I recently upgraded to Gimp 2.10.8, coming from 2.6 (or 2.8, unsure). Ever since then, several functions pertaining to the different color modes do not work right. If I use overlay, lighten, darken, hue, etc, empty area will be filled as if I were using a regular mode brush, while the solid areas experience the effect. When using tablet, pen pressure sensitivity of the pen worked only once, during the session I had activated it; in later session it is switched to active but doesn't work.

This all worked without any problems on the previous version. Might this be a problem of computer settings, or there anything else I can do to fix it?

Hi there. I know there's a way to even an uneven line that varies from i.e 1 to 3 pixels in thickness. Then you can make the line 2 pixels thick.
I can't for the life of me remember how I did that.
I remember I selected the uneven line(s), then did something to make them even. Not even sure if it was a plugin or a standard Gimp feature.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
   I have the mouse scroll wheel set for zoom in and zoom out. The scroll wheel button is still set to the default grab to pan setting. This is what I want. Unfortunately, if the scroll wheel button is held and the scroll wheel encoder moves up or down by a detent the screen pans a large amount in one totally useless jump. How do I disable this? I have gone through Edit>Preferences>Input Devices>Input Controllers>Main Mounse Wheel/Mouse Buttons. The wheel section does not list the wheel button or scroll+button combo and under the buttons section I am having a hard time figuring out what the buttons relate to. There are more button buttons listed than the 3 I have, and they are named using a convention that appears very mysterious. I have 3 buttons, and I'm given options for 8-12. What happened to 1-7, or more importantly, my 1-3, and how am I supposed to know what a button number is. The designated English nomenclature is left button, right button, center button?
 How do I disable the scroll wheel encoder operation while the center button/pan funtion is held, or force it to pan and zoom in and out without skipping around to some useless distant location?

Is it possible, perhaps by adding extra channels, to edit the normal map and the diffuse map simultaneously?

For example, let's say I have a collection of "stamps" that have both a diffuse and a normal. And I want to place these stamps all over my texture at various angles, scales, and positions. Sometimes I'll be using masks to control how the stamps overlap each other, etc.

The problem is, if I just have the diffuse and the normal open as separate images and try to make identical stamps on each, I won't be able to get them in the same position on both images. If they aren't in *exactly* the same spots then it will look terrible in game.

So, I tried adding 4 extra channels to my image, correspond to the nR nG nB nA, but I can't figure out how to copy the data from the separate Normal image into the appropriate channels. And I'm not sure if it will behave as intended once I do.

Does anyone know how to do this / if it's possible?

I'm using 2.10.8.

I have this pic of a race car that I want to change the color of the car, to get an idea what color to paint it.
Can anyone direct me to a tutorial that will help me accomplish this ?
The problem is the car is white with replacement body parts that are black.

All help is appreciated !

Here is the pic:

Is there a smooth-path.exe that is compatible with Gimp 2.10?  I tried using mine from 2.8 but keep getting missing dll errors and does not run.  I really hope there is one available.

Hello,

I'm trying to distort the center of text without distorting the ends of it.

I've tried Cage Transform, but that "bows" the letters on the end, and I'm going for a "straight text", hard lines, etc.

An example would be the logo attached.

Any idea how I can create this effect? I'm wondering if I could make a shape with GFig and fill the text into that shape?

Since G'MIC moved on to the Qt format, loading time of the plug-in went from instantaneous to 5sec+.

Anybody else experiencing this, or is this behaviour related to my system ?

Hi everyone,
i am stuck with a problem in which "text along path"function produces unwabted change. If the text is ABCDEFG, after conversion to follow a ptah i.e. circle it is turned upside down and in the reverse order GFEDCBA. I have checked the steps in number of youtube tutorials but I cant see the reason why my GIMP is doing this. thanks for help.

Hi all,

I'm trying out GIMP Appimage next to my flatpak.

With several script/ plugins I get  warning like this:

Quote:Could not execute plug-in "simple-border"
(/home/hannelore/.config/GIMP-AppImage/2.10/beautify/simple-border)
because it uses an obsolete version of the plug-in protocol.
