Hi. I vectorized a picture to get smooth lines but now the picture have some transparent holes. Do you know any way to vectorize a picture without holes please? Thank you so much.

I want to change a colour to black (including all shades). If a part of my picture is red or tan, for example, I want to change it to black (like for a car or T-shirt). 

I've seen tutorials for colour changes using Rotate Colors, but these just handle RGB colours. 

All answers online do not address my issue, or they just assume I'm looking to change my pic to black and white. 

Thank you

Hello,

I need to place a picture of my Mom in a pamphlet, but my cousin has his hand on her shoulder in the photo.

How do I erase his hand from her shoulder?

Thank you

It seems that I unwittingly discovered a keyboard shortcut to destroy all day's work. If that does indeed exist, I would like to know what I did, in order to not do it again by mistake.
I had been working on a B&W image that I converted to color, created many layers, colored the layers, put effects and transparencies, and, then, by reflex, i pressed something like an "Emacs Chord" (I guess it was Ctrl+x, Ctrl+s), while at the same time did something without knowing on the digital tablet. The image restored to the original B & W state, and closed gimp. When I opened it again, all work was gone and the Undo History was empty.
I do not know if the work can be saved (i seem to not know if there is some backup), but I would like to know exactly what I did or what i pressed.

wow,

its been a long time since i looked forward to going to a new release of software only to have the new version offer much less than the one being replaced (see windows 8)!!

i am hoping that my ignorance and lack of experience is the reason and that it can all be fixed.

i cant figure out for the life of me why anyone would design a new release that ignores all the hard work the users have put in to create expanded functionality through scripts.  from a distance it looks like they purposely slightly renamed variables so that scripts we are all used to using don't work.  i have gone through the effort of changing some of the scripts so they work for me but for the most part i find myself going to the old version 2.8 to complete a job because i need a script or two that they rendered useless??

i've read the release notes and while there is much improvement in the "inner workings" to the software what good is it if you end up removing functionality from the end product???

i also read where you can just "constantize" an old script and it will magically work but it never has for me yet!!  after all if that was the case why didn't development just constantize each script before release...  because it doesn't work!!  i don't understand why people would waste their time in the future writing scripts if they understand that a new release makes them useless!!

i was a mainframe programmer for 30 years and i know that in all 30 of those years i would have lost my career if i did not consider, and plan for, a "transition" from the old software to the new often times called seamless.

i think it is important to realize that not every person using the software is a graphic artist specialist or programmer!

please tell me that i have something wrong so that i can apologize for being so negative but the end product is DISAPPOINTING as is!!!

thanks for listening,

Hi!

My question is, what are some ways to merge layers similar to Photoshop's blend mode (Darken, Multiply etc.)?

Also, I click with fuzzy selection and the selection outline does not show even though in the selection Historique d'annulacion there it shows multiple selections that were made. 

Many thanks

I constantly get a significant colorshift opening files. Dosen't matter, if I mantain or convert the incrusted color perfile. Dosen't matter the file format (jpg or different tiff formats). I have the issue since years and it dosent matter, if Windows or Linux. Please find attachments.
To fit the restrictions of this forum I had to scale down the images with a third party software. The scaled down images didn't show any difference in color. So I scaled the image, that passed through Gimp, in Gimp. And now you can see the difference. That is interesting, too. Seems that third party scaling, or may be any other operation, brings my color profile back.

Has somebody a suggestion?

Please forgive me if I have posted this in the wrong place, but there is no "Post new thread" button when I view the GIMP 2.10 section.

I have used GIMP 2.8 for many years, I think it is a brilliant program, and thanks to the developers for it. As I have had to move to a later operating system (now Mint 20.1), the default installation of GIMP is now 2.10.18.1. I have had so many problems trying to use this new version and I have spent more time researching the problems than I have been spending time being productive with it. I have had enough, I never had any problems with version 2.8 (I am only a basic user) and I want to go back to it. For me it is much easier to use.

Can someone tell me, in individual steps, what I have to do, please?

Thanks in advance.

I just revived an Epson V200 scanner (could be about 10 years old?). Made it to work under Linux. Output looks fine.

But it's a bit slow. So I wonder if a new scanner would be significantly faster? Epson has a V39 (€100) and a V600 (€450).

Any inputs from those who have a scanner?

Hi,
I'm getting the following error:

Error: eval: unbound variable: FG-IMAGE-FILL

I believe it is due to an outdated command that should be changed.
But even consulting the Procedure Browser I don't know how to solve this problem.
   
I tried to replace gimp-edit-fill with gimp-drawable-edit-fill but it was more complicated than I thought and I ended up giving up.

Could someone help me with this?
