I've been using gimp for a few years, most of my prior experience was with Windows 7. I managed to install Python and several plug-ins dependent upon it,..with good results.  One of those was resynthesizer.

None of that is part of the problem now.

About a year ago I started using a live distribution of Debian called "knoppix", installed it onto a flashdrive .....really have liked it, I got the DVD version which includes a generous software bundle, with one of those items being gimp 2.10.8 .

Recently I decided to try and add a few plugins  to the gimp that I use under knoppix. So, in reading here I saw where  rich2005 had put up for download for someone else a directrory named resynth-linux containing two *.py files, and two other files named resynthesizer and resynthesizer_gui

So, I down loaded those files, found the directories specified in gimp  edit/preferences/folders/plug-ins  and made sure that the specified locations had those files copied into them.

When I started Gimp, there was no change in either of the Filters/Enhance or the Filters/Map menus

Wondering if I had Python support installed, I ran python --version and got "Python 2.7.16" and when running python3 --version I got back "Python 3.7.3"

So far  as you know, should that support the plugins that I am trying to use?

Out of curiosity, I went digging and noticed in the directory usr/lib/ were subdirectories  "python2.5", "python2.6",  python2.7", "Python3",  "Python3.7"

Out of those,the contents of "3.7" and "2.7" had many common elements, such as  sub directories with common names.....while the other "python*.*" directories  differed somewhat.  The " python3 and python2.6 directories both had subdirectories named "dist-packages"(only that one subdirectory in either),  but  the contents of each differed significantly from the other .... while the remaining "python2.5" directory had almost nothing in it. I'm guessing the oddballs contain legacy support for the generous software bundle that came along with the OS? 

I appreciate that the last 2 paragraphs might amount to nothing, but just wanted to include them out of an abundance of caution that I might otherwise be leaving out info you might have a use for in determining where I went wrong.

Suggestions?

On the attached image, how do I introduce a gradual transition from left to right from BW to colour? I don't know GIMP very well...
I have v 2.10 on Win10.
Thanks!

I drew it in Inkscape 1.0.2 and Pixelised in GIMP 2.10

   

How? Seems like something that should be straight forward.

No offence, but other forum software such as this is super outdated and clunky... is there a Discourse forum for GIMP? I can't seem to find one via Google

First things first... how to I attach an image? I'm used to Discourse forums where you can just paste an image. I get an error if I try that here saying the POST received too much data...

Hi,

It's been a long time since I've tried to do this in Photoshop, and now in Gimp I'm even less competent!

I have this photo below that I want to replace the text in with a more appropriate one (Comic Sans MS, the worst font ever made).

How can I cover over the original text in the photo, while still keeping the texture of the label and the colour variations intact?

Cheers!

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?
