Hello,

I'm fairly new to Gimp, and have a project where I'd like to isolate some colors in a photo.
It is to hopefully reveal a hidden message.
I'm thinking I can remove some colors (maybe convert them to a specific color like white) so what's left are all colors except what I picked.
Thanks.
Paul

Hello guys,

I'm using Windows 10/32-bit.  I have recently installed GIMP 2.10.12.  I can't open image files (jpg, jpeg, bmp, etc.).

I uninstalled and re-installed this version several times, and I still can't solve the problem.

Any solutions.  I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

P.S.  I've attached error message and open file dialogue.

Hey all!  

I wanted to say thanks for the help I got last week on installing an add-on.  Great stuff...

But on to the current problem!  I am making a map and have a bunch of brushes consisting of different cartography symbols.  I am part way through the project and am having problems matching the cartography brush symbols to the project.

I know a lot of this will be by hand and am open to any advice about layer settings and crazy blur effects as well.

Current layers
parchment under normal mode
coast line under burn
and the symbol itself is on a normal layer.

I am using MyBB as well. I was wondering how you set the UserCP additional info (such as Operating System and version) in the postbit.

In templates -> <template set> -> Post Bit Templates -> postbit_author_user  I have these

Hello all,

I created a path with a lot of points. I then duplicated the path so that I can attempt separating them into two smaller paths.

Is there a way to select a bunch of the points as a group to perform an operation on them such as removal? Or am I forced having to delete each point separately, one at a time. I would think that the former is a fairly obvious feature because the latter is such a big hassle.

Are there any good tutorials/sample code for using python scrips to edit metadata (Image > Metadata > Edit Metadata)?

Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to create a basic arrow in GIMP?

I am trying to make straight and curved arrows for tutorial images. As shown in attachment:
   

I tried using the ArrowsCreator plugin but it only does straight arrows from one point to another, not curved.

Hi everyone,

I have downloaded GIMP, and know nothing about it yet, except it supports scripting. Can anybody tell me if it can be used as a tool for my specific purpose?

I am thinking about developing software. Users of this, can load photo's, each of which are (optionally scaled) placed somewhere in the result, which will be a photo collage. To figure out if such software is of any use, and to test in practice how it would "feel", I was thinking about setting up an experimental quick&dirty test set-up. 

I will run my own program, written in C, having its own UIF to let the user define the photo collage. It generates a GIMP script file. I just read this should be in Scheme/Script-Fu, which I figure will be in ASCII format? After this, GIMP should load the script and execute it, to see the final result. If all this is possible, it wil be very unworkable, however my goal is to setup a quick&dirty environment, only to orientate myself about developing software for the photo collage. 

I only need three script commands: load photo (name), scale it (width, length) and place it (x, y). These will be repeated for each photo. (after learning GIMP, maybe GIMP can do the full job all on its own without my external C code?)

My two questions:

- Do these three script commands exsist? (I also might need "new": erase all previous content)
- How to load the script file in GIMP and run it?

very many thanks for any feedback!

I want to crop objects which have transparent parts from the background of some images, but I don't know how. Every tutorial I have found has only been for cropping out fully opaque objects from an image. Does anyone know a tutorial or any tips for how to do this?
