Hi.

When I apply a pattern with the render option or the bucketfill it doesn't completely fill the selection without being off center


The pattern on the left was made with bucket fill while the one on the right was made with the renders option. I used grid and "use selection as input"

Thank you.

HELP!  About 4 days ago, my GIMP began displaying the characters in various part of the user interface as rectangles.  It happens in popup UI windows a few other places, like in rulers, the popup descriptions for menu items and on the main splash screen while coming up.  Menus and sub-menus are fine. My best guess is that it happens for any variable text. At this point GIMP is virtually unusable.
 
This happened when I brought up GIMP 2.10.8 after having brought it up with no problems 3-4 times a week for several months.  To my knowledge I didn't update anything relevant anywhere else.  
 
I tried cleaning up AppData\Local\fontconfig\cache.  I uninstalled GIMP 2.10.8 and installed 2.10.12.  No improvement. 
 
I am running on a 64-bit Windows 7. I'm not too sophisticated. I am a GIMP user and have been for 4 trouble-free years.  
 
Any suggestions?

I had 2.8 on my system (OSX 10.13.6). I tried and tried to find an answer to this. I just downloaded 2.10, and same thing. I deleted the app, deleted all the preferences (including in ~Library), and same thing.
Theme is dark grey. all icons are light grey. Interface text (not menu pull downs - they're okay) are a very small and not english font.

My Gimp Preferences window screenshot is included.

I'm guessing it's something simple, but nothing I've read has addressed this. Help!

   

hi, 
is there a download/plugin link for opening raw files in gimp 2.8 for windows 7, 32 bit?

i havnt yet played with a raw file and have been sent some (i model, i get pics sent me), im quite excited to play but as yet gimp doesnt see raw files...

Having successfully used Gimp to recover a couple of thousand elderly pages for
archiving - and my thanks to Ofnuts for his help on this project - I now need to
watermark them before the archive goes on line.

Have read several tutorials about watermarks using Gimp, and  made progress
towards a batch operation - except for adjusting the watermark opacity. There was
a tool for changing opacity in earlier versions of Gimp - where is it in 2.10 please,
or has the procedure changed?


Thanks,
Tuxford.

Hello,

I'm wondering how I can center something within a selection. So I've got this:



I'd like to center the text "prepare wireframes" within the yellow box. So with the fuzzy select tool, I select the yellow area inside the box. Then I switch to the "prepare wireframes" text layer. You can see the layer border in the image above (which also happens to crop the selection). Then I select the alignment tool. Then I click on center horizontally. But nothing happens.

How can I center the text inside a selection?

I'm relatively new to both GIMP and image editing, so I don't know if this is due to my own inexperience or if I'm noticing something weird in GIMP (2.10.12, Windows 10).

Is the Pixelize filter supposed to apply the average color within and to each block subsection?  And if I expand the block size to cover the entire selection, that should act as a way to average the entire selection?  And should the average found via the histogram's mean RGB values match the average after the pixelization filter is used?

Either that doesn't always seem to be the case, or I'm misunderstanding something.

I noticed the issue while using GIMP for a retexturing project for the old game Team Fortress Classic where I'm basically pixelizing the textures and adding a grid to reduce detail and streamline the look (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OekLawHEfi8, early attempt before I streamlined it further).

Take this one example image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vOT8MuE...sp=sharing

I convert its mode to RGB, then select the bottom 16 pixel row to pixelize, and whether I pixelize the entire row or just one 16x16 square, I get a different end result via pixelize than I get via the histogram's average, or via a plugin like ofn-average-fill found here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-to...s/scripts/  Before pixelizing, histogram tells me the mean RGB of the selection is 21.2/19.9/19.9, and after pixelizing the entire row as one block, the RGB is 27.5/27.8/28.2.

Please let me know if it's me misunderstanding how pixelize (or any other step in the  process) is supposed to work, or if it's a bug in the program.  Thanks.  =x

I worked with Photoshop for several years and use the "Save for web" function daily.
I start to become somewhat familair with Gimp but I have one big issue.

As far as I know, there is no (standard) function "save for web" in Gimp.
So, I do it step by step.

As an example I exported a image from Lightroom in PSD format and open it in Gimp.
It is a image without transparency.
I use Gimp 2.10

First I resize / scale the image to acceptable size like 800 px wide, like I do in Photoshop, with cubic interpolation (I use bicubic in PS)
Then I use the export function, change the extension to .png (every checkbox is empty, like interlacing, save background color).
I have selected 8bpc RGB, compression level 9 and hit Export.
The .png file that is created is almost 3 times bigger then when I use the "save for web" function in PS.

- Flatten image is not the solution, there is no transparency.
- I assume I use already maximum compression for png.
- The number of pixels width-heigt are exactly the same in PS as in Gimp.

What steps do I forget to have a file size comparable to PS?

Hi!
This is my first topic in this forum. I made this art with Gimp in version 2.10.12. Hope you like it! 

There are several features on 2.10 that are not working (recently downloaded). The main one is the clone tool has a O with a slash through it when I try to use it. Is it a bug?**************Never mind, I figured it out!!!******************
