Hi,
I am experimenting with enhancement of old images.
The text and image on the right bottom are pale.
I would like the color darkness on the text and images on the right bottom the same as left top.
How to accomplish that in gimp.
Thank you and have a great day.

How do I do batch Color Saturation?  I don't see an option in the Batch Manipulation menu and I don't want to use Hue Saturation.

Hello.  Thank you all in advance.

I make a lot of composite pictures with many layers.  I import an image as a layer and then I click on it and on the scale tool and I get a little grid over the layer and I can adjust the size as I like.  I have done this many time, but in one document the scale tool is acting fishy.  I get the grid, but it is not the same as the layer.  It is some crazy configuration like width=3000 pixels.  height=1 pixel. 
I've tried to reset that tool, both in the gimp preferences and in the reset button in the scale dialog box.  I can never make it go back to the original way of just giving me a grid over the selected layer. 

I would appreciate any help.

Some plugins are not hidden in a menu but are at the end of a 'nest' of sub-menus. In particular is the Paths Dock where the right-click context menu is long. (1)

   

That is ok for a single use, consecutive repeated use is catered for by the Filters CTRL-F and SHIFT-CTRL-F keyboard shortcuts. (see: 8)

   

An alternative method is using the built-in  Gimp Search.  Press the ? / key (2) and enter the menu name as an entry (3) and it gives a list of possibilities.  Click on the entry (4) and in this case it brings up the plugin dialogue (5)

   

If your memory is not too good, you do not have to be too accurate with the search term, often a partial phrase works (6) and if you are using lots of paths, do not be lazy, give them a name (7) It does help with path plugins.  Back to the beginning, Using the same plugin repeatedly ? Then top of the Filters menu are Repeat functions (8).

   

Note: This is in addition to the Windows -> Help -> Plugin Browser which gives the menu location as text.

Hi,

I've been using Gimp for years but just started having problems printing jpeg.

If I go to print preview it fires up okular pdf viewer and apparently the file is jpeg wrapped in pdf.

If I go straight to print , I select landscape for this image, and I need to expand about 125% to get best use of paper.

However when it prints , it misses off the left ( now bottom ) of the image and leaves white paper above it. Again it looks like it is embedding the jpeg in pdf and then this is what is scaled including the white space at the top ( which in not part of my image but padding of the jpeg into ( I imagine ) a default pdf A4 "page".

image props tells me it is 2700 × 2068 pixels jpeg

linux file command also confirms as jpeg:

Quote:JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01, resolution (DPI), density 72x72, segment length 16, comment: "Created with GIMP", baseline, precision 8, 2700x2068, components 3

when I want to edit a layer/slice of an image I sometimes get a dotted window exactly around the part I want to edit and sometimes a window so large that the edges are far out of the screen.
I would always want a window exactly around the part I want to edit.
I don't understand what determines this?

I am using Gfix to create stars.

When I click and drag to size the star it creates multiple stars instead.

On a related note, when I change the number of points; it creates multiple stars in that pattern instead.

If I click and drag quickly and use a very short movement, I can get one star created but they are all then of the same size.

The star points is stuck at a five pointed star right now. 

Any help with this issue? 

Thanks...

Hi, It would be nice to know how to make a text effect like this. I mean, I can simply make the text and use some brush + erase. But how to make / find the right horizontal stroke brush ? Or is it something different from what I am thinking ? Thanks

This brush is useful

I have a pic. It's low resolution and I wonder if I can improve it so you don't see the pixel squares when zooming in. Can this be smoothed out?

Hi, I have just downloaded Gimp 2.10 but when opening the program it is shows squares with numbers inside, instead of letters/text.  I am using a MacBook Air 2020 running MacOS Big Sur 11.4

I presume this is a font issue, how best do I resolve this. 

Thanks
Mark
