Every time I make any selection and add layer mask from selection with inversion I get vertical banding in whole mask. This was apearing after upgrade from 2.10.8 to 2.10.10 win 64bit
Is it bug or it is in just my settings?

After using a tool, how do I make the tool go away and get the regular pointer back?

1.) Is there no shapes or arrows built-in like there is for Windows Paint? I guess if not, I have to draw them or find a .png of these shapes/arrows and import/resize?
Seems kinda strange not to have this built-in functionality.


2.) How the heck do you install fonts? 


I downloaded "Bebas Neue" from dafont and dropped the Bebas Neue.otf file into: C > Windows > Fonts, and it shows up in Paint, but not in GIMP. I then removed it from that directory and double-clicked the file and hit "Install" and restarted GIMP, but It's still not showing up in GIMP either via search or manual scroll. I've tried to follow the GIMP user-manual which seems to be out-of-date. There's no "personal" folder in GIMP that I'm aware of, and there's no "fonts" folder in Edit > Preferences > Folders. 

Really, why is it so damn hard to get even the basics done with GIMP? I shouldn't have to spend a few hours figuring out how to install a font when it works instantly with POS Paint.

I'm using Gimp 2.8/64 on win7 [soon to be win10] and I'm a little baffled about what should be a simple path problem.   Simplified, what I'd like to do with the path tool is draw something like this;
                  ----------------------------------
                 |                 |                       |
                 |                 |                       |             

                 |                 |                       |
                  ----------------------------------
                  |                 |  
                  |                 |
                  |                 |
                   ---------------

After I do the first square I can't figure out to make a "connecting" path for the two side squares [so that each is a region I can color
and will stroke properly.

How can I make two or three or more "connected" closed paths.   Thanks

I'm working on a complex project that involves using a long list of brush settings for different sections. Since I'm keeping parts separated into thirty some layers and counting, I've resorted to entering relevant brush settings in a text document so I can redo sections or replicate. Is there a way to create a palette of brush settings within a GIMP file? It's tedious and time consuming to redo opacity, size, hardness and sometimes spacing each time I switch layers!

Hey there, as the title suggests, I can't click templates. Which is weird because it was working fine last time I used it (yesterday).


Now? I get this:

I downloaded 2.10.10 and started to install, hoping it will thaw a frozen file. When I saw the message that's it's a developer version, I stopped. The web page said it's stable, but the download link didn't work, so following instructions for links that don't work, I downloaded from https://download.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.10/windows/.

THAT IS NOT THE SAME FILE AS THE ONE ON THE MAIN DOWNLOAD PAGE.

Fortunately, the download link is working again, though it's going to take over an hour to finish. Obviously lots of us are excited about this and rushing to get it on board. 

I have an old primary school class black and white photo which I would like to convert to colour.

It will be great for my whole class to see the good old day in colour!

How can I select a colour A (shirt) and then change all images with colour A to another colour?

Any other tips on B & W conversion to colour will be most welcome.

P/S Tried one apps to convert B&W to colour. Result is disappointing, not much change in the colouring.

Is there any link for download GIMP Installer with Resynthesizer for MAC?

Appreciate if someone could share the light.

Any version of GIMP is ok as long as the Rsynthesizer is working
