Hello all,

I'm new to this forum.

I have been a big fan for gimp and had been using gimp for many years.

I have also recently come back to linux world after "ditching" it for some reasons.

Am currently using Mac OSX and Linux Mint 19 simultaneously.  

To cut the story short, LM is installed with Gimp 2.10.14 (flatpak) and Mac with 2.10.12. I found this weird behavior when I was editing my photos with Luminosity Masking technique. I notice that on the "Light" and "Midtone" layers, all manipulation (e.g contrast, exposure etc) does not have any effect at all, only the "Dark" layers have effects. 

At first I thought it was due to my photos but when I edit the same photos with the same technique on my Mac machine with Gimp 2.10.12, everything works, so to prove that this is caused by ver 2.10.14 and not Linux Mint, I installed 2.10.14 on my Mac and the results were of the same on Linux, only the "Dark" layers works.

Has anyone face the same issues as mine?

I don't mind downgrading Gimp to 2.10.12 on my Linux machine, but I guess I have to do the manual installation approach which I might crash the entire system.

Hope someone or the developer can shed some lights? 

Thanks in advanced.

Hello rich2005! Please, again, I ask for your great help. I'm trying to apply the Filters / Enviro filter
Soon. However, at the end of the settings window to say "OK", it is not appearing, as it is covered by the taskbar. See attached.

I have seemingly activated "out of gamut" mode for my color selection and can not deactivate it. Any color selected outside of a certain range gets a magenta triangle in it's preview.

I tried going to preferences > Color management > and unchecking the box... but gimp is still limiting me to grey, black, and white colors only. It's just not letting me use any other colors.

I even went for a full, clean reinstall and my color pallet is still limited severely.

I am assuming there is a short cut key or something that I can press that will fix this... but I can't find any information on it. Please advise.

Hello,

does anyone know any workaround that allows using pinching warp tool (available in 2.10) automatically along curve? It seems to have been omitted in the drop-down where one select a tool for patch drawing. Maybe there is a script for that? Thanks in advance.

I don't know how I did this, but my Toolbox and Layers got scrambled up, so I reset them to default. Now the Toolbox settings are in Layers and both Toolbox and layers are fixed (not dockable). The only fix I can think of is to uninstall and reinstall. Gimp 2.10.12.

Any help?

Thanks in advance!

I have some homemade brushes I made and no longer want.
I cannot find out how to erase these unwanted ones.

I surfed the Internet and found a couple of replies but none worked for me.
For example, one suggested using the trash container icon at the bottom. I
could not find any trash containers.

Windows 10
GIMP 2.10.14

Hello all, and thanks in advance.
I am new to using GIMP and having some frustrations that I cannot overcome. I have used photoshop in the past so am somewhat familiar with the general functions of GIMP, but here are my issues

I am trying to create labels for products I am manufacturing. I want the finished image to have a transparent background so I can print on colored paper.
1) How can I select all layers (at once) to copy and paste into label template?
2) When I paste the text layer into template, the font quality decreases dramatically. How do I increase richness of text?

Thank you

Hi All,
Can anybody suggest what am I missing, here? (Apart from the good sense to quit when I'm beaten, I mean).

I've got around again to investigating the 'Gimp only shows the default font when I try and use a font' problem on Windows 10, as shown in this thread: Gimp-Forum – Fonts Can't Be Used 

However, I don't seem to be able to clear the fonts I'm investigating out of Gimp!


  Gimp fonts list 02.webp (Size: 5.47 KB / Downloads: 255)

The fonts are DEFINITELY NOT IN: 
C:\Windows\Fonts
C:\Users\QuinB\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts†
C:\Users\QuinB\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\fonts†
C:\Users\QuinB\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\fonts_storage§
%PROGRAMFILES%\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\fonts†
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps

†Listed in Edit > Preferences > Folders > Fonts
§ Referenced by the Sean Bogie, MareroQ, Ofnuts' addonCollectionManager-3.0

The Windows services
Windows Font Cache Service
and 
Windows Presentation Foundation Font Cache 3.0.0.0
were disabled, the system rebooted and 
C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\FontCache and C:\Windows\System32\FNTCACHE.DAT deleted (and verified as deleted) before a further reboot and restart of the above services.
(I've even tried refreshing the fonts in Gimp after many restarts of the same)
And yet the fonts are still listed on Gimp, as shown above.

Again, can anybody suggest what I'm missing???

I am running 2.10.14 and I Install GAP 4.10.2 

Then  go to preferences/folders/plugins and then add the GAP folder to plug-in then restart. 

I have tried this a few times with the same result-of this error: 
" The code execution cannot proceed because cygwin1.dll was not found. Reinstall the program may fix this problem." 

What am I doing wrong.

Is there someway to control the precision used when opening a file via RawTherapee?

Right now it always ends up in 16-bit integer, but I'd prefer 16-bit float mode. I'm hoping it'll actually use a float export as to avoid clipping, but it'd also be convenient enough if it just auto-converted afterwards, saving me the extra step.
