Hello! Newcomer here. I have two GIFs (let's say A.gif and B.gif) both with an equal amount of frames, but their size is different. They need to be interleaved: A-Layer1 -> B-Layer1 -> A-Layer2 -> B-Layer2 and so on.

How do I achieve this? There seems to be no automatic option from what I can tell, but there has to be. Is there something I'm missing? Or do I need a plugin for this?

I'd do it manually, except working with 1152*2=2304 layers... oof. It's actually making my computer lag at points, making doing it manually feel even more awful than it otherwise would've been.

EDIT: OK, I may be stupid, I did see ofn-interleave-layers as a google result, but misread what it does, though it could only interleave copies of one layer between the image layers. And its documentation ALSO lists how to change image size with canvas commands without scaling.

I'm leaving this thread in case someone else needs it, I've seen enough "nevermind, figured it out" online to want to leave a tip. I haven't tested the script YET, but it should work.

When i want resize image to format 800 x 800 px from 16 x 16 px what do i must do? I opened image that naturally is 16 x 16, and i just want to make it bigger and keep resolution. I tried to make minecraft dirt block to be in 800 x 800 format. 
And when i resize it to 800 x 800 this happens: 
What i need to do is to have same image in 16 x 16 and sam image in 800 x 800. Im sorry for this coplications but im starting with gimp.

I wonder why a do not get a sharp result when erasing with a brush and get a dark contour when turn the brush 90 degrees. The working layer is transparent. In the middle there are two brushes drawn with the pencil tool. On the left the one brush is turned 90 degrees and there is a dark boundary around it. When I use both brushes to erase a line, then erasing is not pixel sharp.Do I miss something or is it a bug? Thanks for your answer in advance.

I am trying to add an arrow pointer onto a picture (and plan to do a lot). I have added a png of the arrow, which I know has a transparent background, to a second layer. I have tried to set it up as a mask, but dont understand the finer details - it just stays as a complete rectangle. NB: Have successfully re-sized it & am trying to rotate it. I am new to GIMP, but IT competent.

Greetings Folks, 

I just re-installed GIMP 2.10.22 (rev 3.0) on brand new Mac M1 Mini. I've noticed that when I use the rectangle or ellipse tool, - I draw the shape. Then I attempt to use the "bucket fill" to colour the shape in, but the outline of the shape that was once visible is now INVISIBLE. So you can actually see where the shape is on the canvas, and your guessing as to where it went. 

I'm not sure if this is a setting somewhere, or a bug ? or ? 

Anyone have any ideas ?  - I'd greatly prefer not going back to illustrator. 

Best Wishes,

I wanted to paste some image from google with invisible background (like this) onto another image, but it just doesnt work, it isn't transparent. [url=https://previews.123rf.com/images/kolibrico/kolibrico2002/kolibrico200200005/139369246-vector-empty-transparent-background-vector-transparency-grid-seamless-pattern-.jpg][/url]

Hi, i'm using Gimp 2.10 on ubuntu-based linux.

I'm trying to follow this guide on how to get started with GIMP scripting, but when I save the .py file in the scripts folder or the plug-ins folders nothing happens.

When I restart GIMP I don't see the option to run that script in the menu.
I've also tried downloading other scripts from the internet, put them in the scripts folder and plug-ins folder, and same thing, they don't appear in the menu.


Am I doing something wrong?
This is the script's code, which I copied from the tutorial:

On a layer in my Layer Group, the Foreground Select tool rough-selects, Draws, but on releasing the mouse button nothing remains drawn on the layer.  (Foreground Select does work if I select the Layer Group rather than the layer.)

If I drag my Layer Group to a new image, Foreground Select works fine.

Since I had been experimenting with filters on the layer, maybe GIMP 2.10.22 lost its way somewhere.  Is this likely a bug or am I missing something?

is this possible to do in gimp?

after scanning a pencil drawing or taking a photo with a cell phone

1. open the scanned drawing, which would take a layer on its own
2. create another layer, which should be transparent by default; then else it would make no sense to create a layer that by default covers whatever is in the previous visible layers that were placed there for a reason
3. lock the background layer that contains the scanned pencil drawing
4. draw in new layer the color and textures for the drawing
5. delete or hide the background layer
6. end up with a nice colored picture based on a pencil doodle drawn in paper and then scanned

This could have been made in licensed tools, I am asking if this can be done with those steps and without any extra-hassle in Gimp
