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.

https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Can-t-click-Template


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

Hi,

I have a tower and a laptop. Both on Win10, Gimp 2.10.10, and with a Frequency separation script (SS-Split-Components_v1-0.scm by Mike Ochtman)
On the laptop the script stops at the gaussian blur to let choosing the blur level.,But on the tower the script don't stop.

As I understand from that line, it's supposed to show the blur display.

I’d like to adjust the colour tone of all the aquamarine green armour plates in the top photo to the more luminous yellow-green colour in the second bottom photo. I’d like to preserve the light to dark shading in the green areas in the top photo and to leave the other colours as is. Is it possible to do this with Gimp on Windows and how please?

They’re model wargaming models and I’m thinking of painting up my collection using the nicer new models from the top photo (they come in grey plastic) but the original 1980s yellowy-green colour the faction had. I’d like to test how it might look before deciding which to go for I as could spend £20 or so on specific paints for either green. Thanks!

   

   

I'm having an issue with having a layer force transparency to a below layer. For example, I'm trying to fix the edges on a Pokemon card to have transparency. But the card has a range of colors so how would I fix this issue? https://imgur.com/E2LCp9y  

Hi there.

I have a PNG with transparent background.

I want to upload iinto GIMP.

I want to then overlay a speech bubble.

I want to then cut out whatever is in that speech bubble, and export that ... so that l have nothing that was outside of the speech bubble in the exported image.

Best l've been able to do so far merely cuts out a silhouette of whatever was in the speech bubble, minus any colours or anything like that.

All l want is a speech bubble containing a picture, that l can then paste into other larger pictures.



Seriously considering a physical paper and scissors solution right now. GIMP seems able to do anything but this. FWIW l don't for a moment think it'd be straightforward on any other art program made after 1999, when the world got unnecessarily complex for no reason!

Hey all, so there's something that I've always done a LOT in photoshop for many of my youtube thumbnails, and blog images etc. 

I'll often get an image that I Want to extend the width of without changing the pespective. 

So I'd increase the canvas width on one side of the image, then highlight that empty region, then use content aware fill. 

Like in this image: https://imgur.com/a/vjNp36d

But I can't use resynthesizer for this purpose - it seems only useful for remving an object from an image, not filling in an empty space based on its surroundings. 

Any ideas on this?

I was writing a python script to apply a filter to all layers in an image. When I went to try and add selective gaussian blur(took me a while to figure out that's a surface blur in GIMP) I could not find a way to do it. Doing some searching it seems the G stands for GEGL. Trying to use GEGL operation from tools menu the corresponding or similar/equivalent filter seems to be "bilateral filter". Intuitively it feels like I should be able to use any filter as long as I provide parameters with python-fu, but I guess not. Is there really no way to use these filters from python-fu? 

just fyi, I'm a beginner to GIMP, and a bit familiar with python.
