Hi, I'd like to know if it's possible to change the "FG/BG Color" dialog modes to RGB/HSV instead of RGB/LCh. Some info: I have GIMP 2.10.28 installed (with PhotoGimp mode). Thanks!

been following this help video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CMt3Uc0zrg,
it shows the same steps as many other help vids

see attachments, the process goes ok until I get to filling the text with color, when
selecting the bucket tool, it looks like the text is selected now with a red border?
and sure enuf there looks like a red border remains on the filled in text?

I can't find why the selected text gets what looks like a red border?

maybe its not a red border?

if not a border what is it? and how to remove whatever it is

if it is a red border can't find anywhere how to remove a border
around text, except maybe to unselect the Show Layer Boundary under view
but that doesn't work

of course now the attachments are not in the order they should be, the process is
as expected in 3 attachments, 2 show where it goes off the rails

Using Gimp 2.10.22 on knoppix 9.1

Reference our prior discussion pertaining to plug-in compatibility with python 2 vs python 3 that is included with various linux distributions.

Recently figured out what I had been doing wrong all along trying to get the Synaptic package manager working.  Great resource for the direct links to the repositories.

So, trying to make up for past deficiencies, I located a Python 2.10.8-2 which is specifically billed as being "python support for gimp"

Installed it, and how have a Python-Fu menu item in my Gimp >Filters menu.  Then placed the plugin-heal-selection.py, plugin-heal-transparency.py,  resynthesizer, and resynthesizer_gui items in my /.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins subdirectory.

Relaunched gimp, and behold  the menu items heal selection and heal transparency showed up in my Filters>Enhance menu.

But Resynthesizer did not show up in my Filters>Map menu.   I recall there being something about having to make the two Resynthesizer items "executable".  WHICH I BELIEVE all that entails is to go to Properties>Permissions>Execute and verify that the list box states  "Anyone".

Is that correct? Or have I been missing something more that is required?

Because when I try to use either heal selection or heal transparency in gimp, I get the following errors.

Heal Selection




Heal Transparency




And in both instances I additionally get the following  "procedure not found" error message:





So, that has me wondering......does the retro "Python for Gimp" addition that I made appear to be the right one? is there a better?

Have I  properly done what is required to make the Resynthesizer modules executable?

Have I muffed up something else?

As always, your time and thoughts are appreciated  

I'm getting a bit annoyed by dockable dialogs always falling off and becoming an independent object in the interface when I touch them with my pen. Is there a way to anchor the dockable dialogs once the interface is to my liking?

Basically I'm trying to prevent the 1-2 step as seen in the two images below.

Hello, Gimp experts.
Sure, you can convert a Photo to a JPG,but is there a way to do the opposite?
Can you convert a JPG into something that sorta' looks like a photograph?
IF Not, then is there some other program that can do this?
Thanks.

I got my inspiration for this by Marco Cianfanelli. For this I had in mind that the parts of the face are mounted on rectangular bars that are positioned in one line.  
   

Hi,

I'm kind of new using batch processing. I have about 300 pages of scanned old manuscript. Its yellowish and stained.

Normally I will clean it up by:


1. Duplicate the layer
2. Change the top layer mode to "grain merge"
3. Merge down the layer.
4. Repeat the steps until I got a much cleaner page.
5. Touch up using brush.

I was wondering if there is a scrip or command that I can use to to step 1 to step 3 on batch file. I mean, cleaning up old manuscript for family safekeeping is really hard work. If there is a batch processing that I can run and sit back. I still need to touch up here and there of course, but this will take at least 75% work load if I can automate it.

Thank you

When im coping one image into excisting image and edit part of the copied image, there is a change of colour in the background where the removed part of the image used to be.

I have one picture,
adding a layer
adding image of stars into new layer
removing most of the stars/new image
outline of new image is still there

please see attached image

Folks,
I'm a self taught GIMP user, please be gentle!
I'm painting car templates for a racing simulator called iRacing.  iRacing has Spec Maps which add Chrome and Roughness to the image.
The template contains layers for RG and B Channels.  They are setup to work in Photoshop which can handle layers in Greyscale.  These layers work in such a way that they merge to make a combination, which doesn't work in GIMPS RGB only way.
However, there is a work around which is to copy the image, make it's mode Greyscale and then Compose the R,G and B channels, adjusting the greyscale to your liking.  We export the file into the program as a TGA.

The Problem is this: If I make a fresh project this process seems to work fine.  However my old projects don't always work, when composing I only see a "Mask Layer" option.  Why is it not seeing the other layers that exist in the XCF file?
Kind Regards,
Rowdy.

don't know if this is acceptable or not, but here we go. I am a very beginner to gimp.  I would like to have someone create a template for me to create spheres with specific colors.  I would pay them of course.  What I am looking for is a template that I can make spheres that all I have to do is type the hex code for a specific color  and a sphere would be created with that color.  I would like it to initially be say 400x400 and I could scale it to the necessary size.   I think I have enclosed the image that I would like to use as a starting point.  I like this sphere because I can add text (in Visual Basic) and it looks good.  Some cololrs I would be using is light coral and light blue among others.  Is this possible?  Thanks
