Hi, I am having problems with the circle-slash problem with rectangles and paint bucket.  BTW, Windows 10 Pro, Gimp 2.10.30

I want to make glossy buttons for my visual basic project and found a youtube video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ecs0yk4Vasw.  I have used the instructions on the video to make several buttons, but now am encountering the dreaded circle-slash error. Here is what I do: Create a new file: File=>New and set the size to 360X240. Like in the video, I use the paint bucket to make the canvas white. So far so good.  Then when I try to make a rectangle (which I have done many times in the past), I get the circle-slash.  Based on the help on the internet, I click on Select=>All and I am able to create the rectangle.  I set the size to 240X120 with a rounded radius of 21.  Then I click on Select=>Save to Channel like in the video.  Then I create a new layer as per video.  Unlike the video, I want to fill the rectangle with red.  When I click on paint fill,  I get the circle-slash error again.  When I click the select=>all, my rectangle disappears.  I have no idea what has changed between when I was able to do this before and now am fighting it.  I really like Gimp but the problem I have with it is that I can accidently click something with my mouse and blow things up. As information, I have researched this problem on the internet and have tried what I have read to correct it: making sure there are no locks on my layers, making sure that select=> all is selected and so on and so forth.  I am not having any luck.  Please help me.  (Let me know if I need to send pictures of my settings.)  Thank you

Hello community,

today I tried to export a GIMP image created in the standard sRGB color profile to a CMYK color profile by using the separate plug-in. This is required by the printing house to avoid color deviations between the design and the final print. Unfortunately, when converting it with the separate plug-in, a massive color difference can be seen. Maybe you can tell me what I am doing wrong?

    sRGB
    CMYK
    separate settings

Looking forward for your assistance!

Software used:
GIMP 2.10.30
Separate+ for GIMP 2.10.6


Yours,
Luax

Sorry if this seems a silly question but can someone please explain why, when in rectangle select mode, it isn't possible to use Ctrl+A to select all and then resize the selection from that? No transformation handles are available. Is there a reason for this?

I loaded an RGB image which I added an Alpha channel to and then decomposed it. I pasted another image into the alpha channel and then did a compose into an RGBA image. At this point the image it shows me on the screen now has a checkerboard pattern on it even though none of the channels had any transparent areas. I saved the image as a png. If I open it with a different program it appears normal. If I open it with Gimp, it as the checkerboard pattern on it.

I am new to Gimp, so I would lke to know what this is indicating and how to remove it?

Hello, for a while now, gimp has been very slow or stops responding on every file operation. 

I have tried uninstaling gimp and even formated my compter recently, and i am still experiencing the same problem.

I have read on other threads about "phantom drives" which could caus gimp to freez but i have not found any of that on my computer, though i am not quite sur what to look for.


The only thing that works is right clicking a file and choosing "open with gimp".
All other file operations either take 10 minutes to load, or fail.

i have tried, uninstalling and re-installing
i have tried formating my computer
i have tried disconecting my computer from the internet

Thank you!

Filter: luminosity-tiler-0.1.py
Author: Ofnuts
Date: 2013

I have two images open.
- The image on which I want to apply the filter and the image that contains the Tiles.
- Tiles used are those from XCF in the sample file provided on Sourceforge (LuminosityCircleTiles.xcf).

I activate the image, activate the filter, indicate the image with Tiles in the filter...

The error below appears:

  GIMP Error
Calling error for procedure 'plug-in-pixelize2':
Procedure 'plug-in-pixelize2' has been called with an invalid ID for argument 'image'. Most likely a plugin is trying to work on an image that doesn't exist any longer.

  Tiles from Luminosity Warning
Procedure 'plug-in-pixelize2' has been called with an invalid ID for argument 'image'. Most likely a plugin is trying to work on an image that doesn't exist any longer.

I've never used this plugin before, I just installed it and was wanting to try it out. so I don't know exactly if I'm doing everything right or if I'm doing something wrong.

Maybe an outdated plugin?

Thx

Hello all,

I need to get some GIF work done and do one of the most brutal tasks of all: Adding text to a GIF (dun dun dun)
I downloaded the oft-interleave-layers plugin from Ofnuts' list of scripts here . I got the .zip, extracted the .py file into my plug-in folder (Home > .config > GIMP > 2.10 > plug-ins > oft-interleave-layers.py). This plug-in folder is the first folder in my Preferences options. The .py is also executable.
I am not able to get the plug-in to even show in my menus however. The documentation states that the plug-in should be available under Image but after numerous retries and fiddling, I am not able to get this to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

I find it ironic that I'm spending more time getting this to work than manually adding the text to each layer lol, but I know that it'll save me time in the upcoming projects.

HI - I am new to GIMP but just installed the 2.10.30 version. I have a few images that I want to have GIMP modify. So after I load GIMP on my MS Windows 10 64 bit OS and then go to FILE=>OPEN and select a file, I get a message from GIMP for the file that I am trying to open - Opening 'C:\Users\GP Standalone\Pictures\bow2.jpg' failed:

Unknown file type 

If I copy the same image to the Windows clipboard and then use FILE=> CREATE (from Clipboard), I have no trouble seeing the image in the GIMP workarea. I can then SAVE the file as an ..XCF and then Open it successfully. However if I try to export the work from GIMP to a say x.jpg file, I get the GIMP message - The given filename does not have any known file extension. Please enter a known file extension or select a file format from the file format list. 

Does anyone recognize what is happening here? Thanks

I have a pdf of over 400 pages. I am using the following script to convert the pdf into another pdf with fonts looking old.
https://ideone.com/8uerbj
Now, for pdf of <200 pages, the script worked properly. But for this one, it's only producing only around 60 pages. Any idea what might cause that?

Already tried importing pdf in a lower resolution so RAM doesn't act up. Didn't help

I tried to use ofn-text-path-selection today at work today and it did nothing. After testing it on multiple paths I noticed it would work on some simple single letter paths, partially work on some paths that did not overlap, and did nothing on the path I have that overlaps in many places.

My work machine is a Windows computer and I just updated it recently. I've never had a single problem using this plugin on my Linux machine at home, but not sure if I've ever actually used this script before here at work. I will try this same file at home tonight to see if there is a difference.

I've created and attached an xcf with the path I'm having an issue with.

Thanks!
