I'm using 2.10.14...and when I switch from pixels to inches...the scale is WAY off.  (1665 px to 23+" ?!) I'm figuring it's the dpi the image is in...can I adjust the dpi of a copied image? If I rescale it...will it essentially do this...or would it keep the same dpi?

Ever since a few months ago, I've had this issue where the two functions: saving a file and using the scale tool take exceedingly long amount of times to complete, and often result in the error message "Fatal Error: Unhandled Exception" which then causes the app to become unusable and unresponsive (so it must be manually turned off through the task manager) and also causes me to lose all my work since my last save.
Before the issue my file saving and scaling was quick, maybe a second maximum, and I used to save my work almost compulsively, every few strokes or changes while working, but now it takes between 30 seconds to a minute (even for the smallest changes!)
I don't know when or what exactly caused this issue (I have a feeling it might've been a certain application update or Windows update but I'm not sure), this just started happening one day out of the blue and for the past few months I've been dealing with this bug.
Has anyone here ever dealt with this problem before and/or knows how to fix it?
I've searched the internet for this problem, but this seems to be a pretty rare issue. Most instances of this error I've found online happen upon startup, and not during the times I receive the message.
I also use Windows 10 64-bit, always updated to the latest version, and I use Gimp 2.10.14 (not sure if that's the latest version).

Could GIMP help me out with the following?  (re a tool that could do this).  If yes any pointers re what GIMP feature to dive into to try: 

1. Open a background image and scale to standard background size I need.
   
2. Define Areas - Define multiple areas on the image (e.g. Rect, Circle, Polygon) by tracing around key items (e.g. light, button, chair etc).
   
3. Export Area Data - Can export the data that describes these tracings (e.g. x,y co-ordinates for Polygon, position & radius for circle) when required.  Would provide a list of data for each traced object, then can import into my application and read this.    [could be just polygons only]
   
4. Export images for the areas defined from (2) - so after exporting for one images there might be several smaller images that would be exported (e.g. clipped image of the chair)
   
5. Can come back later and load/still have the areas defined, and adjust them and re-export data and images.
   
6. Overall output from one background image with areas defined on the image:
   • Exports a data file defines the different areas (polygons etc)
     
   • Exports the “cut out” images for each of these 
     

Hello folks


I'm new to editing and heavily dependant on yotube and the net in general for help. I have a logo design that I would like to tweak slightly but not sure how to go about it. Across the EA and I in the logo, there is a "Hard Line" and the rest of the image has a gradient fill. I would like to get rid of the hard line and have the image all matching.

Any ideas what procedure I shoudl look up tips please?

I saved a file in Libre Cad as a svg file. I imported the svg file in gimp as paths. When the file was imported, all the paths are imported but not visible. Can I make all the paths visible in one action ?

Hello, i'm trying to easy the process of making mosaic (real mosaics) from photos with the use of GIMP.
So far i have:

- Created a custom 37 colors palette of solid colors i use with mosaic tiles
- Created a Distort/Mosaic preset with the preferred mosaic settings (i use one color oper tile)
- Imported Image -> Distort Image -> Indexed image with palette colors (see attachment)

Now that i have a mosaic, how can i count the number of tiles i need per color (based on my palette)? (ex. 30 Black tiles, 57 Green tiles)


I'm familiar with basic programming but i'm no programmer.
Can anyone give me hints on this or does already exist a script/plugin/extension for this?



Thanks!

Hi all

Just updated to 2.10  - I used to rely pretty heavily on the Colorify tool in the Color menu and now can't find it. Hoping it's just been renamed something else and not made obsolete?

Any pointers gladly accepted!

Cheers

hi.

We are using Windows 10 Pro 64bit and Gimp 2.10.22.

My sister has created 2 different images.  Each has the same hexadecimal code for a shade of green; however, one image’s green prints MUCH lighter then the other image’s same shade of green.  We want both images’ green shade to print exactly the same.  (It’s supposed to, obviously, since both shades of green share the exact same hexadecimal code.)

Please enlighten us of the solution.

Hi , I am new here.

I have a problem .
I have a service manual that has a total of a 104 pages.  (A4, jpg)

One complete section is 8 pages . 4 on the top row and 4 on the bottom row.
to make one complete sheet .
They were scanned and sent to me .
Now to be able to use them I have to stitch them back together it a full large pages .

each Page was scanned as a jpg and they had a very dark back ground that I managed to clean up
using auto Balance .
I have look though the help and could not figure out How to increase the work space to fit four A4 sheets on
top . and Two A4 down . 8 sheets  to make one complete  image  . so I can put this jigsaw back together .
Also some of the pages are not 100% square so the alignment will have to be slid over to match ..
Is this possible .
If so How in the simplest way possible .

O forgot I am using Linux and version 2.10.18
Thanks

I stumbled into this issue through a series of improbable events.  

While trying to edit a map that  was 5300 pixels x 2200 pixels (approx 11 MB file size), I was having real problems with "jaggies" when drawing straight lines using the pencil tool in conjunction with the [shift] key, anytime I was drawing a line outside of strict 0-90-180-270 degree coordinates.  (reading elsewhere here I've already discovered that my main problem was that I was too stupid to realize that the pencil tool does not  anti-alias, so I switched to the brush tool, and that problem is now solved).I may end up preferring the "stroke path" function....once I get more experience with it.

ANYWAY, before I came here and got a workable solution, I was trying to improvise a solution.

Initially, it seemed to make perfect sense to me to just use the transform/rotate image function, and rotate the entire image to the  position needed to draw the line straight at 90/180/270 degrees with the pencil tool. And it worked, giving me nice, crisp lines at whatever angle I set up for.

But, I needed to draw 50+ lines, oriented at least a dozen different  rotational positions.  Waiting for an image of that size to rotate, got to be a chore in itself, especially given the number of times I needed to set up differently.

But it seemed to be working, until I got to my 5th distinct rotation, and I noticed that the (original) text on the map was starting to get blurry.
 
(note: using *.PNG image format)

Evidently there is some loss of information that accompanies each rotation?  I've rotated images in the past and never really noticed degradation of the image before.

Are you folks who are familiar with the code aware of why this might be happening?  Is there a setting available that can "sharpen the pencil" that the program uses to calculate the rotations?  (such as the Image/precision  list box selector) not sure if that is the intent, or not. 

Just curious if this is the intent and function of the "precision" selector.

Doubtful that I'll ever try this again for the purpose of beating the anti-alias  demons, but I do occasionally rotate images for legitimate purposes, so it would be nice to know if there is a fix available. Thank you in advance for your patience in addressing this unusual request.
