Hello. I've just installed Gimp 2.10 on my laptop. The OS on the laptop is Ubuntu 20.04.2 using Gnome as the desktop. Right now when I run GIMP the icons are painfully small. I have the same issue with a few other applications as well. Most programs work just fine. I installed GIMP via apt. Attached is a screen shot of what I'm seeing. Could I get some help with fixing this please? Thank you!

I've recently had some issues with GIMP generating alpha channels after editing images when using layers. Upon exporting to .png, the alphas get left in. I'm being told by an ace programmer that this is a ridiculous thing that GIMP should not do. I really, really like GIMP, and would rather continue using it. Is there an update that deals with this without a plugin?  And btw, I haven't seen a good plugin that even does decent batch alpha removal.

For some reason there is no POST THREAD button in GIMP 2.10 section. Therefore I posted here.

I can wrap text around a circle using TEXT ALONG PATH tool.  I even know how to make my text taller by turning the text into a path and scaling the path. What I wanna do is take my text, make it taller, then wrap around the circle. After editing the text to make it taller, I cannot seem to figure out how to make the new later wrap around the circle as it is no longer actual text and there is no text to path option.

So how can I make the text taller then wrap on a circle?

Some of us have good memories to the commodore 64 computer. It was in his time the most advanced home computer with 16 colors (later more in interlace), good sound (3 tone generators) and hires graphics. If one have a good photo that he want to send back to time of the C=64, then there is a program to convert it to the C=64 color resolution. Save it as prg file after conversion and you can load it in a C=64 emulator or in a real C=64 (if you own one yet). Save it as bmp file for use in gimp.

Hello!
I've very new to GIMP and need some basic instructions.

I'm trying to clip parts of a layer, which is a page of a book. 
However, when I select the area with rectangle selection tool and use "cut" it cuts the entire layer.

Is there a simple fix?

thank you!

Hi,

the attached image shows the difference I see between the photo that I'm editing, and the preview on the print plug-in.

That in the print preview is much closer to what comes out of the printer.

As shown in the attached screenshot, the color management option 'Proof Colors' is enabled.

How could I make the Edit version look the same as that in the print Preview? 

Thanks,
 Rodrigo

Hi, what is the best way to create a splash in GIMP ? Something like this but which we can customise. This one is an image to .gbr conversion. It would be nice to know how to adjust the core size, splash spread and sharpness etc. Thanks

I can use the blend tool to soften one edge but cannot do the other?

ver2.10.22
From other posts on this subject I have noted that the UI font size can be changed for the theme you use by editing the line
GimpDock::font-scale = 0.8333
in the gtkrc file corresponding to the theme you are using
in my case C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\themes\Gray\

BUT in WINDOWS 10 I am unable to save the changed file...!!? 
Q can someone please explain how I can save the changed file in the program files folder of Win10..?


cheers for any ideas... CD

apologies for repeating post but not really sure where I am here..
