Thanks in advance for assistance.

I have been using GIMP for a while now and am on Windows 10 with GIMP 2.10.20. Recently I have run into a problem of getting blank images off both of my Epson printers on many images I try (not all) .jpg and .tif The images print fine using another program. I have tried searching the web without success. I just updated to GIMP 2.10.20 from 2.10 where I first experienced the problem.
HELP!

HI

When creating a faded circle (image 3) in GIMP on Mac, when I import to another programme (Galaxy Watch Designer/Studio) the file comes in distorted (image 2 enclosed)

When I use GIMP on Windows creating exactly the same way, the image comes in correctly.

On the preview import dialog the image looks fine no matter where created.

Any ideas?

Hi,
 
I have encountered a problem with exporting .psd files.  I have just uninstalled and reinstalled GIMP because I knew that the export worked before.  Now, after the reinstall, the first export to psd worked perfectly.  When I tried the second time, it exported, but when I loaded it back in it was scaled too wide.  I noticed this when I tried to use a GIMP exported psd file in ACES Image Tool.  It would not load in.  Instead, the tool just went away.  I have ways of working around this problem but maybe it's a bug in the add-on.

Thanks in advance for any comment made about this issue.

Any time I use the Guides function in Gimp, it leaves behind a Script-Fu window, which has invariably crashed. 

I have removed Gimp completely and re-installed, but this still happens.  Is this a known bug?

In fact every time I use some sort of plugin, it leaves an open icon on my taskbar. (in the form of an exec icon)

Couple of images to show what I mean.

thanks

I have created a mockup like this. I would like to add icons as if it were printed on the page. But I do not know how to make the icons follow the page curve. When I add them it looks flat on the curved page. Help me out, please.

I have both the book and icons as SVG.

Hi. Pretty new to using Gimp, or in fact any designer software, and slowly getting used to some of the functions.

I need to be able to draw a circle which starts off full opacity and fades gradually as it goes round. So for example, at 0 degrees it’s bright red, and but the time the circle comes back in itself, it’s fully transparent...if that makes sense 

I’m sure there will be a simple way to do this, but can’t work it out.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm not sure what I clicked that caused this, but on the left side of the screen where all the settings for the tools appear aren't showing up anymore? Instead it's just showing the different layers as shown in the image. I've tried resetting to default and even reinstalling the software but it won't go back to normal. I'm completely new so any advice would be great

How to save your setting like, check grid, configure grid, etc? Because every time I open gimp I must set that again and again

FIGURED IT OUT NVM

Downloading transparent png on Google with a white transparent background:

I download the png. I open as layer. Then it shows a white transparent back that has not only white squares but light gray. When I move the image around the true transparent background shows. I have looked into countless forums and can't find a solution.

Some of the pngs I download do work. How do I know this? Because when I have my background photo and add the png over top that white transparent background doesn't show.
In fact, when I open it in GIMP I can see another darker gray and gray squared background that is the actual transparency. 

Say I want to have a mountain range background photo. Then I want to use a campire png that is only showing the logs and fire and no background, when I move that image opn top of the main background my image is showing a white background. Looking closely I can see there is indeed a white and gray squared background that is supposed to be transparent when adding it on top of another image. 

I have used the transparency > alpha selection > export as png and still doesnt work. I'm not gonna draw an outline of every single image that says it's supposed to be transparent, to get that transparent background. It's just not working.

What am I doing wrong? Are these images run threw another app that makes it lose transparency, say, Windows Paint?
The first image shows the 2 different transparent backgrounds.
The second shows a book that doesn't have a background since it's transparent but the other one does show that white background.
