In the attachment, 2 Gimp plugins to do similar things: 
beginning from a multi-layered xcf file, with o without an active selection, copy visible and export the result as:
1. webp -- workaround for a (reported) bug in GIMP 10
2. indexed png
Plugin 1 works without trouble, and so 2 for 8 bit perceptual.
Now, other precisions cannot be converted to indexed directly, so I am trying workarounds--and always find myself against

I have Gimp 2.10 on a new machine running Linux mint,

Im trying to open a .svg file but Gimp is not recognising the svg image size and defaulting to 500x500. I have used these files many times in the past and know they work.

In the past on my old machine (unbuntu 16.04) it recognised the image size and im able to set a width or height and the other variable changes automatically.

Anybody have any ideas?

Many Thanks

Hi,

I am using the bucket tool but instead of filling with the chosen color it fills with a lighter tone. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks,

Hello
when I open the colour menu I always change over to HSV
Much prefer if it open up on the HSV instead of the LCh selector,

Is there any way to set HSV as the default instead of LCh

Using Linux if that's needed info.

Thanks in advance.

Good afternoon guys,

So as the title of this post reads I want to know the simplest and quickest way to make this type of design in either gimp of Inkscape.

Keep in mind I need to make some areas transparent so that the natural color of the t-shirt can come thru as seen in the design.
(The clover I am not concerned with obviously)


This will be designed for a t-shirt.

Thanks!

Hello,
Does anybody know where GIMP stores this palette history?
Everytime I use GIMP new colours are added and never emptied.
Useless for me, so how can I delete it or at least empty it every now and then?

Cheers

Im currently doing some work on a 3D model, for some texture work on the wooden puppet i wanted to create a texture that makes its face paint look like it was physically painted by someone using a paint brush, including the streaks and build up of paints that can occur.

IE like these

I have looked into brushes but the issues with those seems to be that the brushes are just a PNG of a brush stroke of my images above, and not something i can dynamically paint with to fit a shape.


So im wondering if there is anyway to recreate, or create a more dynamic brush that can create this type of effect when i paint with it?

Cannot Connect Canon LIDE 400 to GIMP

]I want to be able to directly scan to GIMP.

All seems in order, but I cannot get it going.

Thanks for your guidance.

This file is a TWAIN-compliant scanner driver for Canon color image scanner.
#Installed with the scanner set up

#scanner is working fine.

   
I worked it on these lines:
1. start from 2 layers (background and text) and two separated paths for big/small text (borrowed from another proyect)
2. new transparent layer below the text layer -> fill with black the big text path -> Filters -> Light and Shadow -> Long Shadow, Style = Finite, Angle = 90, Color = Black, and play with Length until it looks right
3. repeat for the small text, but in Filters, instead to 'Repeat Long Shadow', 'Re-show Long Shadow', go to Presets and click on the arrow on right: the first item stores your setting for pass 1; select it and decrease Length to about half:
result is the picture above.
4. Zooming on it, one sees that the fine lines have left gaps in the black: simply duplicating the layer in 3 mends it some
   
5. A simple example of Long Shadow, Style = Fading
   
with the shadow layer in mode 'linear burn' and the Long Shadow made from a layer with both texts at once: the fading masks the queer effect one sees here
   
which shows also some queernes due to very fine vertical stroke in "5th"
6. Instead, one can change also the angle for each text shadow
   
and color it with a gradient, after having toggled 'Lock alpha channel'.
Here, an added layer on top from 'copy visible', in mode 'soft light', not only improves the colors, but mends the previous point.
7. Of course, instead of working with text from paths, one can begin from an actual text layer, or any other shape on a transparent background, but although there is an option to add the shadow to the layer, in my opinion, it works poorly for text: the edge between text and shadow loses sharpness, so it 's better to make a copy, put it below the original, and apply Long Shadow with the option Composition: Only Shadow, in whatever color.
 If useful, enjoy!

Hi everyone. Very much a newbie here. I've been watching tutorials and reading all morning and for some reason cannot get the clone tool to work.  I reposition a piece of my picture then try and fill in the spot left.  I feel like I am following all of the correct steps as far as holding ctrl and clicking on the spot I want to use but then nothing happens.  Can someone please enlighten me? Thank You!
