Gimp 2.10.?? (.20?) slowed down opening pictures in two stages, from fast unless from a folder with very many files, to about two seconds, then several seconds, with no known changes to software or disc space.

Installed 2.10.38 in hope of improvement, but It now takes 20 seconds to open a .jpg, no matter the size (30kb or 3mb) or location.

Windows 10.

Will appreciate any help.

I've lost the box to the left that used to come up with text tool. When I try to change liine spacing in the controls above the text box nothing changes except uselessly adding text layers in the window that does show: does not change the actual line spacing at all. It is using the last line spacing I added which is now creating way too much space between lines than what I want. Do not want to reinstall GIMP because I fear losing the color palettes I've set up. Thanks for any help.

Hello,

Does anyone know why it crashes suddenly?

I want to use it in my script-fu

I have been updating my website_photos1.py plug-in to make it more useful and also as part of my learning exercise.

Is it possible to validate that "Sub Directory" and "New Name" have been entered and if not return the user to the entry screen?
I have been searching for several days to find an example of code to do this, without success.

An additional query: How to put additional lines of text or separators in the UI of a plug-in in order to make it more readable or give explanation.

Running GIMP 2.10.38
I am having trouble using select tools, I suspect because I have done something wrong but I don't know what!

I have attached a screenshot of what I see at startup.  If I hover my mouse over, e.g. Ellipse Select Tool, I see the dropdown list with Also in Group, however I cannot click on any as the dropdown disappears as soon as I mover the mouse.  Also if I choose a select tool I do not see the options that I see in video instructions.

I have gone to Edit > Preferences > Tool Options > Reset to Default Values, restart, but it made no difference.

What am I doing wrong???

Thanks
Mick

Sorry, but could you please tell me?

I want to create a palette called blue using the colors used in an image and then change to indexed color mode based on that palette information, but I'm having trouble.

For example, if there are two colors in a custom palette,

Color A (R100 G100 B100) and Color B (R100 G100 B101),

the color will be automatically converted to one of them.

The following settings should also be fine.

- No dithering
- Uncheck Dither transparent areas

Is there a way to convert the color information in the custom palette without tampering with it?

Hello,

I am new and read some nice posts here so I thought maybe give it a try and ask. For my brother's business I created a logo. I used the vistaprint template to make a business card. Since the card itself should be black, I used a black background layer that I toggled invisible when I exported the png for printing. I created kind of a mirror effect by duplicating the logo layer and making it half transparent, and a soft glow around one element of the logo using gaussian blur. These two effects totally get lost when I do not export the png without the black background layer. The half transparent mirror layer is almost invisible without it, same with the halo effect. I tried checking all the options for export so nothing gets lost but it did not help.
I could just export with the black layer but this will be a problem when we make his work shirts. Does someone know what's going on there and help me please?

Kind regards,
Nio

Hello,

When I map an object as a cylinder and adjust the radius to fit the base image (e.g., a mug), the image stretches. How can I avoid this?
Even if I scale it it will stretch

Not meant for Gimp, but blend modes are common across image editors. Some math insides, but nothing too hard, and nice examples.








 Enjoy.

I would like to give those who are interested an example of different productions from the same image merged with a pleating base (already seen, but with slight modifications which multiplies the possibilities). The initial image is a transformation of a photo of a rose that I called "Imaginary Lagoon". 
In a post I cannot give all the details of the process, but I will be able to answer a few questions, if anyone wishes.

First, the Imaginary Lagoon 
   

Then:
1. merged in LCH color
   

2. merged in HSV saturation green
   

3. merged in HSV saturation blue
   

4. merged in soft light with green modified
   

5. merged in grain merge, finally the least sucessful in my opinion
   


I don't know if this post will interest anyone, but I'll see you soon
