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.

Best Regards

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?

Is it possible to make a part of the image bulge like in a 3D sticker ? Say there is a sword in the image, can we make it bulge out from the rest of the image ? Thanks.

Is there a tool or plugin to enable manual color transform?
I means, transform color of selected regions numerically, based on fixed formula, or scripting/coding.
For example, in the simplest form, something like out.alpha = in.alpha * 0.75.
In more advanced form, also being able to read nearby pixels or any pixels.

I am getting errors like this on almost all GMIC previews. Brushify shows the preview if it matters. Thanks.

   

I am using default 20.04. I wonder whether it is possible to use the latest GMIC and associated features.

Does a default 20.04 support the latest of GIMP ? I am using an App image suggested through this forum. I currently use @rich2005 provided GMIC, which I was told is a custom one and was added manually. The app image is GIMP + plugins. Thanks.

I recently tried to make a banner. The background was nice, but I guess antialiasing with very visible steps like blocks is really hard to miss. Especially when the image size is not small. Is there anything we can do about this ? Thanks.
