The color profiles for paper to be used when printing are available to GIMP.  It seems that when editing an image it should be possible to choose (?color picker) a color that corresponds to photo paper that could end up being used to print the subject image.  How can that be done?

I should admit I try to use gimp since only 2 weeks because I was interested by the new version (2.10.10) and, I tried before (2.6) but was discouradged. :-)
Usually I use other win App, because seems more intuitive to me, but I decided to retry this new version.

So my question will be simple and related to layers:

I have an image, map of a building, and just try create with layers an editable objet with a round colored circle with a colored border + an text (number) in it.

To create the backgroup, colored circle, no problem I create 2 (transparent) layers circles of different size, then "flat" them in one layers, then Crop to the desired size.
Then I add (with the text tool) then umber '1' just above, and I group the layer + text (object ? layer ?) to keep them
I can move this 'object'

As the goal is to have same objet multiplied to have number 1, 2, 3 etc...on different location of the plan, I use the function Clone layers. Clone seem to be ok, I can see the cloned objet.
But the problem is that I am unable to move the cloned "numbers" as they seem to be "attached" in some way, I y move them or all move or I can both linked by some square and only one visible at a time ??

I do not want to flat each of them because they are subjet to change in the future. so keeping sources should allow me to "edit" my image any time and change what I want.

I suppose Gimp has its onw way of working that I do not understand, as I can do this kind of thing (clone, copy [on another image or not] multiply, move [individual layers or grouped]  etc) in just 3 easy mouse clicks and 4 minutes in an old app like fe: firework 10 years old version.

So what is wrong (from me) in Gimp way of working to do such easy base work ?

Any help welcome.
Thank you

Hello, I was following the tutorial section (https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/) and I clicked on "making a circle-shaped image" and it was nowhere to be found (https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/%7Bfilena...e/index.md). 

Any help as to where I can find the tutorial is appreciated.

Ubuntu 18.04 installed on laptop. Gimp from otto-kesselgulasch. Installed G'MIC - does not appear in menu.

Starting Gimp from terminal error message:
"/home/david/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/gmic_gimp_qt: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.10' not found (required by /home/david/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/gmic_gimp_qt"

I compared the libQt5 files of my desktop with those on the laptop and installed the missing ones using Synaptic. Still no G'MIC and the same error message.

Curiously, if I start Gimp from the terminal on the desktop, I get the identical error message but G'MIC works!!!

Any help and advice gratefully received.

I've added the 'Wavelet Denoise' filter successfully to my 2.10.8 version (dropping it in '~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/') However, after updating to 2.10.10, the 2.10.8 version works as before, while the new one does not recognize the filter.

Did the plug-ins library place change?

Ant help in understanding this problem will be greatly appreciated.

Hi. This is my latest creation. I used Gimp 2.10.10 to do this. Do you like it? 

Hidden Filters

After searching for the Erase Every Other Row filter in Filters - Distorts and did not find it, I searched for it using the Help - Plug - in Browser, but did not find it again.

However, for stubbornness, I checked the shortcut by the "/" key and typed the initial part of the filter name (Erase) and voila! I found it.

• Would you like to make this filter re-appear in the menu list (Filters - Distorts- Erase Every Other Row)?
  

• How do I know which other filters don't appear in the menus but are still active in Gimp?
  

I'm fairly new to GIMP and have version 2.10.10. When trying to add a drop shadow to an image there is no check box for "Allow resizing" like it used to have on previous versions and as shown in the help file. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Complete newbie here - so hello to all and please be patient with me.

I've followed some guides to remove the background from portraits starting with, opening it in gimp 2.10, adding an alpha channel and then duplicating the layer.

Several hours and saves later(!), I realised that the original image had various brush strokes on it which I did without realising. If I use the eraser, it removes all the image layers, not just the paint. Hope this all makes sense.

Is there a way to return the original image back to how it was, without the brush-strokes?

With luck, it's just something simple... Thank you.

i have downloaded and installed version 2.10.10 and works fine.  i then downloaded and installed english help manual and it wont load.  see attached photo for error.
