I think gimp is using too much memory because of which I'm unable to open any other applications while using gimp. While startup of gimp, it uses only like 80 MB, but as soon as I open any file or image, it jumps directly to 500 MB and from there it only keeps increasing. Is there any way to reduce this without affecting any overall performance of gimp?

Version- 2.10.28.
Windows 8.1 (64 bit)/ 4 Gb of ram.

Images like the hundreds of craters on the moon or a cliff face with thousands of rocks with shadows sometimes look too smooth.
The Artist Filter Cartoon enhances darker areas that are distinctly darker than their neighbours and works but was not made to do this.
Is there another filter or method to darken multiple shadows?

HI all,

I recently played around with some abstract photography. I was in a state of mind that made it difficult to retrace my steps / filters / effects I applied   

I know its a long shot but I thought maybe somebody here has an idea what kind of filters / settings have this effect. Take it as a challenge

I am pretty sure I inverted the colors before applying filters, but like I said I was pretty out of it. I am not even sure if it was a filter specifically or other settings which does not make things easier . All I know for sure that it is definately that photo as I never renamed it, and I used only part of the original (cropped).  

If you do find out you have my eternal gratitude and utmost respect 

Is there a way to prevent Gimp from loading the fonts in the Windows>Fonts folder?  I have removed all the font paths from Preferences but Gimp still reads the Windows fonts.

Is there any way to copy G'MIC Favorites from other machines?

I have a new version of G'MIC and would like to have my Favorites in this new version. What is the most practical way to obtain this transfer?

Are there any files I can copy and paste to get this result?

Thanks in advance.

I am a Gimp new user.  Just curious, downloaded the latest version of Gimp - 2.10.28.  Using Windows 10. Upon installing just Gimp - it runs just fine.  Downloaded the latest version of the GMIC filters 2.10 and am getting an error message upon launch.

Procedure entry point g_memdup2 could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files\GIMP\2\bin\libgobject-2.0-0.dll.

 The GMIC filters do not appear in the Filters tab.  Hoping there is some simple error that I have made.  For your consideration - I thank you.

Hi,

I'm looking for an automated way to scramble a batch of images. 

That is, to automate this process on a folder of images:
1. upload an image
2. slice the image into 9 equal pieces (the images are not in the same size)
3. completely shuffle the pieces order (such that upper left must not stay in upper left) without changing the image size
4. save

I found ways to do step 2, but because my images are not in the same size I don't know how to batch it. 
I Particularly struggle with step 3.

Thanks a lot for your help

Hello admins,

Would you split "Scripting questions" into   "Python" and "Script-Fu"? Any icon for Script-Fu?

Could we have colored syntax for these two languages? How?

Regards.

Is there existing a plugin/script that can shift a gradient by x steps? Let's take a gradient with 256 colors and I want to shift the gradient colors by 2 steps. Then all colors move 2 steps to the right (or left) and colors 255 / 256 become colors 1 and 2.
