I display it on my Photo viewer App (I use Windows) or in my Browser, the color looks different. I thought that it's maybe due to the color Profile of the Apps, but as I opened the file in Procreate, I discovered, that all colors stayed the same, but only the text layer looks different - the text layer has the color, as it is displayed in the Browser or the Photo App. I am so confused right now... why does Gimp export only that one layer differently then the other ones and why does it change the color? It looks the right way in the Gimp App itself.

I would appreciate it so much, if somebody could help me out!

Hi all, hope you’re well. Gimp noob here.
I have a photoshop created image I need to edit.
I don’t have the base graphic, only compete versions. I need to edit the text and also a photograph within the image. Can anyone please how to do this?
I’m on 2.10.32
Thanks

Where can I go to find the most basic of all tutorials here in the forum?  I'm learning from square 1.

    I seem to have lost my toolbox properties. How do I restore them?

My camera doesn't take 16:9 aspect ratio.
That's the ratio of a standard TV where I view my jpeg pictures.
Therefore, I need to crop them –  in bulk.
I also need the Crop Rectangle to be at the bottom of the frame
(not centred across the middle where most crop software places it.
The reason is that generally, the top part of the picture is is less important than lowe down.
So what I would like is a stored template which will do this for me automatically, and in bulk if at all possible.
Does anyone know if this can be done in Gimp?

Recently switched to a newer version of GIMP (2.10.32) and finding that I am unable to edit floating selections without clicking on the alpha channel lock/unlock every time I want to make an edit to a floating selection.

Is there any way to turn this off this alpha channel lock (for floating selections) permanently? 

Having to click it off manually every time I want to make an edit on a floating selection is clunky / highly annoying, compared to the ease and functionality of the previous version (2.8) that I was using.

Kinda assuming there's no way within the current 2.10.32 version to permanently turn off automatic alpha channel lock for floating selections,
is it possible to manipulate the coding itself to do this?  I have no idea how to go about this....

Note: this method applies only to bigger images cut out properly (for instance, multiple screenshots of something too big to fit on a screen), not to picture extracts done with a handheld camera/smartphone that are in the realm of panorama software such as Hugin). This method can also give decent results with partial scans, but this assumes that there is very little distortion in the scanner, which isn't always a given.

• You temporarily set the layer at the top to Difference mode. This will show you outlines in both pics where they overlap. Yes, the top layer doesn't show in the areas where there is nothing below it.
  

   

• You move the top layer and and when the position is pixel-perfect the overlap goes completely black. In the last stages you can move the layer pixel-by-pixel using the cursor keys (or you can zoom in to some part of the image with many small details)
  

   

• You set the top layer back to Normal mode to restore the full image.
  

   

• Rinse and repeat for every layer.
  

Hello, I am newbbie, so please excuse my question if it is too stupid!
I have an .png image (white-logo.png), which I want to exploit/project on a bigger background image (04.png).
Not sure if this is possible at all with GiMP.

Thank you in advance for your response!

Best regards,
Lucky

  Colour change.xcf (Size: 18.88 KB / Downloads: 1074)   If I have a circle filled with red colour with anti-aliasing and feathering turned on, and if I then change the colour to blue, the colour on the edges still remains red. How can I fill the colour perfectly including the anti-aliased and feathered margins?

Hello. I'm running Gimp 2.10 on Linux Mint 20.  I have a standard AFAIK rgb jpg from my android phone.  I am having trouble with the clone tool selecting a source.  I have got it to sometimes, but mostly not.  I don't know what I did to make it work, but it now won't work again.  

I know about holding ctrl to select source, then releasing it. But it's not working and  doesn't leave the source brush behind and sometimes leaves the error message to set a clone source - which disappears at some point (again, I can't make it go, not sure what the trigger is).

I am also having problems with the dodge/burn not toggling too.  
I've used the clone tool loads before with no problems, but I'm an intermittent user but have been for many years.
I also previously installed the resynthesiser plugin - could this be linked?

If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it as I've used up a load of time getting nowhere.
Many thanks
