Is it possible to have the selection extend outside of the canvas?

In some of my plugins I have the following situation: The plugin works on a path. I want to restrict the effect to some part of the path. For this I use a selection. But a path can go outside of the canvas. Does this mean that anchors outside of the canvas cannot be chosen using a selection?

Hi, I heavily depend on Filters > Edge Detect > Difference of Gaussians (legacy ) to convert images into line art. During the last couple of days ( perhaps a week ), whenever I use this option, the output is a blank canvas.

Then I tried to use bede plugin which worked fine for Artistic > Comic Book for 2.10. Sadly, I am getting this error now

Hi,

I'm a novice in Gimp, so, sorry if the question is too dumb.

I added a layer in Gimp. After I clicked the hide layer button, the layer is vanished but what remains is something with black and white squares as shown in the image below. I want it to vanish, too i.e I want a complete blank background.

Thank you.

   

   

I installed resynthesizer and bimp. Additionally I installed some brushes and fonts. I also installed AppImage for Gimp. On Monday evening I got everything running. Yesterday resynthesizer was gone but the rest was still there. My gimp crashed several times today. Suddenly resynthesizer was running but my installed fonts, brushes and bimp were gone. They are still in the folders they should be in but somehow gimp has forgotten them. I have the latest version of gimp running under linux unbuntu 20.04. Has anyone an idea what happened? I don't get it.

Total noob: Someone on discord thought I could do this and how would i do it if it can be done.

Can I import a jpg or dds and export as a png with an accompanying  jason file?
The actual dds would be this when done      .PNG.DDS   ( I guess this really is a .dds with .png in it?   (its the format of textures in MSFS 2020)
and the jason file would be this:       .PNG.DDS.json

Thanks,
BobM.

I've got an image that I created for a wallpaper that's displaying a few white pixels at the top of my screen. It's not my monitor, as it's displaying other images just fine. The image in question isn't showing any issues while in GIMP...and the color at that point is the default black. Any ideas as to what might be going on? So far I've exported it as a png and a jpg. Both are displaying the same error.

A few days after I released the stable version of SLOS-GIMPainter, my Twitter account was unexpectedly restricted!

I didn't post any inappropriate news, and I don't know what happened! My Twitter account is restricted!

Is there a script or plugin that enlarge the canvas size (red dotted lines) to a size (boundaries) including the pixels outside (when 'show all' is activated) ? After rectifying a photo sometimes there is some information not visible and I have enlarge the canvas size manually but getting the result by a click would be preferable. Thanks in advance for the answer.

Hi, I was suggested to use " Bloom " for the glow effect in one of the threads here. Sadly when I tried Bloom today on a few images with small red and green lines on it ( the rest is black ), there is no glow effect. I am not sure what went wrong. Can we use any layer and apply Bloom to it ? Or, is there any specific condition that needs to be met ? Thanks.

Hello,
What does "save IPTC data" mean, when exporting as jpg? Do you recommend it? What happens if we do not check it? it is unchecked by default.
