Hello there,
I installed GIMP to my HDD (D:) drive but it writes a lot of data to the SSD (C:) drive instead.
Please tell me if there's any method of making it write to HDD instead of the SSD, to increase the SSD's longevity.

What is best practice for exporting images so that they don't look so different from the GIMP view I see before exporting the image?  Usually stick to PNGs and JPGs for exporting.  I have to export equal to or below 80MB and I think less than 200 Megapixels.

Hi,

I have a weird behavior on my Linux installation.
I have  Gimp 2.10.30 and I'm not able to select a part of my image or to crop it.
Icons are available and I can click on them and set a fixed ratio, but when I try to set the fixed ratio or free ration clicking on the image, nothing happen.
I have the same behavior if I use my graphic tablet.


To be clear: mode is in "replace the current selection" not in "subtract"

What's going on ?

thx

Hey all,

I'm trying to cut a single piece out of a full jpg, delete the background, and change the color from black to white. When I select the image and delete everything else the edges come out looking all pixelated.  I was using the square select to remove the big chunks, then I was using the magic wand to select the image I want to save and use the invert select option to remove the background.

The magic wand selects by color, but there is a range of grayscale around the boarder when I delete the bulk of the image.

Any help is appreciated.

I had a search around but couldn't find any conclusive answers to what I'm trying to do. I'm new to the forum, so any help is very much appreciated. 

So, I need to produce patterns for making bicycle frame bags for my work. However not everyone lives local enough to do a physical drawing/pattern. So customers will email me a high res photo of their bike frame with a tape measure or ruler attached to the frame for scale.
My question is, how can I take this image from the customer and then using GIMP, make sure the image is at 1:1 scale and then print it out on multiple A4 pages? Is there even a way?

I'm very new to using GIMP so I'm completely lost at the moment.

If you can point me in the direction of any other topics or videos that may help that would also be great.



Cheers
Patrick

Hey there, 

I would like te recreate this background (or at least the style of it) on Gimp but I don't event know where to begin. Can someone help me ?? 



Thank you very much !!

So i've been having this issue with brush siezes. I want to use the pizel brush in size 2 but it looks just like brush 3. I need a 2x2 bursh not 3x3 or 1x1. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Hi, is there any that we will seriously miss in G'MIC 3.0? I have Windows 10 and I have not updated GIMP or G'MIC in a while. Because thankfully, my workflow is very stable. Do you think I should try the latest GIMP and G'MIC? Thanks.

Have a great 2022

Hi, Rich.  It's that time again.    If you remember, you are the one that fixed/modified G'MIC-Qt for Gimp 2.8 - Linux 64 bits - 2.9.7 and offered it for download so that I could have the latest G'MIC working with the latest AppImage 2.10.25 that aferrero created.

Now that he has quit making AppImage's, I am stuck with 2.10.25.  I don't wish to use Linux Mint 20.2's FlatPak architecture to keep Gimp up to date either.  But, I would very much like to be able to use G'MIC 3.0.0 with the AppImage I have, if that is at all possible and not too much trouble for you to facilitate.

As always, thanks for helping and I'm anxious to see what your answer is or any suggestions as to my best path forward as far as updating Gimp and G'MIC.
