Hi there, I regularly update Gimp now 3.0.4, but it still drives me crazy the image moving all over the place when I pull a selection string or just scrolling the image around with my trackpad.  Do mac user find it more stable downloaded from macports? in the meantime I tried to use the move tool to move the image but it moves the layer too. Thank you

I wanted to design a flyer in GIMP that includes a multi URL QR code, wich is basically one code that sends people to a page with multiple links (my website, social media and a contact form). I didn’t feel like installing any Python plugins or messing with the GIMP plug-in folder, so I kept it simple and did everything outside GIMP, then imported the result.


What I did:

1. I used a QR generator that supports multiple links. Most modern services allow you to create a multi URL QR code using a dynamic landing page inside their service. I added all my links and customized the page with my logo and colors.
   
2. I exported the QR code as a PNG. The site lets you download in high resolution, and even vector formats if needed. PNG worked fine for my case.
   
3. I opened my flyer project in GIMP and imported the QR code.
   I used File > Open as Layers to bring in the QR PNG, then scaled it down while keeping interpolation set to None to preserve sharp edges (blurry codes leads to huge scan fails).
   
4. I added a small label below it “Scan for links” to make it obvious.
   
5. Tested the scan at actual print size using my phone camera. Worked right away.
   

I have PCIe 3 slots on my computer (I used CPUID CPU-Z to find the version). The PC works fine. New PCs may have PCIe 5 slots and in the near future PCIe 6 slots. Currently, one is developing a PCIe version 8:

I have been using the “equalize” function to correct images with poor color matching. 
Menu: Colors - Automatic - Equalize
Python: t = layer.equalize(False)
This worked well in Gimp version 2.10.38. In Gimp version 3.0.4, the result is different. Based on the histograms, I suspect that this is due to the processing of the images in the linear color space. Unfortunately, the results of version 3.0.4 are significantly worse (too bright), regardless of the format of the source images (integer, float, linear, non-linear). 
How can I get the results of the earlier versions back in version 3.0.4?

Hello everyone. I'm trying to customize the UI of my GIMP installation and would like to remove all the default items, i.e. everything in the yellow box in the attached image, from dialogue.

I tried right clicking them, but the removal option is disabled. How would I go about getting rid of them?

Thanks

Hi, when selecting with the free selection too (lasso) I can't never get to the end because it closes before I am finished. I tried pressing shift to ad but absolutely nothing happens on mac sonoma. I found there is "add" but I don't see it under the selection menu, neither in help. 
Thank you.

hello everyone 

good day!

how to re-color some parts of a image 

which options do we have here

Hi! Does anybody know about an open software specialized for editorial design? I know about Inkscape but I think that it's more equivalent to sofwares like CorelDraw or Illustrator, I would like to know if there's an equivanet for something more like InDesign.

Thanks for reading my question!

Hi! Is supposed that the applyied fx to a layer are processed by GMIC? 
I have a desaturated image, and exposure tweaked, grayscaled, but when open GMIC it shows the original color image...
is this right or something is going bad?

Hi, I have been using GIMP with the layer panel showing properly for a bit, so I must have touched something.
I need to bring up the layer panel to reveal more of it, and hide the panel above. I found that I need to "identify the thin line between 
the 2 panel, grab and drag up, which is pretty intuitive. I only have the 3 dots to grab, and I can't bring the panel any further up. Thank you.
