Hi, I am brand new to gimp scripting and still figuring out the basics. I'd like to find out how to perform a translation on only the pixels of a layer that are within a selection. Basically the equivalent of doing this in the UI: perform selection, hold down Ctrl-Alt, then click and drag.

I can create a selection just fine, but I don't know how to turn the pixels inside the selection into a floating selection. I assume once I do that, I can just use gimp-item-transform-translate on the floating selection?

Thanks!

Hello !

I used to use a script with gimp, a script which doesn't work anymore. It's color-to-alpha All Layers.

In fact, now, when I want to erase a color on all layers, the rest of the image becomes green.

An exemple :

The color I wanted to erase is clear but the rest has become green.

Any idea ?

Thanks for your help !

EDIT : The first time I used this script with that tuto from rich2005 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG42e_TP...e=youtu.be
it worked very well but for a moment, it doesn't work anymore.

How word import word Text into gimp - if atall

Are there any significant changes in the text box in the latest version of gimp as to how text comes out? I have looked at everything I can think of. Need to give an answer to a member of another forum who is getting dashes when their words are just too long. I think it might be that the text box is just too small or the font is too large.
Says he cannot do multiple lines in one text box.

A way to make weird graphics with TTI (Text To Image). https://app.wombo.art/
A few examples :
'Gimp' as text and 'Backlight Mode'
   
The program is also working with uploaded photos, a face as photo with prompt 'Never ending flower'
   
   

I have an image of the front of a dress. I want to make one half of the dress black and one half white. I am guessing I am going to use the Paths tool and outline one half of the dress and do a layer via copy and the do the same with the other half. So now each half of the dress will be on a separate layer. What is my next step? Do I create a layer mask for each layer and fill the mask with the color i want or do I just do a fill with FG or BG?

Now it's not written "Never" in front of this sub-forum

I was following along with a YouTube tutorial on converting a photo into halftones.
I followed step by step however when I completed the steps I still had a white background (after inverting color for black tshirt) the tutorial showed the exact image as I had however the background was transparent (checkerboard) I'm so frustrated I understand gimp has a learning curve it's just discouraging on what is a fairly simple thing as this to keep finding yourself not accomplishing what seems simple.

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?
