Tried to attach the file but too large oh well.. forgot how to do the compression thing. Anyway so my usual trick of scaling through the menu to get around the glitch in gimp where it sometimes deletes the picture when you scale it isn't working. The not disappearing part is working, but it refuses to obey the setting that has keep aspect off so it makes it smaller instead of narrower. Any recourse??

And yes there was plenty of room of layer boundary, and in fact since I was trying to make it narrower that isn't an issue anyway but just to be clear.. def a part of gimp that annoys but finally ran into situation where this trick doesn't work ugh!

Also, not sure if a person or general host runs this site but would be nice if the text written when you press back after it tells you request entity too large will still be there, as I needed to retype

I don't know which title could have been chosen better.

Maybe everything is normal, but ...
Only now have I noticed that there are two ofn-text-along-path scripts displayed in the menu;
• ofn-text-along-path
• ofn-text-along-path-Multi

But the strange thing is that:
• There is only one .py file for both. (ofn-text-along-path.py)
• I don't see any difference between them other than the name and that there are two of them on the menu, and that both work.

I don't know how I achieved this feat.

Is it supposed to be like this, like this?

If a layer has an alpha channel with partially transparent pixels (alpha = 1 to 254) the menu option "Layer/Transparency/Threshold Alpha..." can be used to make these pixels fully opaque (alpha = 255).

Is there an existing method for making any fully transparent (alpha = 0) pixels fully opaque (other than by painting over them everywhere they occur in the image)?

Ideally the Threshold Alpha tool would provide a way to do this but I guess it will come down to writing a script if there isn't one already.

(Edit: Just deleting the alpha channel causes any pixels that are not fully opaque to be filled with the background colour - so this, which might appear to be the easy answer, doesn't work)

This is primarily for Linux users, you need to keep the troublesome dialogue on top for drag-n-drop to work. 
No good for Windows users, this fix does not work  Windows users have a 'fixed' samj portable Gimp 2.10.18 as a fallback.

In Gimp 2.10.16 / 2.10.18 There is a bug which causes an error in a script-fu / plugin when a resource - font / brush / pattern etc - change is initiated, preventing the change.

This using Ofnuts text along path plugin.

   

(1) Change the font and it is not possible, Only the specified 'Sans' font usable.
(2) The dialogue has to remain above the main Gimp window for this, so set that property.
(3) The new font can be dragged and dropped into the dialogue for the change.
(4) That then applied as expected from one of Ofnuts plugins.

Old / ancient logo scripts as well, although these do not always work as expected in Gimp 2.10  (5) & (6) 

   

Bonjour,

J'utilise Gimp 2.10.12 et lorsque je copie une image et que je la colle sur une autre image en tant que calque elle ne se colle pas aux bonnes dimensions. Par exemple je prends une image qui fait 100x145mm et quand je la colle elle se colle à 105x150, est ce que quelqu'un aurait une solution à m'apporter pour que mes calques se mettent automatiquement aux bonnes dimensions ?

Merci à vous

Hello, I used to have access to ps. Now I am trying to replicate what I used to do with gimp.

In PS when I wanted to alter the color of an image I would add a layer that was a single color then blend it or alter its transparency, this would stay visible over every frame in the gif. How can I add color over an entire animated gif in gimp? I want to give images a brown or orange tone usually, sometimes lighter but usually those colors. 

If this isn't possible in a simple way, can you tell me a complicated way to replicate a tone over the top of all the gif frames? Thank you.

A saw the 3D text on the internet (made with inkscape) and I thought why not try this in gimp. Here's the flow :
- new layer (white)
- choose text Kenney Future Square (load it from https://www.1001fonts.com/search.html?se...re&x=0&y=0)
- type your text (here 'GIMP' / color light blue - name the layer GIMP)
- Tools / Transform Tools / Shear - value 120)
   
- Tools / Transform Tools / Rotate - value - 24,10)
   
Remark : in this case -24.10 , the 2 corner points the bottom of the 'G' must be in a vertical line (tip : use a raster)
- Chose a lighter foregrond color
- Make a new layer (transparent - in the example name it 'G')
- Make selections with the selection box on the 'G' layer (use shift for making multiple selections)
   
- Fill the selections with the lighter color (on the 'G' layer)
- Make the layer Gimp current layer
- With the 'Fuzzy Select Tool', select the 'G'
   
- Inverse the selection (on the gimp menu : Select / Invert)
- Make the 'GIMP' layer current layer
- Delete (on the keyboard)
- Select / None
- Now it looks that the 'G' is sinking down
- The same workflow for the other text characters

I following this tutorial, getting good but from min. 7 on the thing he does is not working for me.
I just draw blak lines on a face.
Not an easy question I know, but what do I do wrong.
Also when I use descaling ,I don't see the grid and can't make my picture smaller.
I work on a Mac.

Kind regards.

fuzzy selecting an item to stroke an outline, but i don't want the gaps within it to be outlined as well. When I try to deselect the gaps it just drops the entire selection. Any way around this while still using the fuzzy select tool and not paths?

I have several hundred scanned pages I received as 1-bit images. The person that scanned them left a LOT of specks 1 to 10 pixels in diameter. To manually remove them will take weeks. Is there a script that will select all the specks and change them to background color and then save them as the same file name?

The text is rather bumpy, but I doubt there is anything that can be done with that.

Thanks Sandy
