Pic related was extracted from an image of a fossil by using wavelet decompose and the selection tool. I want the eventual image to be a kind of stencil of the skeleton's outline. I'm almost to where I want to be, but I can't figure out how to connect all of the disparate splotches into one continuous outline without doing it manually. 

I've already tried messing with the threshold on the select tool without much luck.

Hi,
I use GIMP on win and mac platform.
I'm wondering why to start it, it employ many time!
How can I avoid it?

TIA

Hi everyone!

I am a complete newbie, I only downloaded GIMP a couple of days ago. I have a few underwater photos I'd like to improve the colours in - as far as I understand it's mainly colour balance and white balance I need to alter. So I had a play around, and was pretty happy with what I managed to do! HOWEVER, I have obviously misremembered what I actually did, as tonight I couldn't seem to have much success on my other photos, so I went back to this one and tried to recreate what I did... and I just cannot seem to get it close!

I would be incredibly grateful if anyone could help!  I really thought I just tried adjusting color curves (perhaps after using auto fix white balance), perhaps with slight changes of hue/saturation. But no matter which channels and combinations of channels I try adjusting now, I can't seem to get the result I did the other day...

So, how would you lovely people get the first image to look like the second? (Or, if you can make the second one better please do tell me what I should do!)


Above: 1) The original image (smaller)



Above: 2) The result of my first editing attempts, that I'm pretty happy with   




Above: 3) One of my many attempts to repeat the edit, and failing - I either seem to just change the overall colour, or by getting either the sand, shark, or sea closer to the correct colour it seems to make the others worse, I must be missing something...

Thanks very much in advance!

OS: Ubuntu 18.04
GIMP: 2.10.8

I'm having a very difficult time getting JPG files exported from GIMP to render correctly in a web browser. I can get them to show up correctly if I open the gimp exported jpg with IrfanView (I have to use Wine to use this) and save the image using the Save for Web option. It would be most helpful if I could use GIMP to correctly save JPG files suitable for the web. Two versions of the same image - 1st GIMP, 2nd Irfanview.

Thanks for reading and maybe offering a suggestion for resolving this.

Cheers

Hey friends Happy New Year,

I'm new to the forum and just have a quick question, for which I'm hoping the answer is staring me in the face. I'm using 2.10.8, have successfully installed a tablet, use no plug-ins, etc. and am playing around with sketching and drawing. I'd like to get to coloring if at all possible, except that every time I try to pick a solid color that isn't grey-scale black and white, if I'm using just a regular Gimp-installed brush, it defaults to using a gradient?  

I really just want a solid color without any kind of fading.  I've played around with the gradient settings.  I can't seem to even set one to a single color.  I'm not seeing anything in the user manual or on the forum, so I'm really, really hoping that I'm not seeing the forest for the trees.

Attaching my current settings.


Anybody know what to click or clack to help me get into

Hi,  I used to be able to use the transform button and have the selection move coinciding horizontal & vertical at the same time, if I dragged at the right point.  It won't do that anymore.  One side or another.   shift T
 There are white turned squares.
There are squares at the corners.
There are smaller squares centered on each side.

The small squares used to do both sides equally.
Not any more.
Do you know what happened?
Thank you,
Terry. 

Is there a plugin or a means to weight a shaped blend to certain predetermined points instead of the normal center of the shape?

I have a 50+ year old color photo that has faded badly, now scanned in.   Mainly, the picture is just yellowish.  The greens do not look much green.  The blue does not look much like blue.  There is some red.  

Is there a way to say 'just make the color more vivid'?

Upgraded to Linux Mint 19.1 last week. Now if I want to open a file in Gimp the whole system crashes. Have to restart completely. Am not sure that it has to do with the new version but it looks likely.
Uninstalled Gimp and removed all directories and files. Installed Gimp 2.8 and 2.10 from repositories but the same thing happens in both versions.
Any advice on what else I could do?
