Is it possible to install GIMP 2.10 onto Mac 2008 computer?
I teach a GIMP class for seniors here in Sydney, Aust. where we use Windows pcs.
One student in the November class said she downloaded GIMP 2.10 onto her Mac 2008. She says GIMP doesn't open.
Does she need to install and download an earlier version of GIMP for this computer?
Any advice will be much appreciated.
Hello!
I would dearly wish to know if webp, as image format, has any issue with animations over tansparent background when the frames overlap, or the trouble comes from Gimp.
Here I append two gif animations:
, on transparent background, and
with the alpha channel removed from each frame
Well, I can get the second one, exported from the same xcf file, in webp--but the first one comes out a mess--some frames merged toghether, and bits of black where there should be transparency...
I dare say it's silly enough. I have a piece of code in Gimp that reads:
Code:
postfix='_xcf.webp'
if GS: postfix='-GS' + postfix
if crop: postfix='-crop' + postfix
theName=name + postfix
to variously modify the name of my issue file.
It works to do what I wish, but it looks as ungainly as a five-legged mammoth.
Please, is there some more elegant way to achieve the same?
I have been reading about 'lambdas', but nothing seemed applicable...
And, if my quesion is as foolish as I feel at posting it, please disregard it...

Some number of years ago, one of the newer versions of the surface came with some new API for their pen, instead of using the API that Wacom made.
This made it it so that GIMP would not work with the new surface, or rather, using a pen had the same functionality as a mouse, and didn't respond to features like pen pressure.
This was a number of years ago. I am curious how things stand now. Has GIMP been updated to work with this microsoft pen API? Or has Microsoft reverted back to using the Wacom API? Or, since the latest Surface runs windows 10, has someone developed a way to install the Wacom API onto a surface so that programs that respond to it can be used?
Or is there some other reasonable workaround that lets people use pen pressure in GIMP on a Surface?
My wife and I enjoy creating stained glass projects.
Is there a way of opening an image in GIMP and then convert it to outlines of the image?
Typically in stained glass patterns there is a 3mm line that represents the thickness of the soldered areas connecting the various glass pieces together.
say for instance, that I opened an image of a birdhouse in GIMP.
would it be possible to have that image converted so that there are outlines of all objects within that image?
thank you all
I am using GIMP 2.10.12 running on Windows 10 and also windows 7
Well, I began working on a wrapper for the default gimp-vectors-export-to-file, but
-- The option 'export all paths' doesn't work from a plugin, likely for the same reason as the bug in my previous tread
-- Anyway, I wish to export just my 'selected paths', to a single file, and not merged, but as individual paths in a single SVG file.
Well, as can be seen from the attachment, I got 'almost' there by using xml.etree.ElementTree--the trouble is I cannot get it to save to svg without mangling the file by adding a nsO: namespace to every tag.
Inkscape and Chrome can cope with the mangled file, but Gimp CANNOT--and one cannot find fault with that!
Is there some alternative to reprocessing the whole file (maybe as a string?) and removing all those spurious nsO:?
I installed the newest GIMP version and downloaded the latest G'MIC version and put it in the plug-ins folder. However I get this error when opening GIMP or running the gmic_gimp_qt binary.
“libX11.6.dylib” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.
In the attachment, 2 Gimp plugins to do similar things:
beginning from a multi-layered xcf file, with o without an active selection, copy visible and export the result as:
1. webp -- workaround for a (reported) bug in GIMP 10
2. indexed png
Plugin 1 works without trouble, and so 2 for 8 bit perceptual.
Now, other precisions cannot be converted to indexed directly, so I am trying workarounds--and always find myself against
Code:
TypeError: wrong parameter type
marked #### in the plugin.
Worse, after reading the PDB documentation, I fail to understand the whys and wherefores...
Thanks for any explanation/help!
I have Gimp 2.10 on a new machine running Linux mint,
Im trying to open a .svg file but Gimp is not recognising the svg image size and defaulting to 500x500. I have used these files many times in the past and know they work.
In the past on my old machine (unbuntu 16.04) it recognised the image size and im able to set a width or height and the other variable changes automatically.
