Hi,

I'm band new to the forum.
I'm having a few issues with 2.10.8.

Opening files from within GIMP takes a very long time.  As in just opening the dialog boxes takes 60/90+.
I'm also having issues trying to get my XP Pen graphics tablet to work.  It's recognised but will not work in GIMP.  when i go to use it on the canvas nothing happens and then the mouse stops being able to paint.
I've followed every guide I can find but nothing seems to work.

Any tips?

PC is Ryzen 1800x, 16GB RAM Win10 x64

EDIT:
I forgot to mention that the slow running may be related to this searching for an A:\ bug that i've seen.  Unfortunately by BIOS has no option to disable the legacy floppy drive support.
Maybe similar to this?

ANOTHER EDIT:
This is a fresh win10 install.

I change the font size but once I begin to type the font goes back to 18pt font. I am using gimp 2.8

Hi guys, I'm new and this is my first post. I would like to remove the glasses glare from a picture using GIMP. I am a beginner in GIMP and I tried using the healing tool and cloning but neither seems to work well but I may be doing this wrong. I also have a similar picture where I don't have the glare as bad and I was trying to clone using this picture but it doesn't look natural. I have glasses glare in a lot of pictures so it'd be useful to know how to remove the glare for future use too.

Canon supplies software that can be used to edit photos produced by Canon cameras.  Since GIMP does not support the development of raw files this software performs a necessary function, even, for those of us who desire using GIMP for lots of our editing work.  This Canon software also provides some powerful printing capability that is quite lacking in GIMP.  However, it turns out that files created by GIMP in .tif format cannot be processed by the Canon software.

While I'm sure this is the kind of problem that temps everyone to want to blame the other guy, there is something amiss here.  When it comes to GIMP, I'm not aware of any other software that cannot handle the same files that Canon Digital Photography Professional (DPP) is having a problem with.  Whereas DPP is handling files produced by other programs such as Rawtherapee without any difficulty.  In the case of GIMP it doesn't seem to matter whether problem files are of 8 or 16 bit precision.

Any ideas on what is going on here?

Hi All,
I have watched the video on tracing I click on the paths button, I start my outline however nothing happens. I don't see any dots?  Am I missing something?  I am a newbie have have not used gimp that much,  I am sorry to be such a dummy but this is all new to me???  Can someone explain what I am doing wrong or give me a link to a tutorial that shows you step by step?  I only learn by doing so any explanation or video will help.  I greatly appreciate any help in this matter, ps I have gimp 2.10.8.

Thank you

Its for PS and AI, but you can use the included png's and convert them to a Gimp .pat file yourself.

I am new to GIMP but have worked out how to do most of what I need to do. Using v2.10 on OSX (Mavericks).

Using Tools/Transform/Rotate.

The menu appears and I can rotate by degrees by dragging the slider or using the Angle.
But everything I have seen on other posts suggests I should see the actual image itself rotate.

What I actually see is an outline of the image rotate - but it doesn't show me the picture rotating within it. i.e.., its difficult to see how much rotation I want when I can't see the image itself rotating.

When I press the ROTATE button, the orientation remains as it was but the image has rotated within it (hope this makes sense)


I am stupid I know - but it can't be that hard to rotate an image by degrees and see the results of the rotation on the image before I accept it...


I found this video: https://youtu.be/_-kkXAiKmKo

Its windows I know, but I don't see that behaviour.

If I use Image/Transform/Rotate then I only get the 90 degree presets

Please help a newbie...

I do not see a link to post a new thread in the GIMP 2.10. How do we post there?

I have to admit I'm struggling a bit with Gimp "two ten" as I like to call it; can't seem to get the hang of making and saving my own brushes. Nor am I liking all the new fly-out menus. I'd love to find shortcuts to get past many of them...

My current problem is the way a zero hardness brush loads paint on a canvas. I'm getting these blobs of pure saturation with little to no paint at the edges.  My goal is an even spread of paint with zero hardness. This brush looks more like 80% hardness or something.

I use an old trusty laptop with touchpad- no pen or tablet; 2gb of video ram with an integrated video card.

I'm pretty sure it's either a Gimp bug or more likely, my settings are wrong- would appreciate some correction and guidance.

I do know one thing for certain- Gimp has changed so much since 2.6 I have to relearn it. Well done dev chaps!

cheers
