I wonder if there is an option for paths in gimp that act as the scale a layer option (right click in the layer dock / Scale Layer). The option as here described set the scaled layer in the center of an existing layer, the scale option in the gimp menu (Tools / Transform Tools / Scale) set the scaled layer (path or image) on the left side of an existing layer. I can scale vertical path layers to the left side and then shift them to the right position, but for the project I'm working on it should be easier to scale paths to the center of an exiting layer.

Hi, I have been running GIMP 2.10.24 for some time and have been gradually trying to improve my knowledge of the program. However, an issue I had from the start was that the help did not work. I get this error: "Could not open 'https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-help.xml' for reading: An AppArmor policy prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient; type="method_call", sender=":1.117" (uid=1000 pid=9560 comm="/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/help/help -gimp 15 14 -" label="snap.gimp.gimp (enforce)") interface="org.gtk.vfs.Daemon" member="GetConnection" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.102" (uid=1000 pid=6556 comm="/usr/libexec/gvfsd-http --spawner :1.5 /org/gtk/gv" label="unconfined")"

Yesterday I had a go at resolving this by following the instructions on this page https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ downloading the flatpak program and running it. It did not update things as I had hoped. Instead, as a result, I now have two versions of GIMP, one of which, as above, still has the help not working and also the latest version whose help does work!
Obviously this is not ideal. I do not want to simply remove the older version because it has several settings and brushes etc which I do not want to lose. Similarly, neither do I want to remove the new version, not just because the help works but also for fear that I might also damage the older installation and lose that too!

However, since this morning I considered removing the older version just to see what would happen. I am using Ubuntu 21.04 and unfortunately, although both versions show up as separate icons when I click 'Show Applications', when I look at the 'Ubuntu Software' there is only one icon in there and hence I don't know what will happen if I click 'Uninstall'. I suspect I will lose the snap (older) version, which is what I would wish, but (presumably) I will then have no means of staring the newer (flatpak) version?

So, to summarise, there are two icons in the Application list but only ONE icon for the application removal - which seems to relate to the 2.10.28 version which I want to keep.
If I can just remove 2.10.24 without removing 2.10.28 I will be happy :-)


Please advise - in simple terms - I'm new to this (linux) thing.

I'm no python... at all.
I would like to know if we can write something in python using the "Filters/Map/Recursive transform..." tool, if so what would it be like?
Any reference to this tool using python would be wonderful

Hello everyone, I hope all of you have been well.  Lately, I've been experimenting with designing backgrounds/wallpapers and need to know how to blend? two colors together in an arc shape.

To better describe what I have weakly explained, here:

Example



is an example of what I hope to be able to achieve with Gimp.  This type of meeting of two colors, green and white in this case, is seen everywhere now and I would like to reproduce it.

Hi, I have this image where the background is a white coloured layer I added after fetching the outline from the coin. I am trying to make this impression pure black. But couldn't make it so by using Invert or levels or Curve. It would be nice to have some help with this one. Thanks.

   

Hi everyone

I need to normalize the brightness across pictures/match the luminance across pictures, but I'm really struggling with this.

I managed to download the contrast-normalize zipmap from here and managed to put in the plugins folder of Gimp (via pc --> %appdata%). However, Gimp is still not showing me the Normalize option under Colors -> Auto...

Does somebody know how I can fix this or is there any kind of different solution? I don't even know if it is possible to do such a thing in Gimp across images? One thing that I've also tried is to put the different images on top of each other as different layers of the same image, but I don't know how I would then normalize the brightness across all layers (if this would work, then I could do this and then copy-paste the layers back as different pictures).

Any suggestions are welcome!

Thank you in advance!

How to run BSL Shaders in Minecraft?

Thank you..............

Hi, is it possible to feed Iconify a 256x256 image and then have it resized to 227x179 ( whichever is the biggest 227 or 179 ) and then go on with the rest of the Iconify calculations ?

Currently what I do is create a 256x256px canvas, add the image as a new layer and then scale that layer to match 227 or 179 according to the image proportions. That is what works well with Windows 11.

Thanks.

I All,

Hoping you can help.

I have an image consisting of multiple shapes of a certain colour.  The shapes are separated by empty space. I was wondering if it is possible to gradient fill these shapes as a whole? so the gradient spreads accross all of the shapes?

Looking forward to your replies and some help (hopefully :S)

Thanks
Josh
