Hi, I'm new with Gimp.
I tried to install it yesterday, version 2.10.8, on Windows 7, 32-bit, but when i open it and try to open a file to edit, it crashes, and says:
'GNU Image Manipulation Program has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.'
Please help, how can i fix this?
Thank you.

Cannot Browse Windows network FS |

GIMP 2.10.8 - Windows 10 PRO (64-bit) [Version 10.0.17134.472] - Windows Network
When I want to open a file in a subdirectory, and I open a networkdrive, I can't browse through the directory tree.
Eg. I open a drive M: with DIR1, DIR2 and DIR3 in in it, and I want to browse further in DIR2, I get an error:
Could not read the contents of DIR2
Error when getting information for file "M:\DIR2\DIRECTEUR": Input/output error
It seems that GIMP wants to read the complete tree, and needs access to all. The directory DIR2\DIRECTEUR is not accessible to me, but others in DIR2 are, and that's where my files are. So the only possibilities are Open Location... where I have to know exactly where the file is and how it's called, or browsing with the Explorer to the place, abd use 'Open with ...' there.
Why can't I browse from within GIMP? What can I do?

animation over a video? |

Hi
I'm trying to make an animation that can play over a video. I have 20 files saved as .png so that the end file can be placed over a video so that it shows through the clear area, but when I run the animation playback all the images remain on the screen. If I save them as jpgs of course it's fine.
What's the best way to do this whole thing?

GIMP RAW Colour Management |

I am using GIMP 2.10.8 on Linux and I have a problem with colour management. I work with RAW (NEF) files and use Darktable for RAW conversion. Most of my work is done in sRGB colour space so Darktable's output profile is set to sRGB (web-safe). In GIMP, Colour Management is enabled and the preferred RGB profile set to GIMP built-in sRGB.
The colours appear exactly as expected during the processing and the completed image is generally exported as a JPEG. The viewer I normally use is Gwenview. Here again the full-sized image is displayed as expected, but the thumbnails are much darker. If I look at the EXIF data in Gwenview I find there are not one, but two EXIF tags titled "Color Space" - one shows "Uncalibrated", the other "sRGB".
If I take a JPEG straight from the camera, both these EXIF tags show "sRGB" and the thumbnails display correctly. Subsequent processing in GIMP does not affect the EXIF tags or the thumbnail display in Gwenview. Exactly the same behaviour occurs with DigiKam as the viewer.
If before exporting from GIMP, I deliberately click Image -> Color Management -> Assign Color Profile it makes no difference to the situation described above. However, if I take the exported JPEG derived from the RAW file via Darktable and re-load it into GIMP, then add "Assign Color Profile", the thumbnails in Gwenview (or DigiKam) display correctly, but the two Color Space EXIF tags remain as "Uncalibrated" and "sRGB".
I am baffled by this behaviour, which is admittedly more of a nuisance than a serious problem, as each image displayed singly is fine and subsequent processing to print works perfectly. However, apart from the irritation of having very dark thumbnails displayed in the viewer I am concerned about the two conflicting EXIF tags and wonder whether this might cause a problem where the images are displayed on another computer, e.g. for competitions.
I would be very grateful for any explanation and hopefully a fix for this problem.

How much size upscale or size downscale before pixelation or degradation of image? |

Hey guys, I have been reading around this subject, how much size upscale and size downscale can be done before significant pixelation and significant degradation of image, and haven't found many correlative answers, other than every software behaves different.
Specifically I'm thinking of an image with this qualities: - 23 megapixels camera resolution and 5520x4144 pixels .jpg - treated in Gimp and rendered in .png with alpha layers. After all the reading I did I settled on nohalo for upscale, and lohalo for downscaling. Sometimes I keep nohalo for downascaling as well.
I'm transforming my images to 32 bit floating point precision with max resolution (1.000.000 ppi) in Gimp when first opened.
But the heart of the question is, how much upscale and downscale generally can be done to an image before it degrades or pixelates in Gimp?

Python-fu plugin UI |

I have two questions regarding Python-fu plugin user interfaces.
1. Let say I am integrating two or more algorithms into my plugin. The user choose the algorithm with the PF_OPTION control. I would like the plugin user interface to update itself by hiding or making visible certain UI controls. Is it possible to achieve this behaviour with Python-fu? If not, is there any way to achieve something like this with any other tool?
2. An image is worth a thousand words. Instead of showing a PF_OPTION with a list of names trying to describe the output effect, is it possible to have a PF_OPTION showing a list of example pictures of the effects? I'm not interested in generating a preview!!!

Divide circular ring to x parts |

Hey all,
I'm ultimately looking to cut out x percentage of a cicular ring and center it perfectly when I'm finished.
Embarrassingly I've spent hours trying to do this with no luck, and no relevant google searches that I could find either. How would one go about doing this?
