Those who also use Gimp Chat forum already know me (they are probably thinking Oh, my goodness, what's he doing over here? )  I just thought I would give another forum a chance.

Someone using this plugin with gimp 2.10.24 (windows 10 ) ? : https://sourceforge.net/projects/johnlakgimp/
I copied the files on the usual plugin folder, but I can't find it in the gimp menu. Someone ? 
Thanks in advance.

Hi.

Beforehand, I am not a native English speaker. Please excuse any mistake. I am not a very experienced Gimp user but I used it a lot to modify/improve images. Until now, I did not have any problem and required no help. Most of my work was about getting the best out of photographs for my wife's PhD and the result was very good.
I do now have a problem with technical images that I must redo (very low resolution that must be improved).  I stick to version 2.8 because of brushes (I am no expert and do not want to create a new brush every time).
I need to import the old image as bottom layer, create a new layer and overlay my new drawing. Only problem, nothing is drawn on the new layer and I need advice.

Thanks a lot.

Hello everyone,

Despite my n00b-fu, I managed to get the cover of my humble scribbling the right size. I discussed this issue here.
Suddenly a new problem arose. Normally I have no problem exporting a file as .PDF; but now suddenly some design choices have gone missing.

What it used to look like: https://aviilokinkshi.net/cover4.png
What it looks like now: https://aviilokinkshi.net/5x8COVER.pdf

When I export the file, I had a look at what options Gimp provides for exporting it. I couldn't find anything meaningful; though of course my neophyte eyes are blind.

Kindly and thank you for your guidance,

Immortality

When I try to rotate a pic that has a layer mask, most of the time it's fast until about 3/4 or more into the process and then it freezes. I use the paintbrush to erase about 90% of the pic, leaving only the face. Pics that aren't layer masks don't have this problem. Also when I try to scale the layer mask that many times freezes also. Is there a setting that I can make to make this work better?

Gimp 2.10.24 release 3 running on Windows 10.

I'm having trouble printing to my Epson WF-7720 with Gimp 2.10.24 release 3. I've got Super B (13x19") paper loaded. The image size is set to 13"x19" 300dpi. The print dialog won't go down to 300dpi and the image size won't go up to 13x19 portrait. What am I missing?

Hello everyone,

I need to create a cover for my book.

I set canvas width to 10.4325 inches, but Gimp automatically resizes it to 10.433 inches.

How can I stop this from happening?

One thing I notice is that when I frist insert the size: 10.4325 inches, then accept these values.
Next, I open canvas size again, it is not set to inches but automatically displays the values as pixels. When I then click inches again, I get 10.433 inches. 
Is this thus some type of calculation problem taking place?

Thank you,

Immortality

Hello,

I previously had a GIMP that seemed quite bright to me and I saw everything more
clearly. After the update from openSUSE_Leap_15.2 to now 15.3, the GIMP appears
much darker, so that I have trouble seeing details.

How/where can I change that?

Thanks for hints.

Greetings, WGz

Hi, is it possible to create a brush stroke like this ? The interesting part is that it gives a feel of depth that imitates a real-life brush stroke. Thanks.



If possible, something like this, but a multi colour stroke will be great.

Hello! I've found my images look better when I import an images resolution higher than 100 pix/in. 

What is an optimal setting for importing an image to not lose quality?

thank you!
