Hi 

I'm learning Gimp working through the manual about 6 hours per day for a week now. My first goal is to be able to design a look for my music work online, and if possible, to be printed on paper as well.

I'm planning to press domestically my first album to CD (here in Japan) and I see that all companies have their own unique templates that only use Adobe programs. I understand this is serious professional work and Adobe is the industry standard but... still, I'd like to ask you guys:

Is there's any remote chance that one can have some autonomy and being able to do this kind of work in Gimp dealing with CD pressing companies requirements without using Adobe programs? 

OR, either you'll have to become an Adobe software user or you'll have to pay for the pressing company to design everything for you, which will increase the costs a lot for sure. 
Is this correct?

Please let me know what you guys think.
I need some reality check.

Hi,

This is a very simple problem, but when I try a bucket fill through a Python-fu call, I always get a "Fill similar colors" result when I need "Fill whole selection". I can't seem to find the relevant setting in the listed context setters for the procedure (I'm looking here). What am I missing?

Thank you!

How to reply the issue ?

Linux tested: Debian, Arch Linux, Manjaro, Ubuntu, Linux Mint
Version: Gimp 3.0.4
Monitor: 4k LG(3820 x 2160)
Gimp window size: 1920 x 1080

If I click on large image for opening it in Gimp,it will open it of course.
But Gimp window will immediately resize itself to the image size.

Thank you.

I created a forum identity specifically to complain about a tiny problem with the interface which frustrates the crap out of me.

If you click a button on the toolbox (to change tools), then move the mouse off the toolbox button without releasing the button, the tool doesn't change.

So, I'll click, for example, the eyedropper button quickly, but move the cursor off the toolbox before releasing

Then click the picture and put down a dot of color - because the tool didn't change.

Essentially - the interface ignores attempts to change tools if you don't both click-and-release over the control button.

This nuisance is easily reproduced and with the small size of the toolbox controls, probably introduces a lot of bother to people's operation.
I can understand canceling the selection when you hold the mouse button down to bring up the context menu...

but even if you click on a control and then smear over other controls before releasing the mouse, the control and intent is definitely on the Mouse button down operation.
This nuisance seems easy to fix. Please deal with it soon in a future version.

Hello
i can't modify or create a MyPaint brush preset. As you can see in the picture i've created a folder on the user home for the main brushes of MyPaint with the rights to write but the editing buttons on the frame are still grey.
   
   
   

I have installed Gimp 2.10 on my Windows 11 on my laptop. 
I have installed several times, including once when I temporarily shutting down my avg system.
However I never have been able to get a 'complete' installation.
I can find this since when using Edit->Preferences->Folders I do not see all the folders that should be there.
I believe this problem is preventing things such as effective messages from the python 2.7 scripts I am working on.
How can I get a complete installation?

I'm creating a python script to load a custom image format (.PRS with the magic string "YB").  But I'm having trouble getting even a skeleton file loading plugin to work.  This is what I've been able to reduce my code down to:

In the latest Gimp 3.1.3 (appimage) are vector layers, so they will be in Gimp 3.2 when it comes along.

You can make your own path and apply a fill and stroke which remains editable. You can apply transformations - just remember to work in paths mode. 

Path Tool Options looks like this:

So I am developing a video game which uses a built-in color palette similar to old MS-DOS games. Because of this, I need a program that will convert all the colors in an image to the closest color in a given color palette. Unfortunately, my game's color palette has more than 256 colors (around 2000), so I can't just convert all the images I want to turn into sprites to indexed mode. The best method I've found so far is to use the Select by Color Tool and manually convert every color in the image to match my palette. Does anyone know a way to convert images to a color palette instantly besides indexed mode?

Is there a sample file with many (or all) default fonts I can look at? For example, the same phrase--Hello, World!--is rendered in a number of fonts?
