Hi, I recently bought a new Macbook and I'm trying to cross over from Windows. I will like to learn how to Install Gimp 2.10.12 in my new Laptop. Can anybody can explain or point me to any good website or video?  Any help will be appreciated.
By the way my OS version is Mojave. 10.14.2. Thank you in advance.

A new release of the Batch Image Manipulation (BIMP) plugin. Strictly for Gimp 2.10 

The homepage is https://alessandrofrancesconi.it/projects/bimp/ 
and the changelog https://github.com/alessandrofrancesconi...ANGELOG.md

Not many changes for the average user, BIMP can now export heif and webp formats.

Windows users can download an installer from the homepage.

Linux users, a 64 bit version attached. Should work with 'buntu / Mint Gimp 2.10 installations. 
The usual, unzip put the file  bimp-2.2 in ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins and check that it is still executable.

Hi there,

i'm using the latest gimp 2.10.12 on a W10 64bits machine with a GTX 1060 and i5 8300H, 12GB RAM.
Problem being, GIMP is extremely slow. Like, i'm editing a 10x10 pixels images (with a color palette on it) and the simple fact of appling a transparent layer takes several seconds to do. Creating a new one as well. Sometimes pasting an image in an other (like a 300x250 image) takes forever to do.
I tried reinstalling Gimp 3 times and yet still happens. 

Anyone has an idea ?

Hello there,

in GIMP 2.8 it was easily possible to export images as true 1 bit PNG files with binary Alpha: You simply create a small transparent image, draw a few black pixels onto it, and turn it into indexed mode image ("black & white palette", 1 bit). Gimp 2.8 correctly recognizes this as an image with 1 color only and when exported as PNG (I always uncheck all export options), it is saved as 1 bit PNG (with transparent & black as the only available colors in the palette, because no white is used).

Whereas in GIMP 2.10, when I repeat exactly the same steps, it always turns out to be a 2 bit image (transparent + black + white), although no white pixel is set anywhere in the image. It seems it refuses to reduce the image into 1 BPP palette, because it insists to have at least black & white, and thus won't allow me to export transparent 1 bit PNGs at all.

Is there anything that I have to configure to allow me to use this GIMP 2.8 feature again? It may seem like no big deal to anyone else, but this is a drawback for me, which keeps me stuck with GIMP 2.8 once again.

Maybe some expert can help with this issue.
Thanks in advance.

I get the following message when I try to open 'help'. I've reinstalled Gimp but it still happens. What can I do?

Plug-in crashed: "help-browser.exe"

I'm running Mint 19.2 Cinnamon. I have installed Rawtherapee 5.6 (appimage), DarkTable (2.6.2) and GIMP 2.10.12 (flatpack), in that order. In Rawtherapee preferences, the external editor is set to GIMP. If I try to invoke the external editor it fails with a message asking me to set the correct path in Rawtherapee preferences. I assume this mean setting the path to GIMP but there is no data entry 'box' in preferences where I can set a path. Furthermore I don't know what the path to GIMP is or how to find it. Any advice?

GIMP documentation says that if I attempt to open a raw image in GIMP, it will automatically invoke Rawtherapee. When I try to do this GIMP tells me that no raw image processor is installed and invites me to install either DarkTable or Rawtherapee. Why can't GIMP detect that both of these are already installed?

Specifically this is regarding textures for game development in unity. So having an alpha channel that is editable separate from the RGB channels is important to keep my workflow & iteration moving quickly.
As example, we'll say the image has 6 layers in two layer groups.
I have a grayscale image of what I currently want my alpha to be but I need it applied to the entire image, not an individual layer.
I can't apply it as a mask to a layer group.
I could apply the same mask to every layer but that's a hell of a lot of work every time I need to make a change to the alpha.
Basically the only way I know of to apply the alpha without effecting, or being effected by the RGB is to export, open the exported file, decompose it, copy and past the alpha in, then recompose.
Is there not some way to work with the alpha within the one xcf?

When one make a photo or a copy from a book, mostely the photographed page is curved. This is also the case when one take photo from a bended poster or paper on a wall where the result is mostly a large flat s-formed image. An panorama photo that is taken by a camera can have also an s-curved hurizon. Is there a possibility in Gimp to correct such a disortions? One can use the filters/disort/bend curve, but that is not precise enough. I know there exist a photoshop plugin Altostorm panorama corrector that can do the job by creating on or two curves that can solve this problem but I can't find something like this in Gimp. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

I am a new user to gimp and photo editing and have a number of b/w mugshot images to clean up.
A lot of them have glare through them as in attached image.
Can someone point me to a step by step guide (video preferably) of the best way to repair the glare areas.
Speed and simplicity are more important than perfection for the editing process.

I have been playing around in gimp for a couple of days and have a basic understanding of
the various tools and how layers work but the amount of options are a bit overwhelming for a novice.
