Greetings Everyone,

I'm trying to understand why GIMP - (version 2.10.14), when on i5-2500 cpu with 32GB RAM and GTX 760 (2GB), was maxing out system, but now on a AMD Ryzen 5 3600X with 32GB and a GTX 760 (2GB) its still MAXing out the cpu.

PS: I haven't re-installed anything yet. But I'm wondering why this is sucks up EVERYTHING !

Thanks.

Considering this a graphics software forum, I thought you people will be putting some decorations for holidays. Not that it is important, but getting along with the festive mood is nice, right ?

This is what has been happening, as shown in this GIF.



I've had 2.10.8 for a while on my Windows 10 laptop and recently changed to 2.10.14 via uninstall in an attempt to fix this! Unfortunately the first part of this image is the vast norm and the part where it actually makes marks is rare and random (in fact it went back to no longer moving immediately after the GIF stopped recording) and even when that happens I can't switch tools. What in the world is causing this? How do I fix it?

Note, the transformation tools and filters/image adjustments work fine. It's just the drawing part which I need most

Hello,

I've recently upgraded to GIMP 2.10.14 and have noticed that all of my 300DPI drawings when updating and saving them it is changing the DPI to 72. It doesn't matter if the drawing was created in 2.10.14 or not.

For instance I opened up drawing U-180 and I took a screen shot of the Image>Print Size window:



I then File > Save as and saved it as U-180a, went back to Image > Print Size and now it shows 72 DPI:




Is there something that I am missing or is this a bug?

I couldn't find anything in the official release notes but I did find an article that states "Also, images opened with GIMP will now default to 72 PPI when no explicit resolution is stored in the imported file."

Could it be that it's not saving the resolution?

Thanks,
Softsah

I'm using the gradient tool but want the gradient to have less transition in between, basically be a little more severe. Is there a way to adjust for this?

I'm using windows GIMP 2.10.14. I created an image and tried to save it to a path like

\\myshare\pics\asdf\img.xcf

but nothing happened. Is there a way to save to a UNC path? Thanks.

I just started playing with gimp and was wondering if there is such and option.
Basically it's the feature in Krita or photoshop brushes that allows the brush to pick up texture from a black and white alpha texture simulating a real papers 'tooth'.
was wandering if I am missing something as I searched the web and could not find any information about it.

If there is some script or another solution that somebody made please share it.

is anyone on willing to help me blur a face on a photo privately?  if so please send me a pm so I can explain in detail

I just installed Linux Mint 19.3 with Cinnamon desktop on a Thinkpad with resolution 3840x2160.  I have GIMP 2.8.22 installed.  The tool icons are too small.  How do I make them larger?  Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi there, back again with more challenging graphic, at least for me.

I have a 10,000 points of co-ordinate x-y. 
Is there anyway, i can import my points in, and the path start drawing the lines and then interpolate using some polynomial / bezier curve ?
Here is a sample graph, when i plot it in excel.
