Hi,
I am working on creating a PowerPoint template and I have to use our corporate logos. I am not a graphics person and am befuddled. I looked up the procedure for making a background transparent but it seems like it was already done. But, when I change the background color of the template, the background covered by the graphics remain white.
Am I missing something?
Thank you in advance for any assistance...

Bug fix Gimp 2.10.14 |

Gimp Devs say:
Quote:We recently released an updated installer for Windows that ships with a fix for crashing on large files. No GIMP code changed, the fix was in the GEGL library, hence not bumping the version number.
There is indeed a new installer (dated 7 - Dec - 2019) gimp-2.10.14-setup-1.exe
If you already use Gimp 2.10.14 and think this might affect you then update Gimp.

It seems that gimp-image-pick-color returns only a 3-tuple even for an RGBA image
Is there a way to provoke it to report all four components?
(or average all four in a radius)
Googling, I find that the GUI color picker will display all the values if you hold SHIFT...
But I need to know if a pixel is transparent from within a script.

Can anybody help me locate the Gimp plugin to enable opening Apple .HEIC files?
I am running Linux Mint 19.2 and I have installed Gimp 2.10.14
Articles imply this functionality is [ironically?] native in recent versions of the Gimp on Windows 10 but seems to require extra resources / instals for Linux users.
Many Thanks in anticipation

Hi there folks,
I am terrible with computers and its driving me off the wall. I just downloaded GIMP 2.10.14 mostly just to re-size my drawings that i get printed to sell them. This is my first time using GIMP or any proper photo software for that matter.
My artwork is all scanned at 600dpi and they are mostly A4 images. I need to change their sizes to A5, A6 and A3. So i go into Image>Scale, look up measurements of A3 in inches and change them. It always says my image would be more than 650MB, why is that? Maybe I need to lower the dpi? But i dont want to lower it too much incase i lose the quality of the print. Because selling my art-work, its quite important for me to have a crisp print of my work. Also another thing i notice is when i look into dimensions of my scanned A4 image, it shows at 51.344 inches height and 71.042 inches width. That cant be right?
One of the ways, I think i have got around it after speaking to someone is to open a new document, set its measurements to A3 or the size i want and then upload the image into it.
Now I thought i might look into a way if i can change the image size of a batch which would save me going through every image. I downloaded Batch Image Manipulation Plugin, but it doesnt seem to allow me to change dimensions in inchs, mm, cm etc. It only seem to show me the option of resizing in %.
Is there a way to change resize load of images to A3, A4, A5 measurements in a batch?
Thanks a million

Hi,
Could anyone indicate software that converts offline text (txt, pdf, etc) to OCR, free to Windows?
I found options for online or mobile platform use.
Any compatible with Gimp?
Thank you.

Select tools and layers |

I open the picture and Add An Alpha Layer.
Then I outlined the image using the foreground selection tool. When I Add Layer Mask etc., everything disappears, not just the background. The model AND the background. All I get is a checkerboard displayed.
This happens regardless of which selection tool I'm using. I'm obviously doing something/not doing something to cause that. I've followed a couple of online descriptions of how to do this and just can't make only the background disappear.
How do I keep the model visible and have the background disappear?
Using Gimp 2.10.14
