It seems that gimp-image-pick-color returns only a 3-tuple even for an RGBA image
Is there a way to provoke it to report all four components?
(or average all four in a radius)

Googling, I find that the GUI color picker will display all the values if you hold SHIFT...
But I need to know if a pixel is transparent from within a script.

I just got a huion pro12 and i'm having a problem with the cursor. it isn't centred on my pen, but only on the canvas area.

Can anybody help me locate the Gimp plugin to enable opening Apple .HEIC files?
I am running Linux Mint 19.2 and I have installed Gimp 2.10.14
Articles imply this functionality is [ironically?] native in recent versions of the Gimp on Windows 10 but seems to require extra resources / instals for Linux users.
Many Thanks in anticipation

Hi there folks,

I am terrible with computers and its driving me off the wall. I just downloaded GIMP 2.10.14 mostly just to re-size my drawings that i get printed to sell them. This is my first time using GIMP or any proper photo software for that matter.

My artwork is all scanned at 600dpi and they are mostly A4 images. I need to change their sizes to A5, A6 and A3. So i go into Image>Scale, look up measurements of A3 in inches and change them. It always says my image would be more than 650MB, why is that? Maybe I need to lower the dpi? But i dont want to lower it too much incase i lose the quality of the print. Because selling my art-work, its quite important for me to have a crisp print of my work. Also another thing i notice is when i look into dimensions of my scanned A4 image, it shows at 51.344 inches height and 71.042 inches width. That cant be right?

One of the ways, I think i have got around it after speaking to someone is to open a new document, set its measurements to A3 or the size i want and then upload the image into it. 

Now I thought i might look into a way if i can change the image size of a batch which would save me going through every image. I downloaded Batch Image Manipulation Plugin, but it doesnt seem to allow me to change dimensions in inchs, mm, cm etc. It only seem to show me the option of resizing in %. 

Is there a way to change resize load of images to A3, A4, A5 measurements in a batch?

Thanks a million

Hi,

Could anyone indicate software that converts offline text (txt, pdf, etc) to OCR, free to Windows?

I found options for online or mobile platform use.

Any compatible with Gimp?

Thank you.

I open the picture and Add An Alpha Layer.

Then I outlined the image using the foreground selection tool. When I Add Layer Mask etc., everything disappears, not just the background. The model AND the background. All I get is a checkerboard displayed.

This happens regardless of which selection tool I'm using. I'm obviously doing something/not doing something to cause that. I've followed a couple of online descriptions of how to do this and just can't make only the background disappear.

How do I keep the model visible and have the background disappear?

Using Gimp 2.10.14

Odd, my post didn't post? 

Anyway, trying to create my own Superhero emblems for my Daz characters, got limited success using iRay decals and the LIE editor...I'm looking to do something like this:

He uses Photoshop, I use Gimp...and he kinda glosses over the multiple layers he uses for the Superman emblem, how would I do this in Gimp (keeping in mind I'm a noob who doesn't know what he's doing)?

Many thanks!

Hi there,

Please recommend a script for exporting/importing paths.
I need to insert the same path in hundreds of different images before their editing.

Macbook Pro
macOS Catalina
GIMP 2.10.14

hi all, im so far only experienced with the basics of gfx editing in general

im trying to make the attached example image you see more readable, i was just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what effects they would apply in order to make that more readable  ---  so for example, is there a way to reduce empty space between the dots of the letters? (would that be the right approach to the problem?)   or, instead should the goal be to make the letters darker?  or thicker?

(im new to gimp so if you have some recommended effects to try for this issue please let me know)

thanks for any tips
