Hi everyone,

first post here - please be gentle :-)

I have a number of images and I'd like to add a white border around them to make them look more like a photograph. Can I use a batch process for that or will I need to do one at a time?

Thanks!

This workaround was done in Windows 10, and would have to be verified for other OS.

I found a way of getting liquid rescale to work on 2.10.18 revision 2 in Windows 10. It's a workaround, and since it requires a "dirty" install I don't really like it. However, until in works normally I'm doing it this way.

• Assuming we're starting with a clean install, first install Gimp 2.10.14 revision 3 (gimp-2.10.14-setup-3)
  
• Second, copy the liquid rescale plugin files, inside their own folder, to the plug-ins folder (If installed for all of users it's usually C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins  OR  if installed for a single user it's usually C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins )
  
• Third, run Gimp so that it loads the plugin.
  
• Fourth, install Gimp 2.10.18 revision 2 (gimp-2.10.18-setup-2) over the 2.10.14 rev 3 installation. In other words, don't uninstall the previous version (don't perform a clean install). DO NOT RUN GIMP YET.
  
• From here there are various paths depending on how the installation was done:
  

1. Wether Gimp was installed for all users, or just a single user, if the liquid rescale plugin files were copied into their own folder, then everything should be working fine.
   
2. If Gimp was installed for a single user and the liquid rescale plugin files the plugin files were were not copied into their own folder, then you have to copy them again.  This is because, when we installed 2.10.18 rev 2 over the previous installation of 2.10.14 rev 3, the liquid rescale plugin DLL was deleted. If you run Gimp before recopying the files an error will pop-up and the plug-in will no longer be recognized by Gimp. To fix it, you will need to do a clean reinstall from 2.10.14 rev 3.
   
3. If Gimp was installed for all users and the liquid rescale plugin files the plugin files were were not copied into their own folder, then you have to copy them again.  This is because, when we installed 2.10.18 rev 2 over the previous installation of 2.10.14 rev 3, the liquid rescale plugin DLL was deleted. If you run Gimp before recopying the files the plugin will work. It will give an error saying the required DLL is missing. To fix it, just recopy the plugin files and restart Gimp.
   

Hi guys,

is there any way how to use the Align function to actually arrange two layers side-by-side in a way that the second layer, let's say its left edge, will jump to where the right edge of the first layer ends? Something as if putting together a stitched image. At the moment, Align only aligns left edge to left edge, if you know what I mean...

Or is there a different function? Some 'snap' or something? Otherwise I have to drag the layer #2 manually (using Move) and zoom in to align and not overlap a single pixel of the two layers).

Thx Gimp masters

So, my current goal is trying to match these ladies with the background. I would like to adjust their lighting and color to make it better suit the background. I have already tried adjusting curves using a grey luminosity layer but they still look weird to me. I can find other pictures to use if these pictures fundamentally won't work together, but I would love not having to do that. And when I do color match, I have trouble telling which colors match and which colors don't, so I would prefer comparing point values rather than matching colors by eye. Any suggestions?

When using Heal-selection this popup appears.   I did install synthesiser tools.    

I have some old engineering drawings that were created using the diazo process nearly 60 years ago. The paper is yellowed with age and there is spotting from mold and mildew over the years. Most of the lines are pretty much intact, but in may places the text is illegible.

Originally the print would have had a light blue to white background with dark blue lines. Something like this.



I don't need to recreate the original "look", I just need to enhance the the text to make it legible. Ideally grayscale for printing on white paper. Background noise isn't an issue. This is a research project. Being able to read the faded text when printed more important than overall aesthetics.

I've experimented with the Levels and Curves tools. So, so results.  Looking for ideas or a process to get the best results. Thanks Sandy

Here is a sample from one of the sheets.

   

I have got it to draw lines in gimp, but is it possible to move this line around.

Newbie here!

My GIMP window looks as shown below. However, when I try to export image to tif, almost all is white. What's wrong? Have I selected incorrect layers? I'm very new to GIMP, I'm using it to remove speckles before OCR-ing a book.

Hi guys, 
I could really appreciate your help with a problem that I lately have with my GIMP program (version 2.10.18). 
If I want to scale a part of the picture with shift + t (Windows). I get this notification that there's no path to transform, but I really have no idea what that means.
I have selected a layer and selected the picture in it. So can somebody explain to me what I'm doing wrong? 


I have attached a screenshot of the notification, but it's in Dutch. 
The literal translation: There is no path to transform.

I'm not sure if that is the best way to word it, but regardless. What I am trying to do is take a drawing that was 48X48 to start with and have it display in full resolution while I draw what I am actually trying to draw... Why dose it have to be so hard to word this?


And yes, I know there would be no way to get an image to show as a higher resolution than it was. I only want it to show that way for reference
while I am drawing.
