Hi,

I've been using Gimp for years but just started having problems printing jpeg.

If I go to print preview it fires up okular pdf viewer and apparently the file is jpeg wrapped in pdf.

If I go straight to print , I select landscape for this image, and I need to expand about 125% to get best use of paper.

However when it prints , it misses off the left ( now bottom ) of the image and leaves white paper above it. Again it looks like it is embedding the jpeg in pdf and then this is what is scaled including the white space at the top ( which in not part of my image but padding of the jpeg into ( I imagine ) a default pdf A4 "page".

image props tells me it is 2700 × 2068 pixels jpeg

linux file command also confirms as jpeg:

Quote:JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01, resolution (DPI), density 72x72, segment length 16, comment: "Created with GIMP", baseline, precision 8, 2700x2068, components 3

when I want to edit a layer/slice of an image I sometimes get a dotted window exactly around the part I want to edit and sometimes a window so large that the edges are far out of the screen.
I would always want a window exactly around the part I want to edit.
I don't understand what determines this?

I am using Gfix to create stars.

When I click and drag to size the star it creates multiple stars instead.

On a related note, when I change the number of points; it creates multiple stars in that pattern instead.

If I click and drag quickly and use a very short movement, I can get one star created but they are all then of the same size.

The star points is stuck at a five pointed star right now. 

Any help with this issue? 

Thanks...

Hi, It would be nice to know how to make a text effect like this. I mean, I can simply make the text and use some brush + erase. But how to make / find the right horizontal stroke brush ? Or is it something different from what I am thinking ? Thanks

This brush is useful

I have a pic. It's low resolution and I wonder if I can improve it so you don't see the pixel squares when zooming in. Can this be smoothed out?

Hi, I have just downloaded Gimp 2.10 but when opening the program it is shows squares with numbers inside, instead of letters/text.  I am using a MacBook Air 2020 running MacOS Big Sur 11.4

I presume this is a font issue, how best do I resolve this. 

Thanks

Hi guys. Ive recently started using Gimp to design flyers.
I made a Poster which turned out great, I’m currently designing a timeline banner to go with it, I need to shrink an image to roughly 300x300 pixels so it fits on the banner but every image I use distorts.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I meticulously followed this video. Wrote down every step
https://youtu.be/JW_siMWqnr4
and applied the technique to a couple of B&W.jpg images. Worked fine. Was able to apply skin tones, hair tone  etc as in the video.

Today I try another couple B&Ws. I get as far as ready to paint the first layer (skin tone) but nothing happens. I wipe the brush over the image and it stubbornly stays B&W.

Went over the video again and over my notes. And redid from scratch again. No go.

I then reloaded one of the earlier xcf images that worked before (still unfinished)
Same thing. Paintbrush does nothing.  Newly created palettes make no difference.

I re-installed GIMP just in case. Nope Same dead end. 

Completely baffled!

Hello,
I have a text file with 1,000 names separated by a newline char, I need to grab each name print it on a template, and save the image, I was wondering if there is any script available. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello i placed the "ofn-path-to-shape"-extension into the folder, where gimp wants it´s plugins to go and used "refresh scripts" under "script fu".
Where is this extension now, that i can use it?
