When I try to drag it it only leaves separated dots vs a smooth line. Is there a way to fix it

Basically title says it all. I know there's a command in preferences to remember window position for multi-docks, but this does not seem to work when 2nd monitor is involved.

Or am I missing something?

Thanks!


Oops found it already!! I just had to tick that "open windows on the same monitors". I didn't get that on the 1st take, now it's logical and it works.

I have hundreds of scanned pages from a large 100 year old book that need sized consistently. I'm using Gimp 2.8.10

Currently I select the portion of the page left to right that has text and the very edge of the page top and bottom.

I then select grow by 250 pixels

then crop to selection

then canvas size 2000 px by 3300 px, CENTERED

then mode grayscale

then levels 50, .5, 200

the result is exactly what I need

I don't know anything about writing scripts. Can this all be done with a single click after the selection is made? If so, how?

Thanks Sandy

When I try on the one with the title (the first) it says "cannot subtract from an empty selection"
On the one without (second) when I first open the file it says "Execution error for procedure 'gimp-image-set-color-profile': ICC profile validation failed: Color profile is not for grayscale color space" whatever that means. When I press ok then try to fuzzy select, it says the same thing as the other file. Why does it do this?
Ok doesn't seem to let me upload 2 files at once...I'll just upload the 1st then.

Firstly, I am a total novice with sort of stuff so be kind....

What  I need help with is as follows

I construct card buildings which are printed on to paper before being fixed to card and cut out. Each sheet has certain parts of the building, walls, roofs, doors etc
What I need help with is I want to just change the colours of the doors for example which are a blue colour. A friend has done this by getting the page on screen selecting the area to change, by just clicking on the door colour, and selecting a new colour, so nothing changes except the area chosen
This all seems easy but not to me!!

Help needed and if possible in simple terms

Thanks Steve

Hi,
I did a close up video of a geografic map and exported all single frames. Now i have over 11000 Jpeg files.
I need to make one big picture.i need to be able to get this 11000 jpeg arranged in a grid and have the possibility to move the single jpeg in the grid so they allign precisly.
Any help is much appreciated.
I obviously hope there is a way this wont take me a life time to finish
PS. I imported al 11k files as layer and total file size was 36gb...my pc cant handle that much....maybe 12gb is doable

Hey,
I have a script that takes all the files in a folder, crops them, and exports them. However, it tries to take things in that folder that aren't images (text files, pesky invisible metadata files) and tries to edit them, which throws an error. How do I fix that?

Using 2.10.12 under Ubuntu.
In 2.8, one placed pictures in home/.gimp-2.8/splashes.  I tried renaming the folder as .gimp-2.10 but GIMP did not use the images.
If I could get the offline Help to open, I might be able to find how to change the splash screen, but it keeps trying to load something off the Internet which is not allowed by the AppArmor settings.  The help files are there, somewhere.  I saw them once, down about eight levels of folders, and they were all XML.  I don't have an XML viewer.
Is there a way to get GIMP to find and use them?
If not, is there a PDF of the 2.10.12 offline help?
If not, how do I get GIMP to use different splash screens?

If one try to take a clean photo from old buidings, people or cars appear in front of the lens. The solution is to take a few pictures with the same viewpoint (tripod) with an interval of a few seconds. Then load the photos in gimp as layers, make a mask on each layer and wipe the unwanted out. A few years ago I dit it with PS but it is the same with gimp.
