I just reset my default new image size in Preferences to 1350 x 1350. That's a great size for experimenting with brush size, colors, etc. My current active image is 2400 x 1800. Immediately after changing that Preferences setting, I clicked to open a new image, and the listed size is 2400 x 1800. What am I missing about Preferences? Is that not a durable setting?

I am using an LG ultra HD monitor. I used the LG standard color setting for this model. 

Noted that the photo printout quality (Epson L360) is different than what I see on the monitor.

Like to know how can I set my monitor and printer such that the picture quality will be about the same as on my monitor, printed photos from my printer AND from photo studio.

I saw a device to calibrate the monitor before. Cost stops me from venturing that path. Any better cheaper way?

Many thanks.

Hi. I'm new and i would like to use GIMP to make realistic images look cartoon-like. The filters present don't quite cut it. GIMPressionist looks promising, but i can't find an option to give it a full-screen preview. Without one, i would have to open and close the window after every minor change or test.

Anybody who has experience with this and could help me out?

Example based on Scarlet Johansson:

I don't know what I changed, but now my EXPORT FILE as JPEG button appears where it normally appears... but that button won't do anything. Instead I have to move a few windows out of the way to find a "duplicate" EXPORT FILE as JPEG button which does work.  The problem is minor but annoying.  I'm sure you all know an easy fix.

Hello,
I use GIMP in a fairly limited way, but one item that I use all the time and would like to code into a few macros is the "Path from text" option.  I can't seem to find anywhere in GIMP where there is a shortcut for this, and am having difficulty creating my own.  

I tried creating a shortcut by enabling dynamic keyboard shortcuts in the interface section of the preferences and using ctrl + alt + p while hovering over the option, but it doesn't seem to allow creating shortcuts this way for items in the right click menu.  I also can't find the "path from text" option in the "configure keyboard shortcuts" menu.

Is this just not an option, or am I missing something ridiculously simple?

I'm trying to take an image of straight roadway and place a 90 curve in it. I figured out how to get any other curve but 90 deg doesn't look right. Any suggestions? The image will be part of a diorama layout.

Looking for the best way to resize an avatar for a website that won't result in any loss of quality (if possible). 

So far from playing around I've found 3 ways to do this.

a.) Drag and drop the image into GIMP > Image > Scale Image > Set Width & Height. (This makes the image look blurry even though I'm only reducing it by 50 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall. 

b.) Drag and drop the image into GIMP > Image > Canvas Size > Set Width & Height > Use the move tool in the canvas size window to move the image around until I've found the right spot > Click Resize. This looks much better than a.)

c.) New > Set Width & Height > Drag & Drop Image > Use Move Tool To Reposition Image. Looks clearer than a.) as well. 

So is option b.) and c.) the best way to do this absent loosing any image detail? 

Thanks.

Maybe some kinda sharpen filter will make images look cleaner / sharper afterward?

Hi There,

After having scanned despairately the net to find a simple solution (and found out this place from 
http://gimp-tools.sourceforge.net/index.shtml and previously https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-tools/)

I am asking help for this problem I have: a solution to remove the background of 300 dresses. 

Here are the specs
- in jpg 
- the background is not evenly white unfortunaltely

I did not find any script doing it even roughly on the net (did I miss something after 4h of search ???)

I have implemented Bimp but am blocked by not being able in Bimp to create a alpha channel from a jpg photo.

➤ Has anybody the procedure on Bimp ?
➤ or a beautiful script?

Thanks for your help !

Chris

Hi I have two questions here

1. Is there any plugins in which I can batch remove EXIF, resize, and watermark the images?

2. If there isn't one for everything, is there any plugin in which I can at least, batch remove EXIF ?

Yes I know there are third party programs but I just wish to be done inside GIMP to be more 
convenient.

Any advice?

I made an earlier post on how my templates were disappearing.

After hours of frustration and copying and pasting I have come to a dead end. I copied and pasted a template arc's contents with all the old resolutions into the new one however it says this.



I installed gimp onto another laptop and it works fine
