Hi,

I am having a HARD time to get GIMP work with color management. My GIMP receives the output from RAW images processed by RawTherapee and Darktable. I actually have two problems mixed: monitor color management and output ICC_Profile in exif. (Everything I use is set to relative colorimetric).

They reduce to the following: each different program that I use to view my images (GIMP, RawTherapee, Darktable, gqview, firefox and chrome) on the same monitor renders the GIMP saved images differently from the others (I see this clearly). The ONLY way that I see a consistent output is when I tell GIMP to NOT to use monitor profile and NOT to save color profile to the images (i.e., no ICC_Profile in EXIF). In this situation, everything looks the same. In this case, all programs choose sRGB that seems to be consistent.

I even have problems in GIMP itself: The image that I see in GIMP right before saving is not the same shown in firefox after saving (unless I go with the double NOT above).

A bit of my settings:

Monitor profile: I use an old DELL 2209WA monitor that works pretty well. According to darktable-cmstest, the system has the correct monitor profile configured. If I set "Color-managed display"  in Preferences > Color Management, GIMP shows me the DELL 2209WA profile.

Color space: I have GIMP configured to Convert Images to Built-in sRGB in Preferences > Image import/export.

What am I doing wrong? Which is the correct way of setting GIMP (and RawTherapee) to have a consistent output in firefox/chrome/gqview/other viewers?

I'm new to the forum, sorry if this is not the correct place for my question.

Thanks!

I need to use GIMP on a Windows 10 PC. I got used to the comfort of App Images. It is a Linux only provision, right ? Will it work in Windows 10 ?

Hey GIMP community, I am fairly new to GIMP but I might already have a rare question. Trying to process my photos from different countries and I'd like to add a text (name of the particular place and country) to the bottom right corner of all pictures. As much as I can I'd like to have this text in exact same spot with pretty much same settings (font, size, location) that I'd always need just to type the name of the place.
I've wondered if there are some sort 'presets' or profiles available in GIMP as they are, let's say, in RawTherapee for example?
Second solution, if I am not mistaken, could be creating a text "layer" with a text box and transparent background which I'd save as a project and could always add later on?
Or is there any other way I am not aware, yet? Thanks a lot for any advice.

When I click a filter the dialog pops up at the bottom of the screen so that for all but the smallest dialogs the bottom is off the screen. I can drag the dialog so everything ius visible but the parts originally off screen can still not be reached. For example, with the mosaic filter I can not click OK

I have a drawing with many text layers. I want to change the height of the font and want to use another font style for all the text layers. How can I do that in gimp?

Hi, I have a machine with Ubuntu 20.04, there are not many customisations. When I use GIMP 2.10.22 as App Image, it shows an icon in the Dock, but when I right-click, it has no option to add as Favourite . Is there any way to have an icon in Dock and make it available clicking on which will start the App Image ?

If possible, an icon of our choice would be great. Thanks.

   

Okay, so here's what I'm doing: I'm trying to take a picture I have of myself, isolate myself from my room, and insert myself into all kinds of wacky other scenarios. Using Foreground Select, I got a great cut of myself from the original image, and pasted it into a new blank image with a transparent background so that I can paste it into any image I want. However, if I paste that cut of myself into another image, I look like a paper cutout placed onto a background; it doesn't look like I'm really there. Doing some research on the ol' interwebs, "feathering" the image of myself seems to be the most popular way to do this.

Here's where I'm having trouble: if I feather myself against the transparent background, it... does nothing, because it's both transparent and only a single color anyway (I'm using bright green since it doesn't show up anywhere in the cut of myself). So, obviously, I thought to paste myself into the new image first, then feather the cut of myself. And indeed, when I'm pasted inside of an image, the cut of myself is still selected (until I anchor it). However, at this point, I am not allowed to feather that unanchored image of myself when its pasted to the new image. I can anchor it, sure, but then my selection is immediately lost, and any attempt at re-selecting myself with the foreground tool just results in an inaccurate cut, making the feathering go wonky.

So... how can I feather an image that has been pasted to a different image, but not anchored? Or, does someone have an entirely different way for me to achieve what I'm trying to do?

Hey everyone! I'm having a annoying issue where the eraser wont erase the whole thing. The hardness is all the way up.
