Is there any function in gimp 3 python which replaces layer.get_pixel_rgn(0, 0, layer.width, layer.height) ? I tried but this function is not working.

i'm new to image manipulation and I stumbled upon Gimp. Is there a beginners guide for mac users? The official manual has illustrations which are different from what i am seeing. I suspect that is because I am using a mac and the illustrations are on a PC and of course there are other differences, such as key shortcuts.

I'm trying to change the baselines of lines of text to bring the lines closer together. I can't tell if something is glitching w the text editor or what...But I can't seem to bring lines of text closer. For example:

I want
to make
these lines
tighter

Imagine squashing this stack of text so that there is less space between each line! That's what I need to do.

Help?

Thanks!

Hello, i'am a newbie ( and a dummy).
I have a small experience in python scripting ( 3d cad Rhinoceros), no experience with Gimp. I would make a script to made a mosaic of tiles. For this i need to do several times this loop:

import a jpg picture as layer
move  it in a specific position
crop it whit a rectangular selection
verify that the layer is in the right position in the stack of the layers.

I tried to visit some sites and the posts in this Forum, but I was not able to have a general idea of the classes and the methods and the procedures to load , show , move and crop a picture.

May I have some help'?

Hello everyone,

i have decided to take the step and leave Windows for good and use linux also in my professionial work as a graphics designer. As i understand it, GIMP is the software to replace my Photoshop that i am using under Win.

GIMP looks great and feels good, but when i open files with layers and change between them it always takes a while till the chosen layer has been built up. Since the layers are one of my most-used features this is a bit annoying. This occurs also under windows and also under very strong processing units.

Has anyone experience with this. Am i the only one who gets disturbed by this? Is GIMP simply that much slower than PS? I just don't think so. This held me away from professionally using LINUX and GIMP since 5 Years and now i decided to just ask. Maybe there can be something done about it.

My files are rather large (600dpi) and they must be since they are designed for offset-print. And the have a lot of layers. Up to 50 sometimes and more.

Okay, i hope there is no one annoyed by my question since i am really looking forward to use open-source as a profesional.
Greetings and thanks in advance
Heinrich

Hello,

Show Mercy upon me, as far as being a programmer, I am Not.  Relatively new Gimp user, been Photoshopping for years.  Opened Gimp today, it said there was an update available, without  hesitation - updated it to version 2.10.24.   Downloaded the gmic_2.9.6_gimp2.10_win64 files.  Found a YouTube video with an English gentleman that instructed how to install the 2.10 version of the GMIC files.  Tried installing them per the video, no luck.  Was getting an error message while opening Gimp.

"The procedure entry point g_memdup2. could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\ligbobject-2.0-0.dll"

Tried uninstalling, restarting the machine, and deleting the versions I had installed without success.  Even tried a Windows system restore to a checkpoint before today, but the newest 2.10 version was still in my program folder, so no dice.  Was hoping I could find the older version of Gimp that I had, but did not succeed.  Tried a couple solutions I found on the web, but my lack of coding skills likely sent that over the transom.  Praying there's a simple solution.  For your consideration, I thank you.

Gimp version 2.10.24 now available.

Some of the changes:

GIMP 2.10.24 is mostly a bug fix release, which once again comes mostly with file format support improvements.

Quote:Release highlights:

Off-canvas point snapping
GeoTIFF metadata support (georeferencing information embedded within a TIFF file used by map makers)
Many improvements in the metadata viewer and editor
Many file format supports improved: HEIF, PSP, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, DDS, BMP, PSD
New “Negative Darkroom” operation to simulate enlargement prints from scans of photographic negatives.
The RAW image import now handles darktable 3.6 and over
New Kabyle translation

Hi all!
I noticed two errors in my Event Viewer regarding Schannel with Event ID 36887, one with error:
Fatal alert received: 40
and the other one with error:
Fatal alert received: 70

After some investigations, I discovered they seem related to Gimp: I get those errors whenever I start Gimp, but, oddly enough, in the computer in which I noticed them first, I also get them at boot.

I'm running Gimp 2.10.22 on Windows 7 64 bit.

I also tried to install Gimp 2.10.22 on another machine with Windows 7 64 bit and I get the same error, but only with code 40 and only when I start Gimp, but not at boot.

I don't have the same errors on a machine with Windows 10 64 bit.

I made some searches, but I haven't well understood the meaning of those errors. Perhaps Gimp is trying to connect to some server to find updates?

Did anyone notice those errors, too?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am not sure this is the right place to ask. How do you meet your Flipbook needs ? Is there any FOSS software to do it ?

I need it sparingly, 2-3 books at the maximum. If there is any safe and reliable option, do share. Thanks.
