Cursor turns into this 'brush' and can't get rid of it.  New to Gimp and want to edit images to get acquainted.   Tried using the toolbox and clone tool give me this.   Just can't go back to a plain cursor.  Cntrl-Z doesn't help.

Disclaimer:I have zero knowledge on GIMP and I'm using it only because it's the free alternative to Photoshop. 
So my problem is: I need to add an image to another file that is in Grayscale set in default. When I try to add an image, that Image to becomes gray too. How do I restore that image colors or prevent it from becoming gray?

I'd like to enable my Midi Fighter Twister (16 rotary encoders) to control certain GIMP parameters such as airbrush size, rate, flow; layer blending mode, opacity; mask visible/not, etc.

I am using GIMP 3.0.6 on an M1 Mac Mini running Tahoe 26.1

In      Preferences -> Input Controllers -> Configure Input Controller        I see a "MIDI" option, but there is no dropdown to choose a connected controller and I've tried a variety of names corresponding to the midi devices that are listed in Mac OS "Midi Audio Setup", e.g. ("Midi Fighter Twister", "IAC Driver").

The Midi Fighter Twister is connected and works properly in my DAW. 

Does anyone have any tips on this issue?

Thanks!

I am running  version 3.0.6 in Windows 11.
In the Roaming folder there is a folder for version 2.10 and a folder for version 3.0.
All of the subfolders appear to be present,  but for example Brushes is empty in both versions.
Why is there a folder for for Version 2.10 when the app is not listed in Setup?
How do I customise the brush folder?

Is version 3.0.6 good or is it still being developed? I have had problems with painting on layers and using layer masks.
Should I revert to Version 2.10?

Hi, I'm not very experienced with Gimp. I recently updated to version 3.0.6 rev 1. Previously, I could display multiple new image icons below the main menu bar, but now I can't find how to do it in Preferences. Has the feature that allowed closing images with a single click been removed? 
Thanks for help

Happy Holidays Everyone!

I am back with another problem. Is there an easy way to crop out each image individually? I did one by hand.

Thanks 

   

   

Sometimes you come across a graphics program that's worth exploring. Completely free for personal use and available for Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Using either Gimp 3.0.6 or Gimp 2.10, on a Mac currently running Sequoia 15.6.1, the font list shows a lot of fonts with names beginning with a dot, including a lot of ".SF ..." fonts. I don't know where they are. I can't find them on the drive. I want to delete them or at least keep them from showing up on the Gimp font list.

Same thing occurs on an older Mac running High Sierra 10.13.6, but on that system the "dotted" fonts are in alphabetical order ignoring the dot, while onthe newer Mac they're at the top of the list.

I still want to know where they are and whether I can get them off the font list.

For those who still want to use 8bf files in GIMP 3, here's a solution: https://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=21600. Tested with GIMP 3.2.0-RC2 and this plugin works. Some 8bf files are not usable.

Hi guys,


Under Windows, I have been using GIMP for years... actually... for decades. Every new version was a loved improvement.

I have 2.10 installed on 3 computers... effff PhotoShop!

But Windows 11 is not an OS... it's an AS. An Advertising System. That's it! Effff Microsoft. In the past I had Linux boxes, Fedora 8, CentOS 4. So I'm back at Linux... Fedora 42 KDE.

Install GIMP... 3.0.6... What the Hell?

Default is cut&paste is as a new layer and when you want to move it, it selects the top layer!!! You got to go Shift click so to move the layer you ARE ON???

The tool tips are mad and there's no way to disable them... if GTK 3 is crap... you don't use it. You're going to irreversibly damage your installed base.

I'm trying to do a simple livery a racing game and in 2.1 it would 4 to 6 hours. I've just wasted the whole day and I'm barely halfway. 3... is a regression.


I apologize but I'm not a happy camper right now.
