Hey there,

I am pretty new to GIMP so I am not quite sure on how to approach this problem.
What I want is to remove the black letter from the layer without moving the rest of the text. So no spaces

I tried giving it an alpha color but that doesn't seem to be possible.


Any help would be very much appriciated!

For the life of me I cannot find how to change the brush size. No search results on Google have the answer. Something so simple is so difficult.

I have zero knowledge on this "out of gamut" stuff...all I know is that the pink corner won't go away. I'm picking normal colors, under normal conditions...that I've done thousands of times...and this thing is showing up now. It JUST started. I have no idea why. And when I try to fill with it...it's a charcoal color. WTF is going on?

I'm trying to edit two existing shapes on my project and can't figure out how to do that (first time using the software). On the attached image I want to add a coloured border to the large black circle and adjust the size & dimensions of the white box that the red text is in. I am trying to select the layer and use the rectangle /ellipse tool to start editing but that only makes a new shape as far as I can tell. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Reference the discussion we were having in another thread regarding broken features/missing menu listings in later versions of Gimp under knoppix.  Caused mostly by varying implementations of Python, but also evidenced in other threads as partly due to the Gimp developers moving some functions to new menus where end users wouldn't normally expect to look for said functions.

I just checked my old windows 7 install, and noticed that I have Gimp 2.10.14 installed (evidently I must have updated this from 2.8.x when I started using knoppix and learned that 2.10.x was available).......with a Python version of 2.7.   Everything Gimpwise appears to be working just fine.

I noticed that Gimp version 2.10.22 is available, so I downloaded it, but have yet to upgrade my old install..
I just wanted to ask here first if there are any unexpected dysfunctions that might be introduced (plug-ins dying, or disappearing menu items) if I go ahead with the update?

Also, is the install still capable of determining on it's own  if my machine is 64 bit or 32 bit, and setting up accordingly?  The file I obtained is named gimp-2.10.22-setup.exe and is 230 MB  in size.

Thanks in advance

Hello, as I want to convert RGB to CMYK I followed all the instructions given here in this video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A0Aaoy1...=emb_title
However, when I save as .jpg and .tif and open those images again in GIMP they both look different, and when I check the image properties it is still RGB.

First one is the original photo, the second one is the one saved as .jpg and the third is .tif.

And also I tried to save as .psd as instructed in the video there is not a problem saving it as .psd but when I open it looks completely black.

I hope I could figure this out, I want to print out my oil paintings so apparently, CMYK is the only way to do it properly. Thank you.

Can I copy and paste something from a transparent layer in gimp and paste it on another place on the same layer in the way the pasted information comes in place of the information where I paste it. So the old underlying information must be erased and the pasted information comes in place.

I have an image which consists of text, which appears to be black, and a a light blue background (see attachment). I want to extract the text/remove the background and tried with 'Select colour'; however, when I zoom in, I can see that the two colours are actually several shades; so the black seems to be at least 4 grey tones, and the same for the background. Is there any easy way to select on (and delete) several colours in one go? Ot some other way to achieve the same, that I haven't thought of?
