Hi,

Can someone explain to me how to make icons bigger?

The steps I have done:
Access Edit --➤ Preferences --➤ Icon Theme --➤ Custom Icon size and shifted slider to “Huge”. The icons changed but still are not as I expected.


Regards,

After editing images and closing all, system memory usage still remain as before and even layers list and undo history remain.
I have to close Gimp to free all memory.
How to avoid it without restart Gimp?

On Windows 10 with 16GB ram, ssd and AMD Ryzen 5.

Hey, I'm working on a new design with 5 logos stacked on top of each other evenly but the alignment tool won't work, what am I doing wrong?

Hello,

I am producing a batch of images with Python/Gimp Scriptfu

But it seems on every round of the loop I am accumulating unnecessary Memory. Eventually this leads to a Memory Error. 

It looks like pdb.gimp_image_delete(image) is not working. It should return True on success but that isn't the case.

Anyone experienced similar issues or knows whats wrong? I am using Gimp 2.1 on MacOS

Or is there another way to simply clear the memory cache of GIMP after each round of the loop or whenever needed?

Thanks a lot!w_

Hi, is there a plugin or other option which allows us to add text animations to a GIF?

If not GIMP, would be delighted to know about other options as well. Thanks.

Not sure what terminology to use.  The Gaussian blur by default is applying a gentle bell curve to the blur, so that it tapers off more and more gradually as the value approaches 0% (or 100%).  In the end, the blur winds up extending extremely far—much further than the actual limit suggested by the specified radius, for example.

I'm hoping there's a way to tighten that curve.  Make it less of a bell.  Ideally, the ability to directly program the curve would be nice.

Edit: Since it's on-topic, some convenient means of forcing the blur to affect all four channels (rather than literally only alpha) would also be nice.

Hello I am new on this forum.
I'm used to using gimp ( 2.10) with linux and here appears a problem that I can't solve on one of my computers: when I use the eraser it erases the contrast of the image and the image gets lighter. Usually I have either the image behind or the background appearing depending on whether I have added an alpha layer or not.

thanks for your help!

Good Morning.

I'm new to the forum and also to using GIMP. I'm using the program to create a board game, including the manual, and that's where I'm having a weird problem. As you can see in the images below in some text boxes the letters end up being cut off. I always copy my text boxes to keep the configuration and just move them around on the page, so I don't understand why some are normal while others aren't. If anyone knows what I can do to solve this problem would be very grateful.

Hey all, a few weeks ago I was using random filters and ended up finding one I liked, but I can't remember what filter it was or how I used it. 

On the left in this image is before the filter, on the right is with the filter. 

   

Can anyone point me to how I did this? I tried going through all the filters again and can't figure it out. Sorry if this is a really stupid question.

EDIT - I forgot I also used the filter on this text layer. It may be easier to identify from this. Does anyone know what this is?

   

I'm using the latest Gimp AppImage available, 2.10.25, on Linux Mint. I have lately starting working with some very large files and will have 7 or 8 of them open sometimes in Gimp.  After a while, my cache will max out and start swapping to the SSD.  There is 16GB of RAM in the system and I have swappiness set to 20, but have tried setting it to 10 also and there doesn't seem to be that much difference as the same thing happens after a while. Most of the time it happens after multiple usages of Gimp; it just seems to build up after awhile.

The cache never seems to be reclaimed, except with a restart of the computer. Closing Gimp has no effect.

I had the VFS Cache set to 50, then tried 60, then 75 and finally just deleted the line in etc/sysctl.conf altogether and let it go back to its default pressure of 100, as no setting really seemed to be better than any other one as far as releasing cache back into usage.

No Gimp preferences that might seemingly affect this have been changed and are all standard.

 

With the AppImage, is there a folder where I can manually clean the cache out after finishing with Gimp? I realize that there probably isn't, as I'm talking about RAM, but maybe someone has some sort of suggestion or thought about what may be happening or what I could do different.
