Hi there,
GIMP 2.10.38 as per screenshot  mac monterey 12.7.5. I am trying to paint in the mask in the top layer here, named "CURVE" since I made a curve on the leaves to bring them down. I am trying to select the mask. I am in the brush to feather the selection of the curve area .As I command click in the mask I get a red frame, but it's not that.
If I control click, edit layer mask is checked, unckecking doesn't change anything.
hardness and force are in the 80s. the bottom prompt shows the paint brush with: "click to paint". I know how to click and paint from the trackpad from
 20 years with the other app. When clicking in the mask, red frame or not, I am always showing a cursor in the circle, with the brush icon outside, so I am on the right track I suppose. Brush still not active.THANKS.

I am experiencing an issue trying to add semi transparency to this spectre and full transparency to the grey background.   I select the entire image and choose color to alpha, I select grey as the color... If I set the threshold (too low I guess) and it seems make the background this dark blue/green color that is not transparent at all?  What am I doing wrong?

Some guys sang : you can't always get what you want, but there is also 'WYSIWYM' (What You See Is What You Mean). For formulas in text, this is the text editor that uses it.

Hello, My PC is recent. Under Windows 11 or Linux Mint 22.1Xia After launching gimp2.10.36 as soon as I want to perform the first action, the screen goes black and the rest. I have to restart the machine. The graphics card is an Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650. The Windows drivers are up to date. Under Linux, games and videos work normally with the Mint driver What could be the problem?
Thank

Hi,
I just upgraded to Gimp 3.0 RC.2 on Debian 13 Trixie.

When I choose File - Export as... menu, there is no "Recents" option in the directory list.

When I choose File - Open menu, I can see the "Recents" option in the directory list.




Is that expected ? Thank you.

Subject: Issue with Python Script Support in GIMP 2.10.32+ on macOS Sequoia

Dear GIMP Development Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to report an issue I’ve encountered with Python script support in GIMP versions 2.10.32 and above on macOS Sequoia.

I have been using GIMP 2.10.30 on my Mac Studio running macOS Sequoia, and everything works perfectly regarding the creation and execution of Python scripts. The custom menu buttons are created as expected, and the scripts are listed and executed without any issues.

However, after upgrading to GIMP 2.10.32, I noticed that the custom Python scripts no longer function as intended. The custom menu buttons do not appear, and the scripts are not accessible or listed in the interface. It seems there is a change or a regression affecting Python script support in versions 2.10.32 and later on this specific macOS version.

Could you kindly look into this issue and provide any guidance on how it might be resolved? Additionally, if this is a known issue, is there a planned fix or a workaround that I can apply in the meantime?

Thank you for your hard work and dedication to improving GIMP. I look forward to your response and any assistance you can provide.

Best regards,
 Evert Vandeberg

Met vriendelijke groeten,

I've tried most of the GIMP transform tools and haven't found one that does what I want.
Attached should be a "before" picture of a grid in which all squares are the same size and shape.
I want to bring the bottom 2 corners of the image inward to achieve a keystone effect. I expect the squares in each row to become quadrilaterals (4 sided polygons) which are narrower than the original squares.
The problem is that all of the transform tools that I have tried also change the height of the rows. Note in that the quadrilaterals in the top row are taller than the original squares and definitely taller than the quadrilaterals in the bottom row, which are now shorter than the original squares.

The end goal is to use a GIMP transform to make an image narrower on one end (the bottom in this example) without distorting the image vertically. Alas, if I use transforms on an image of a person, the person's head will become taller and their legs will become shorter, which is not what I want.

As recommended in other posts (on the Unified Transform, for example) I have read the GIMP online docs and have experimented with various settings, including the pivot point in Unified Transform, but in all my attempts, the transforms have distorted the image vertically.

Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
PeytonR

in GIMP 2.10
When I write plug-in it runs multiple times fine
but if I add a
(PF_BRUSH, "brushname", "Brush:", 0),
as input
it only runs first time or I have to go to Filters/Reset All Filters to get plug-in input dialog to show up again.
Is that a bug? or is 0 in the line 
(PF_BRUSH, "brushname", "Brush:", 0),
causing this?
I tried (PF_BRUSH, "brushname", "Brush:", "Clipboard Image"), and that broke my plug-in altogether

Hey everyone!

I’ve been going through some old black-and-white photos and thought it would be fun to add some color to them. I’ve seen a few online tools that claim to do this, but I’m not sure which ones give the best results.
Has anyone tried Hotpot.ai or any similar tools? I’ve also come across Supertool, which seems to offer a variety of file editing features. Has anyone used it for photo coloring?
I’m looking for free or affordable options that are easy to use. Also, if you have any tips on making the colors look realistic and not too overdone, that would be super helpful!

Thanks so much in advance—looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

My son has a recipe, written on a piece of paper, that was laid on a piece of paper, then photographed.  I'm trying to get an end result of "just" the "text" / notes (in that photograph etc.)

I hope that makes sense.  Three layers so to speak, and some accompanying "unwanted artifacts." ("layers" are the desired text, the white base piece of paper, and the paper the recipe was written on, with some marks of spiral book  page marks on left edge.

Ideally, I like to get to a point where I can give him back an .SVG with "text only" on a transparent background so he can print it on some "type of media" with his laser machine.

The desire is getting that text off the paper on to a transparent background.  I'm just not able to figure "it" out.  I simply have tried so long, I've just thoroughly confused myself.  If any of you can spare a bit of time, any guidance would certainly be appreciated.

I am not an expert by any means with GIMP or graphic arts.  There is good contrast of the text and the paper.  I've tried to attach one of them, but I haven't been allowed to do that so far.  (there are 2 similar to be converted/extracted)  He wants to keep the authors "script."
