Hi folks

Wondering if anyone could help me recover a saved filter preset.

I recently updated from GIMP 2.10.22 to 3.0.2 on Windows 10. Since then, I've discovered that one particular preset I had made for a distortion filter (Waves) no longer appears from the drop down list. An earlier preset I saved is there, but it is not the one I need. 

I have not been able to exactly recreate the settings of the missing preset and require it to replicate some effects and ensure continuity across different files.

Any ideas/suggestions for recovering the missing preset would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot

A partial rewrite and conversion of the ofn-addon-manager for Gimp v3

Some changes:

• No longer supports scripts (who has so many scripts anyway)
  
• INI file syntax is a bit different to take advantage of Python3 capabilities
  
• Always activates collections as directories
  
• Not longer explicitly maintains a list of activated collections or resources. A folder in the active Gimp folder that has the same name as one in the storage folder is considered to be the activated  instance.
  

Hi here, 

I use Gimp 3.0 in Windows on a Lenovo Thinkpad W520 laptop since two days. 
I previously used older Gimp-versions as a novice. 

Tiny problem (perhaps a simple question): 
I don't like the way my Tool Options dialog looks. See the attachment. 
I don't like the 'hand' shaped cursor (too big and dark) and the black popup. 

I cannot find what to change in Edit>Prefecences>...
My Interface>Theme is System. 
My Interface>Icon Theme is Legacy. 

Thanks in advance for advice. 

Regards, Frans van Zelm

I need to remove an object from the image so I start with a selection at the base layer,, which I will move to cover the distracting element.
I selected the area, command C/command V on mac, which brings the good area to the next layer, which I will use to cover the unwanted.
Now I need to remove my selection.
Problem is, command C, command V, created 2 selections, a white one, and a yellow one.
After command/shift/A, one selection, the white one, remains.
I am trying to upload the screenshot, now reduced to 500 X 300, but it keeps telling me that the file is too large.
If anyone can help on uploading screenshots, I will post to explain. Thank you

I paste an image (of text) using 'Create From Clipboard' then use a (rounded) rectangle to cutout and copy just the area I'm interested in. Then 'Create From Clipboard' a new image from the rectangle cutout.

I always make the rectangle left side 423 and the width is always 1050. The top and height will vary.

I do this several times a day and it would be nice in the first step if I could click something and have a pre-sized rectangle appear on top of the just pasted image. Then all I would have to do is adjust the top and bottom with my mouse and not have to type the left and width.

Thank you. I'm very new to this and find Gimp much superior to Adobe products.

       
"Since the new update, I’ve been having major issues on macOS. When I move the mouse pointer to the drag handle in the top bar, GIMP keeps activating the tools located three rows below it (in this case, the eraser).
I also can’t close images because the mouse pointer won’t reach the buttons. This problem occurs across the entire interface.
If I switch to multi-window mode, it works, but the toolbox panel extends beyond my screen and can’t be resized.
In single-window mode, the entire GIMP window exceeds my screen bounds. I can’t resize it, and I can’t access the tools at the very bottom."

In my Gimp for PC, version 2.10.38 (revision 1), in the upper left corner under the command row ‘File Edit View…’ when I hover over it, the prompt ‘Drop images files here to open them’ appears, and under the command bar, thumbnails of the open images or newly created files appear. This feature is very useful to me, however, on my laptop, the same version of Gimp doesn’t have it, and I would like to know if there is some way to activate it that I haven’t found.

Thanks for your help

Two layers open, wishing to transform one independent of the other layer but any action transforms both. They are locked together. The padlock is closed and I cannot get it to open. Tried everything I know to do to no avail. Saved images in all ways. Tried the little tool options next to layers still nothing. Main lock remains closed, Done an update, been in preferences and restored to default values, still no joy anyone suggest any thing else please

I am a newbie, using GIMP 2.10.38

In this ice hockey photo, there is some haze in the middle mainly due to shooting through scratched glass. I wonder how should I fix it? I use dehaze ...
I may want to try some masking before dehazing?

Your advice is appreciated

After installing and running GIMP 3, at the second launch , the gimp windows is oversized... It's impossible to reach the upper part so as to resize it ...

Is there any known work-around procedure ?

solution (after touring in the preference menu) (sorry, i guessed the English names of the options from the french ones)
edit>prefrences>window management >
uncheck both boxes under "windows location"  then reset positions to defaut values

et voilà !

cheers up !
