Hey, guys! I'm new to Gimp - making the transition from Paint.net - and I need to find a tutorial on how to create images for the purposes of conveying information. Or maybe one of you can help me: I know how to add text to my images, but I want to underline the text and add a line from it to an area that I've encircled in the image. How do I do that? Thanks in advance!

I would like to manipulate a picture of a group of people in which one person is missing. I also have a picture of that missing person, scaled down to match the size .My problem now is to introduce the individual's head into the picture of the group such that the manipulation cannot be seen, i.e. I need to copy the contours of the individuals head into the group picture, cut it out and then copy the head as a new layer  into the picture of the group. Is that possible?
I hope I've described my problem clearly enough. Of course, I appreciate any suggestions to achieve my goal on another way. Thanks so much!

hello, i am new to this forum.  i just began to use the new Gimp v2.10.12 and i miss the c2g function i made use of for many years in v2.8.  where do i find Gegl's c2g ?

Does anybody have a updated version of the Script "Psychedelic rel 0.03" for Gimp 2.10? It's giving me an error "Error: eval: unbound variable: LINEAR".  I will appreciated if anybody can post here a Updated version for Gimp 2.10.

A lot of the how-to videos I have seen assume you know where they are getting this or that file to download or they say, "Take the file you just downloaded..." What file, where did it come from, etc".  Registry.gimp.org is no longer running but that is where a lot of these 'Help' sites send you.  Somebody, please, tell something usable, PLEASE.

Hello Smart People,

I really need help. I’m trying to recreate and tweak a pattern tile that I originally made using Illustrator and Photoshop. 

I saved all the AI files as svg’s before I ended my subscription with adobe. (All line drawings) They’ve been working well in Inkscape, I’ve also added new images I made using the pen tool in Inkscape, now the problems starts when I try to copy and paste to Gimp. They lose all transparency, both old and new drawings.
I’ve tried the normal cut and paste, paste as new layer, duplicate and paste (everything that can be found on google search). I tried opening the svg file in Gimp, I tried saving as a png and opening in Gimp. 

(I need them transparent so I can layer the images over each other)

I eventually selected and exported each individual line drawing as a png, then opened each as new layer in gimp, they are now transparent line drawings. But when I scale up the induvial drawings they get blurry, I’m guessing it’s because they are no longer vector lines, (which is why I tried to make them vectors in the first place). They were scaled to the right size that I need when I exported them in inkscape, but are very small on the canvas in gimp which is the same size) 
So either I need a solution to enable the png images to be scaled UP or figure out why my vectors aren’t copy and pasting into gimp as transparent.
I'm using windows 10, with 64 bit, and Gimp 2.10

(Please don’t suggest I redraw them in gimp because this is weeks and weeks of work, and need the pattern in the next couple of days) I’m not the most computer literate person, so please give very detailed instructions for solutions (I work best with pictures)
TIA for any advice and help.

I am just trying to find a setting that will allow me to paint with gradually darkening effects over each pass, while holding the mouse button down, and not having to keep clicking to increase the opacity/strength. Blender 3D calls this mode "accumulative strokes" I believe. Id like to lighten darkened areas and be able to evenly blend the strokes with the dodge/burn tool, starting with a very low strength and working its way higher. Thanks!

Considere this 400x300 image:

   

The common way to do this in gimp is :
- create a 800x600 layer (double size compared to image canvas)
- fill it with Filters > Render > Pattern > Checkerboard
- use the unified transform tool to rotate and translate the layer
- crop the layer to the image size

Now with GEGL graph:
- create a 400x300 layer
- run Filters > Generic > GEGL graph and copy paste the text below in the pipeline field

Same thing with smudge. Instead of actually smudging its just turning slightly gray more and more. Please help

I'm puzzled by the color difference between an exported jpeg (dull) and a png (bright) and hope someone can help me understand what is going on.

I'm maintaining a website and part of it is uploading images created from a (sRGB) psd file from the designer. I edit some text inside that psd and export it for uploading to the website.

The previously uploaded images from this psd by others are all png images (bright).

What I see happening is this:

1. On my monitor I see the colors as they should be and like the images on the website
   
2. Exporting the image in png is the same
   
3. Exporting the image as jpeg quality 100 gives the same result as the png when viewed in a color managed image viewer like Geeqie, but dull in the default Linux Mint image viewer which has no color management
   
4. Uploading the png is okay, same bright colors
   
5. Uploading the jpeg gives dull colors.
