Hi guys, sorry if my question is answered somewhere but I can't find the solution and I've encountered this problem twice on two separate machines. Re-booting and re-installing does nothing, it's as if once I encounter this problem, my computer refuses to work with GIMP anymore.

Anyway, to the problem. I use GIMP for Photo Editing, I just got GIMP installed on my newly delivered Windows 10  laptop. After a few hours, none of the tools in the color drop down will do anything. I encountered a similar problem about a year ago on a completely different machine, where nothing will seem to work. I can draw, it seems I can use the main tools on the left, but none of the tools I require work. I'm so fed up and tired of encountering this problem, a problem that literally nobody else on the internet seems to have encountered. So can someone please explain what is happening, because the last time this happened I gave up and didnt use GIMP on that machine again, I dont want to have to pay Adobe. The screenshot of what it looks like is attached, have a look at what's wrong.

Dear community!

I'm using GIMP 2.10 and I've got a question.
Therefore, I uploaded a picture below.
My plan is to make the shown letter "O" more bold than it is to a custom thickness.
How can I do this, so that it gets regularly bolder?

For an angled letter like "E" this was very easy, but how can I do this with a round letter?



I'm looking forward to hearing from you and would be very thankful for every hint!

Kind regards,

First installed the GIMP 2.10.12 and preserved EXIF through post-production.
Now suddenly it scrubs the EXIF.


I don't remember chaging any setup on camera or in software.

Any help in trying to rectify the situation will be appreciated.

Checked - It happens between opening a jpg and exporting it (without doing anything to the image).

Hello everyone,

I have been trying to imitate this image. So far I have created this but I am still not satisfied with the results. I have cloud brushes installed but I feel like this requires more tools to be used. I do not know what other tools or in what order to use them. So far I have been using brush and smudge and adjusting opacity, hardness, size and toughness. I also want to have this ''misty/foggy'' background behind clouds.

How can I achieve best results like in the first image? What steps do I need to follow?

I download the LiquidRescale plugin for windows (user windows 10, 64 bit , gimp 2.1012) and I get a display that is missing some items.
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.
   

Hi everybody,
I use GIMP since very early versions and I love it.

I have an issue between Gimp and the Linux File System (ext4).

In my home I have a folder symbolic-linked to an other folder outside the home. I have set the privilege as rw:rw:r and I'm the owner. When I open a file form that directory Gimp says that can't open it because it can't read it. If I open it with an other software like inkscape or gThumb for instance, it works just fine.

Anyone as any idea?

Thank you anyhow

Hi all,

I am trying to get some highlights/shadows going on around this arch on my doorway, similar to what I have on the trim you see above.  I am not finding any simple way to do it, and in fact with every way I have tried I've ended up running into roadblocks.  Can anyone recommend the best, easiest, or most straightforward way to do this?

Perhap someone more adept at GIMP can shed some light on a little problem.  I am doing the "text along a curve" thing, but soon get stopped in my track (or curve?)  When I click on  "text along path", the text gets obliterated  by a bunch of  "air bubbles" as you can see in the attachment.  Why do I get this and how can I prevent it happening?

Is it possible to make someone look wet in GIMP if you add rain into a background?

Hi to everyone, i'm new to this forum and relatively new to the world of graphic manipulation.

I know this subject has been treated many times (in fact, i think i read all of the post about this very same problem), but still i can't make it work for me. And yes, i know also that probably i read the solution many times, but at this point i'm not able to understand it.

I'm aware that when i resize a rasterized image i get some degradation but:

1)Since i switched to V2.10 this got more and more noticeable. I mean, A LOT.

2)I have to create some banners and facebook image with my logo (wich i don't have anymore as vectors). I rebuild it from scratch with inkscape, but for whatever reason, in any format i try to import it into my gimp project, as soon as i scale it down, it becomes a tornado of pixels.

Thanks to everyone for your patience, end excuse my english.
