I am new to the forum and to Gimp.  
I am trying to create a printable grid.  I found the pattern grid but its units are only in pixels.  I know that in my drawing an 1/8th inch is 37.5 pixels.  But fractions are not allowed.  Is there a way to create a printable 1/8th inch grid?  I suppose a half of a pixel may not be worth effort, but I'd like to know if there is another way to do this.

Thanks!

Say
1. I want to change the area in white to red (the action)
2. *except* the selected square
I know how to do 1. with "By color select", but not 1. and 2. combined. Could someone make a suggestion?

More generally, how can I exclude a selection from an action?

OK... see attached file below, then (sigh)

How the heck do I get rid of it?

What did I do (so I do NOT do it again)

Thanks, folks!

So this is a simplified command that is having the same issue 

It runs the gimp-console executable but it does not seem to actually run any of the code inside -b argument.

This line below simply attempts to close the gimp console window but it simply hangs at "batch command executed successfully"

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi. I'm sorta new using GIMP. I've run into an issue that I was hoping someone with more experience could shed some light on. I am trying to curve text to a circle. This has worked excellent until recently. I am running GIMP 2.10.20 on a Windows 10 64-bit machine. I'm 1) creating a circle, 2) select to path, 3) creating the text (Sans-Serif, 29 px) and 4) text along path. Changing font doesn't seem to help much. Any suggestions or answers as to why this is happening is welcome. 

Thx,
Gary J.

   

How can we create a Diamond texture like this ? I assume we have to use the Filter > Noise and then do something further. Any tips will be great.

   

Hi, I'm a newbie. I can't figure out how to refer to the active image in a non-interactive script. The example scripts I find all refer to either a new image, or an image loaded from disk, or looping through the image list, or assuming you're working on the rightmost image, or the image comes as a parameter from the dialog (for interactive scripts). I haven't been successful in locating an example that just uses an already opened active image.

So if i have an image open and active, and I want a non-interactive script to reduce opacity of that selected image with a fixed amount and then save the image, how do i refer to the image (and drawable)?


tnx!

Trying to use the free TrueType version of the outline font CombiNumerals. Used to work on an older version of GIMP and/or Windows, but stopped working some time ago (not sure at which version). Any way to get it to work in current GIMP on Windows 10?

Hi, I often find it difficult to locate gimp on my taskbar because it doesn't have a clear and constant logo, but rather a mini version of the active image in gimp. Is it possible to set wilber as a fixed logo on the tabs in the taskbar?

tnx

I'm making correction and text additions to numerous photographs. All are imported from JPG files and set to 8 1/2 X 11 inch landscape at 300 dpi.
After making the necessary edits I save the picture in GIMP's default XCF file format. I then check the image size and canvas size to make sure they are the same, usually 8 1/4 X 10 3/4 inches to account for printer margins. I then print out a sample on plain paper. I'll use either an HP Envy 5055 inkjet or our Konica-Minolta bizhub C558. I'll check all the setting of the printers and then print.

I've yet to get a print that is 8 1/4 X 10 3/4. The print is usually 6 1/5 X 8 3/4. What gives?
