I have this crazy idea. I want my background layer to be white. 

I've tried selecting the layer and doing Edit->Fill with BG Layer

It doesn't fill all of it.

So I select all of it. Try the menu item again. No. Still doesn't fill the transparent part. 

I google. Aha! Shift-B and then choose "fill selection if necessary" or whatever.  Nothing works!!! A trivial task and it just doesn't work. 

I keep selecting all of the layer and it never fills. 

I've spent an hour just trying to fill a flat background layer with white, see attachments.  I'm sorry but this is absurd.

Something to look for when Gimp 2.10.24 is released.
For those photographers out there.   In the latest Gimp 2.10.23 appimage - a new GEGL filter 'Negative Darkroom' (in Tools -> GEGL Operation at the moment)

Does what it says, processes a negative to an image for printing.  Excuse this example, I do not have a negative scanner or a light box so this was photographed in a slideholder against daylight. (basically against a window )   

   


Those 'Characteristic Curve' presets might be interesting, Several under the colour option for Ilford mono film types.

For some reason, Gimp does not allow me to create a rectangle with rounded corners. Has anybody else experienced this issue? Does anybody know a fix?

If you want to convert yout GPS .gpx files to .svg files and use the .svg file as a path in gimp you can then Maperitive is the free software can help you : http://maperitive.net
1 - load the .gpx file in Maperitive
2 - tools / export to SVG (Inkscape)
3 - make a new image and load the saved .svg file as a path in gimp
As an example I've used a bike map from the Ypres Bow 14-18 convert to a path and set poppies on it.(https://www.westtoer.be/nl/doen/ieperboog-0)

   

Hi everyone, I used Gimp many years ago but am now quite rusty. So if someone could explain how I can remove a white background that would be great. I have tried but the image loses quality...TYIA

Good day I am a newbie to Gimp attempting to import a .pat file using a Zorin platform with 2.10, having tried a number of the tutorials I come unstuck pasting the .pat file into the share folder. It appears that I do not have permission to make that addition.
Any help appreciated I have trawled to forum but found nothing relating to this issue.
Thanks

Dear all,



I have a pixelart image that I try to scale in gimp. This is probably just a button I need to toggle, but I have searched for more than an hour (also on this forum and on Google) but I have yet to find the answer.

When I try to scale the image everything goes well, but when I click enter it suddenly loses a huge amount of quality.


I added the unscaled image, scaled image before clicking enter and scaled image after clicking enter.



Many, many thanks in advance!!!
