I have a .png file, of a white t-shirt, with background removed. I have opened another image into Gimp, a jpg, and want to put this as a new layer on the t-shirt. The problem is, when I do, the new layer is greyscale. I've done it before, and it's been ok, I just don't know what's happening, or how to resolve it. The original jpg is in colour, it's only when I paste it into the t-shirt png, that it goes wrong. I've noticed that the forground colour on the t-shirt, has a pink triangle in the top left corner?

When trying to select the font:

Hi, I have an XCF that looks right while viewing, and comes out okay as a JPG, but when I export PDF, some layers look very wrong.  I have a drop shadow and two "soft light" mode layers, and one or all of them are coming out as an ugly flat brown color instead of the shadow/texture I see while editing.

This is on 2.1.  I was using an older version to author the file, but PDF export started *crashing* there, so I upgraded to 2.1 today.  That exports, but has this bad artifact.

XCF is here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlV7bW7zx2N8ps8QXG-4...Q?e=RVFQtA
The problem is the "bird" image inside the necklace.  It comes out flat brown.
The incorrect PDF is here: https://1drv.ms/b/s!AlV7bW7zx2N8ps8cP2eD...A?e=3hFGqV

And I export with "Apply layer masks before saving" plus "convert bitmaps to vector graphics" plus "omit hidden layers" checked.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

I've created a new layer filled  with Transparency. Made it active by clicking on it.
Go to the Rectangle Select tool. Draw a rectangle on the canvas.
As soon as I click on any other tool in the Toolbox the rectangle I drew disappears off the canvas.
I've created the rectangle with all of the Modes. Same results.

What didn't I do?

I bundled my three plugins Lissajous, Rhodonea, and Spiropath in one .py file (slightly updating them at the same time). The file is found in the same place

http://kmarkku.arkku.net/

when you follow the link "Applications". Better delete the old ones (they are copies of the new ones and will not be updated). In Gimp's menu the path is now a little different:

Image/Render/Parametric curves/Special curves.

If you have any problems with the plugins, please tell me. Or any questions, or suggestions. It is great fun to create such beautiful curves but I have run out of ideas. The plugin Parametric curves is a general tool but requires some mathematics and some programming, so if there is any need for some special curve, I'd be happy to try to make a specialized plugin. Just ask.

Hi all, I am pretty new to GIMP however wanted to make panorama with pandora. I put that script to both folders and wanted to refresh by Script-Fu as manual says. But there is some error in gimp or all the scripts (idk) as you can see on the screenshot. Could anyone help me please fix that?

I just now installed the English language manual for GIMP 2.10.  After I downloaded and installed the manual, I restarted my desktop PC (Windows 10).

However, the pages of the manual display as blank pages when I open it inside GIMP.  Attached is a screenshot to show what I am talking about.

What do I need to do, to fix this?  Thank you for any help.

Hello, a first time post.

I have downloaded the GIMP 2.10.18 for Windows on my PC and I'm getting what you see in Pic 1.

When I went to get advice in video form with Youtube everyone had the layout as in Pic 2.

Pardon my ignorance but what do I need to do to get it to that format ?

I realise it's probably I'm doing something completely wrong but any helpful advice you can give would be appreciated.

Can someone please tell me how to convert a plain text to Golden or Silver letters ? Will it work on non-Latin characters as well ?

Simple question, is there a way to make is to the angle and roundness of a brush in gimp can change at random like you can do with it's location?

(Also, quickly, where the heck did all the brush types go? Apparently there are supposed to be hundreds built in but I see like- 20.)
