If I open a .xcf, jpg or png and change the resolution in the Scale Image or Print Image dialogs, then export again to jpg or png, when I reopen the new file, the resolution has reverted to what it was (e.g. 72). what could be causing this?

I upgraded my operating system and it came with Gimp 2.10.18.
in the previous version of Gimp when I used the unsharp mask or 
auto color balance there would be under the edit menu the option 
of fading the adjustment I had just made. Its no longer there. Is it 
gone or have they made it hard to find?

Good day

I have 0-9 numbers, how can i only let the white part be transparent, I cannot get it to be transparent, I only get the whole image transparent.

Is there any way to find out, in a Python plugin, if a given point (x,y) is in the selection or not?

Hi! Is it possible to draw a path by script-fu? Can u link me a tutorial or documentations?

Checking how ofn-enclosing-circle behaved in some complex cases I gave it a shot against a path of the coastline of Ireland. There was a bug with a very tiny island in the southwest that wasn't included because the corresponding stroke had a single anchor. That wasn't Skellig Michael (which is so small it's not in the original SVG) but that was pretty darn close.

Must be a sign.

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)
