"Darken only" seems pretty straightforward, but I have been managing to get the same surreal result every time I do it. 

I’m using a solid-colored second layer to try to bring color into an original image. Instead of this color just appearing in the lighter areas, the ENTIRE IMAGE becomes tinted with that color, and that happens every time, with every image, and no matter what color I use. Here is an an example:



(No, the pattern hasn’t changed, I just took little samples from a big image and didn’t line them up perfectly.)

I’m not doing anything fancy here; I wouldn’t know how. All I’m doing is creating a new layer, adding the color to it, and using the "Darken only" control. Can someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong? This is making me crazy, LOL!

When I load an image into GIMP in single-window mode, sometimes the window changes size. When this happens, the right edge of the window ends up on the secondary monitor. Is there a way to turn this feature off? I had this problem with 2.8, and I still have it with 2.10.

Hi there!

I just moved from 2.8 to 2.10.4 using GIMP on GNU/Linux Xubuntu 18.04.
I have noticed that the Ellipse Selection has changed or it has a bug. I was used to make a ellipse selection on 2.8 and it just selected the ellipse inside, but it does not work like that on 2.10. I have to go to the menu > Select > Everything and then use the ellipse selection to make it work.
Is it a bug or it changed the way we have to use it? May I fix it installing anything?

Thanks!

How do you select an entire image without grabbing the whole canvas. I have a small picture that's sitting on a larger canvas. Everything I have the layer selected and try to "select all"...it frames it, but it also includes the canvas as well. Fuzzy select won't work, since I want the entire image there's no negative space.

I am running Gimp 2.10 using a Debian Linux and today it suddenly refused to start. There is no error message issued when I start the program in command line. I tried purging gimp and re-install without any help.

After clicking on gimp or starting it through command line I could actually see a process of gimp. However, I cannot see the user interface being turned on. Does anyone have any suggestion how to solve this?

Hello everyone!
I recently bought a 49 inch tv that I want to rotate images on. Suggested pixel size is 1024x768. However, when I use this size, my pictures don't take up the entire screen and big black bars are on the side. If I do increase the pixels (1200x768) it takes up the entire tv but the image quality diminished substantially.
I would like my images to take up the entire width of the tv. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you!!!

How do you set up an eraser so that whatever the cursor pixels touch is completely removed in one click? I'm constantly having to feather things out to alpha with several clicks...like reverse anti-aliasing.

I can't seem to apply Gaussian blur to a selection without colours from surrounding pixels (but outside the selection area) bleeding in. 

I read about selective G blurring, but that doesn't seem to fit what I want to do.  Median blurring was ineffective for what I was trying to do.

I googled around and found others with the same problem, but no solutions. Is there a setting or something I'm missing to prevent bleeding like this?

Is there a way to print layer(s) settings in 2.10?  I've got some layers with different opacity settings for either the layer or brush, and if I switch to another layer/create a new layer when I return to a prior layer, the settings aren't recalled.  That, or is there a way to make sure GIMP can recall the settings I had set up for the layer?

Thanks!

Howard

Are these all working in 2.10.4?
I noticed that one has been deprecated. Does that mean the others are ok?
