I can't find any solution on the Internet.  Everything used to work a few weeks ago, now half of the tools won't work.  

Works:  
- move
- select tools
- crop
- scale tools
- paint bucket tools
- text tool
- colors

WON'T WORK:
- pencil, paintbrush, etc
- eraser
- clone
- smudge

I've followed all the recommendations I could find.  It's in RGB mode.

I'm stumped

Hello! 

I was wondering if there was a way to increase the brush image previews? I've uploaded a picture of the problem here :
https://ibb.co/Tw3hyQr

Thank you for your time!

Periodically, I open GIMP and it looks like the toolbox is missing. But on closer look, a little sliver of it is sticking up above ... is it 'tool options'? The top row is actually usable if I can remember which icon is which.

I know I can get it back following Edit > Preferences > Interface> Window Management > Reset Saved Window Positions to Default Values, and then exiting and restarting GIMP (and moving and resizing the window back), but every couple of days it's becoming tedious/frustrating.

Any ideas?

   

Is it possible to shrink a selection to, for example, 1px width without the selection disappearing in the thinner areas?

Let me give you an example. In the image below, I have selected the "walls" at the edges of this map, shrunk that selection slightly and converted it to a path (in green). The problem is that when I convert it to a path, what I'd like is to instead have a single line through the middle of those walls, instead of two bordering the selection. But if I shrink it too much, some parts of the selection will completely disappear and I think that even if I managed that, the selection to path tool would create two lines anyway bordering the selection.

Perhaps a better question would be, can I create a path from a selection by filling in that selection instead of using the borders for the path?


Thank you!

Hello fellow Gimp users

I'm wondering if anyone can help me by recommending a drawing tablet for Gimp?  I'm using Windows 10 and the latest version of Gimp.  Does anyone use the Kamvas 13?  I've seen mixed reviews online with some saying it doesn't work with Gimp.

Thank you for any recommendations 

I was wondering if there was a plugin for Gimp similar to the Notes of Paint plugin for Photoshop by denis154. Or something on that end? Anyone know?

I was trying to quickly change the attached image file so that the whole background of this woman's head was fairly consistently light coloured.

I am trying to make the left hand side of the background (mostly dark brown and black) on the .xcf image of a woman in the attached file, stella_19apr.xcf [1] look roughly similar to the right hand side of the background (mostly pale pink/brown). To do this, I

1. Used the color picker to select a a pale brown/pink colour on the right-hand side, then

2. Tried to bucket fill some of the regions on the left-hand side.

But the bucket kept filling these areas with very dark brown or black and not the pale pink/brown I thought I had selected.

Could anyone tell me how I could fix this or begin to diagnose this problem?

(I can also see that in that image, I had used the eraser in an attempt to define a clear boundary between her hair and the background. This was how I was trying to prevent the bucket-filled pale brown/pink colour from flowing into the hair, but that is beside the point, here.)

Thank you for your attention.

i'm indexing an illustration with a 72 color palette.
The palette has a lot of colors covering well the color spectrum of the input illustration.
So I would expect to see all colors well associated after indexing.
Instead some of them turn very much despite the palette was equipped with colors very close to them.
An important example is light blue in attached files

Does anyone know any way to convert my raw images so I can edit and gimp as well as preserve the quality?

Thanks

Hi Ofnuts i'm trying to use your Replace-colormap but i get this error:

  GIMP Errore
Plug-in "ofn-replace-colormap.py"
(C:\Users\rnode1\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins\ofn-replace-colormap.py)
attempted to install procedure "temp-procedure-number-8" with invalid parameter name "num colors".

  GIMP Errore
Errore di chiamata per la procedura "gimp-palette-get-colors":
La procedura "gimp-palette-get-colors" è stata chiamata con il valore "(null)" l'argomento "name" (#1, tipo gchararray). Questo valore è fuori limite.

I do following steps:
- indexing using a 24 color palette
- select new 24 palette from right panel
- Menu Color > ReplaceColorMap
error!

What i'm wrong? sure i'm missing some step
Thank you
