Over the last few weeks I've sporadically had wiggy results when I inversed a selection. Now this seems to be constant. I have an old photo loaded and want to delete the border. I do not want to crop the picture, just delete the border. I drew a path around the image, converted the path to a selection, then used Ctrl+I to inverse it. After several seconds, the entire image, border and all, was filled with dense diagonal moving pixel lines.

I've attached a screenshot of a small section of the inversion on a white background at 100%.

Here are things I unsuccesfully tried in prepartion for posting this matter:

1. Added a new transparent layer and selected that layer.
   
2. Added a new white layer.
   
3. Made image layers invisible.
   
4. Changed from the Path tool to the Move tool.
   
5. Tried Selection > Inverse instead of the keyboard shortcut.

How?


How do you guys fill in the outlines? When I stroke my paths/selections I can't select the inside area, it'll only select the drawn lines. How do you guys color in the area? Do you just color the area then erase from the outline? or select the outline and delete that space on the colored area layer?

Using 'buntu 18.04 (or Mint19) with Gimp 2.10.x and not able to run the latest and greatest gmic_gimp_qt plugin from http://www.gmic.eu ?

Also for the Gimp 2.10.x appimage which uses the same version of QT5 as ubuntu 18.04 / Mint 19

The reason is the version of QT5 that comes with 'buntu 18.04 is 2.9.5 and the 'official' gmic.eu plugin requires 2.10

Run gimp from a terminal and 

Quote:.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/gmic_gimp_qt: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.10' not found (required by /home/rich/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/gmic_gimp_qt)
gimp: LibGimpBase-WARNING: gimp: gimp_wire_read(): error

Now up to Gimp 2.10.14

Using Ubuntu 18.04 'Bionic' or one of the spin-offs, Mint 19 for example, and wondering where the update to Gimp 2.10.10 is? So am I

Note: This could change in 5 minutes / 5 hours / 5 days / never - who knows.
Update:Took a couple of days. As of 29 April, Gimp 2.10.10 is back in the more regular ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp 
Installation the same: as indicated.

Ubuntu is based on Debian and the base version in 'Bionic' is Gimp 2.8.22 Upgrading to Gimp 2.10 involves using a third-party PPA. This is the one normally used...

   

Edit: Fixed ...but at the moment, no version for 18.04 'Bionic'? It was there a few days ago, you might already have Gimp 2.10.8 installed.

For an upgrade add this PPA

   

In a terminal the sequence will be

Hi all - first time poster here
I am interesting in using the batch processing mode and have copied some script code from
https://bsenduran.blogspot.com/2017/09/r...mp-in.html
and it is working within the script-fu console.
So far, so good
When I try to run the same script from a command line, using syntax like this

"C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.10.exe" -b '(timbo "C:\\Folder1\\Folder2\\*.JPG" 0.5)'
(I've tried single and double backslashes in the path passed)

I have had three basic types of outcome - I had a few occasions when a second console window opened up and, in this, I got a message to say that the batch file had completed successfully

Then, I must have done something, but I don't know what - because I then went through a phase when I didn't get the 2nd console window up - I get a 'wait' cursor for a few seconds and nothing seemed to have happened - the files weren't processed

Now, I've noticed that if I pass an invalid path to GIMP in the command line parameters, I get a different outcome again, which is a 2nd console window which contains the message
"Batch commands cannot be run in existing instance in Win32"
I am running 64 bit Windows 10 Home

Can anyone explain what is going on here?

Thanks in advance
Tim

Hi guys;
I was having an issue with 2.8 & did an uninstall reinstall. From there, when I opened, my images are in a random order rather than alphabetized as before. What would cause this? Please include a fix if possible. Thanks.

I have an image.
I want to add double headed arrows.
How should I best do this?

I then need to add text.
The text should line up on the same slant as the double headed arrow.
How should I add the text? Is there someway of connecting to the line, so if the line is moved about and rotated the text gets rotated?

Thanks.

So as I'm sure everyone understands, printers don't print white. They just leave white areas transparent, since they assume that the paper is white. And all colors which contain white are only printed with a certain amount of ink, again assuming that the white paper will "correct" the color so that it prints the same way it displays in the file.

So my question is, can someone walk me through how I can turn all the "whiteness" in an image into transparency, in effect mimicking this printing behavior? I hope this question makes sense, I can clarify if need be.

Thank you!

I have an image of a TV and I want to keep the TV in the image and replace the rest of the image with a color. How would I do this?

The 10 photos are in one png file. How can I seperate the photos to stand alone?
