Hello this is my first post on Gimp-forum and I am a very new user of Gimp.
This seems like an obvious fix but I cannot figure it out for the life of me.
I want to use the fuzzy select tool to cut selections to a transparent background.  I have an alpha channel, but when i cut or delete it cuts to a white background. What am I missing?

I posted the above but now I can't cut or delete at all. I can make a selection, but nothing happens when i cut.

When saving a file as a GIF animation, we are presented with an option to assign a  uniform time delay between frames "where unspecified".

Never really thought about it much, but the other day I was using a video editor to convert an MP4 to a GIF format, and then used gimp to clean up some color issues, and I noticed that the video editor had specified varying time delays between frames.

Is there a proper entry point in Gimp where we can specify  unique time delays specific to a particular frame  when creating GIF animations?

I've looked around a bit, and the only possibility I've found  would be to specify the interval in the  Layer Name, accessed through the  "Edit Layer Attributes" dialog (see red arrow in the linked image)

But, that just "feels" oddly non-intuitive, so I was wondering if I'm just missing something more obvious?


The ultimate use I have in mind would be for a looping animation where I want the final frame to persist for a few seconds before resuming the loop.  Of course I realize I could just copy the final frame 30 times and tack it on the end, but I'm hoping there is a more elegant solution that doesn't bloat the file size. 

I've been through the online manual, and if it's in there, I haven't been unable to find it.

TIA

Hello to all of you,

I have 3 different exposed pictures , opened in GIMP.
Now I want to select all 3 of them to blend them in the HDR Efex Pro 2 NIK-collection.
As for now I can only open 1 picture in HDR Efex Pro 2...
But I say a presentation on YouTube where someone used HDR Efex Pro 2 to blend multiple exposed pictures...but not in GIMP.

So my question is : Can I select my 3 different expose pictures in GIMP to open them together in HDR Efex Pro 2...?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

I have a solid black Map image of Scotland (below) on a white background and I want to super impose another image but only to appear in the black area of the image and not the white area, any help on how to do this would be appreciated? Thanks!

...when I see the crocus flowers

I am having trouble with the rectangular selection boxes.

With the selection values in pixels, "Expand from Centre", and "Fixed" (any ratio).

If I select all, then manually input a horizontal or vertical value, the selection box jumps to some random offset in both vertical and horizontal dimensions, and includes a large area outside the image.

If I grab the edge of the box with the mouse and move it any amount then input either dimension there is no problem.

This occasionally happens under other circumstances but this is 100% repeatable.

Hi, I got the plugin from here  : https://github.com/khalim19/gimp-plugin-.../tag/3.3.1

Added to the plugin folder and restarted GIMP. But ask instructed in ReadMe, there is no option under Files > Export as layers

There was something in the other thread about installing gimp-python, which I tried and it says, no such package available. It would nice to have some help here. Thanks.

Hey folks,
So I'm a Mac user who has had Photoshop cs4 for the last ten years.

(I'm an artist and hobby / small biz user who sells on Etsy and redbubble)
But a few weeks ago my old iMac died so I've brought a new one and guess what... Cs4 isn't supported on the Catalina OS. Great.

Gimp is recommended as the best free alternative, but for my print work I would need a CMYK plugin? 
Is this possible for Mac? If so can someone point me in the right direction please! (I'm a designer but not a techie so I stumped!!)

Thanks
