Moved on to Ubuntu 22.04 (or one of the spin-offs) ? Then installed Gimp only to find your python plugins no longer work. One option is use a Gimp flatpak, although it is sandboxed which has some drawbacks.
This is about using the regular Gimp installation. I found the old packages to install gimp-python had too many incompatibilities, too many 'broken' to remove.
Fortunately there is a linux 'appimage' that you can use to start a regular Gimp 2.10 and add python support.
(edit: For 'buntu 22.04 there is a bit of a twist, it requires the application 'fuse' which is deprecated, no longer supported. You can install this which removes the installed fuse3, but it might be better to keep that newer version.)
No longer needed if you use the appimage launcher
So the installation procedure goes:
Install Gimp 2.10
Code:
sudo apt install gimp
Install python 2.7
Code:
sudo apt install python2
Put the appimage in its own folder, make sure it is executable, and from that folder unpack it.
An extra: A regular Ubuntu being Gnome DE does not spoil the user with utilities. Nothing easy to create a launcher or .desktop file. There is the alacarte package available. In true Ubuntu style it is broken, so attached is a little desktop-file-creator. Unzip it and run it.
I write this because today I almost got stuck installing the Resynthesizer plugin, and its dependencies so if it can help some one to not run across internet for a while....
Using my wife's laptop for few days now (GIMP 2.10.30 PPA from Panda Jim, Ubuntu-MATE 20.04.4 LTS just updated her laptop system yesterday after a year without update)
... and I saw that I did not have the resynthesizer plugin in GIMP, heal selection, heal transparency...
I did check "Python -V" Python 2.7.18 was there, so it's not python2
So trying to install gimp-python...
Code:
sudo apt install gimp-python
But Ubuntu removed it from the apt list, no more, nada, finish
I did found this discussion https://discuss.pixls.us/t/gimp-python-n...4/17769/21 but the links got a 404 error
Looks like Ubuntu get some pleasure to make it difficult for us...
From any given color image file, I want to obtain 3 individual image files as black & white (grayscale) positive images, one for each of the RGB primary color channels. In chemical photo terms, these would be B&W color separations. How can this be done?
Hi,
in the attached image you can see the writing Seminoles.com which I imagine is an image superimposed on the original as you can see in the thumb on the left. How can I do to remove it? That is, I would like to see the image as seen in the thumb. I thought there were multiple layouts, but there is only one
I want to restore a photo, but have a slight problem with part of the photo. I don't know if it's just fade, or damaged, but it's a different colour. I've tried changing it to grey scale to try and match up the colours, but can't seem to get it to match. Part of it looks sepia. Any advice appreciated.
I found that in keyboard shortcuts, there is filters recent 01, 02...10.
However, there is only a single keyboard shortcut for filters repeat.
Why?
a) filters recent opens the Gimp menu of filters and then u must press ok in order to apply the filter.
b) However, filters repeat use the predefined filter options and reapply them. This is extremely useful and time-saving.
c) When you do repetitive work such as color editing, bluring, croping etc,
it will be extremely time-saving to reapply very easily filters with predefined settings as quickly as possible.
Is this a new look?
It looks like some icons have 23 additional ones in a dropdown. Is it possible to ungroup them and show all the icon options as separate icons?

Hello
I have an image of colored tape and I like the colors. They each have multiple colors.
How to make a seamless tile with similar pattern that I can use as a background for my Windows 7 desktop? http://davidswebsite.com/gimp/colored_tape1.jpg
Hi guys, I'm trying to use BIMP to mass edit images to create 3D box arts and am having trouble with it.
What I'm trying to get is all the images like this
When I choose the item-transform-perspective no matter what I put in the boxes below the images come out black and the file sizes are in Kb's when the files were 1-2MB previously.
Is there something else i should be doing as well? I had a search and saw this
"This procedure is affected by the following context setters: gimp_context_set_interpolation(), gimp_context_set_transform_direction(), gimp_context_set_transform_resize(), gimp_context_set_transform_recursion()"
So I added them also and set them to match what the perspective tool is set at and still no joy. Ill be honest i am new to this and have no idea what I'm doing so any help will be greatly appreciated.
Hi!
I am very VERY new to GIMP, so I apologize ahead for dumb questions.
I tried looking for youtube guides on my problem, but couldn't find anything useful.
However, I encountered problems immediately as I have problems getting the "object" behind the trees - magic wand doesn't help as it the fog messes up tree silhouettes to select them and the copypaste above the "object".
Should I use a mask? If yes, what kind of and how? (I know how to create masks, but don't understand how to use this function in this case if it is even applicable at all)
Please, point me in a direction of a guide on how this is done or explain yourself - I appreciate ANY help
Thank you!
This the inevitable video demo:
