Please keep in mind that I am mostly ignorant when it comes to using Gimp 2.1.  I am making a cover for the book I just finished.  The main image I'm using for the front cover needs to be made slightly transparent.  Here's what I've done:  First I clicked on the image (which is, I believe, my second layer) and then used the "Opacity" menu on the right to try and adjust the image.  What I get is a checkerboard.  Totally weird, at least from this newbie's point of view.  What is happening and how do I get this to work for me.  (BTW something I read seemed to suggest that it mattered what type of file your image was saved as.  This is a JPEG.)

I have been unable to discover a way for a script to paste from the clipboard (clipboard image created by "PrtScr" key). I can obviously use the edit>paste option to do it manually (which works), but the procedure in a script using "gimp-edit-paste-as-new-image" does not return an image. I realise that the procedure notes state

"This procedure pastes a copy of the internal GIMP edit buffer to a new image. The GIMP edit buffer will be empty unless a call was previously made to either 'gimp-edit-cut' or 'gimp-edit-copy'. This procedure returns the new image or -1 if the edit buffer was empty."

and the clipboard is not mentioned (whereas it is in pasting brushes and patterns).

I have not been able to find anything on this after many hours of searching.

My question is "Is it possible in TinyScheme/ScriptFu?"

Greetings Gimp Users,

I'm a total beginner with Gimp and am completely stumped. I combined two images by layering one over the other. I zoomed in to one layer and touched up some details with the clone tool. When I zoomed back out, the whole image (both layers) is covered in black dots. An example of what I mean by "black dots" is attached. Why did this happen? I can't figure out how to undo it so I want to avoid doing it again. Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dank

Hey I made some scripts and tools for making frame animations on Gimp I hope they are useful, please let me know if there are any issues or things you might also want.

List :
Layer group duplication
Onion skin effect
Set visible or Opacity of all layers
Create a layer group with X amount of frames (lower than 60)

Here's a video tutorial on using them : https://youtu.be/g1zaQ89nTQU

I'm trying to design my own smart watch faces, for my watch, which I've done before, by copying images, and editing them. I've found a png watch face I want to use, but on the background I'm using, it doesn't stand out very well, so I want to add a glowing effect to the image. Can this be done? I've seen tutorials, on creating text, and giving it a glow, but this image is already created.

   
I've been experimenting with coloring a line drawing. A made a quick sample shingle roof, imported it as a TIF into Gimp. The lines were pretty gray so I needed them darker. Erode didn't give me the results I wanted so, I used Select By Color and darkened the lines. I wanted to color in the tiles individually so I took a small sample, colored it all  a darker gray color with the intention of returning to make a few of the shingles a lighter value. But adding the color had the effect of "erasing" the lines defining the individual shingles so when I tried to color a single tile the lighter color the whole thing turned the lighter color.

How can I set this up to keep the line art and color individual shingles?

Hi,
I use kubuntu 20.04 and Gimp 2.10.18 packed from distro.
GIMP interface is in English, and I don't see the choice to change it another than en_US. I have system language in Catalan.
Could you help me, please?
Thank you

I copied one image to be pasted into another image. In the existing image I selected the area where the copied image should go, hit "paste into Selection" and get a blank field the size of the copied image surrounded by marching ants. But no copied imaged image. I cleared any possible remnant selections with "select none" on both images and tried again. Same result.

Any ideas?

Hello Everyone,

First post.  I'm using the GIMP 2.10.14 on macOS Sierra.  I'm not sure if it's worth the effort, but I'm trying to create a script to perform 3 or 4 menu functions on a PNG file once I've opened it.  I have a LOT of files to process, but I'd prefer not to use any sort of batch mode.  I need to see each file to make sure it doesn't need any additional work.

Below are the commands I need to script and the Script-Fu procedures I think I could use.
