I am trying the smart sharpening recommendation posted on the Gimp web site. But in Image -> Mode menu HSV does not show up as an option 

I am on the current Mac OS version on my M1 Mac mini and just downloaded GIMP from the official website today. 

Why is RSV missing? What do I do t get it to show up?

I appreciate any help you can provide.

I have a bunch of older pics from family and would love to sharpen them up.

See attached screen snap images.

Thanks,
Guy

PS. An older version showed the same thing on this same Mac earlier today.

Any tips? See picture, as you can see the black shadow is messed up as I fill it due to having used a smooth ink tool to draw the lines. Fuzzy select + grow kind of helps but then you lose the benefit of the smooth edges.

Hi guys,

I am working on the following image that is attached.

If you see, Predator is behind Arnie, but I am not happy with how Predator looks. I think the colours are matched because Predator is quite hard to pick out - its like he's camouflaged in the image. I have tried experimenting with lighting and shadows, but I am a complete novice at this.

My question is: how can I improve Predator in the image?

Hello everybody and happy new year

I am asking here: Cyan is integrated with Gimp.
I need to convert RGB to CMYK for printing.
I wanted to use Cyan or Krita, they seem equivalent.
I found something very odd to me, so after a lot of tests, imho the issue is that  
whatever the optional settings, with the exact same conversion to CMYK, tif and jpg :
a difference of about 95% exists between the jpg and tiff versions 
(using a very consistent application)

The two CMYK versions, tif or jpg, are not even similar obviously. Even visually.

Many other tests suggest that this cannot be caused just by jpg loss of quality.
I would use the tif format, but this strange total difference seems worrying to me.

No idea if somebody way more knowledgeable, can suggest something.
I emailed the developer of Littlecms, but I don't know if they will clarify.
Maybe somebody can just confirm that the tiff version should be correct enough?
Btw, the only format producing an output equivalent to tif, is Photoshop, psd format. 
Also, the result is the same with Krita or Cyan. I think they use Littlecms. 

Thanks for any help or suggestion and best
enri

I've been writing a python plugin for gimp, using RC2 installed with flatpak.  It's been a steep learning curve but i have it working.
I now want to take some of that code and put it in a standalone python app, since it doesn't actually need the gimp interface

My idea was to simply use the system python and import the necessary gi repository files - but they are already installed inside the flatpak

Is there a way to use the python version installed with gimp and flatpak from outside the flatpak sandbox?
Or should I copy the gi repository files into the system python directories, and if so where?

Many thanks

mijn laptop draait op MS Windows 11. hier heb ik GIMP 3 RC2 geïnstaleerd.
vorige versie was GIMP 2.10. daar had ik g'mic geïnstaleerd.
nu heb ik de nieuwe versie van G'mic (3.5.0) maar wanneer ik deze uitvoer komt deze niet zoals vorige versie te voorschijn onder filters in GIMP 3 RC2.

Hoe is dit probleem ontstaan?

So you can determine which assembly vote changed what.

(yes, some changes appear to be 200 years in the future, due to a typo, fix is in progress)

Hi All,

Is there an old photo restore plugin for Gimp 3.0?

I asked this guy for it:
     https://github.com/stongey/PhotoRestore/issues/2

But  I am not sure he has written it yet or ever will.

I have notice recently that these can be opened on Gimp. I have only tried it with 3RC1 so do not know if this was always a thing.
I assume once this file is worked on it will change into a bitmap/rastor image? Please set me straight.
