I am having trouble with the rectangular selection boxes.

With the selection values in pixels, "Expand from Centre", and "Fixed" (any ratio).

If I select all, then manually input a horizontal or vertical value, the selection box jumps to some random offset in both vertical and horizontal dimensions, and includes a large area outside the image.

If I grab the edge of the box with the mouse and move it any amount then input either dimension there is no problem.

This occasionally happens under other circumstances but this is 100% repeatable.

Hi, I got the plugin from here  : https://github.com/khalim19/gimp-plugin-.../tag/3.3.1

Added to the plugin folder and restarted GIMP. But ask instructed in ReadMe, there is no option under Files > Export as layers

There was something in the other thread about installing gimp-python, which I tried and it says, no such package available. It would nice to have some help here. Thanks.

Hey folks,
So I'm a Mac user who has had Photoshop cs4 for the last ten years.

(I'm an artist and hobby / small biz user who sells on Etsy and redbubble)
But a few weeks ago my old iMac died so I've brought a new one and guess what... Cs4 isn't supported on the Catalina OS. Great.

Gimp is recommended as the best free alternative, but for my print work I would need a CMYK plugin? 
Is this possible for Mac? If so can someone point me in the right direction please! (I'm a designer but not a techie so I stumped!!)

Thanks

Hello
I cannot use my tablet with GIMP 2.10.22 on Mac
the app does not recognize this device
I followed the installation tutorial but GIMP does not recognize the tablet
(tested under W10 and used without problem)
Has anyone ever used an xpen tablet on mac?
thanks for your advices

So i just bought and a new Microsoft Surface Pro 7, i5, and a Surface 4k pen.  I updated enerything in the Windows Updates menu first.  Just did a fresh install of GIMP also.  When i navigate to Edit, Input Devices, only the "Core Pointer" option is there, nothing for my surface pen.  My Gimp version is 2.10.22.

I have seen similar errors online, but not identical, and not with a working fix that i could find.  More than willing to provide extra information.  Thanks for considering helping me, i really appreciate it!

Hi

I am following a tutorial (link below) on creating a fantasy map.. The chap in the tutorial is using Photoshop but says this stuff should work with GIMP.. Alas it's not. 

The tutorial is here. (note he has better drawing skills than me) }}

http://www.fantasticmaps.com/2015/02/how-to-draw-a-map/


Under the heading "Block in the bulk shadows" he says.. 

"Create a new layer and set the blend mode to overlay. I then pick a hard round brush with size set to around 20-30px, and opacity set to pressure sensitive. This means that if I press lightly, I get an almost transparent line, if I press hard, I get a deep opaque black. Oh, and set the brush colour to black.

I do this.. 

When he does this is paint brush makes the area behind a forest darker. It makes the brown background look darker there. 



When I do it, it paints shades of black on the image. 

Bound to be something obvious I am missing here. But I sure could use some help here. 

Hi all,
Since today , I have a strange behavior when I export a file .
I tried to install again GIMP but I have the same problem for all my exports.
All transparencies are now in yellow when I export a file (I tried PDF , EPS, JPG).
I found nothing in settings . I even initialized all the settings and I still have this problem .

Joined the XCF file and export file 

Thank you for your help if you have any ideas on how to solve this problem.

With this program one can generate trees or flower bush and save it as a png file. Every time one click on the 'Draw tree' button give a different result. Design with personal taste can be done with the sliders on the left of the screen. On the right side of the screen one can choose leaves, flowers and wood.

I'd like to change a layer's position in the layers stack. Is there a command for that? I only know how to get it but not how to set it.
