I downloaded and ionstalled the latest Gimp 2.10.22 in windows 64.
However now I find all my scripts -Fu and python plug in are greyed out.
How do I restore all these scripts and plugins

I am sorry I found out that this was because I had not opened any imgae in Gimp. Once I opened an image everything was OK.

If I'm using a brush to erase/remove fragments/particles of an image, how can I get 100% removal of everything the brush touches? I don't want any "grey" transition fading left. I want to use a "splatter" brush to remove particles...completely.

I have picture I'm working on with several layers. There is an area of alpha, and a border around it on another layer and another layer has an image of some  leaves.  I'd there is a gap of alpha between the colored border and the leaves. I'd like paint or clone over the gap of alpha.

I've tried adding another layer, raising and lowering layers. It is just locked somehow. I've tried pressing the little chekerboard in the layers tool panel for each of them.

I've used GIMP for a number of years, and a number of features and tools, but only do a few now and then.  I never really use it enough to get proficient or retain how do things.

How can I to copy channel from one image to another image?

I have two images open. In one of them I created channels which I want to use in the second image as well.

How I do:
I select one of the created channels - Channel for selection.
From this selection I create a path - Select - To Path.
In the Paths tab, drag this created path over the thumbnail of the second image.
I open the second image, and now I reverse the operation, select the path and create a channel from that selection.

Is there another, faster and more efficient way to copy channels from one layer to another?

Thank you.

One from under the dust (tested on gimp 2.10.22 / windows 10). Easy erase cables, lines, etc....  :

Draw paths
   
Launch Resynthesize along a path, in gimp menu : right click on path layer, then Resynth along Path
Fil in the parameters
Width of the line to repair (= to erase object + a few pixels)
Radius to take texture from (= how much image info to take next to the object) 
   

In this PNG of 5 tally marks, the 5th one (going across) is visibly blacker & shinier than the others.  I'd like it to match the other 4, but I'm struggling to figure out what the difference is. 

Just grabbing pixels with the eye-dropper both sets seem about the same, a mix of solid black and colors that are close to black.  I thought it might be the alpha values, but I tried Layer > Transparency > Threshold Alpha and at 99% there's still a noticeable difference between the pixels that are left.

Any help greatly appreciated.

There used to be an official GIMP account on mastodon but it seems the instance is gone (I think it was mastodon.at or something ending with .at)
Did they decide not to create another account?

Good day everyone,

I have an image of a rain coat that I'd like to fill in with solid color.  You can see (link below) that it's a funky little design, but I'd like to fill it all in with a solid color.  Maybe leave the face alone but if that's too hard, then it can be filled in as well.

This is my real first foray into GIMP.  It obviously is very complicated and any start-up advice would be certainly appreciated.  I figure this one would be good to start off on?

I am very new to the Python scripting in Gimp. I have used Gimp in the past for manipulating individual images, but now I have to run specific operations on hundreds of images. So I checked into the scripting options. I discarded Script-fu, as I am familiar with programming languages like C, C++, etc., but the Schemes thing is quite different. Python, on the other hand is similar enough.

So, to start out I looked at some sample scripts like this one:

Hello,


What is the easiest way to explicitly crop from any edge? e.g. how to crop, say, 8px from the left, 10px from the right, and 12px from the bottom without using a mouse? A text box where I can enter the number or numbers I want would be good.

The instructions for changing a selection don't work for me. Can the same be done for a rectangular selection box using absolute or relative coordinates, i.e. a modal windows with four text boxes that dynamically shows the new selection rectangle on the image?


Thanks in advance
