The Gimp webp plugin is very adequate. You can export your image and make animations easily although  sometimes a bit slow.  This is about some command line (CL) programs that might come in useful as alternatives.

The webp format does come from Google, their official offerings are here: https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/download
The download provides utilities  cwebp: encoding tool / dwebp: decoding tool / gif2webp: gif conversion tool /  vwebp: webp viewer / webpmux: create and extract anmations   I have to confess that the only one I use regularly is the viewer, vwebp

ImageMagick v.7  (IM) supports webp. There is a page with all the details here: https://imagemagick.org/script/webp.php  Converting an image to webp is as simple as;

hello,

trying to try new fonts of existing text but when selecting new fonts in the side panel dialouge boxes the font is not modified.

Any help?

Thanks!

I am getting error messages from script-fu. 

For example, I opened File-->Create-->Fx-Foundry-->Logos-->Fiery Steel.  When I select the Font box to change the Font I get the following message.

I am trying to draw an offset border (red in the figure) around an object shown in the figure. The offset border should have the same profile as the object. I tried selecting object, creating a border, scaling it however, I couldn't manage to get what I want. Would you help please?

I opened an svg image that I exported with librecad's "export as makercam svg" option and gimp opened the svg with transparent backgroun but an ellipse in my drawing was distorted.
Then I tried librecad's "export as image" option and selected file type as svg. Then I opened that image in gimp. Now the ellipse looks fine but now it opened with a white background as if opening an image, not a transparent background. How can I tell if the second image opened as svg?

Or how can i make the ellipse look regular in the first image?

So i'm making the funny memes and when i open a image as a layer to add it to a other picture it turns black and white. but it won't do it with all pictures for example i have a picture of saddam hussein venting and it is in color but the other picture of saddam hussein is in black and white pls help.

Hello All
I have just downloaded gimp and did a little exploring. I have close all the windows on the screen. I would like to restore to the original start configuration. I have tried and made things worse.
Thank you

I have Gimp 2.10.24 on Ubuntu 21.04
I have set Gimp as the external editor in RawTherapee 5.8 (RT)


When I click the External Edit button in RT, Gimp launches but an error appears "Opening '/tmp/DSC06216.tif' failed: Error opening file /tmp/DSC06216.tif: No such file or directory"

I checked /tmp dir & tif files are generated & user has permission to read/write those files.

I tried setting Gimp prefs for Raw import as Placeholder & RawTherapee, but the result is the same.
I also installed darktable, but no option for import shows up for that in Gimp.

I love this font but I do not love the wavy edges. Is there a way to sharpen it up in gimp?
