Hello, I'm a novice user of gimp and I'm having an issue with the text tool. 

When I try to use the "Centered" alignment of the text tool, it seems to be aligning waaaay to the right. Take a look at the attached screenshot for an example.

I'm assuming there's some setting I've amended by accident. Does anyone have any clues?

Thanks very much.

Hello everyone,

This is my first post, thank you for hosting this forum.
Before I began this thread I have searched the forum (and the Net) for topics/search results that might already have dealt with my question, but I could only find results for Gimp ran on Windows. I run Lubuntu Linux (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, 32 bits [I think]).

First of all, I am a n00b in both Linux and The Gimp . Please take this in consideration. My skill on installing or operating my Linux OS does presently not go beyond performing the sudo apt-get install "x" command. Please bear with me.

I recently saw an article online that demonstrated the life sketch function of the Beautify plugin. I was very impressed and would really like to use it.

The first problem is, is that I could not find the plugin anywhere on the Internet. Perhaps my n00b-fu is at fault here.  I would appreciate a link.
The second question would be, if I could please receive some guidance and advice as how to install the plugin. Taking my n00b-fu in consideration.

Thank you for your  guidance and your patience,

Immortality

Silly, but if one want to put some text art in his design, this could be a help.

Make some text, choose the font, the parameters and the style (gray, white or old school green)
Make a screendump with the text in white style (background) to load it in gimp. (File / Create from clipboard)
To remove the background (if necessary) white in gimp :  Colours / Colour to Alpha
This remind me when I was working on a PC with a Hercules graphics card on a green or amber monochrome monitor.  
   
   

Hi!
Hi designed i simple "shutter" with GIMP, a layer painted with a brush and a level of opacity say of 30% I think. I saved the image in .png so I can import that image in an another program I use to work with gif animations.
I use no one, one or more of this shutter on each gif I work with.

The question is: If I have to remove the effect of the opacity layer I added to the gif animation as part of the workflow and I have the original .gif I can think of materially import in GIMP the original gif and the new one, and work some magic by confronting each and every frame of the two animation, one at the time...never ending story!!

So: There is a system to automate the process with gimp, confronting the new and variously worked gif with the original, maybe applying on the way a mask in small zones so in those zones they stay in the new form?
Thanks for reading me, hope to be enough understandable.

Thanks to all, have a nice day, night etc.

I've got an old Dungeons and Dragons map from I was a kid and I'm trying to remove the drawing/pen (which is black/grey at varying degrees) from the off-white/blue-grid-graph-paper that it was drawn on. What's the best way to go about this?

For a making weird text one can use the 'spacetypegenerator' :
https://spacetypegenerator.com/index.html
One can transform a text with a bunch of sliders and if one is satisfied with the design, one can make a screendump and load it in gimp. (File / Create from clipboard)
To remove the background (if necessary) white or other colors in gimp :  Colours / Colour to Alpha 
By clicking on the 'select button' (top right) one get different generators.
   

The Polar Coordinates Filter sometimes leaves a 1 pixel seam. This often occurs after editing an image which consists of two layers which are merged to one layer. The gap can be avoided by marking the "Map backwards" option. However, this workaround sometimes enforces another correction afterwards. Is there a known approach to handle (i.e. avoid) this 1 pixel seam problem?

Im currently using Gimp 2.10 on macOS Big Sur Version 11.1.

Hello, there! I'd like some help setting an image for a Instagram profile. Everytime I upload it the image get distorted around the white name and the inside picture. I looked for some tutorials on Google and so on, tried some filters but I can't solve it. The image resolution is 1080x1080. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance!

I usually use Gimp to clean up photos of miniatures.
Normally i do the following thing drag and drop the photo into gimp, then click colors, levels and then auto.
There done, maybe do a few corrections here and there, but normally that is it.

Well for some reason Gimp won´t do that anymore.
I have tried opening its as administrator, tried to opening it through files, cutting out the relevant part of the photo and copying it the new page, Reinstalling it nothing helps.
Gimp simply treats my picture as if it isn´t there, anyone know how to fix it?

I am running the latest version of Windows 10.
