it's not bad?

Might use this for my signature on steam..

I wanted to add 'sea currents' to a map, as in the figure:
   
It could be done in Inkscape through 'markers', but I wanted it as a purely 'stroke path'--better for small, indexed images.
As can be seen, I succeeded trough the following steps:
- oriented paths made in Gimp
- export them to svg, and open in Inkscape
- Inkscape Extensions -> Modify Paths -> Add Nodes... -> By max. segment length = 30.0px
- import the modified paths into Gimp, and:

• * ofn-path-edits -> Disjoin strokes
  
• * ofn-path-to-shape -> Functions on segments -> Modify segments -> Start=0, End=50
  
• * manually edit 2 of the segments in the resulting paths (it should be evident which ones would need adjusting)
  
• * path-arrow-heads at ends...
  

I have gimp 2.10 on my google pixel book (Chromebook). I would like to add additional brushes, some presets and maybe filters and overlays.

I have been able to download brushes, but cannot figure out how to get the brushes from downloads into gimp.

Any guidance would be apppreciated.

I have just updated the epub "Guide to Ofnuts Paths" at the same download link.
Any comments are welcome.
Caveat: I fully intend to maintain the guide and add others on non-path topics (if only for my personal use). Unfortunately, my working fits come as (bipolar) batches, so I can easily get behindhand with the update... or do it and not put an announcement in the forum.

   

I thought I would share a picture of a sign I painted for a local cafe using Ofnut's Bend plugin. 

The actual sign.

   

I have a picture as a result of a calculation program:



There is also a legend for values:



Now, I would like to make a picture with seven colours (posterize) OR find six isocolor lines.  The six threshold colours can be extracted from the legend with equidistance.

Is something like that even possible in GIMP?  When I make posterize in GIMP it does the job but I don't like the colours that were automatically selected as threshold colours

Hi all,

I use GIMP 2.8 for a variety of things, but lately I've been using it as a virtual whiteboard for remote training sessions.

In that mode, I set up a white-background canvas that's the same size as my screen, and set the user interface to:
full screen
1:1
100% zoom
canvas centered
no menubar
no statusbar
no scrollbar
no rulers

Then I just hit tab when I want to take control of things (which is pretty rare, since mostly I'm just using a pen)

The problem I'd like to resolve is that every time I start GIMP, or open a new "page" (i.e. new image) it defaults to a point where I have to set each of those things all over again, and seemingly one at a time.

Can I simplify this configuration? Two possible approaches came to mind:

1) perhaps there's a way to configure the defaults mode in which GIMP starts, and that addresses these, or most of these, things?
2) Could I do this from a script? I know nothing about GIMP's scripting language, but I'm a programmer, so it shouldn't be beyond me to work that out with some hints and reference material.

TIA,
Toby

Looking to purchase/build a new computer.

Does GIMP benefit from a GPU? In other words, should I spend the money on a GPU card or save the money and use an integrated video "card"?

GIMP will likely be my most demanding application, I'm not a gamer or programmer, just a regular user but also use this graphics application.

Thanks,

i am trying to divide my blue backround into 4 vertical lines and i don't know how to
