Hi 

I've checked all over the net and just can't find anything that works for me.

I make resin jewellery and specifically rings. I make them in several different colours.

I would like to take a picture of someone wearing a ring (a close up of the hand) and change their nail colour to the colour of the ring (one for each colour ring). I need to keep the result looking realistic i.e. shiny like it's proper nail varnish. I'm thinking that will mean messing about with the hue/saturation? I've tried but am not that proficient so maybe the settings are incorrect. I've tried searching for tutorials but can't find anything for the 2.10 version of Gimp.

Could anyone talk me through it or point me in the right direction with settings and things? 

That would be really helpful and much appreciated! x

PS My operating system is Windows 10

Hi, i was wondering what's the issue with the quality of the brushes while painting on different layers and painting with white. I'm still using Gimp 2.8, but I've also installed a portable version of 2.10, because it's easier to switch between the two in that way. I have tried out the newest original version, and the same issues occur there as well.

When you create a new transparent layer, and you paint with the Paintbrush Tool, there is a difference in painting comparing to a layer with the full (let's say white) background. Brush strokes seem to be more indexed-like, with reduced dithering on the edges. Examples bellow, one on the left is on the layer with a white fill and one on the right is on a new transparent layer:







Especially, when you lower the opacity and you want to build up a volume of a shade, it just looks horrific when it's indexed out.

Second problem is with using the white color. White is always indexed and non-dithered in comparison to black, no matter the situation. Also, far more stronger, especially if you are shading with lower opacity. It takes for black way too longer to build up volume, while white is strong at even 1% of opacity. Here are some examples of the white:





And here it is in the interaction with the black, you can see the difference in the dither:





These are all default 25 or 50 hardness brushes, all new options are left untouched. Needless to say, all of these issues are non-existent in 2.8, and I have no complaint to the quality of the brushes there. It's not just with the Paintbrush that this occurs, but also with the others including the Eraser Tool.

So is this something that happens with anyone else or is it just me? I'm using Windows 10 and all of my drivers are up to date. If this is suppose to be a normal change, then I have to say that it is a major setback comparing to the 2.8 and I can't understand why was this downgrade necessary for something that worked almost flawlessly.

I have another issue when it comes to the white color, and that is when you want to remove it in Color to Alpha option, where the removal is way too strong and out of proportion, but I've managed to 'fix' that by changing layers to Legacy. I might start a thread just for that issue in the future.

So, I don't know is it just me or does anyone else have these issues? As I've already said, these are non-existent in 2.8, and that is the reason (among some other) why I still can't completely shift to 2.10. Quality is just reduced while painting and/or shading.

Thanks.

Using Gimp 2.10 on a Mac.


When I copy a selection of an image and then paste it as a new layer, it's not visible when it's not over the original image. See, for example, this:

what must i do? Even if I increase the canvas size, it still doesn't appear

Using Gimp 2.10 on Mac.

How can I remove the black background in this image? I want it to be transparent.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/t0ku...s.png?dl=0


In my Colors menu, the "Color to Alpha" option is not selectable.
I tried Bucket tool, Color Erase, but that doesn't seem to work. I'm such a rookie.

I've never installed a plugin before and the videos I have seen for it all are over 3 years old and do not have the folder layout or explain how to get GAP to work with Gimp.  I have searched a bit here and I'm either not typing in the right criteria or not searching hard enough.

GAP is installed but I seem to need to get the folders and files into the GIMP one.   Thank you for any help and glad to be here.

I am using:

Windows 7
Gimp 2.10.6
GAP 4.9.3

hi
I have a figure on a white background...

is there any easy way to superimpose that on another pic ?

The only way I know is to use lasoo but it will be a little
difficult as part of the image is a cigarette holder etc.

thanks for any comment or advice

Is it possible to chose bold text with a toggle button so I don't have to click on bold every time I type a new text in the same picture? Thanks in advance. Gimp 2.10.6 / windows 10

Hello,

Sometimes I have colors issue like that, most of time it happens when I have a lot of image opened and I must not save the image if not it will save with the bugs.



And unfortunately for this image I have saved with theses colors issues.

Is there anything I can do to get back the image without the squares ?

Thanks,
Vincent.
Gimp 2.10.x

Hi! I'm new to this forum so I appologise if I've put this in the wrong place... ^-^;

I recently updated to 2.10.6 and I realised that some tools aren't on the toolbar anymore. However, they also won't show up in the toolbar preference menu, tools I use a lot like:  Hue-Saturation,  Colorize and  Posterize.

Is there any way to add these back into the toolbar? It seems weird that they wouldn't even be options anymore and is a little inconvinient... 
Thanks in advance! -Kloe♥
