I've just updated Ubuntu from version 19.10 to 20.04, and that has updated Gimp to 2.10.18.

One of the features that I regularly use is "Heal Selection" that appears in the Filters->Enhance menu, but it's absent from Ubuntu's Gimp.

I understand that the "Heal Selection" feature uses the Resynthesizer plugin, and in Ubuntu that is included in the "gimp-plugin-registry" package, a package that contains multiple plugins, and I do have that installed. The Resynthesizer's own menu entry is present in its usual place at Filters->Map->Resynthesize, but that doesn't include the "Heal Selection" feature.


On previous versions of Ubuntu (18.10 to 19.10), the gimp-python package also needed to be manually installed to make "Heal Selection" magically appear. This package is not in Ubuntu 20.04's repository. So this seems to be the core of the problem.

Anybody know why gimp-python has disappeared? Any ideas about what's going on at all, please?

As you can see from the image below, I have a sheet of horizontal and vertical dots (matrix). Then I have a shape. I am trying to create a " dotted " shape. ie, I would like to create an intersection of dots and shape so that the shape will look as if it is made of dots.




It will be great to have some help. I really hope that some of you are good with Inkscape as well.

I try to run a Filter (Distorts -> Newsprint) on two different CPUs

1. participant: Intel Core i5-4670K @ 3.40GHz, 4 Cores
2. participant: Intel Core i5-3320M @ 2.60GHz, 2 Cores

I was amazed that there was almost no difference in how fast the CPUs ran through the filters ??

I created three different lines using the paths tool and wanted to stroke each path with a different color.  Each time I try to stoke with a different color, all three paths change to that color.  How do I isolate the paths from one another?

Hi, I've been working on a card game and I'd like the position of each text to be consistent.

My problem is that as soon as I type the letter "d" the font shifts slightly downward.
I can't change it back to its correct position either, gimp doesn't seem to recognize it as an actual change in positioning.
I tried seeing if I'd have the same problem in a drawing program, had about the same size, and no shift happened.

I'm using an external font I downloaded, Aquifer.
I'm thinking it could be the Aquifer font itself as I had some problems with it before in gimp.

Can anyone help me?

Greetings, folks--
Does anyone have an idea on how to get rid of the extra fonts (for other alphabets, etc.) from GIMP in Linux Mint (Cinnamon)?  I have Fonts Manager and those fonts disabled but they still show up in GIMP.  Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi All.

I am pretty new at GIMP, but trying to learn.


The image below is made in Autodesk Inventor and i am trying to illustrate Foam
getting injected from a doorway sanitiser to the floor.

What function could i use to make the foam look somewhat realistic?

I have not been able to find any tutorials on that particular subject.

Thank you in advance

Hello. New Gimp user here, so hopefully posting in the right place. Using GIMP 2.10.14 on Mac, I would like to create a background image/wallpaper for a website similar to the attached--please see (also here is a link to the sample background image: adpartnersagency.  Edit: that is a bit too close to advertising, this the one with the three images - https://i.imgur.com/jKOLzeP.jpg - rich). So basically I am looking to:

1. Place three original images across one canvas, creating a single new image.
2. Have all three original images on the canvas / new image separated by two equidistant diagonal lines.

Any help as to the best way to do this would be much appreciated. Thank you!

I don't really know anything about photoshop. But I was using the free select tool and I'm zoomed in so that I can see the individual pixels. But for some reason it keeps on going into a triangle or something.

Hi everyone i am learning gimp (2.10.18 Linux version) usage and i have found several tutorials for the basics but not for more complex tasks. For example i have an image A which have car parked on a street and i have another image B which shows a blue caribbean sea. Let's say i select the car from the image A and want to use that car to select and cut or copy a car shaped caribbean sea and copy it in the image A instead of the car so that where originally was the car it would be a sea with the shape of that car. Is there any way to do that? Thanks in advance
