Good day
I want to know if there is a  tutorial on how to make flip clock, or is there one that I can use. 

For example take this original image: https://i.imgur.com/ud3kX6Y.png
Compared to this: https://i.imgur.com/tTptnwm.png
I didn't edit it in any way or change any settings yet whenever I export it, it gets darker making it easier to see artifacts and overall making it unpleasant to look at.
GIMP version 2.10.22 Windows 10

I created a rectangle that was to large and filled it in with the color white and placed text in the box. I clicked out of the rectangle tool and onto another tool, but now want to decrease the size of the rectangle box. Instead of having to re-draw the rectangle I would just like to make it smaller by re-sizing it.

How can done this best be done.

Gimp 2.10

Not a tutorial. Some notes on using Openshot video editor for transitions. Openshot has lots of various effects but it is not really made for producing small frame sizes suitable for Gimp. It is possible.

You need to make your own 'output profile'. There is guidance in the Openshot documentation. As an example for a 200x200 animation. Set your own width / height to suit your project. It is a simple text file and goes in the Openshot profile ~/.openshot_qt/profiles folder.

Hey there. Hoping someone with more GIMP knowledge can help me out.

I'm essentially trying to have an animated gif be at the top of an invite for a party I'm throwing. So the top where the gif is, is animated, and the bottom lower half is stagnant text and party details. Kinda just figured I'd alter the canvas size, and write up something on the bottom half, but when I did that and exported it I get the attached message. I'm sure there's an easy solution out there, since changing the dimensions of an animated gif doesn't seem like an abnormal thing. Maybe just copying all the frames to a larger sized layer from the get go? But I don't know how to do this. Definitely a noobie with GIMP.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, can we add effects between images while creating a GIF ? Something like Fade ? I wonder whether there is any GIF effects plugin available. Thanks.

I have something like the smiley list we have here, but a PNG with transparent background. ie, other than the icons ( here smilies ) everything else is transparent. Is there any method to extract these icons (around 6 ) with minimal steps instead of cropping them out one by one ? Thanks

A new plugin. My try on simplifying paths. If Gimp already has a tool for that job, I hope somebody tells me.

The problem is hard, and all I can say is that mostly the plugin works all right though sometimes its decisions seem strange. Anyway, this is the first published version, and we can think the plugin to be still just experimental, so there is room for improvements. To get the plugin, go to

http://kmarkku.arkku.net/Path_modify_fil...aster.html

scroll to the bottom, and click the download button. You get a zip file. Unzip it and place the one file it contains (simplify_path.py) in your user's plug-ins folder. Then (re)start Gimp. To use the plugin: in the Paths tab, right-click the path you want to simplify and follow the links Tools > Modify path > Simplify.

The plugin takes a path and tries to diminish the number of anchors, doing some smoothing but hopefully not too much. An example: On the left you see a path and on the right its anchors:

   

With default input values the plugin did the following: Below, on the left you see the original path (blue) and the simplified version (red) on top of each other. It may be difficult to see from that picture but there are small differences: many small bends were smoothed out. On the right you see the anchors of the simplified path.

   

The GUI looks as follows:

   

I hope the meanings of the inputs are clear enough.

Of the inputs the last one (about selection) may be the most important in practice. It enables the user to restrict the effect to some subset of the anchors. I shall give examples in another post.

The plugin is based on a neat mathematical idea (I think), but unfortunately, when one starts to implement a neat idea, it usually happens that soon one is in the middle of a mess. The plugin is full of my own ad hoc solutions to various problems. Please report if you find it doing something too odd.

This is the Pixelise tool shown in the documentation for 2.10 here: gimp 2.10 pixelise tool help

But I can't find this clipping option for this tool in gimp 2.10 for windows 10 x64 or 2.99 for win10 x64.

Am I missing something? Does the documentation show some features that don't exist yet? Is this only available on different platforms?

It looks really ugly having semi-pixels at the edges of the selection.

Anyone knows where to find this script : https://patdavid.net/2013/04/getting-aro...e-channel/
The link that is mentioned give error 404, script not available.
If someone find a working link, thanks in advance.
