Hi,

I've read a dozen of forum answers about how to suppress "a color" but I can't find how to change a color range. Yet, the "rotate colors" tool enables me to beautifully target the desired range, but I can only change it to another color (not including white unfortunately). I can't change it to transparent.

I have many methods (including by moving sensitivity or selection type (composite, saturation, Hue, etc) oh each tool) to no avail, mainly because the zone has different shades of green and has hair accross it:
o select by color
o select with magic wand
o Color to alpha
o and several other methods I don't even remember now, probably all tools that can be found in "Colors".


What is frustrating is that I know from "rotate colors" that GIMP can identify this range.

Any ideas welcome!

Thanks a lot,

So, I'm trying to use this autosave plugin. I downloaded the file and unzipped it and put the .py file into the GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\python folder. But when I opened GIMP, I can't find anything that says "auto-save" or something like it. According to the author, it should be in the "menu-image-bar under '<Image>/Extensions/Plugins-Python/File'". I don't know where this is and I can't find it. Please help, I don't know much about coding, GIMP or anything relevant in general.

On his web site Partha says he has not succeeded in building a stable, Mac-usable 2.10.12 version of GIMP. Since his builds are the only way I know to integrate nufraw into GIMP for the Mac, and since 2.10.8 crashes on my systems rather often*, I wonder if any macOS people are working on 2.10.12 for Mac?

Does anyone know?

Many Thanks,

Glen

Every time I open Gimp 2.10.14 the histogram defaults to the range 0,-0.  In fact, every time I open a new image this happens.  Is there any way to set it to default 0,255?  Also, am I the only one with this issue?

Hello,

First time here, glad I found this forum because I really need your help. I'm not a graphic artist or anything like that, is just that I was looking for a tool that allows me to create "paper marbling" on the computer. I'm working with a book that I would like to send to be bind by hand and you use paper marbling for the guard pages and covers as part of the binding process. There are many to chose from but I would like to make one by myself. First I found this site called, Marbelizer. Here is the creator's web site . But it is very limited. Then I remembered that I used Gimp in the past to do very basic photo editing and wonder if it was capable to do such a thing. Well I did try, I found the warp tool to be very handy and learn the basics with layers, and filters and the end result was pure and utterly crap... awful. I will show you them, not to boast on what I did but to show you my level of incompetence. I don't even know if I'm using the right tool. I heard about other program called Krita and took a look at it, but if I'm a noobie with Gimp, with Krita I will be a zero to the left. Do you know if there are Gimp filters that provides that sort of effect when you are spreading/splashing acrylic paint over water? What about the combs? For example a warp tool that have multiple "pointers" instead of one. Do you know of any tutorial to create "Gimpaper" marbling?

First examples of beautiful, professional, paper marbling on books:

Example 1, Example 2, Example 3


And now here is what I did

Paper Marbling Attempt

Best regards.

I have a Mac, and wanted to export individual layers.  I tried to install the plug-in Export Layers following the instructions for Mac.  Tried versions 3.1, 2.1 and 2.0, by following the directions and moving the two files into the Gimp plug-in folder on my computer.  Nothing worked, so I deleted everything in the plug-in folder, and decided to start over and that I'll just have manually export layer by layer.  However, I can't even export anything as a PNG file anymore.  I tried restarting my computer and everything. When I try to Export, I get the error message:

The given filename does not have any known file extension. Please enter a known file extension or select a file format from the file format list.

1. There was nothing in the file format list when usually I see all the options like jpg, png, etc etc

2. I literally tried to save the file type as:
wind1.png 
with no spaces or anything... 

Thanks so much for your help in advance!!

The popularity ofn-file-next has always been a mystery to me, but its brutal demise last winter is an even bigger mystery.

   

I have many scans of transparencies that have the film holder as a black border. When Using GIMP 2.10.10 to open an image, it opened the image only, and not the black border. This was very useful and made cropping un-necessary. Being an idiot and not letting well alone, I changed some settings and now the images load with the black film-holder border.

I tried un-installing and re-installing Gimp but it never comes back as it originally installed. So, does any one know what settings might restore the ability to load and have  the border deleted in the one "Open" command.   Failing that, what do I  do within the program to delete the black border? Or, how do you  delete all the Gimp installation completely as if was never installed. Then I can start anew.

I am setting up Gimp for my mother to use in hopes that she can use it to fix scanned photos.
I am having trouble finding a way to create shortcuts for the following options :
Auto equalize
Auto white balance
Auto color enhance


Is there a way to do this, preferably adding buttons that will be easy to use.

Hi
I am brand new to GIMP and to this type of editing software generally.  I was doing a YouTube tutorial which was showing how to move the dockable dialog boxes around and I tried to move the layers box onto the desktop and it seems to go straight to the top left corner, covering even the red, green and yellow screen resizing buttons. 

I searched for a solution on the internet and found one from about year ago, saying it was a bug.  Im wondering if its a bug why it hasn't been fixed.  

I am running GIMP on MACOs Mojave.  

In the tutorial the layers box can simply be moved onto the desktop, no problem, but on my computer if I try to move any of the docks onto the desktop I end up with this problem.  


Has anyone else had this issue and if so is there a way to fix it so I can move my docks? Thank you in advance.
