Exclamation Constant Crashing
Posted by: shadowman247 - 08-14-2025, 09:24 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I have linked the crash report. Essentially, every time I try to make and edit text, the whole app just crashes. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it either. Sometimes it happens when I am changing the window size, i.e., going full screen, and other times it works and then crashes when picking a color or changing a text setting. Super random. Any help would be great! I put the crash report in a Google Doc as the text limit had been reached. Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

Looking for the best video converter to convert an AVI file to the MP4 format.
I'm facing an issue of compatibility with AVI files, and now I want them to be converted into the MP4 format so that the problem gets solved. plz recommend me an effective converter.
Earlier, I used to use (link to expensive software removed), which is good, but I need a new software.

  Turned image does not export
Posted by: Falu - 08-12-2025, 03:02 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.99 & Gimp 3.0 - Replies (4)

Hi,

Just installed Gimp 3.0.4.
Opened an image, which I turned horizontally. Then exported it to my desktop as jpg. Unfortunately the image isn't turned horizontally. The original image is exported.

What did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance and kr, Leo.

  pl_stroke_arrows, a GIMP 3.0 python plugin to draw simple arrows
Posted by: Scallact - 08-12-2025, 01:47 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (13)

This is my proposal for a plugin dedicated to a much requested feature in GIMP 3.0: stroke paths with an arrowhead at the end.
It has one genuine feature, compared to other similar plugins (AFAIK): the body path is shortened to ensure that the arrow tip ends up reasonably well aligned with the path's last point.
This apparently trivial feature actually hid a rabbit hole. The requirement of cutting a Bezier curve at a specific point send me through a deep dive into Bezier curves theory and algorithms. :-)

The image below shows a selection of arrowheads styles available:

   

The documentation is here, and you can download the current version here.

Make sure you place the folder named "pl_stroke_arrows" in the GIMP plug-ins folder inside your profile.
Depending on your operating system, make the file "pl_stroke_arrows.py" inside this folder executable.
The plugin should appear at the bottom of the "Edit" menu.

The plugin has been tested, but some new bugs will probably happen. Please report here, preferably with a downloadable .xcf file to exemplify the case.

  Freezes on PNG Export
Posted by: Hellmark - 08-11-2025, 05:34 PM - Forum: OSX - Replies (1)

When ever I am attempting to do a PNG export on my M4 Mac mini with Sequoia, instead of popping up the PNG export options dialog, it just freezes. I can't interact with anything. On the toolbar will have a PNG-export listed, but no windows for it are available.

  different shortcuts..
Posted by: jgimpval83 - 08-11-2025, 05:02 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hello fellow Gimp-Users.

I've been using Gimp for a couple years now.
As I got used to it, I also got used to the workflow and the shortcuts.
I just downloaded version 3 and to my surprise many shortcuts don't work at all (Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V/Ctrl+Zoom/Ctrl+H).
Also I was used to hit Ctrl+S to scale the current selection. Now it brings up the Shear tool and Ctrl+T seems to be for scaling.
I don't know what the developers were thinking on this release and why it would be a good idea to change shortcuts, people were used to for years. (vibe coding?)

However, in 2.8 everything works fine. My system is a clean W10 with more than enough performance.
Really dissapointed with this release. I know I can change my shortcuts manually, but why did they change them in first place? 
Anyone else facing the bugs of some not working at all?

  flatten
Posted by: skunkworks - 08-11-2025, 02:11 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

Creating a paperback cover. Instructions from Amazon say:

Quote:Image color, size, and quality. Images should be in CMYK color to ensure your cover looks good in print. All images should be sized at 100%, flattened to one layer, and placed in your document at a minimum resolution of 300 DPI (dots per inch).
 
Flatten all transparencies. These can cause the file to print with missing or distorted content.

More explanation would be great as well as how to accomplish these tasks.

  Gimp 3.0.4 Levels takes a long time to come up
Posted by: robertkjr3d - 08-11-2025, 12:45 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I was hoping for an update to this.  Have not experienced this before this latest upgrade.  You open the levels screen and it could take literally 5-minutes before it shows a histogram or your able to hit auto.  I have a gaming machine.  Maybe this has been mentioned 42 times already.

  gegl filters in batch processing
Posted by: pyjamaslug - 08-10-2025, 08:18 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (5)

I am trying to call a gegl edge detect filter repeatedly in a while loop as here


Code:
        (while (not (null? filepaths))        
                       ;some stuff    
                       (gimp-drawable-merge-new-filter
            2                         ; The drawable to apply the filter to
            "gegl:edge"                        ; The name of the GEGL operation
            0                                  ; The merge-mode (0 for normal)
            LAYER-MODE-REPLACE                 ; The layer mode (e.g., replace, normal, etc.)
            100.0                              ; The opacity (0.0 to 100.0)
            "amount" 2.0                       ; Parameter: amount of edge detection
            "border-behavior" "none"           ; Parameter: how to handle image borders
            "algorithm" "sobel"                ; Parameter: the edge detection algorithm
            )
                        ;some more stuff
          )
 it works but only on the first image in the batch. Is there something I need to do to get it to work on all the images?

  Masks - Can't seem to get it right
Posted by: AceMcHammer - 08-10-2025, 04:16 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (19)

I'm running GIMP 2.10.20 on Windows 10 on a 4K screen.

I searched for and found various GIMP mask tutorials but for some reason it never comes out right.  

I have a specific image that I'm trying to "enhance" with a mask.  BTW, this image is a copyright released image found here for any would-be copyright nazis out there.

I'm trying to get this image here.......

[Image: Young-America.png]


to look like this image here.........

[Image: Young-America-with-mask.png]


As you can see the second image has a very light sort of sepia tint to it and I'm guessing they made a mask over the whole image.  So if I like the second image better then why don't I just use the second image?  I have a higher resolution image of this image than the one that I found online that's been masked and in addition to that the second image has been cropped and I want to use the uncropped image.  

Can someone give me detailed instruction on how to get the first image to look exactly like the second image by making a mask?  Thanks in advance
