I don't know how I did this or why it only happens with certain images... My foreground/background color palette is stuck with a two tone color (green and pink) and I can't figure out how to reset it back to a single color for each fore/background section.

How do I reset and how the heck did I manage to do this in the first place so I can avoid it in the future, lol.

Good Day

I have this file M_D_1_0.xcf  that I have got the text 0 to be transparency, but can not get the right part also transparency.

I want to let it looks like this file Maand_Dag_1_2.xcf

How do I do this.

Hi, I am trying to stroke a path by emulating brush dynamics. However, there is a problem with stroking the path when spacing is applied. It will randomly apply 2 strokes in one place, 1 stroke in another, a merged stroked in another etc. I have checked everything under brush dynamics and I cannot find out what the problem is or what could be causing this. To help you better understand the problem I'm facing I've taken a screenshot of the issue.
As you can see, the image on the left is the problem I was describing: 2 strokes, 1 stroke and merged strokes. I have chosen a rectangular shaped brush at a 90 degree angle, with the track direction dynamic applied to go round the path evenly spaced. However, the image on the left is the end result, which to me does not make any sense, at all. Either this is a bug/glitch or I'm missing something. If I use these same settings and go round the path manually by hand, the image on the right is the result. The Image is actually supposed to be evenly spaced out like the image on the right (only a lot neater and aligned to the actual path). Is there a fix for this problem? Thanks.

Greetings, folks--
I am running Linux Mint 19.1.  I recently had to reinstall GIMP 2.10.18 and when I went to use the g'mic installer it said that a newer version of it was already installed.  I checked the preferences/folders/plug-ins and sure enough there was a file "gmic_gimp_qt-mint 19."  However there is no sign of it in my filters pull down menu.  Can anyone please help me?  Thanks.

Hi,

How do I set up GIMP 2.10.18 for Kubuntu 20.04 ? I installed KDE over Ubuntu.

Already installed GIMP from the store, but not sure it will have the same tools I had in 18.04.

GMIC is missing from the Filters menu. Not sure what else is gone.

Hi,

Is it possible to install 2.8 on Chrome Linux Laptop? I installed the latest version but because of school lessons for my son, they want the 2.8 version installed and not latest version.

Thanks

I am trying to make a text that the text must be transparent and background black, but the top of the text is cut of, why?

Hi Everyone,

First post.

I would like to know if there is a way to separate an image into multiple layers based on color (or pallet)?

I have created an image with Filter -> Render -> Clouds -> Difference Clouds

   

Then I apply the Color -> Posterize effect to make the image look like a terrain map

   

Now I would like to automatically split each color into its own layer (so this image should be about 8 or 9 layers).

Any suggestions would be most appreciated!!!

Thank you,

I'm a newbie when it comes to GIMP plugins. GIMP itself I've been using occasionally for many years, but never really got deeply into it.

I have the habit of scanning official documents I get on paper. After scanning, what I typically do is open up GIMP to some rotation, work on levels, rotating and choosing a format and compression for saving the file. In very rare cases I feel confident enough to use distortion transformations on the page, myself, but am usually unsatisfied with the result.

Recently, I've been positively impressed by the semi-automatic rectification + other fixup work you can get on your scans with gratis (but non-free) mobile phone apps like CamScanner. This got me thinking that perhaps such functionality has been made available in GIMP via plugins.

So, here's the overall list of actions I'm interested in (with the first being the most important):

• Rotate the image to make sure the text is straight up and that what seem like rectangular region borders are indeed rectangular and parallel to the edges
  (Perhaps with prompts for the user to verify which regions to rectify).
  
• Page crease artifact removal.
  
• Figure out the page boundaries
  
• Crop to the page boundaries  (or a little further than that, for uniformity with other pages in the same sequence of scans)
  
• Adjust levels, to try to get the text to be black, its surrounding gradient to the background not too jagged nor disappear, and the background be white with most noise becoming white.
  
• Stain/spot removal.
  
• Avoid the level adjustment for regions such as photos printed on the page (which might get their own level adjustments) - and don't take the histogram for these regions into account for the rest of the image
  
• Detect cases of significant local non-grayscale content; decide whether to make the whole image grayscale if these don't exist; make sure these don't become to "garrish" due to level corrections, e.g. by playing with their saturation after a global levels transformation.
  

I have an indexed colour-mode picture. I am trying to rotate lots of little pieces of it. They all need to be rotated by 180 then returned to their original locations. It is very laborious. 

The process I am using it to elliptically highlight each little image inside the circle it appears in, then rotate it on the spot.

I have many problems causing to take far longer than I'd like.

One of them is that when I rotate an image on the spot it is sometimes no longer exactly where I'd like after it's rotated, so after the 180 degree rotate I then have to Move transform.

This is fine but hard to arrange each little symbol inside it's circle when it was nearly touching the sides before, any white I have selected overwrites the background. It would be better if I could select, rotate, move and paste with transparency so if I move the symbol close to its boundary the white area I have picked up with it doesn't overwrite the black background it's in.

I tried to set the white colour to transparent. When I do this is works until I have finished one manipulation and then want to flatten the image. When I do the transparent white becomes white again and I have to start the process again.

Can I just swap white in the palette for transparent so this doesn't happen? Or can I stop Gimp turning the transparent area back to white when I flatten it? Thank you.
