I have recently installed the new 2.10.18 version of GIMP, but now the G'MIC plugin no longer works. When I launch GIMP, I get pop-ups saying the entry point cannot be found in C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\libgmodule-2.0-0.dil 

I noticed that the set up wizard for G'MIC 2.9 does not install the plugin in C:\Program Files, but in a file in C:\Users\[name].

Is this the reason the plugin isn't working? 
If so, what is the solution?

Side note - I had been using 2.8 version and G'MIC worked just fine, then updated to GIMP 2.10.6, and faced the same problem but did not pay attention to it then. I need to use the G'MIC plugin now, so if anyone has suggestions I'd be grateful.

Greetings, folks--
My problem is that I have 2 versions of GIMP installed on my computer (Linux Mint 19.1), 2.10.14 and 2.10.18.  I try to get rid of GIMP 2.10.14 and it looks like it is gone entirely, but when I go to install G'mic on GIMP 2.10.18 it brings back 2.10.14 and puts G'mic in that installation!  This has happened repeatedly so it is not a fluke.  Does anyone have any idea how I can get rid the 2.10.14 but have G'mic installed on the 2.10.18?  Thanks so much for your help.

Hi All,

I am interested in the color transformations of the tools like brightness-contrast, hue-chroma, hue-saturation, saturation, exposure, color balance, color temperature, ... 

Do you know where I can find the details of these tools, in particular the mathematical equations behind them?

Thank you in advance for your help.

I want to learn how to add a glossy blurred layer to a wallpaper (sample attached). I am unable to attach the one intended as it is 4K and heavy. But it looks more or less the same. It would be great to have some tips on the same.


Below is the one I made. Giving plain link as it is heavy (4K)

I'm trying to create a brush that I can color with. I saved it as a GBR and put it in my brushes folder, but instead of coloring in the foreground color, the brush will only color in black. How can I get it to change color? I'm a little frustrated rn.

I installed this version recently and noticed that a lot of things are missing from from the tools tab and I have to switch them from the tools menu. Anyway to change that? For example the scaling tool was already there, I didn't have to find it through the drop down menus.

Also, where is neon? I don't mean the one from edge detect but the other one. There used to be a menu that doesn't exist anymore, something like ' alpha to logo ' . Do I need to download it?

Some concepts

Gimp is a bitmap editor. Bitmap images are made of pixels and the number of pixels determines the amount of detail in the image (which is why the camera/smartphone manufacturers boast the number of megapixels that the camera can produce).

When the image is put on a physical media (displayed on a computer or printed) it becomes necessary to know how to map pixels to physical units. This correspondence is the resolution. It is usually expressed in pixels-per-inch (even in metric countries....), usually noted PPI. You will also find dots-per-inch (DPI) instead of pixels-per-inch[1]. Some resolution values to keep in mind:

• 72PPI: this is is a default value, often displayed when there is no value given. It more or less corresponds to the resolution of a CRT display of the 80s.
  
• 90PPI-140PPI: standard laptop displays
  
• 150PPI: "draft" quality when printing text (used when printing  good quality text took more time and more toner)
  
• 200-240PPI: high resolution displays on computers (Apple Retina, etc...)
  
• 300PPI: standard printer resolution
  
• 600PPI: high quality printer resolution.
  

   

• The size in pixels is a given and will not be changed
  
• Therefore adjusting the resolution also changes the print size and vice-versa
  
• The physical size may not be a round number due to the inch/mm conversion factor
  

   

• The image size can be entered in pixels or in physical units
  
• The resolution can be specified, and if the size input is in physical units Gimp will compute the required size in pixels (which is displayed under the size entry fields).
  
• The size in pixels is always a round number (there are no fractional pixels) so Gimp will adjust the entry to the closest size that corresponds to a round number of pixels.
  

   

• The rulers
  
• The pointer coordinates
  
• The output of the Measure tool
  

• For PDF and EPS, you can set a print definition or a size in pixels. These two values are related, changing one changes the other. The limit to this is that PDF and EPS can also contain embedded bitmap images and these cannot be scaled at will, so you cannot use a print definition much greater than the one the file was intended for. The default print definition on import is 100PPI, which is often smaller than the real definition of the image (300PPI), so don't forget to increase it when opening images.
  

• For SVG, you set a scale factor, that determines how much the image is enlarged/shrunk from the size set in the file. The Resolution setting sets the image print definition (so you can set image size and print definition independently).
  

Hello! New to this forum so I'll just ask my question...

When I click on things as "open as layer", "open", "export as" etc., (every time you open the Windows Explorer) GIMP freezes and does not respond.
After approx. 30 sec, the explorer Window opens.
This is getting very annoying and very unproductive when using many layers...
The strange part is, that I've used GIMP on this computer for a long time and I got this problem today.
I have tried to reinstall GIMP and to simply restart my computer.

I've found a solution to this on Reddit (link to the solution), but it doesn't seem to work for me as I do not have any Floppy Diskette Drive.

I'm running GIMP 2.10.18 on a Windows 10 x64 computer. 8 GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 1060 3GB, Intel Core i5-7500 @ 3,40 GHz.

Please someone help me!
Thanks in advance.

I've set the eraser tool's hardness and force to 100 with a hard edge ticked, and still the tool leaves som shades when I try to erase, and force me to click twice to get rid of all traces of the pixels... What am I doing wrong? Using GIMP 2.10.8

So i'm very new to using gimp and i have version 2.10 and in this video clip you will see i'm trying to edit
this sprite sheet by replacing a section of it with another image. When i test in game all of the animations i didn't touch still move because i didn't mess with them but the area i cut out and replaced doesn't animate at all. Can
someone help me to fix this? Oh and i'm testing this in RPG Maker MV, Thanks 

*update* for some reason none of my video links worked. sorry about that so i had to upload the
video on my facebook game page so please check out the issue there, thanks
