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.

How do I mark a thread "solved"?

I have looked on the preference settings and there isnt anyplace to set the saved files to a different location.  So every time i open and us gimp and save a new file i have to remember to change the set location to my location.  I am the only one who used this computer, and i have all my files going i C:, not in users etc.  

So what happens is i forget, and end up with files in both locations.  yeah.. ok thanks

I wish to draw a rotated ellipse, on top of the picture of a wrist, as shown below.
I am able to figure out how to draw an ellipse and rotate it, but the inner area
of the ellipse is white and would hide the hand.

Below is an illustration of what I want,it's hand-drawn, but I need a perfect 
rotate ellipse.

Please step by step or highlight the key step for me and I figure out the details, I am so frustrated as an amateur beginner of GIMP

Hello

Is there any way to convert a gradient area to layers or levels of fewer colors like sample picture?

Thank you

I am using Gimp 2.8.10 on Xubuntu. Been working on drawings regarding a garage I'm building. Drawing a lot of straight lines by using the shift key. It's been working fine for days. I don't know what I did but now It puts a mild sawtooth pattern on every line. I've read everything I could find with Google but found nothing. Please help and thank you in advance.

BTW: Been using Gimp for years for all sorts of stuff. Great software! This is the first major problem I've had and of course it happened when I'm in a hurry.

I’m using Gimp 2.10.10 in Windows 10.

Now the last version is 2.10.12,so I have to update.

I’m a beginner and would like to enrich Gimp with “Resynthesizer” and watercolor brushes,for example.

Can anyone tell me where I can find extensions for Gimp? with some descriptions, because
I did several searches but I didn’t find much

I read that "Registry" existed long ago, but it no longer exists.

I found G'MIC, but I don't know what it contains.

Someone recommended Partha's version to me, but I don’t know what it contains and I read the "Installation instructions" and I have doubts.

For example:

1. Do I need to uninstall the .10 version before installing the latest .12?
   
2. The computer can ask me for the administrator's password, I don't know where to find it
   
3. Delete all the Gimp references from the registry, I don't know how to do
   
4. Use Windows to associate this version with the desired image formats, I wouldn't know how to do it.
