  No layers saved in Gimp 3.0 from old svg/xcf files.
Posted by: inspector - 01-31-2025, 01:10 AM - Forum: Gimp 2.99 & Gimp 3.0 - Replies (2)

Greetings all,

I've used multiple versions of Gimp over the years, although I would not say I'm very good.  It's my first time using Gimp 3.0.0-RC2 (or any 3.0).  Currently running Suse Tumbleweed.

I have svg files created using older versions of gimp (from August of last year, unsure of the edition).  I successfully opened these files in 3.0 but all of my layers are gone.  It's compressed them into a single layer.   Same with xcf-1.0 and xcf 2.0 files.

Is there anything I can do besides going back to Gimp 2.0?  

Apologies if this has already been asked and thanks for your help!

Online, but interesting to try : AI text remove : https://www.experte.com/image-cleaner/text-remover

I tried the text remover on a BW photo with colored text. Just painted letters, one by one.

  Gimp Text Tool writing in Green Colour
Posted by: daiappy - 01-27-2025, 12:37 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Can anyone help me here, please?  I can only get the Text Tool to write in a green colour, or black. It was all ok last time I used the text tool some weeks ago & I could get any colour from the pallette.   What am I doing wrong or has something changed?
I am using Gimp 2.10.38 on Windows 11. I have attached a file.

AI preliminary design for a better mousetrap

Paradolia portrayed by screenshot from "Make a Simple AM Radio , Receives All International Radio Stations" posted on YouTube by Inventor KR.

Pareidolia is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one detects an unintended object, pattern, or meaning.

  Quick Easy Batch Operations ?
Posted by: BuckSkin - 01-25-2025, 11:47 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I hope I can explain this...

I have been using Photoshop Elements 7 for years.

95% of the images I run through Elements get one or two same operations and then get saved as both a PSD and a jpeg.

Now, this is why I have been investigating GIMP, the version I have is 2.10.34

When I save from Elements, much of my Metadata gets stripped and I have to meticulously replace it, especially iptc data and keyword tags.

When I export the same jpegs from GIMP, all of my Metadata remains intact save for GIMP stripping away the "Subject" in "Properties" and stripping away the embedded comment.

If I could get GIMP to perform my operations in quick batch form like I am able to with Elements, I would switch to using GIMP.

Here is my usual procedure:

I load a folder full of photos in Elements 7.

I may drag the Background layer of some photos on top of others while looking at all of them in tiles.

Then, I have a one-click batch process that duplicates the stamped-visible layer, adds High Pass Sharpen with Soft Light Mode and a layer mask, and then adds a Stamp-Visible layer on top of that. 

Then, I have a one-click process that saves all open photos at once as PSD and saves them in a specified folder that does not change until I change it, even if the program is closed and reopened.

Then, I have another one-click process that saves them all as jpeg and saves them in a different specified folder.

Is it possible to duplicate this process in GIMP; and, if so, how ?

I have studied the manual and made several attempts at this and always give up in frustration.

I am using a Windows 7 Pro machine.

Thanks.

  ofn-text-along-path issues
Posted by: skyeisqueer - 01-24-2025, 09:14 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (4)

I've been trying to set up the ofn-text-along-path plugin/extension for the past few days, and it's just not showing up in GIMP. I assume I've done something horribly wrong, but I have no idea what. In the various forum posts I've looked at about it, and the docs that came in the .zip, it should show up in the path right click menu -> Tools -> Text Along Path..., but the Tools dropdown just isn't there. I'm assuming I've installed it wrong, or there's a dependency I'm missing, or something, but I'm just not sure what it is. It could be that I've done something else horribly wrong.

There's also always the possibility that its NixOS's fault, but I highly doubt it. The attached screenshot should contain all relevant information, but if there's something missing, I can provide it.

  Policy change
Posted by: Ofnuts - 01-24-2025, 01:54 PM - Forum: Gimp-Forum.net - Replies (5)

Due to the inordinate amount of spamming (we manually purge over 100 spammers per day, and these are the ones that percolate though the automatic defenses), we have to change our policies a bit.

  • Posts by new users ("Registered" users) are moderated as long as the spamming weather is bad.
  • "Registered" users become "Regular" users once their first post is accepted (with the privileges you are used to)
  • All current "Registered" users have been promoted "Regulars", so there should be no impact (tell us otherwise)
Now hopefully taking some popcorn and watching the moderation queue...
