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I believe it is due to an outdated command that should be changed.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?

Thx.

It's always funny to insert messages in a drawing. A QR code can do the job. Make one and import it as a svg in gimp. One can find many QR code generators on the internet and this is one of them :

Find the message (or is Wilber behind a Shoji ?)
   

what I mean is 
I know that if a picture (for example which contains personal information that I have 
hidden) is saved as xcf it is possible that it can be reversed and hidden information could '
be revealed. 

I know the answer is yes but I'm not tech geek so just wish to make sure

If I hide something and save it as jpg or jpeg or bmp is it final? and just totally 
Impossible to reverse the hidden part right??

I'd like to upload some pictures to a forum
which free image host would you recommend?

27 great time-saving pattern generators for designers:

One can generate something like a flower with the Floral Diagram Generator. The result can be saved as a svg file and import it in Inkscape. If one import the file in gimp, but not all the items can be seen (or not everything is imported / converted... I don't know)

So I'm trying to make some pixel art in gimp, but the color is always just this dark green color. Does anybody know how I can change it? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I am a newbie to Gimp and graphics programs in general.  I am taking a high school image design class using GIMP.  I am learning a lot and enjoy it.  My dad got me a XP-Pen Deco Pro small drawing tablet to use with GIMP.  I am having a hard time getting it going that way I think it should work.  

I have it connected and the right drivers in place.  I am trying to get the wheel to move change brushes and the touchpad to zoom in/out and pan.  If anyone has one, can that offer any help to make that work?

Also - best practices using tablets with GIMP?  Is there any settings that would be the most efficient?  There are some shortcut buttons I am tying to decide what is he best as well.  I want to get the most out of these two together so if you have any advice please let me know!

Thank you 
G
