Some plugins available in previous Gimp versions are considered "deprecated" and can no longer be reached via the menus (the simple sharpen for instance), very often because there are better alternatives.

But you may have grown accustomed to the old ways...

In many (most?)  cases, these plug-ins have been kept (because they could be called by scripts).

For occasional uses you can get find the plug-in by entering "/" in the image window. This will open a search window, in which you start typing the name of the filter you are looking for: s-h-a-r... until the name of the searched plug-in appears. You then double-click the plug-in to start it. 

But if you are an aficionado and use it often, you would like to access it more quickly. There are two ways:

1) You can still add a shorcut for it using Edit>Keyboard shortcut.

2) You can even put it back in the menus:

Find your Gimp profile, and edit the pluginrc file with a decent text editor (that means not Windows Notepad ):

• locate the menu label of the plug-in: Sharpen...
  
• replace the 0 in the next line by 1
  
• under that line insert the menu/submenu where the menu label should be added: (menu-path "<Image>/Filters/Enhance")
  

I run on iMac 2017 with 10.15.2

Today I downloaded Gimp 2.10 but I dont find the Patternfolder and Scriptfolder  inside my library. What happen.

Bevel reflect logo werkt niet meer bij mij in Gimp 2.10.14 ... wie helpt mij?

Have windows 10, 64 bit, Gimp org's Gimp version 2.10.14.  Have never had problems with G'MIC previously but suddenly last week it would not load.  I have not added anything new to cause problems.  I deleted the current version as it was not the latest.  I installed the 1.80, would not load.  Tried both the installer and the zip files. Neither would load.  Gmic is present under Filters and shows on the plug-in browser.  On the taskbar, I have the Gmic frame showing but it is blank.  Nothing loads to the work screen.  Made sure I was using the 2.10 versions for windows.

Any suggestions as to what I should try?  Have reloaded several times with the same versions and even tried some older ones but nothing happens.  It obviously is present,  but not loading.  Looks like all the files are there.

I have an image I want to bring into another project, the image includes a bright lime-green color, hex code 05cb00 and a bright yellow hex code f3ff4d.  However, when I drag the image, copy-paste, or otherwise attempt to bring the image into my project, the green becomes a muddy brown hex code 534931 and the yellow becomes a drab light-brown hex code bca471.  It's to the point that I cannot even draw over the brown with the pencil tool because it, too, becomes the muddy brown.  I'm sure it's some setting that I simply don't know about but it's driving me up a wall.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone

I have found a method (I call it "Zoobka", for ZOOm Blur - KAleidoscope) to easily create abstract artworks with cool effects like "neon", "plasma", "smoke"... It does not require any drawing or painting skills.

Note: all the artworks presented here are at the 16:9 format, they are best viewed at full size and can be used as DESKTOP WALLPAPERS. Some look great on my 1366x768 laptop screen. Some others, maybe not so great but they are all there to show interesting effects.

   

      

   

   

       

   

   

Neon effects:

   

Superbird

   

   

   

Reminds me of stained glass also.

Speaking of stained glass:

   

Mystical Star

   

   

Uses the G'Mic filter "Distort lens", which is not part of the core technique.

This is my first post, and I wanted to say that even though I played with GIMP a number of years ago, I never understand it well enough to use it. Now that I've loaded version 10, I'm blown away. There is no doubt that GIMP will do almost everything I could possibly need. I've already learned about alpha channels, which are something that have always confused me. In other words, I'm excited!

Searched far and wide but as usual the info available for gimp is scattered beyond reproach.


I need to know how to make a torus in gimp, with grid.

I can do half a torus by just duplicating circles around:

But when closing the loop, there is always a hole where the outside skin with grid should be:

So instead of having the squared grid all around, you can still see the inside of the torus.

Help please. Trying to find out by myself just means wasting days of time I really need.

Hi all, 

I would like to recreate an old jacket. After all those years they do not sell the fabric anymore. That's why I took a picture so I can get the fabric custom print the fabric. The original fabric was corduroy, so the texture of the fabric has these vertical lines. The images (vintage cars) on the fabric therefore also have vertical lines resulting in subtle color differences between the lines. 

I'm afraid that when I print it on corduroy again the vertical lines and color differences will be intensified, which will make it look weird. 

I've been trying to remove the lines and color differences using Gimp. So far I tried the default blur filters, the smudge tool and the resynthesizer health plugin, but without any good results. Does anyone here maybe have a tip or advice on how I can better remove the lines and make the cars have a solid even color?

Any help is appreciated!

Does anyone know how to obtain this brush strokes effect?
