A multi-page tagged image format (tif / tiff) becomes undeletable in Windows. Apparently it is the embedded thumbnails in the tif file which screws up Windows Explorer.

The best solution from the Gimp developers is prevention. Export the tif file with thumbnails disabled. Untick the thumbnails option.

   

What can you do if you have an "undeletable" tif file. Not straight forward in Windows for any undeletable file
1. Right click in the task bar to open Windows task manager.
2. Locate  Windows Explorer and End Task.
3. Use the file option  
4. Open a command shell
5. Find and delete the tif file(s)
Get the desktop back using File -> Run New Task -> explorer.

   


A 5 minute video going through that. https://youtu.be/B_jKnaWFXCQ





Spot the mistake at the end I deleted the wrong file. Should have been thumbnail.tif file. Always be careful.

Do not be put off by your Windows computer black command shell, I changed the colours to make it easier to see in the video.
The commands used 
cmd - starts the command shell
cd is change directory (directory = folder) 
cd.. (cd-dot-dot) is go up one level
dir (directory listing)
dir *.tif filters out the tiff files
del (delete) as del filename.tif

I'm trying to use python-fu in GIMP. I would like pdb.file_glob to return an array of image files in the format I specify. I tried:

Hello !

I'm trying to reproduce that type of black and white with GIMP : https://64.media.tumblr.com/3e9799783df3...607478.png

It's more complicated than I tought. I think this picture may be realised with photoshop but perhaps I can do the same with GIMP ?

I tried a lot of things but now I don't know what to do. I can't find any tutorial on the internet.

Thank you in advance !

The software GIMP failed to load large gif. When I loaded the gif in GIMP, most of the frames became transparent/nothing. The number of frames is 1905

What happened? How can I fix this?
I am using a Windows 10 laptop.
By the way, this below is the link to the video:

Please help me.

Hello:

  I've been trying to figure out how to blend the edges of a G'mic generated annular steiner chain with round tiles. I've tried feathering by creating a channel selection then inverting it- didn't work.  I then tried a gradient and that didn't work; blurs (gaussian, etc.) affect the whole image and I simply want to blur the edges of the round tiles (circles).

I'm using gimp 2.10 on win 8 64bit. 

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi-

I am trying to isolate my dog in my project but I forgot to add the alpha channel. I tried creating a new image so I could select and past the dog in but when I do a fuzzy select I cant get it to select the dog or the white so that I can invert it.

Thx

Hi-
When I use any of the masks they no longer leave the little gray dotted mask outline like they used to on Osx. I am running the latest version GIMP 2.10.14 on the latest version of OSx. When I run Gimp on my Surface Pro with windows 10 I do see the mask outline as expected.  

Has anyone experienced this or have a fix?

Thx

Hi,

I am trying to put some "spikes" on the edge of a circle.  You can see I have tried to do it manually.... and you can see where my skill is at :-)    I got some info and found this, but need a little help to finish this off.

Which of the path-wave effects I should use?  I have tired a bunch of tings and just can't seem to figure it out.  I got close with ellipse 20, 40k, none, 0.  What would be the best effects to achieve this?

Then it should be a simple fill.  Thanks in advance any/all help.
