I did this years ago, but I've forgot now

cutting the face of one person and merging it onto another one.


I remember that there was a plugin or something to handle the edge

Would anyone tell me??

Not sure how to word this right because google hasn't helped me at all. Basically, I have a peanut shape and I am trying to alter the word inside the peanut to fit, stretch it on the ends to be rounded and squashed in the middle. not sure if there is a way to do this but if so please help?

I made a new layer to trace part of the image with the path tool and fill it in with color to solve the blur on a simple cartoon eye as the wonderful akovia showed me in a message. Then I copy pasted (for the 2nd eye) I realized the boundary was as big as the image itself, meaning the dash-lined square around the item, is all the way out so it's harder to move around and resize. How do I bring it in to fit the item?

I'm trying to copy paste something but it becomes a faded version for some reason. The image has an alpha channel underneath, and I paste to a new layer after I copy it. I've tried with fuzzy select and the rectangle tool and the result happened both times. Why is this??

I pasted this mouth onto the cloud and resized it to fit but it's blurrier than the rest of it. All the videos I've seen on sharpening something seem so complicated like messing around with the color shades and I don't know why there are so many steps for something straight forward...is there any simple method of doing it?

I tried to attach the .xcf file for reference but it says "Request Entity Too Large"

Nevermind, I was able to find this article explaining it in steps that seem appropriately basic..will fiddle around with the radius/amount/threshold settings to figure out what'll look best https://effectphoto.blogspot.com/2015/05...-gimp.html

I cut out most of an image, reduced the canvas accordingly, and now the dotted line (boundary I believe this is) around the original canvas size remains unchanged I'm not sure why the boundary didn't adjust naturally, how do I make it become smaller to fit the layer exactly?

need help python plug-in
I am trying to help someone on my forum to automate some steps
and one of the steps is colortoalpha
so I used
pdb.plug_in_colortoalpha(image,active_layer,color) but it isn't producing the same result as doing it from front end.

but if you do it through the front end there are two other settings one of which is the transparency threshold.

How do I perform the same settings as the front end specifying those 2 extra settings in addition to color?

Thanks in advance.

How do I set a default directory for saving work to? I looked in Edit > Preferences and I could not find anything about storage or default work directory.

I'm using GIMP 2.10 on Slackware 14.2-current 64bit. I tried to post this to the 2.10 forum, but for some reason, I don't have the button to start a new thread on that forum. So, I'm asking here.

When I start GIMP, the window fits on my screen and I can see all the tools. It's been working fine for weeks/month. Just today, when I open any of the projects I was working on, the window expands vertically to the point where I can't see the bottom of the tool options or the zoom tool. I know I can access the zoom through the View menu, but I prefer to just change from the tool at the bottom of the window. I haven't tried with each project I've been working, I'm up to 8 or 9 already, but the first 3 that I tried have had this problem.

I've quit and restarted the app several times now.

I went into the View menu and tried the Shrink Wrap and Fullscreen options to see if I could manipulate the window size, but after clicking on those, the window changes and if I click again to undo the change to the window, the window goes back to the bottom bleeding off of my screen.

I went to the desktop toolbar/taskbar and right-clicked on the window there to see if I could resize that way. I can only change the horizontal size, not the vertical size. If I used the full-screen/expand arrow in the upper right of the window, the top border of the window disappears and I can't get back to the arrow to turn off full-screen. And the bottom still doesn't show up, it's bleeding off of my screen like in all of the other sizes/positions.

The dimensions of the projects I'm working on are 2550 pixels wide x 3550 pixels tall. I had the zoom at 18% to view the whole thing and also at 100% to work on some details. 

Even when I open images and layers that I haven't edited yet, the window immediately shift to the unwieldy size.

How do I get the window to stay the same size after I open a project as it was when I first open the window?

Is there an error in the filters / Alpha to Logo / Neon script ? After using the script on a text, part of the text on the center wiped out. Any suggestions ? Thanks in advance.
