I am trying to import Canon R5 CR3 files into GIMP - my understanding is I needed to install the newest Rawtherapee 5.8 plugin (which I did).

When I try the import into GIMP all I get is a giant white square with no picture.

So I tried opening Rawtherapee directly - the preview thumbnails look great - but when I click on one it also becomes just a white rectangle.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting I have to set?

Also - what is the best method - directly pulling into GIMP using the Rawtherapee plugin or using Rawtherapee itself as a stand-alone and exporting it as a TIFF and then importing that into GIMP? I want to retain as much data from the RAW file as I can.

Thanks in advance

   
    Hi - can anyone help? I don't know what the names of these Gimp parts of the toolbox are called that I've circled in red.  Does anyone know how to make the Font and the Mode & Opacity boxes larger, like you can enlarge the tool icon sizes and the interface themes found in preferences. I use them a lot and they are so small I keep adjusting them the wrong way with the mouse. I read somewhere a thread on this subject from five years ago but it didn't seem to have a clear answer. Has someone found how to make them larger since then, please?                Charles.

I have a collection of png images that are rendered for an animation. I need to crop them down to 1920x1080, and need to be able to do it as a command that gets automatically executed when my image rendering is completed.

I'm not sure if there is a straight-forward way to simply run Gimp with options to take advantage of the built-in cropping, or if there is some reason that a separate script is required. 

I have been searching for the solution to this, but haven't been able to find something that works. It is difficult to know if the things I am finding are outdated or not. I did find a batch-crop scm that apparently should do it, but I get an error trying to run it. I've never used a Gimp script, so I may just be using it incorrectly.

I had an artist make me a drawing in pencil. She scanned it in and created a png file of it in photoshop. I opened it in Gimp and accepted the default conversion.  When it opens, it looks like it should on the screen.  But when i print it out, it prints in shades of blue instead of grey.  When i open it in windows picture manager and print it on the same printer, it prints properly (shades of grey).  Is there something else i need to do to get Gimp to print it appropriately?  My apologies, as I am very new to Gimp.

TIA!

Hi,

First time user here and pretty new to Gimp.

I have a bit of a perplexing problem.
I have created an object with a transparent background, which I want to paste against other backgrounds.

When I paste him as a new layer over a solid color, such as magenta, he looks fine.

But when I paste him over a complex background, such as a park, he looks semi-transparent! In other words, the background is showing through the pasted object.
The opacity of the pasted layer is at 100%.

I had made a similar cutout  of a different pose and pasted him on another background without this problem.

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?


Please help! I need to get this done today!

New to Gimp and have search for, including a Youtube that will solve my dilemma for the easiest way to do it.
I have gone through the process of removing a background of a picture using Gimp Workshop and saved as a .PNG file.
There are a couple of items missing that were covered by a another object, but I have the said objects in another picture file that is exactly what I need.
Could someone steer me to the best tutorial, or youtube vid. that explains the way to remove from one and paste into the first.
I can't seem to find a decent description or preferred way of removing the object from one file and placing in another.
I have the copy of the Ultimate GIMP Guide 2.10.
Sorry for the newbie question.

HI everyone, I'm trying to make a solid black bar at the bottom of a layer to use as a backgrond for text. I'd like the black bar to fade out vertically, but I can't find a way to make a nice smooth fade. I've tried using the Graident tool but the fade out is much too sudden, not a nice gradual fade.

I want to then save that as a project so I can just add in new images and text.

Can anyone help?

TIA

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.
