I updated my MacBook last night to Big Sur and tried to use Gimp but the program didn't work at all. I'm not able to select by color, Fill with BG/FG nor am I able to edit any images. I've reinstalled the program multiple times in hopes of it working again but all failed, is anyone else facing anything like this? I've updated my laptop before as well but never faced any problems like this. Please let me know ASAP! thanks

The brush loads fine on GIMP, but sadly it is always a black imprint, no matter what Foreground colour I choose. I remember setting the colour to null somewhere during the process. It will be nice to learn how to fix this and make the brush honour the FG colour. Thanks.

Since the last couple of days, possibly after 2.10.22 update, only the " Basic " set of brushes are visible. Others are there in the .config folder and they are set properly under folder path. But only " Basic " set it visible / selectable. Others are greyed out. I haven't touched any settings in a while. Any help on this will be awesome. Thanks.

Hi
I will try to create my own boardgame and the background shall be a map. I would like it to look interesting and playful, something similair to the attached image. 
Does anyone have an idea of how i can turn a real map, eg Google maps, into this? It doesnt have to look exactly as the image but something that is suitable for a boardgame.

Maybe is possible to create a "stroke pattern" as the coastline or what do you suggest is the best approach? 

How to mention person on forum in text? Symbol @?

Hello,

I need to upload a mask to my shopify store for my clothing products so I can have a live preview of a chosen color on the product. my question is, can someone point me to documentation on how to make a layer mask of a logo that is on an image? I've tried googling the solution but I may not be using the right terms because I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. 

so for example, I have uploaded a picture of one of my hats. I have a 10 main colors that the Hat can be but the logo can be any color. Rather than uploading a ton of different images I am trying to have one picture for each product and then have the color previews so users can choose their color scheme. so how can I go about creating a mask of the logo on the image attached so I can upload to to shopify for the live preview? 

Here is a youtube video of something similar to what I'm looking to do. from 0:45-0:50 is what I am looking to create but for the logo attached.

I really hope all my ramblings made sense but if not please let me know so I can clarify. 

Thanks in advance for your help!

I have a requirement where I have to change the colour of this purple to green and yellow. I tried " selecting by colour, delete and then fill " . Then tried " Colorize ". Both had its own issues. Mainly burrs on the edges in the first case and the cloud colour also changing in the second method. So I gave up miserably and tried to select white, add a layer on top and then fill it with white. So that I get cloud and it is easier for me to manage the rest. But as you can see in the image above, there is this strange fog at the edges of the fill. Kindly help me fix it. Thanks.

Hi, 


I'm new to Gimp and I need to use it from the command line as it is part of an automation process. 
I'm starting with a super simple command : 

gimp-2.10.exe -i -b "(let* ((image (car (file-tiff-load 1 C:\Users\Camille\Documents\test.tif C:\Users\Camille\Documents\test.tif)))))"

I keep getting this error: 

batch command experienced an execution error:
Error: eval: unbound variable: C:\Users\Camille\Documents\test.tif

I did lots of forum but I haven't found anything working. Also I tried with adding single/double quotes but doesn't change anything. I tried with -b "(gimp-quit 0)" in the end but doesn't change anything either and same when I use gimp-console-2.10.exe. 
I'm running the command with windows 10. 

Can anyone help me?

I am aware that this has been mentioned in various ways earlier throughout the forum; however, they are just old enough and I'm not completely sure if they are the same issue that I am having.  

As the subject says my version of gimp seems to ALWAYS freeze while I try to scale my drawing(s).  I thought I found a work around and scale it slowly, but it doesn't help.  At least not for a long substantial time.  

My computer is brand new (relatively speaking.  I bought it back around Feb/March).  It's a gaming computer.  

According to my info.  (Not completely sure what is important). 

16 gb of ram (15.8 useableseale) 


64 bit os 

Windows C drive has 743 GB free of 929 GB 

My CPU usage at this point as I type this:  

I have five apps open (browser with three tabs; GIMP; task manager, system info box; file tab).  
CPU is at 3% usage (changing of course) 
37% memory. 

All in I should have more than enough power to run/keep running the program.  

Using 2.10.22 (the previous version before updating was doing the same thing.  I thought perhaps updating would help).  

I cleaned out my hardrive / junk/ etc.  

I am at a lost of what else to do.  

Thank you advance for any assistance, and as per assistance please keep it noob-level.  I know enough about computers to break them... not fix them after they're broken.
