Just curious if there were any plugins out there that offered bit depths in the ranges of 2-7 bits per pixel? I'm looking to export an 8bpp indexed bitmap to lower levels. Obviously this isn't used nowadays, but it's for an old game project.

Thanks in advance.

Quick question:
Is there a way to put selected (linked) layers into a new group, or move them into an existing one?
I seem to remember some plug-in like that working in 2.8 and getting disabled in 2.10...
If there isn't anything avaible, I dare say it wouldn't above my beginner level to provide one--but I shy from re-inventing the wheel...

You know... The one where you have to manually go through all the folders just to get to the one you want? Instead of just copy/pasting the file path as I can with Windows Explorer?

Just why?

I have a DELL pc and my O/S is Windows 10 Pro / Ver 1903
.
I am using PAINT 3D to try and move just the text in a photo.  When I create a text box around the text and drag it, it moves the text and the background as well which leaves a white box where it used to be... I haven't been able to find a way around this... Any tips / advice would be appreciated...I received a suggestion that perhaps I should use GIMP.  I have no knowledge of this app and I guess my major Q is:  will it allow me to open an existing photo and edit / add / delete text?  If this cannot be done then I really have no immediate use of this app..
As far as I can determine the version  I'll be downloading is 2.10.18.
     thanks

When I recently updated to 2.10.18-4, Heal Selection stopped working. I'm sure quite a few other plugins were broken as well, but I stopped and rolled back to 2.10.18-2 as I was in the middle of a project.

Today I was trying to see if anyone else had problems after this recent update and couldn't find anything. After installing it again, I realized I had missed a message during installation.

How does GIMP treat the files that are in 16bit or 32bit mode when saving them directly to JPG?

Since JPG is 8bit only, does GIMP automatically convert to 8bit or do I have to do it myself?

Hi. Having a rough time understanding have to manipulate individual pixel's trough gimp python.
So far i have found this constructor drawable.get_pixel_rgn(x, y, w, h, [dirty, [shadow]) an been able to set a variable to it and call member from sayd variable but that about it.
Found a Gnome site with descriptive information.
Did try to install numpy into gimp with no luck. But don't think i need that module for now.
What my end goal comprise of is to be able to edit individual pixel RGB values along side it's alpha/opacity.
A little information on have to set rgb if that is with a 3-tuple or an hue int, with how/were opacity is set would be nice also

I have one remark on the 'export tiles' script. If I export a few tiles then everything seems to be right. The script saves the different photos in the chosen folder and when I look at the photos with a viewer, then I see the separate photos I worked on. When I look with the windows explorer at the directory with the photos I worked on, the preview set on 'big pictorgrams', then the pictogram shows all the photos I worked on in a session. A bug ? 

      
On the left one of the four photos I worked on, on the right the preview icon. When I click on the right icon, I see one photo I worked on (and that is ok)

I've been trying to take an image and make it transparent for use on a webpage I'm making for a practice project.

I've found this icon, which looks ideal:

I've managed to add an alpha layer and remove the background so that I have a transparent layer on my website. The problem comes when I try to make the icon itself transparent. I've tried:

 - Using the layer tool to make the whole layer 50% opaque
 - Using the fill, eraser, colors>map>color exchange, etc features to make the icon transparent. They all make it look transparent on my GIMP software, but when I put them on my website it stops working.

Can anyone please help me out and save my sanity?

I've been hitting this error message lately when running the gimp-console in batch mode and not sure what to do about it:
