Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening everyone,

3.0 hype!
Are Python plug-ins working on 3.0? My WIP RC3 plugins are no longer functional and the examples don't work for me either (Tutorial and example)

If someone has been able to get it working, would you please send me a sample Or debugging tips if you'd be so kind.


I'm looking forward to working with GIMP 3, although it looks like it may be an up hill battle with the new API.
I'm still trying to figure out how to save a layer to file, lol. (Gimp.file_save the entire image?)

Thank you for your time!

Good evening to the entire Forum.
I am a new member of this Forum but I have been using Gimp for several years, where I am part of several Forums (GimpChat, is an example) in the field.
I want to migrate to Gimp 3.0, but I don't want to lose some of the Scripts and Plug-ins that I have in Gimp 2.10.38, so my question is.
Where and how do I place the Plug-ins? and the Scripts? from Ofnuts In 2.10.38 I know, but in this new one, I'm confused.
Thanks..

Hello everyone!

How would you guys use GIMP to make a weather map with radar, like this one?:

Specifically, how would you get that pixelated look for the storm system? I don't want it to look too smooth or clean.

Thank you everyone!

I recently upgraded to Gimp 3.0 flatpak from 2.10
Runnning on Linux Mint 20.2, Cinnamon 5.0.7
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor × 8, 31.3 GiB memory, NVIDIA Corporation TU116 [GeForce GTX 1660 Ti]
I'm using Turboprint 2.57-1 driver to interface to a Epson Stylus Photo R2880 image printer, also a Brother laser printer

In Gimp 2.10, the print menu had a "Image Settings" tab, which has disappeared in Gimp 3.0. 
This tab is very important because it allows to set the image size and position on the printed page. 
I tried every menu option I could find related to this but could not find a solution. I have to revert to 2.10 to print images. 
The "Image Settings" tab is available in 2.10 for my various printers, not only for the Epson R2880. Also, that menu is available in other image processing software, but not in the new Gimp 3.0

Does anybody have information on this please?

       

Hi,

A version of GIMP focused on painting and drawing called Artbox, using the latest GIMP code with new features added. An AppImage is also available for Linux systems. It is improved to work better on 4K screens and it includes plug-ins Almost Autosave and Incremental Saving amongst others. Custom made themes replace the default GIMP themes.

Created because it is enjoyable to make your own stuff and shared because that's what FOSS is about.
I've used it every day for months, so it is a well tested but not perfect, more insights and feedback are welcome. It's an ongoing project.

Visit the Artbox site for more information, https://script-fu.github.io/artbox/

Hello again everyone,

I am back again after a long time with a strange request. If it is beyond the scope of this forum just let me know. I am trying to do a two frame animation with the eject button image shown below. Frame 1 would be the image as it currently is and frame 2 would be the same image with the protection cover raised exposing the eject switch.

I thought it would be a simple thing to find online but after searching for a few hours I cannot even find an eject button image that was not just a red button.

Is this something that can be easily done in GIMP or do I need to keep searching.

Thanks
      
   

Full picture for reference

   

I switched to a Linux a couple of month ago (Mint 22.1/Cinnamon) and so far everything is going reasonably well. Coming from Win10 and doing a good deal of photo editing, the only fly in the ointment is that I have to give up on Affinity Photo (doesn't run under Wine for me, so still dual booting for that purpose). 

Naturally, I'm looking into GIMP as a replacement and I have installed the 3.0 RC3 flatpak. But there's a bit of a hiccup that bothers me to no end and keeps me from making a serious attempt at starting to learn the software: when I load an image and want to move it around with the Move tool, it is very slow (from dragging the mouse a small amount to the image jumping into position, it takes about 2 seconds). Other tools, like the paint brush or healing brush seem to work quick and without delay (AMD Ryzen 5700, 64 GB Ram, NVME drive).

I searched around for a solution and came across some posts discussing GIMP being slow, but none of that really applied to my situation. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the flatpak, and I played around with the Tile Cache Size (set it to 32 GB, half my system RAM), but all to no avail. The same image (a roughly 6000 x 4000 jpg) loaded into Krita can be moved around smoothly and without any delay.

Would appreciate any pointers what else to look into.

I'm thinking of getting a spare one in case.
