I got a message saying that I already reached the upload limit ( ~ 5MB ). I am not sure this is something that can be adjusted. Thought of asking here. Thanks.

When I try to install, I get the message

Hi!

After reading the post http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=17235#p236448 I decided to try Unicodes with the ofn-text-along-path plugin.
But when trying with unicodes (????????????) an Errors window always appears.

While this window is active, it is impossible to copy and paste any text (ctrl+c / ctrl+v). Neither in the Errors window that appears on the canvas, nor in the Error Console window.

The strange thing is that I tested it with other plugins; intentionally producing errors, and in these error windows that appeared it is possible to copy and paste text messages!  

Unicodes work with the Text tool, and even with the Text Along Path option.

Any idea why the generated errors and the ability to copy and paste are disabled while the error window is active?
   
Thx.

I started playing around with Gimp Painter brushes with the idea of demoing them in another thread but then it started becoming something else.  This was to be the original demo.

   

I increased the canvas size, changed the background,  adjusted some of the forms, added some reflected light and tidied up a bit.  I still don't know exactly what I am going to do with this.

   

I know I have just joined the forum and it is the forum that the titles relate to, but it seems weird having the title "Junior Gimper" in my avatar slot when I have been using Gimp for many years.  I'm not complaining of course, but maybe a more accurate way to describe a forum newbie?

How can I make a skecth to look like it is drawn by pencil?
The sketches are NOT photos or artwork etc... They are simple architectural sketches made of thin lines drawn with a CAD program. I say it because some methods may not work on thin lines like they do on photos or images full of features... Now I want to make them look like they are drawn by hand with pencil.

Hello,
My question is:
I have a layer with transparent parts. I'd like to be able to erase its pixels and later anti-erase them (using the Eraser Tool with ALT pressed) without messing the alpha channel. I don't mean to use UNDO. I typically want to anti-erase because it would be convenient for my workflow. When I lay my "anti-eraser" on parts that were formerly opaque, it's all fine.
But the problem is - when I hit parts that were transparent from the beginning, they get covered with black colour.
This is of course logical, because "anti-eraser" covers alpha channel (removes transparency). But if it's by any smart way possible, I'd like to prevent it. I want the "anti-eraser" to never cover alpha channel more than it was originally. If a pixel had, say, 100/255 alpha value, then it'll never exceed that value, so that I could non-destructively erase anything and then bring it back without losing alpha data.
Maybe there's some clever way to achieve that with layer blending modes or layers masks

   

Unstable Territories is a sculpture from Nicolás Lamas that consists of two pieces of reflective material. He cut out the contours of the European map and assembled the parts so as to form a standing sculpture. It is part of a Triennial of Contemporary Art in Belgium : Beaufort 2021.

I've been using GIMP for a long time processing Astrophotography. I've gotten better at it and now I'm ending up with a 955mb image. Gimp has problems with this size of a picture.  Very slow and crashes. I can't change it to a JPG because I loose the processing power of a RAW image. I'm using 2.10.24 on Windows 10. Any thoughts?

I downloaded MyPaint and Krit after getting a Wacom One tablet. And is slowly getting used to them. But I am using GIMP for so long now that I feel like I will try it until I get myself good enough with any other software.

This set of brushes always looked interesting. I want to take your opinion before trying it. What do you think ? Shall I go ahead with it ? Thanks.
