Hi Everyone! I'm going crazy figuring out why my seemingly high-res 300dpi images are appearing pixelated in GIMP but sharp in Windows Photos viewer. The pixelation carries through in printing, resulting in a print that is fuzzy and not crisp like the print from Windows Photos.

Attached is an example. The PNG image I'm working on was downloaded from web, 2000x2000 pixels. I've zoomed in to show the dramatic differences from just importing the same image into GIMP. GIMP image size is 2000x2000, 300 ppi, and print size is 8.5x11in. The PNG exported version from GIMP is equally pixelated and is apparent in Windows Photos from the start. 

If Windows Photos was sufficient to print as is, I wouldn't be here. But I want to make changes to the image in GIMP. Can anyone help identify the issue? I'd really appreciate any expertise since I work with black line art mainly and the right image is just not acceptable.

Hello, I was hoping someone could help me? This is something silly and I can't seem to figure it out as to why it keeps happening?

But when I do text in gimp, and I hit enter to go to the next line it goes above the first line of text in the text box. I hope that makes sense? The only way I have figured out how to solve this problem, is making each line a separate text box by itself. But was wondering if maybe I am doing something wrong, and that's what it is causing the text to do this or maybe a setting somewhere I missed in gimp.

I attached a screen shot of what it is doing in gimp. In the picture you'll see that you have to read the text all same text box from the bottom to the top for it to make sense. Otherwise it's backwards in a sense.

Thanks for any help. Much appreciated.

I searched for this but could not find an answer. The main window is same rez as my monitor but at that the icons and text are much too small.

I've been cleaning out my deceased mother's things and I found some old film negatives. How old? They were taken with a Kodak Brownie camera and the negatives are 2.5" x 3.75", one per picture. It is black & white film. Is there software that will capture these negatives so I can "print" the pictures digitally to share with my brothers? I already have a Canon CanoScan flat bed scanner and GIMP 2.10.30. BTW - Canoscan treats the negative as a negative strip and doesn't capture part of the image. Loverly.

Thank you.

Hi, I use the High pass filter. I wish to change what it proposes per default : Dev Std 7 instead of 4 and contrast 1.1 instead of 1. I suppose it needs to modify "something" but I don't know what neither where.
Thanks for your help
An other question: Using this filter needs several steps. I'd like to have it all with only one click (so a script). But I know absolutly nothing about programing. Could someone help me?
Thanks, Jean Pierre

Are there any, or any plans to add Neural filters to Gimp, perhaps Gimp 3.0

Hello Gimp-Users,

i have the problem that a tiff-file saved with a macro with file-tiff-save can't be opened anymore using file-tiff-load. The load fails with: "RuntimeError: Procedure 'file-tiff-load' returned no return values" 

The file can however be opened using the Gimp-Ui.

I can recreate this behavior by saving a tiff from the UI with having the checkbox for "Layers" marked.
file-tiff-save has no parameters to modify this.

Do you now what the exact issue is and how can I fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Hello there 
I planning to make a PDF document and would like to insert some weblink inside.
Is it possible to do this with Gimp?
Thanks

is there any plans for Gimp to set up a plugin set up to make it easier to download plugins that we might want to make it simple for us idiots. Apologise if this has been brought up in the past.
