I have GIMP 2.10 installed on a MX Linux 19.4 machine, followed instructions on this post to get arrows from GimpHelp, but can't figure out how to make it work, what I'm missing?
ps: I can see the arrows at the right panel, but couldn't copy it to the new layer. Please see the attached file.

Here is the brush, there is no other colors, than white, red, green.

   

Load it as an image in GIMP
Ctrl + A then Ctrl + C
Create new doc then Select that brush (Clipboard Image, first in the brush list)
Spacing 1
Force 70
   

Make a square....
do you got some black stripes?

Even worse...
Try Dynamics / Untitled >  Edit dynamics check "angle with Fade"
   

Fade length ~100
Repeat > Sawtooth wave (or any repeat will do)
   

Make a square...
Is it only me getting those black things?

   

So I tried to save it as a brush.gbr and put it in the brushes folder => same things happening
I tried also to select without feather =0 > shrink 3 pixels
same thing is happening but sharper....
And if you change the size of the brush (like smaller) it's even worse than above

Patterns that I saw (it's more obvious with dynamics):
drawing right to left is better (less black)
drawing bottom to top is better (less black)
drawing left to right is the worst
drawing top to bottom is the worst as well
reducing Force below 30 have a better effect, (less black parasites) but the candy alike is not sharp enough anymore > and goes on the blur side...

I'm getting out of ideas...
buntu 20.04, GIMP 2.10.24/25 PPA/appimage
did try also on my kid computer > MX Linux 19.4 GIMP from the original repo (Debian) 2.10.24, same problem

I am using a Windows 10 machine and I tried to customise a folder icon using an .ico file from GIMP. It get stretched across the x axis. Y remain fine. Any ideas why ? I am using a 64x64 px size PNG and ICO.

Yes , sorry to say - but we are creatures of habit (Well I am)

I like my interface (main window) to be set up like describe and shown  in the Gimp Docs https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-conce...indow-mode
So we are talking Single Window Mode and please pay attention on dock 4 and particularly dock 5 (see the posted url above) on the right side

But I got this when I for some time ago updated Gimp
https://imgur.com/yfDXnEh
The "Layer" dock no. 4 is now at the bottom and Dock 5 is at the top compared to the usual "standard layout"
....

When I try to rearrange, I loose the dock at the the bottom in the right corner and are left back with only ONE big right dock
Then I can make a "hang-loose" dock and but it on where I like it to be - but you know its not the same - see:

How can I get back the two docks on the right side (without reset all setting)?

Hi
I created a mask on an image that I was working on some time back. I want to use the mask again to rework that image. I exported and save the mask as a .jpeg file and I still have the original image. 
However, when I endeavour to open them, I cannot get the "Mask" to display next to the original image on the same layer as it did when I first created it. 
I read somewhere that holding Ctrl / Shift keys down at the same time would open them together but I cannot make this work. 
I can open them both as stand alone images, or as layers, but not as an Image / Mask.
Could someone please suggest a tutorial that could explain this process or perhaps give me a description of what I need to do and attach to this thread. 
Many Thanks
Gazza

I'm new to gimp.  I can't find out how to widen the tool pane/palette on the left side of the screen.  I hovered over the usual places with no luck.  I need to do this because things are cramped and chopped off.

windows
gimp 2.10.24

I have old documents which have yellowed and have what appears
to be dirt in different areas which is blotchy.  I have tried using copy
tools, selecting an area which is just yellow and cleaning the darker
areas until they are yellow, it works but it is very time consuming.

Is there a way to remove a layer of dirt like this over the entire
document?

Thanks

Hi,
I have an image I would like to print in big format.
This image is not sharp and shows pixels.
Which tool can I use to sharpen this image so that it looks good on a 61 x 91 cm.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Mandy
