When it comes to importing a RAW image in Gimp 2.10.x there is not much choice. The developers favour RawTherapee and Darktable and that is about it. Both quite large, stand-alone applications.

There is provision in the Gimp code for other applications to work and as far as I know, only nufraw has this enabled.  While I use nufraw in Linux (kubuntu 18.04 / Gimp 2.10.12) not much provision for Windows users.

The Partha version of Gimp 2.10.12 (64 bit only) contains the nufraw plugin, so one way is install that version,  it does a separate install to the regular Gimp 2.10.x. You can have both, if you want.

If you want to keep just  your regular gimp.org Gimp installation the attached zip contains just the nufraw Gimp plugin.

Download, unzip put the whole nufraw folder in C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins

In use: The regular Gimp File -> Open selects the file and it opens with nufraw. For a quick 'into Gimp', set the Output to 16 bit and click the green 'ok' tick icon.

   

Tried out in a Win10/Gimp 2.10.12 and generally seems to work ok. The usual guarantee, there is none. What does not work - Lens Correction and I have left the locale files out. I have no way of checking those anyway.

Installed Rawtherapee recently for editing raw nikon files. It can do a lot of things available in GIMP.

Instead of using Rawtherapee first and then GIMP on editing an image, prefer to just stick to GIMP.

If GIMP has editing work scope of 8 (0-10), where is Rawtherapee?

Hope one day, one can import raw file directly into GIMP.

Thanks.

As the title says, I wanna add text on a GIF. As for the position, I want to both add text on the GIF itself, and also on top of the GIF (in a white background). But I'm confused as to how to do it. Any help will be appreciated.

I posted a problem in the 2.8 forum here:
https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Feathe...t-turn-off

Then I uninstalled 2.8 and installed 2.10.16.
The same bug exists in GIMP 2.10: I can't add or subtract regions from a selection without a cut doing feathering, regardless of whether I have feathering turned on or off.  It's worse in GIMP 2.10; the effect is even more clearly visible.

But I have done this exact operation for years, and it only stopped working yesterday!

Can someone please look at the images in the 2.8 thread, and help figure out why even a fresh install of GIMP, working on a brand new image, won't let me add or subtract selections to the current selection anymore?  I can't use GIMP anymore unless I can fix this!

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit.

I'm trying to crop the white border around this hat.  I used select-by-color with a very high threshold to select anything with white in it.
You see that there are some areas inside the hat selected.



I invert the selection with ctrl-I, then use "shift" to add the selected area to the selection.  (Curiously, the tool shows that it's in mode "replace", which it isn't, as you'll see in the next photo.)



The pixels inside that parallelogram have been added to the selection:


If at this time I delete the selection, notice the dark smudges inside the hat (one is the upper-left corner) where it doesn't remove all the color.
It appears to be feathering.


Undo, ctrl-I, delete the white: also deletes the same amount from the hat as was left behind in the previous delete:



This has got me totally stuck!  I've tried turning antialiasing on and off, tried using "subtract" mode instead of "add" mode--no matter what I do, I can't get GIMP to delete just the area inside the selection.  Note feathering is turned off both of all the selection tools used.
I'm on a tight deadline and have no way to proceed.

The different value between Sample Points Vs Color Picker.

Hello, I'm not sure how to explain, but I think the image illustrious enough about my doubt.
I use the Color Picker (CP) to find a point (X,Y) of the image with a certain amount of tone desired. So I create at the same point (X,Y) a Sample Points (SP).

As the point is the same, the image is the same, the Value should be the same in the Sample Point window and in the Color Picker window, and usually has been, but ...
In the creation of points 01 and 02 indicated in the image, there was fidelity between the values of Value displayed by SP and CP, but when defining point 03, there was a discrepancy.

According to the image below, for the same position X = 576 and Y = 676 the Value at the sample point is 42%, while in the Color Picker it is 37.6%
   
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but what?
Why different values?
Thx.

Hi.

I am making a GIF and this is my first time, so I have a lot of questions .
So, I put the pictures into layers & I exported the GIF, but when a layer appears, the one before it doesn't disappear, so it looks like it's trailing. 
While exporting, I chose (replace) in frame disposal but it doesn't do a thing!

This is how it looks:

Hello guys, this is my first question here.

So, I was trying to make a GIF using sprites I downloaded. However, the pictures are very small, and whenever I try to make them larger, the quality becomes low.
Is there any way to fix this? Thanks.
