Actually several long duration shots on tripod, loaded together and put in Lighten only mode.

   

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
george

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?

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.
