  Transform Handles hard to see
Posted by: denzjos - 04-28-2026, 07:03 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Is it possible to make the handles of 'Tools/Transformation Tool/Transformation Handle' in GIMP 3.2.4 more visible on a screen with a resolution of 3840 x 2160? They are difficult to see on such a screen. 
Two handles in screen below (do not zoom in, that image is what you see on a 3840x2160 screen):

  Gimp V.3.2.x No Batch Edit Mode?
Posted by: Taggs - 04-28-2026, 12:13 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Has Gimp stopped including Batch editing. It seems to have gone since v3.0.8. but was such a useful tool. If so, does anyone know of a GUI plug-in for this version please.

Thanks in advance

  key-mon don't want to install on Linux Mint MATE 22.3
Posted by: PixLab - 04-28-2026, 07:49 AM - Forum: Watercooler - Replies (4)

Yes it's a python 2.7 problem, I changed MX Linux for Linux Mint MATE Big Grin

So, I just discovered one in the key-mon spirit, it's called kmcaster > https://github.com/flathub/com.whitemagi.../tag/1.1.0
I downloaded the .jar (make it executable)
Then for the shortcut in the menu and Plank, I did put a 'kmcaster-launch.sh' in my 'patrice' directory with

Code:
#!/bin/bash
cd "/home/patrice/Applications/"
# -d 50 is dimension-height in pixels (default is 100. accept only integer)
java -jar "kmcaster.jar" -d 50

   

the mouse wheel works, does not have a right click menu, I close the app from the panel/Plank icon with a right click or Alt+F4, does not have all the whistle and bells of key-mon, but it works just well and fine and the size is adjustable from the .sh (which key-mon wasn't)

I might know some-one who could be interested... Rich? Big Grin

Tongue How to create custom composition guides
Posted by: VulpineVisions - 04-25-2026, 11:45 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi!
I would like to create a composition guide for Gimp, but I couldn't find anywhere stating how.

For clarifications, I would like to create the composition guides used with the crop tool, i.e. my custom version of the Rule of thirds, Golden sections etc. but with my own proportions.  I've attached two images highlighting what I am mean, I would like to create a custom of those.

I am aware of that one can use vertical and horizontal guides by going to the Image Menu > Guides > New Guides, but that is not the kind I want to use. Neither would I like to use configurable Grid by View > Show Grid. 

Thank you in advance Big Grin

  Beginner question - setting image print position on A4 page
Posted by: nmw01223 - 04-22-2026, 07:57 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (10)

I am a beginner on GIMP (using 3.0.8). I am trying to print an image on an A4 sheet in a specific location.

It's actually a greetings card (made of an A4 pages folded in half) and the image needs to fill the bottom half of the A4 page, with a 5mm border all round.

I can set the image aspect ratio OK, but when I come to print it, I can see no way of placing it to a specific location on the page. In Photoshop, in the print dialog, you can specifiy the offset of the image to position it anywhere you like. But, I just can't see how to do that in GIMP.

Is there a way, what am I missing? The only thing I can see to do is pad the image with a lot of white space so it completely fills an A4 sheet and print that, but it does seem clunky.

  Rotating a layer against another leaves an unjustifiable white line
Posted by: NickPearl - 04-20-2026, 01:18 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (11)

I need to reduce the inseam of somebody's shorts.
The technique that I have thought about that can do this is to rotate her legs. So, I rotate one leg and then I rotate another leg.
However, this process leaves an absolutely unjustifiable white line that cannot be fixed.

Here are the details:

The original picture is this:
https://i.imgur.com/XVLBbZ9.jpeg

I load it into GIMP by Ctrl+Shift+V.
Then I use the free-form select to select the area that I want to rotate.
Here is the selection:
https://i.imgur.com/U9t5siP.jpeg

Then:
Edit -> cut
Edit -> Paste as -> Paste as single layer in place
In the Layers window (bottom-right of the screen), I move the new layer below the main layer.
At this point, it looks like this:
https://i.imgur.com/cqcRJdA.jpeg

Then, In the Layers window (bottom-right of the screen), I select the main layer, and add alpha channel to it.
Then I select the fuzzy select tool. Then I click inside that white area.
Then I press the Delete button.

As a result of that, the leg becomes visible THROUGH the hole in the main layer.
It looks like this:
https://i.imgur.com/YketQ4c.jpeg

Then I rotate the Leg layer.
Here is the result:
https://i.imgur.com/DxZfbhu.jpeg

Then I merge all the layers.
Then I flatten the image.
Here is the final result:
https://i.imgur.com/SDNYibB.jpeg

As you can see, the two triangular white shapes are justifiable side effects of the rotation, and I can easily fix them.
However the white line is ABSOLUTELY NOT a justifiable side effect of the rotation, because the rotation rotates the back layer (the leg) towards and partially to the back of the main layer. So it shouldn't create an empty space (an empty line) between the two layers.

Also, please note that fixing that white line is not possible (or maybe not easy) because it is right next to the sewing line of the zipper. If I use the heal tool to remove the white line, the sewing line will also be removed, which is absolutely not acceptable.

1. Why does that white line happen?

   I really don't understand why this happens.
   Can you please shed some light on this issue?
   Please note that doing this same thing in other apps (for example Microsoft Paint) does NOT create that white line.

2. How can I avoid that white line?

3. If it is impossible to avoid it, how can I fix it?

Please help.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Nick P.
