I got Gimp 2.10.8 installed and running on my 'Windows Subsystem for Linux' on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, starts very quickly which is a welcome change to the normal Windows waiting experience, however I can't seem to add any plug-ins, palettes, brushes etc etc to the setup.. 
I put them in 'home/zero01/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins (../palettes ../brushes)' etc  but to no avail - does anybody have any information on this? maybe a command-line (bash) fix? 
I managed to get gmic up and running with 'sudo apt-get install gimp-gmic'.
Thanks.

Wherebe be my 100px X 100px avatar I uploaded manbe? It's not showing up

... or do you just have to attach a file?

UPDATE: Disregard. I figured it out. It's BBC code ([img]photo link here[/img])

Let say I want to have a folder containing my plugin. As I understand, GIMP only looks for plugins file named as the folder. For example, this works ok:

I just downloaded GIMP 2.10.8 on Feb. 23rd.  I am on Win 7 32-bit. Home desktop PC.

When I try to open a file from either my desktop c\ drive or a thumb drive, GIMP does not recognize any file type. I have tried TIFFs, JPEGs and PNGs.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling GIMP, but this did not help.


Thanks for any advice.

I have a svg file of a magnifying glass.  I want to place the image of the shark inside the magnifying glass.  What's the easiest way to do it?

I've tried to break it into layers, but it looks like that is for flat pictures with a few colors.  The magnifying glass I have is more realistic and I would like to keep it that way.

Thanks for your help.

An earlier post asked about using the old GAP package, problems with that and also the included morph plugin.

As a trial, the whole of the old-and-flakey GAP package is not needed, the morph plugin on its own works fine.

There are any number of howto's/tutorials on the internet for using GAP, if you are into animation, go for those.

Morphing 2 images together can be a bit of fun, so I have attached for Windows users (linux users look in your distro GAP package) 
gap_morph.exe which provides the morphing interface
export-jpg.py which just exports all the layers to separate files if you want to make a video (plugin thanks to Kevin)

Unzip and put in your Gimp user profile plugins folder C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins

You might just want a gif animation but often a video is both better quality and a much smaller file size.

Some hints on making a video. Plenty of video editor/tools around. I suggest Avidemux http://avidemux.sourceforge.net/

...and...the inevitable video about the whole thing

Hi All,

I'm new to this forum and GIMP 2.10 in general. So I'm trying to convert images into outlines for laser cutting. And the best way I found is a combination of fuzzy tool+ stroke selection and color exchanging. However, the clicking for stroke selection is a bit too much (edit->stroke selection->stroke) since I need to repeat the process over 100+ times. I was wondering if there is a way to map (edit->stroke selection->stroke) to a key on my keyboard.

Thanks!

Hi,
I'm using 2.10.8 on Windows 10.
Any JPEG file generated by my Canon EOS 5D Mark II or by a Canon utility from a RAW file is correctly displayed by my LG OLED television..
If I open one of these files with GIMP and export it without any modification then the TV set will be consider it as corrupted.
I submitted the problem to LG support team and they suggested that it was GIMP fault.
I suspect that some JPEG parameter is altered or missing when exporting. I tried various export settings but couln't fix the problem.
Any suggestion?
