Hello everyone, 
I'm a total gimp newbie! I've been struggling for days with removing a dark background because there's not contrast between it and the subject's hair (dark brown hair on black background). I would like to know if there's hope of extracting the background from this image without losing some of the hair details. 
Thank you very much.

Hello!

Guys how to get a shadow effect like in the picture below? 
Of course in GIMP, i have 2.10.12 version

I noticed that some fonts that used to be okay are no longer displaying properly and sometimes when I select a font, any font including the 3 listed below, they just don't work. I'm using 2.10.12.
Bitstream
Century Schoolbook
Courier 

are the one I notice. they display with binaries? e.g. the word 'cot' in CS is written 0063,006F, 0074.

All those fonts are fine when I open other apps like Libre Office.

How can I resolve this, please?

Hi,

i was asked to color a B&W drawing of art, this to be exact.

   

Do I need to make multiple layers of this image to get the fill tool to make the bucket grey, wheel white stone, and the frame shades of wooden brown?

How do I go about colorizing something like this?

Are there any GIMP plugins that are games or can be used to play games? I can't find any mentions of any such GIMP plugins anywhere. No, I'm not talking about GIMP being used for making graphics for games. I'm actually talking about actual interactive gaming via GIMP plugins.

Hi 
Is this possible to create a web page with GIMP?
Is it possible to add html links?
Is it possible to convert the file into a PDF?

Thanks

Yeah.. how do i get it stay in inches?  I did a whole project except one small part and shut down for the night, next day opened it and while i was looking at it to remember what i wanted to do last, i zoomed in and saw the one bit was not in alignment, and as i started to move it, i saw the everything was off.  But then i realized it wasnt in inches anymore.  Making it difficult to size, for me.  ok, so i couldnt see anyway to get it back to inches,and just gave up in frustration. since it was completed.  I saved it and exported to png.  Well i just opened it my other really odd graphics software like b efore xp? lol i think? anyway, it was there, but instead of being 11 inches wide it was only 5.5 inches wide.  yeah.  I enlarged it and saved it aging. it looks fine other than that.

Now i just opened another project to find the same thing. its not in inches any longer. i was almost done with this one too.  ok how on earth do i make gimp stop playing around with my files and dimensions?  I know its probably something im doing, but all i do is 'save' and open recent.....thank you

I just opened this last one int he other software, photo draw, and yeah, same thing, gimp is saving these as half sized why? i have to say, my experience with gimp interface etc is not encouraging me to love gimp.  Which i had always loved it before, er long ago...years ago lol.  always like it more than photoshop.. cant rem why though now.  ok.. so 

HOW DO YOU GET THE FILE TO STAY THE SAME SIZE YOU CREATED IT?  I MEAN REALLY, LOL.  HAHAHA  THANK YOU

I've just installed the wavelets denoise filter and find it in the Gimp 2.10.12 menu (windows 10) but there seems to be an error because the denoise display is not as it should be.
- plugin files :
   
- display on Gimp screen :
   
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
