I have been using gimp for many years with just a mouse and keyboard but recently got a Huion tablet to help me paint.
Since plugging it in and messing with the paintbrush tool I have realized I don't really understand the settings of the paintbrush tool. Using the tablet has changed my paintbrush settings and I do not know how to return them to what I am used to using.
When I draw a line with the paintbrush, with the mouse or the tablet I get a line that is broken up and the size of the line changes depending on the speed I move.
I know this is probably a simple fix, but can anyone help me please?
I tried to install Resynthesizer Plugin, however when I went to Filters/enhance all the tools are greyed out.
Does it work in GIMP 2.10.30? I vaguely remember reading somewhere that it doesn't! If that is true what
would be the last version of GIMP where it works?
I followed the instructions from this video to install it.
Gimp 2.10.30 on windows 10 64bit. When adjusting an image and resizing it and scaling it from 300dpi to 72dpi Gimp freezes, grays out and says "no longer responding". I have to close Gimp to continue and of course lose everything that hasn't been saved. Thanks for any help in fixing this glitch. Love my Gimp! Been using it for can't remember when!
I have hid all layers and still there is something visible.. what is that ? why is it visible ?
I have drawn the cloud like thing with path tool.. but somehow it is not added into layer.. why ?
Appreciate if somehow point out the problem.
Thanks
I am using GIMP 2.10 on a Macbook Pro OSX 12.3.1. When I try to export a 16 bit XCF file as a 16 bit BMP R5G6R5 file, I wind uo with an 8 bit BMP file.
What am I doing wrong?
I have a pic.
I want to put some text on it.
I import the pic.
I make a duplicate layer.
I hide the original layer. (this is my attempt to keep my original untouched)
Then I write with the text tool and this automatically creates a 'text layer' right?
then I try to move the text around or the text layer around or something to get the text where I want it.
But the underneath layer moves instead. That's the duplicate layer.
I make sure the text layer is selected and it seems it is.
?
I have created a semi-transparent glass "texture" (see attached image) in Gimp 2.10 which is just a single color. I filled the layer mask with 34 (dark grey) and applied it but Gimp outputs the alpha value as 4.
I have opened the image in Photos (the Windows app), which has a background color of #222222. If I put another layer behind the glass texture in Gimp, fill it with #222222 and merge the layers, I get (45, 48, 48). In Photos, the color is (36, 37, 37) and Adobe Photoshop gives me (37, 37, 37).
When a layer is selected (alpha to selection) and I use the scale tool to resize it, it leaves marks/outlines of the original size.
How can I prevent this from happening?
I've been using Gimp 2.8 for years and since 2.10, there are some behaviors I really don't get. I searched for hours on the net without finding solutions because I think I miss keywords. It's really simple, I have three layers, from the top to the bottom :
- Random white text - Layer opacity 10 which is a glow aura of the text - Black background
When I switch the black background to a transparent, the aura is diminished to the final export (see attachment). Why? My low opacity layer is the same whatever the situation, it's not supposed to behave according to the layer below it.
It gave me a lot of headaches for a long time. This behavior is clearly different from previous version of Gimp. I let 2.10 to the side for a long time because it literally destroys a lot of projects and I suspected a bug, but now it's 2.10.30 and it's still there. In 2.8 and before, layer is a layer, that's all, it doesn't disappear or change because of what you did on another layer. I feel like a total dumbass but can't manage to find anyone talk about it.
