I have some images saved, in the past I reduced the size of the images a lot to save disk space (for example, I reduced an image from 3840x2160 to 1280x720, that is, 200% reduction).

Now I need to go back to the original size, and well, that's a problem, because I kept these images for other people, and these people want the original image (they cannot suspect that the image quality has been reduced).

I know it is impossible to increase with the original quality, but what is the best algorithm to increase the size of images in Gimp to get as close to the original? To me, NoHalo looks the best, the others seem to blur the image.

There are some sites that promise to increase quality using AI for free, but what is the guarantee of privacy? I don't want private images stored or posted around. And it is very suspicious of a website doing this for free.

Not that easy to code, but the results are worth it:

   

   

I have made a business card in GIMP and i need to export it to PDF for the printers. 

First, I tired to export it with all the layers still in the image. Exporting that that resulted in all my text bunched up.. A jolly mess. 

So, I 'Merged Visible Layers' on the whole thing and exported that. 

That almost worked, but the output pdf has added white space to the right and under the image.  Around 4 pixels to the right. And a 1 pixel row across the bottom. 

How can I fix this?? 

Thanks.

This seems so simple, and it should be.  

It's not.

Once again, I have created an (irregular) selection in Gimp.  [[It is not a square, or circle, or rectangle, or anything 'easy' to work with.]]  I cut it out with the free-select scissors.  I have the 'marching ants' to confirm that I completed the selection.

Once more, I have copied the selection (both Ctrl+C, and from the Edit menu).  Once more, I have attempted to paste the selection into a new layer.  Once more I have created the Floating Selection.  Once more, I have attempted to anchor the Floating Selection into a new layer.

It simply does not work.

I've seen and read maybe a dozen tutorials on this.  I have followed to the letter the steps illustrated or described in the tutorials, over and over.  

I always wind up with one of two results:

(1) An 'empty' selection in the new layer -- the 'marching ants' outline is there, but the content inside them is not.  Or,

(2) A visible selection which cannot be operated upon, or moved, or manipulated in any way.

Is it possible for someone, anyone to provide ONE (or two) method, which will (1) successfully paste the selection onto a new layer, and (2) allow me to work on that selection in the new layer?  Something that will work at least 80% of the time?

If I sound frustrated, it is because I am.  I apologize if that comes through.  

I'm merely seeking something that works, and something that is (mainly) reliable.

I thank everyone in advance for their answers, and for their patience with me.  It is appreciated.

HI,
I am trying to apply some filters from Gmic, but I get error like these. These errors mostly occur on color filters. Most other filters work fine. Any suggestions for solving this?
I have working network and when I try to acces given url on browser, I can access the files just fine.

I am using Gmic that comes with Krita. Is there an additional step to install/use Gmic?
I am on Windows 10. I am using Krita 4.3. I even tried it with Krita 4.4 alpha, but still got error. Honestly, This error has always been there for me since I started using Krita few years ago. I always thought maybe these filter are discontinued or something.
But I saw people using them on youtube tutorials, and I couldn’t access it.
Is it something to do with my hardware? I have very old laptop. 4 gb RAM and nvidia geforce 820m 2gb.

I posted this on Krita forums and was directed here.

I've scaled images in GIMP 2.10 and imported them into an Internet Webdesign program called BandZoogle without any problems before.

I just received an image from a graphic designer that I need to scale down and the scale feature works in GIMP but does not transfer properly.  In other words, the image remains the original size once it's imported into BandZoogle.

What am I missing?

Found on GC : http://www.gimpchat.de/logo-toolbox-gimp...10-filter/
For text use, I only installed logo-toolbox.scm in the (C:\User\Name\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\scripts)
Tested with windows10, gimp 2.10.20
Have fun

Hello,

Does anyone know of a script or plugin that can take the text entered into a single text frame (in this case a large horizontal rectangle) and automatically divide the text into multiple columns (like a newspaper)?

I can of course create the multiple text frames (columns) individually and then copy portions of the text into each frame individually if need be, but it would be so much easier to make edits to the text if all of the text was contained in a single text frame.

Not the end of the world if this doesn't exist, but if it does then it would be a huge time saver.   The other option of course is to just make sure that I get all of my text right the first time, and not have to go back and edit it again after dividing and copying into the individual text frames.  

Thank You!

I've reinstalled the printer-scanner  and connected it to the wifi again.  Twice.  Driver is up-to-date.
Canon mx490
Gimp still sees the printer, but not the scanner.
It was working fine yesterday.  My wife's computer sees it.

My device manager now calls the printer-scanner "Unknown Device"
IDs it as a printer, locates it on the M490 series with a long number after it.
Says it is working properly.

Any help?

Thanks
