I'd say I need to add a new black layer about 75% of the time I'm adding a new layer.  So it always struck me as a little odd that you get presented with several default options, but "black" isn't one of them.

All I'm after here is a way to add "black" as a default option so I don't have to sacrifice either my chosen foreground or background color to get it done.

Hello! Any tips on how to brighten the background only in a portrait? I have tried several techniques but it has ended up choppy each time. Thanks in advance!

This plugins tries to emulate someone hammering a pen on a paper to create hand-made stippling. Basically it converts a luminance map into random paintbrush strokes:

   

   

• this script tries harder to be luminosity-accurate
  
• this script is somewhat faster
  
• this script is is not as resource intensive (RDM blows the undo stack to gigantic proportions)
  
• RDM has some more functionalities
  

I tried many times but very bad quality when I try to add a box with the text. I have solved using WORD file and write a text with the COPY/PAST within GIMP image. How to solve text as it seem an issue with the resized text and vector behavior. Text is bad quality even used original fonts. Word file has very good quality. Can be improved text quality inside GIMP or I can use another options?

You can see WORD text and ERGO marked text within GIMP. It is distinctive difference. Should we use AI format to use text or there is an option?

Hey folks,

I'm using Gimp 2.10 and have the problem that a modification doesn't take effekt.

I created a text field (which is created automatically as a separate layer) with a specific text.
Then I wanted to change the contrast of the text/layer. In the contrast window I get the preview of how the "new" text will look like.
However when clicking on the "OK" button, the modification is withdrawn and the old text remains.

What could be the reason for that? And what could be done to get this issue fixed?


I'd be grateful for every hint!


Kind regards,
X3nion

Hello!
Why when accessing: ➤ Help - Plug-in Browser and typing luminosity or even ofn-luminosity there is no return from this search for the plugin Ofn-luminosty-masks?

I have other plugins with that name and they all show up when I do this search, except Ofn-luminosty-masks.

Ok, I know where this plug-in is, that's not the case, it's more out of curiosity than a real need.
I found that all plugins could be found through this search.

What would be the explanation?

Thx.

I hate this program. It's so bad. Why can I no longer erase when zoomed in?>!?!?

What is this stupid program doing?!

Just like the title says. I click to launch GIMP and it either appears to do nothing or it flashes the title screen and starts loading stuff then quits after a second or two.

So far, I have:

• Restarted my machine.
  
• Uninstalled and reinstalled, with and without Revo Uninstaller.
  
• Manually renamed my GIMP folder in AppData.
  
• Manually deleted my GIMP folder in AppData.
  
• Manually deleted all GIMP folders in AppData.
  
• Re-downloaded the installer.
  
• Done all of the above, AFAIK, in all combinations.
  

• GIMP 2.10.24
  
• Windows 10 Pro 19043.1165
  
• Asus ZenBook 13, 12Gb
  

In a nutshell: My #1 source of irritation right now when it comes to navigating Gimp is the fact that I have to make the edit window active whenever I want + and - to zoom in/out.  Beyond being a redundant gesture (mouseover should 100% suffice), it's typically a legitimate problem, as I lose keyboard focus on whatever else I happen to be trying to do at the time—effects, punching in values for the selection, picking colors, etc.  And if my selected tool isn't benign, I'll end up making an edit which I must then undo.

Is there a way to either force Gimp to obey mouseovers, or cause - and + to reliably zoom at all times?
