i'm running gimp 2.10.6 on windows 10. I'm new to the whole concept plug-ins but am trying to use the python plug-in for the "heal selection" tool. I have followed the instructions, and videos on how to install everything, but am still not getting GIMP to find the files. This is the error message i'm getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\32\lib\gimp\2.0\python/gimpfu.py", line 740, in response
    dialog.res = run_script(params)

    return apply(function, params)

error: procedure not found

Any ideas of what i'm doing wrong? or suggestions on how to fix this?
thanks everyone!

Hi,

I am using flatpak 2.10 in Linux Mint 18.3.

My image size that crashes Gimp is around 1.9Gb.  My images are scans from large format photographs.   I scan at 4800 dpi and full 16-bits per channel.  I can scan images from the 3 common film sizes of 4x5 inches, 5x7 inches and 8x10 inches.  I am using a commonly available scanner, an Epson v700.  There is nothing terribly unusual about my setup.  I use Vuescan but can use other scanning software.

I am trying to show that I am not a completely unusual customer.

My 1.9Gb photo results in massive memory usage on disk by Gimp such that I had to re-install my OS onto a larger disk.  I was using a 120Gb SSD but now have shifted to a spin drive instead.  When I tried to do something simple like level shifting Gimp was using somewhere just less than 40Gb on disk ...

The Gimp program is extremely slow to do something like show a histogram at these image sizes.  My problem is 1.9Gb is a small image !  An 8x10 is around 11.2Gb potentially.

Recently, I tried Affinity Photo.  It loads my images almost instantly and any manipulations are smooth and perfectly quick.  It also has no limitations to image size well beyond the 8x10 size (according to a moderator on their forum).

Affinity Photo is not able to use my Nik software plugins so I am not feeling like switching to them yet.  Also I would like to never use a Windows machine again in my life.

I have waited for Gimp to be a serious competitor to Photoshop for years ... make that decades ...

Any idea when these issues will be just a bad memory ?  (given that it has taken something like 15 years to get to 16bits per channel)

I would pay for Gimp.  I do not believe that software needs to be free of monetary cost but I do believe in open source for security reasons.

I would donate images to developers if they didn't have any of this kind of size.

Cheers to you all.

Wait a few of days (or more) in case of more obvious bugs before updating:

Greetings all,

I am a veteran programmer, but new to scripting for GIMP. I've hit a roadblock that had me legit stumped, so I'm looking for someone with expertise in the domain.

The python console in GIMP works just fine and other python scripts that ship with GIMP (e.g., foggify.py) work as expected, but I have not been able to even get a Hello World python-fu script to run. (This is a fresh install of GIMP 2.10 on Windows 10.) I've exhausted every reference, tutorial and troubleshooting guide I can find, and apparently I'm still missing something.

Notably, I can copy foggify.py, change all relevant instances of "fog*" to "dog*", save it in the same directory as doggify.py, and it is not recognized by GIMP. However, I can make changes to foggify.py (e.g., change the menu text from "_Fog..." to "_Frogs..." and that IS recognized by GIMP. Apparently I'm missing some aspect of registration.

Attached is a .zip of C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\foggify, including a text file with the output of a --verbose startup.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Hello,

I've got an image with a black background, and the rest of the image is a variety of colors.

Is it possible (and how, if so) to change everything NOT black to another color...say, white...automatically?

Thanks.

Hi, I am a new user to Gimp because my wife spoke to someone in her art group who said Gimp 2 could be used to add snow to a photo or scanned artwork.


I have looked around Gimp (there's a lot in it!) and cannot find any suggestion to do what she suggests. I have done some tutorials, all very interesting but not addresses what she wants to do.

Is she barking up the wrong tree?
Many thanks, Brian

Hi!
Below I'm attaching two pictures: the first one is a silhouette-like portrait of Marilyn Monroe, the other one is a regular photo.
I've tried to convert that photo to silhouette using treshold or photocopy filter, but I'm not satisfied with the results.
Could anyone give me a hand about this? I'm quite new with Gimp. I'm using 2.10.
Thanks in advance!
   
   

Hello
i want cut head i know how but also background 

i want just head and keep background same image

I just downloaded GAIP and GIMP help and have done the install thing for both.  No matter what I do I am unable to open them.  All it wants to do is the set up thing again.
Any help is appreciated.

I have a digital drawing of a person whose top part of her hair + left shoulder is partially cut off, as shown:

How do I "uncrop" the image by making gimp restore the parts that got seemingly "cropped" off the picture?

I tried brute-forcing it by using the clone tool + heal tool, with limited success:

Notes:
Heal Selection (from Synthesiser) doesn't work well, probably because it has nothing to sample from the top of the part I need restoring
Uncrop (from Synthesiser) doesn't work at all, it just adds a transparent border around my image
