  Interface broken
Posted by: lth0ms0n - 02-24-2021, 09:39 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi all, 

I use GIMP to create YouTube thumbnails and have recently noticed a problem with the UI - it seems like it's mis-aligned with the mouse on my Mac? 

I use the software on MacOS 11.2.1 and it's only been like this for the last couple of weeks, although it was around a month since I last used it. 

Not only am I unable to align buttons on the interface with my mouse, when I open an image file, the application locks-up and although the menu bar responds, I cannot do anything with it. 

Has anyone else experienced this behaviour? I can't decide if it's been caused by a software update for MacOS or something else.. I have uninstalled, re-installed and updated to v 2.10.22 (rev 3) - nothing has resolved the problem. 

Can anyone help? The application is currently totally unusable and I can't publish anymore content until I can get around this!

  [trouble] unwanted switching tools Wacom tablet
Posted by: jpvianor - 02-24-2021, 06:14 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (6)

Hi !
New on this forum and came for this trouble, I didn't found any relative threat. But ! I have this probleme on every machines, and with another same tablet.

the problem :

when using the pen, gimp switch randomly to corepen (normal mouse) tool.
sometime it keeps it until I go left, upon tools selection icons, sometimes it switches very quickly between pen/mouse tools.

tried :

  • I already tryed to disconnect mouse, suspecting slow moves could have caused switching the tool for a correct reason.
  • finger touch off

Stuff :
  • Wacom pen&touch (2 differents)
  • problem occurs on multiple computers
  • W10
  • The Gimp 2.10.22
  • logitech mouse (if any know driver problem with)
I also encountered driver and classical trouble causing no pressure sense, every thing works great.

If someone have a trick or working solution, thank you  very much. It's borring me a lot and cause realy long work.

Thanks Smile

  Repeated crashes after working fine for weeks
Posted by: oldserverguy - 02-24-2021, 04:20 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (14)

Windows 10 Pro 20H2 build 19042.804 64 bit, 8 core Xeon, 32 GB RAM.  GIMP 2.10.22   GIMP has been working flawlessly for weeks - the only thing I did yesterday was to use the portable version of MOUSECONTROLLER to make repetitive editing easier.  But MC has to be manually started and I'm not doing that.  Unable to open a file - just crashes out with  dump file.

1) over install - N/C
2) uninstall thru control panel, reboot, reinstall as administrator so all users work - N/C
3) uninstall thru control panel, no GIMP folder in program files,  if search with hidden files on find lots in C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10 - so I'm posting before I just start mass deletes - has 66 files totaling about 475K.  Haven't had to resort to this for a long time.  Dump file available.

Next - this?  Just delete every piece of GIMP I can find on the "C" drive.  Note that I keep all my files on other logical/physical drives so my "C" is only about 70GB of data.

  Selection from Path not working
Posted by: myeyeballsfeellikeboiledeggs - 02-23-2021, 09:21 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi there, I’m very new to Gimp, have only been using it for 2 days. So, I have this one image of a subject and a green screen background, I’m pretty used to separating things from the background with the pen tool in Photoshop then I convert to selection and voilà. But here I have my selection ready and when I click on Selection from Path nothing happens, yes I’m on Design mode, I’ve tried quitting and re-opening gimp, happens every time Sad

Any idea how to fix this?

  Can't Use Pattern Fill
Posted by: Shane45 - 02-23-2021, 09:04 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hello everyone!  My name's Shane and I'm a longtime GIMP fan/user.  

I'm currently using GIMP version 2.10.22 on Windows 10 Home.  

I'm having a bit of trouble trying to paint a pattern onto a round shape that is a solid color.  I select the bucket fill tool, choose one of the patterns built into the program and when I click on the object nothing happens.  There is only one layer to the project and, even though nothing is selected, I would think merely clicking on the shape in the image would fill it.  This is how it used to work.  

Under the "Affected Area" section I've chosen "Fill similar colors." Under the "Finding Similar Colors" section I've ticked "Fill transparent areas", "Sample merged", and Antialiasing.

Again, it's a solid color and a simple shape, yet nothing happens when I click on it with the fill tool.

What am I doing wrong?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Shane

  Unable to cut to a transparent background
Posted by: zguylani - 02-23-2021, 04:12 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hello this is my first post on Gimp-forum and I am a very new user of Gimp.
This seems like an obvious fix but I cannot figure it out for the life of me.
I want to use the fuzzy select tool to cut selections to a transparent background.  I have an alpha channel, but when i cut or delete it cuts to a white background. What am I missing?

I posted the above but now I can't cut or delete at all. I can make a selection, but nothing happens when i cut.

  Specifying varied frame delays, GIF animations
Posted by: rickk - 02-22-2021, 07:20 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

When saving a file as a GIF animation, we are presented with an option to assign a  uniform time delay between frames "where unspecified".

Never really thought about it much, but the other day I was using a video editor to convert an MP4 to a GIF format, and then used gimp to clean up some color issues, and I noticed that the video editor had specified varying time delays between frames.

Is there a proper entry point in Gimp where we can specify  unique time delays specific to a particular frame  when creating GIF animations?

I've looked around a bit, and the only possibility I've found  would be to specify the interval in the  Layer Name, accessed through the  "Edit Layer Attributes" dialog (see red arrow in the linked image)

https://i.imgur.com/VUZ4r94.png

But, that just "feels" oddly non-intuitive, so I was wondering if I'm just missing something more obvious?


The ultimate use I have in mind would be for a looping animation where I want the final frame to persist for a few seconds before resuming the loop.  Of course I realize I could just copy the final frame 30 times and tack it on the end, but I'm hoping there is a more elegant solution that doesn't bloat the file size. 

I've been through the online manual, and if it's in there, I haven't been unable to find it.

TIA

  Selecting multiple photos
Posted by: Gilbert Despeghel - 02-22-2021, 05:23 PM - Forum: General questions - No Replies

Hello to all of you,

I have 3 different exposed pictures , opened in GIMP.
Now I want to select all 3 of them to blend them in the HDR Efex Pro 2 NIK-collection.
As for now I can only open 1 picture in HDR Efex Pro 2...
But I say a presentation on YouTube where someone used HDR Efex Pro 2 to blend multiple exposed pictures...but not in GIMP.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_z-kUyy...nyMorganti

So my question is : Can I select my 3 different expose pictures in GIMP to open them together in HDR Efex Pro 2...?

Thanks in advance,

Gilbert Despeghel
