Hi, I have a problem with Path selection alignment in Gimp 2.8. In a 1920 x 1080 file (with 72.00 x 72.00 resolution), I would create a square selection with the dimensions of 500 x 500 px. Out of that selection I would create a Path using 'To Path' option:

   

Up until this point everything is OK. However, I would then export the path using 'Export Path...' in 'Paths' tab. For further editing, I open the exported path in Inkscape:

   
   

Perhaps I import it wrong, but I never get the correct pixel dimensions like in Gimp (no matter what DPI value is set). For instance 500 x 500 from Gimp, would always be 668 x 668 pixels in Inkscape. Although, you can resize it to correct dimensions. Now, if I want to save the file (whether as 'Inkscape SVG (*.svg)' or 'Plain SVG (*.svg)'), certain issues arise if I want to use it again in Gimp.

When I import it (using 'Import Path...' in 'Paths' tab), 'Move Tool' selection box and the 'Path to Selection' option are completely out of sync:

   

It is also impossible for me to align it to the grid:

   

This is not the case only with Inkscape, for the same thing happens if i would rotate or scale the Path in Gimp itself (occasionally). I really don't understand what's going on or how to align it properly. Has anyone encounter this problem and knows what the issue is? Any help or insight would be much appreciated.

Thanx.

Hello, Im sort of new to GIMP here. After installing it on my Win10, all the UI elements seem to be cluttered and really close together, it is pretty hard to navigate within such a cluttered UI. Is there a way to add more spacing somehow? I saw other screenshots from Gimp and there the UI looks fine, but for some reason all the spacing is gone on my computer. Using the latest version of GIMP (2.10)
I added a screenshot of how cluttered the UI appears.

Image(s)
   

I have a PDF file which contains some pages
I'd like to convert them into images files, one image for one page,
e.g. jpg, png

Can I do it with GIMP?

Due to the nature of the work I do with gimp, I frequently export many images (sometimes hundreds) while working. Each image is saved as a bmp with the same file name, with only a number increasing by one each time. I have already sped up this process with keyboard shortcuts, but taking the time to name each image and increasing its number by one as to not overwrite the previous has become increasingly tedious. Is there anyway I can automate this process further? The only thing that needs to change for each file name is to increase the number by 1, is there any possible way to automate this in gimp? Thanks for your help.

GIMP 2.10.20

1) Wacom One sensitivity not working. Set to 'screen' and tried with 'opacity pressure' setting. I've watched the youtube tutorials and this is impossible to screw up yet its not working. I think there is a bug.

2) "shift+[" and "shift+]" are not working. These are default shortcuts to de/increase the brush size by 10.  De/increase by 1 with '[' and ']' work fine. 

Any help at all is appreciated. Thank you.






PS I wrote this already and then when I pressed post it said request to large and deleted everything I wrote. Gimp has me very confused and ready to go back to paint.net. 

I'm very new to gimp - but a pro at photoshop...trying to make the switch since adobe switched to stupid monthly payments...
I'm trying to simply paint with the brush but for some reason it doesn't use a solid color but instead paints using what's on my clipboard. So when I clip the brush my clipboard image suddenly pastes & I keep clicking it- over & again tons of my clipboard image as if it were a paint color. What is this? The same thing happens when I try to use pencil...

I have a layer which is 600x600 (size of a passport photo), and I paste a larger image (a person's portrait), which I resize so the person's face fits in the boundary.  Other parts of the photo (e.g. above the head and below the neck) are not relevant for this purpose.

It used to be (2.8.xx) that after my resizing and then finally anchoring the selection to that layer (clicking outside the pasted area), the pasted part of the image outside the layer boundaries was cropped out.

However, I just updated to 2.10, and when I paste the image to the layer, the layer's boundary adjusts to the size of the pasted image.  I tried locking the layer, but then I can't paste into it.  Is there some setting to revert to the previous behavior??   I depended on the window/auto-crop behavior, which gave me exactly the size image I needed.

I can figure out how to take two images and paste them into a new image.

I opened both images along with a new image and tried pasting the 2 images into the new image.

Can someone please help me ?

Thanks.

Anyone familiar with GAP 2.7 and MPlayer on win 10?
Thanx
