I'd like to get an emoji font for my Gimp 2.8 on Linux Mint 19.1. So I downloaded https://github.com/MorbZ/OpenSansEmoji and copied to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ . when I try to find the font in the dropdown list, gimp gives this error:

Hello,

Novice user here looking for guidance from more experienced users!

I've got a problem whereby text always seems to be offset, and I don't know how to stop this happening! See the attached image for a bit more guidance on my issue.

   

Any help is really appreciated!

Cheers,

I recently joined the GIMP community, after years of Paint.net.

Somehow the EXIF of my photos is not preserved either when importing my JPG or exporting them
(Preference> Import/Export > checked the preserve EXIF)

I know there was a problem for Pentax users, but I use Sony and have the same problem.

Any help will be appreciated.

I am running GIMP 9.5 color corrected on Mac OS 10.11.6.

The G'MIC-Qt filters are of great interest to me. But when I open G'MIC and select an effect, then choose either Apply or OK, the plug-in processes endlessly. Yesterday the fractal effect 'worked' for over 30 minutes on a 24 mb photo file. I then cancelled the command because it obviously was not going to resolve itself.

Is there something I need to know to get the filters to work?

Many thanks for your consideration.

Hi, 

I have scanned some hand drawn black and white pictures and saved them as PDF files. I am colouring them in using GIMP with a view to have them printed as greeting cards. 

When bucket filling in areas there is an outline of 3 to 4 pixels that haven't been filled. They are a mixture of grey tones. I'm assuming this because the drawing was done using an ink pen and has then been scanned. 

I'm having to use the pencil tool in GIMP to fill in the outline around each coloured area...it's incredibly time consuming. Is there any way to select pixels that are all of the same colour then change them to white? Or can anyone think of a solution?

Thank you

Hello Everyone,

I have been running GIMP 2.8.22 under WXP SP3 for some time.

Unfortunately I accidentally "undocked" the Tool Options dialog from the Toolbox and can not re-dock it again.

I tried to drag and drop the Tool Options dialog onto the area on the tool box as was indicated, to no avail.
Configuring the Tool Options tab did not make any difference either, it showed the "Lock tab to Dock" setting check-marked .
Resetting the Tool Options in the preferences to the default values did not work either.
I also tried to reinstall the whole app, it still remembered the un-docked state of the Tool Options dialog.

Just wondering, what gives?

I also have some minor problem of the app focusing on the right window, but I can work around that.
I am wondering if that is somehow behind it.

Is there a key-word in some set-up file that I could change, or editing something in the registry would help?
Any help would be appreciated!


Thanks, Peter

Hello!
I know that I can start GIMP by right clicking an image file in a file manager, and select "open with GIMP". However, if I select several files and try to open GIMP out of that selection, it will launch a new instance for each image. I want to start ONE instance of GIMP, with the image files in tabs. Like if I open them one by one. Is there a setting, or is this (mis-)behaviour due to limitation of the OS? 



I'm using GIMP 2.10.8, running under Windows 7.

hello,

iam using gimp 2.8 on xp sp3.

old gmic works fine.

i have installed the new gmic using the installer.  i have gone into the folders in preferences and changed/included the new folder in the "to look in" list.  i have tried totally removing the old copy of gmic but regardless nothing comes up as far as the new version.  so i have put the old one in an "old" folder so i can still use it.

i am not sure if they are supposed to but neither (old/new) gmic plugin is showing up in the plugin browser?

i have attached screenshots of preferences and explorer.

thanks for any help.        dhugg

I just tried this, with a John Constable painting you may find photographed at Wikipedia



And took it to GIMP, where I edited it and attempted a full restore to bring it back to life, and voilá, here's the end result:

Hope you like it, any comments or criticism welcome

Btw, I just added saturation, a bit of contrast with the curves, and used the exposure and blacks tool, that's all.

   

Hi all.  I'm new to the forum and need some help please.

I'm working on making this image look better and I can't figure it out.  I've checked various tutorials and watched several youtube explanations and nothing has worked.  It seems so simple, but my experience is very limited - would definitely call myself a rookie.

I'm trying to enlarge this image - currently 600x300 pixels to my goal of 4800x2400 pixels.  I will be printing it as part of a 4x2.5 foot sign.

It looks very good on screen, but when I printed it, it was blurry.  I use vistaprint and have never had issues with their quality so it's a problem on my end.  When I zoom in, the pixels seem huge and blocky.  Any direction on how I can fix this is much appreciated.

I use gimp and inkscape.  I also have photoshop CS3 on another laptop.  Thanks in advance for the help.
