Hello Everyone,

I have been using Gimp 2.10.18 on a Kubuntu 20.04  (Ubuntu 20.04 with KDE) system.

I have a 757 kB pdf file that I would like open with high resolution.
After a given high resolution (e.g. 6000 dpi) I am getting the following error message:

Calling error for procedure 'gimp-image-insert-layer':

Procedure 'gimp-image-insert-layer' has been called with an invalid ID for argument 'layer'.
Most likely a plug-in is trying to work on a layer that doesn't exist any longer.

I understand that the theoretical resolution limit is 65535 dpi, and I can increase the required max memory that Gimp uses.
(In this implementation, if the image requires more memory than set in the preferences, the system simply just asks for it for me to agree.)

Any way to open such a file with high resolution?

Thanks, Peter

Hi

I'm trying to do some basic photo modification but I'm hitting this problem with the "Feather edges" option for the select tools where it's leaving transparent gaps. What I'm doing is:

1. Use the free select tool with feather edges turned on to select a foreground object from a photo
   
2. Cut and paste the selection to a new layer, leaving a transparent hole in the original
   

Hi,

Does someone know how to do a transparent background which stays transparent in Viber ?

Thanks.

Hi, am using W10 operating system. I can't find older saved .gimp files. Will only show recent files. Can you help please.

I would like to clean my GIMP up
Especially all the "FX_foundry" (absolutely useless for me and most of them are not working), and the "video" as you can see in the screenshot (same i never use it)

   

The thing is how to not mistaken them with plugins that I am using like few in the script-fu menu or other part in the menu?
Is there something in GIMP that have them listed with their file name with corresponding name in the menu with a delete option? (a bit like plugin-browser/procedure browser)
or any suggestion

Hi there, newbe here.

I have been using GIMP for a couple of weeks now an am very pleased with my experience so far. I especially like the animated brush feature. Unfortunately I am getting some issues with it. Some custom animated brushes I set up for random scatter get very annoying artifact around the edges. I suspect they might have something to do with the alpha channel?

I am using GIMP 2.10.28 on a Win10 64bit PC and imported .png files I created in Photoshop to generate the animated brushes. As you can see in the attachment, the random scattered apples have these artifacts all around, while the coins I created earlier look just fine. Is there some option or knowledge I am missing? I really like the use of animated brushes and would be grateful for any help.

Thanks in advance
Jan

Hello All

I am new here, quite new to Gimp.

Is there anyway to alter the setting of the Calendar plugin?

It works fine, but is right on the edge of the paper.

I can not see how to make it srink a little.

Only thing  I can think is make the page small than I really want then insert that into another size?

Thanks

New to forum first post.

Is it possible to edit free select while in progress or after?  During a detailed tracing sometimes I make an errant click.  Is there a way to back out of the last click and then continue without the last error?  Or is there a way to edit the selection after it is complete?

I can do this with the path tool.  There are a couple of things I prefer with the free select tool.   While tracing with free select I can see the last line as I go.  With path the line doesn't appear until after I set the last dot.  Also with the path function the dots are too big and can obstruct my view making it difficult in detailed areas.

Hi again
I have been trying to help out a friend who wants to paint a car (A "Rod") he is building. Not sure what colour he will end up with, but white is in the mix. I have taken a photo of it and have tried changing the existing scheme to other colours to show him some scenarios using Hue Saturation method. Have searched on the web for how to paint it white but cannot find anything. Can this be done?
Regards

Hello there,

Gimp doesn't seem to retain neither alpha or channel information on PDF exports. 

I didn't find any way to export PDFs with transparency. I checked it by opening it after export on Gimp and Photoshop. 
I also would like to add a "white" channel (for undercoat printing) to the very same file and when exporting to PDF, the channel simply disappears when reopening it in Gimp or opening it in Photoshop.

Is there a solution to both of these problems?

Note: The end format MUST be PDF, I can't use any other file formats.

Thanks in advance for your answers,



EDIT: I would need to do this with TIF files too. TIF is OK with transparency but not channels
