Without changing versions of GIMP drop shadows went form being the color selected to being very light versions of the color selected.  I am using layer/layer effects/drop shadow  I have opacity at 100% all the settings are ones I have used many times and it worked fine.  Now all of a sudden the color used for the drop shadow is not the one selected but a very light version of it.  I have included a screenshot.  I am using GIMP 2.10.12 I know everyone is going to say to upgrade to latest version.  However this happened with no changes to GIMP and the last time I upgraded I lost some features.

I'm new to gimp. I am having a problem with my rotate tool. It will not rotate. I know I am on the right layer. Searched google etc. Been looking for answers for a couple of days. The curser with the rotate symbol as a little circle with a line going through it witch, I believe is a lockout. Please take it easy on thee gimp terms. Can you help?

Thanks

I am working to restore an old image and there is a ton of white marks left by tape or some other type of wear. I have been using a combination of resynthesizers heal filter and the clone stamp but it is far too time consuming. I was hoping someone might have a suggestion of how to better deal with this sort of damage.
In the image I included you can see where I have already restored the bottom right portion of the jacket as well as a small portion of the arm and trousers but it is taking a painful amount of time to do this. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks.

I downloaded and unzipped the Resynthesizer files so I can remove a figure from a photo. I can't find the PLUGINS folder in my  GIMP program to add the files. Using WIN10, and GIMP 2.10.32

I have been trying to write a script to automate colour cast removal.
If an image has transparency it "dilutes" the colour cast I am trying to remove.
When I run the following code

Double-clicking on the number in brush size doesn't highlight it. What gives?

I have successfully written a script, which when ran in the Python-Fu console does what I want. I want to make a keyboard shortcut, so I can run this quickly when necessary, rather than pasting it into the console every time. How should I do this? I've tried writing the code in VS code and saving it in the GIMP scripts folder as both a .py and .scm file. The .scm file raises 'unbound variable: import' when I hit 'refresh scripts' under Script-Fu. I cannot find where to run the script as a .py, but it seems to refresh fine. I also do not know how I would bind a keyboard shortcut to a script.

Here's the code, though I doubt this is the issue as it works fine in the console:

import gimpfu
current_image = gimp.image_list()[0]
layer=pdb.gimp_layer_new(current_image, 1, 1, gimpfu.RGB_IMAGE, "white_layer", 100, gimpfu.NORMAL_MODE)
pdb.gimp_image_add_layer(current_image, layer, 0)
pdb.gimp_layer_resize_to_image_size(layer)
pdb.gimp_item_set_visible(layer, 0)

Hi,
I just installed the latest version of GIMP 2.10.32 on Windows. I was running some tests, and found this broken behavior. Could someone check this out on their system?

1. Load an image into GIMP. I've tried this with both 'png' and 'jpg' file types.
2. Duplicate the layer.
3. On the duplicate layer, apply the default Engrave settings from Filters/Distorts/Engrave....
4. Change the layer mode of the top layer to Burn.

GIMP 2.10.32 was working perfectly. All of a sudden I can't export a head without a black background. I removed GIMP and re-installed. No difference. I'm stumped.

How can I merge visible paths without losing the original visible path layers (like the image layer option 'New from Visible') ?
