I've created another plug-in called GIMP SpriteAtlas, which can compile a sprite texture or sprite atlas for use in games and web pages.

It takes multiple smaller images, you need to open them as layers in one GIMP image, then run the plug-in and it will create one large sprite texture. The plug-in uses a packing algorithm to use as few space as possible. It also exports a JSON, XML or CSS file with the coordinates. Optionally, it can extend the edges of certain sprites, which is sometimes needed to get seemless tiles.

You can download it here:

This is the most basic of questions, I realize.  I just downloaded GIMP yesterday and am an old woman who is not tech-savvy.  I created a new file and added some text.  A dotted box now appears around the text and I can't get the dots to go away.  I tried right clicking on both the text box and elsewhere on the screen after adding the text, thinking that would deselect the text.  It did not.  I tried clicking on the text tool, thinking perhaps that would turn off the text tool.  It did not.  I tried clicking on another tool, thinking that might deselect the text.  It did not.  I did a right click and chose Selection within the text box, but the None box is grayed out.  Finally, I saved the new file with the box around the text, thinking the box would go away after I saved the file.  I opened the file and the dotted box is still around the text.  

Can someone please help me?  I know I will do a DUH when someone tells me the answer, lol.  Thank you for whatever help you can provide.

I have no trouble with cloning but still have to work out perspective cloning.
Well I had a thought today that maybe I was going about it all wrong and tried again. Got my image and clicked on perspective clone then on the picture I wanted to copy.
For some reason the rotate tool was brought up? Even had this icon on my canvas - in the tool options it says perspective clone. I couldn't even try to do it today.
But why would that happen anyway. I checked my tools to make sure the correct one was highlighted. Could it be a bug?

After carefully outlining this pencil using the Free Select tool I went to Image and clicked on Crop to Selection, and it didn't. Instead it gave me a rectangular crop that hugged the pencil. Actually, all I really need is the pencil on a white background, and I'd like to draw a black line around the edge of the pencil. Can someone help me do this?

(I can't seem to attach a screen shot of what I'm talking about.... Do I need special permission from an admin?)

The main GIMP 2.10.30 folder IS NOT in my C: Drive/Program files - or- Program files (x86). 

I downloaded from Gimp org, opened the zip file, ran the setup.exe and it works great but the folder is not coming up in any search.  I have view set for all hidden files.

Does anyone know where it could be on WIN 10 or if I'm overlooking something obvious?

As you can see this is what horizontal and vertical distribution does.
Instead of this:


It shoots the layers outside of the picture instead of keeping the mcontained inside and distributing them neatly, like PowerPoint can.
How to fix it to properly distribute elements instead of counting how many pixels od space I need and moving elements manually?

I sometimes need to print barcodes at work, I was wondering if there are any good and free plugins for gimp.

Hi,

I have tried script for linking a image with its mask but its not working. I need it to be worked urgently. Kindly help.

I'm new to Gimp and photo-editing. I took a photo, and there's an unpainted white panel that's distracting. Here's the photo: https://imgur.com/8xVe5Xv

Is there a way to add something to the panel?

Is there a way to change the color of the panel to black or grey?

Since the panel is a 3d object, it would not have uniform level of black or gray. Also, it would not be perfectly black since no real-life object is perfectly black.
