Hi. I want to select the opposite of what is currently fuzzy selected. This at first glance would look like invert selection but it it's not. The selection has soft edges and when inverted it selects the remaining unselected pixels. And the selection is hard edged.
Intuitively when I invert selection I expect to select 1-alpha of the already selected pixels, plus  the -- until then -- unselected pixels.

I have an image im looking to ad an outline to but part of the image is black and other is white . what im looking to do is ad a black outline round the white and white round the black. I can get the outline but im wondering if there is anyway to change only parts of the outline colour and not it all at once. Im newish to gimp so there may be a way or something someone could recommend .

Adding some effects to a video clip using gimp_gmic_qt and BIMP. Of course the video was rendered to frames for this. A bit of brightening and the Kuwahara gmic filters, turned out a bit like pixelation.   However the real story is in the audio.

New to the forum. Let me know if this is in the wrong place.

After the "Edit with Gimp" button disappeared from the Explorer context menu I've reassigned the context menu Edit button to send images to Gimp.

When I select multiple images and click Edit in Explorer, they're loaded into Gimp, but not in alphabetical order. This is very annoying. Is there a reason for this? When the images are loaded in a jumbled order it's very hard to get a good overview and see which images are similar and need similar editing (I edit plant photos and the files are named after the plant species and variety).
Is the load order deliberately set in a different way (=not alphabetical) because more people prefer it that way? If not; is this something that could be ammended in a coming release, or offered as an option in the Gimp preferences?

Opening the images through Gimp lets me load them in alphabetical order, but I move the finished images around on my harddrive, so since I'm in Explorer in between editing it's faster for me to load the next bunch directly from Explorer.


Another thing that is also mildly annoying but not a big deal: When Gimp is closed and I select, say 10, images and click Edit in the Explorer contect menu; 10 separate Gimp windows are opened. When Gimp is already opened, the 10 images are instead loaded into Gimp in one window as they should be. Can this be ammended or is it a Windows thing?

Hello, I'm Gimp user on Linux, and I just migrated from Photoshop CS6 (in order to don't suffer using Wine). I installed PhotoGimp mod and was ready to use the soft, when I found the abscence of Layer Effects (or any analogue) in Gimp. I surfed the net to find the solution and learned about the Layer Effects plugin. I correctly (I'm sure about that) installed it, however, I couldn't make it work (show up in "Layer" or in "Script-Fu"). As I understand it, this problem is popular and still does not have a single correct solution.

So I’ve dabbled in scripting before but am not super well versed in it. However, I just took on a position at my job doing image editing for our online webstore. I’m able to do it easy enough in GIMP, but it’s doing the same edit over and over and I know that there has to be a way to script it so that I can do so more efficiently, I just have been having a hard time trying to understand how to write the script. I have access to Python-fu and Script-fu, but would prefer to use Python. 
So here’s what I do to each image. Once I’ve gone through and manually selected what I need to, I do the same series of actions every time, and this is what I’m trying to script:

1. Layer > Transparency > Add Alpha Channel

2. Edit > Clear (or Hit Delete)

3. Deselect (Not absolutely necessary)

4. Image > Canvas Size > Height: 950 > Width: 950 > Center > Resize

5. File > Export As > ‘file name’.png > Export (Exporting the image and changing it from jpg to png)


And that’s it. I open an image, select the background, and then do those same steps every single time. So I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out the script for doing this every time. It would expedite the process to go so much quicker and I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Is there a way to fix images with distorted round objects to perfect round objects? I think of a plugin / script where one can place a few points on the distorted circle or use a path / selection. Playing with the different gimp tools is time consuming to get a good result. An example to correct :
   

I hope someone here will help with a problem that repeatedly happens and basically (overnight, it seems!) has made GIMP unusable:

I open a photo.  Highlight some area.  Hit either Edit > Cut, Edit > Copy, or Cntl-x or Cntl-c, and poof, GIMP crashes.  Every time.

It doesn't seem to matter the size of the document or area I'm trying to copy.

I saw some thread on another forum saying if on has CopyQ installed that may cause issues, but I don't believe I do.  (I'm running Lubuntu 20.04LTS, a vanilla install, nothing modified.  It's LXQt, if that matters.  And my system is a newish Dell with 40GB of RAM, so I doubt it's a memory problem.)

I desperately need to fix this or find a work around.  Here's the output when I run GIMP from the command line:

me@home:~$ gimp
using gegl copy

(gimp:248888): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 22:06:25.414: IA__gdk_window_get_events: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

(gimp:248888): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 22:06:25.414: IA__gdk_window_set_events: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed
The program 'gimp' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 95997 error_code 3 request_code 18 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Thank you in advance for any help.
