I am trying to edit an image (imported png saved as xcf), mode is already RGB but still the whole Colours menu is greyed out and none of the usual colour tools work (colorise, HUE-mode layers, etc). All layers remain stubbornly black and white. The colours menu is completely greyed out, mode is already RBG, file is xcf. Help!

Hello - I hope you can help me with this issue, as I love GIMP.

My computer recently had a clean install of Windows 10 Pro. Before the crash of c:\ GIMP 2.10 worked perfectly.

I have lots of space on C.:\, 8 GB RAM and SSD.

Now I also had to reinstall GIMP, which means I am now on 2.10.6 .

GIMP always say "not responding" ie when I try to open an image or save and image, and more actions.

I have removed with Revo several times and reinstalled, but I have the same problem.

I have tried to install older versions, but I can only find unstable versions. Of course I have sarched this forum without finding anything when I search for the term "responding"

I would be grateful for input.

Best regards,

I have 2.10.6 flatpak.  I need the normal map plugin.  I can install it with the synaptic manager, but I have no idea where it is now.  I don't have 2.8 anymore. Any ideas?
-----edit
Ok I installed 2.8 and the normal map plugin with the synaptic manager. It works, and that is good, but my default .gimp2.8 plugins folder is empty. Does anyone know where the synaptic installer puts the normal map plugin?

An action in photoshop is great to sharpen photos. It is concerning the following action, Russell Brown's detailing action that one can found on: https://www.photoshop.com/spotlights/russell-brown. I tried to make the same thing in gimp, but I think I missed something because the result is a more colorful photo, but it is not sharpen. It use a negative curve preset in photoshop. I don't know how to do that in gimp. Anyone? Thanks in advance.

I have always used GIMP with no issues on Mac OS for 10 years now but have recently had to switch to Windows 10 and am finding the user interface well pretty useless as everything is tiny and I can’t see how to increase their size?

All the icons on the tool windows are tiny, the menu options overlap so basically it not usable at all.

How come GIMP is a peach on Mac but sucks on Windows?

Can anyone advise on how to rectify?

Thanks

So, I have taught myself a lot of gimp, but I am not an artist and sometimes lack the basic vocabulary to even know how to search for what I want to learn how to do.  I want to make a gif where the background is static and have a very slight "glow" or "pulse" effect in a particular spot or along an outline or even more simply, along a line.  I dont even know what to call it or how to search for it.  Ive made a lot of gifs and understand layers ok enough, but this simple thing seems to be escaping me.

Two examples.  They are more advanced than what I need to do but show it well.:

https://us.v-cdn.net/6025736/uploads/edi...ak8zl3.gif - the glowing pulse, top right under his name.

https://us.v-cdn.net/6025736/uploads/edi...wsiv8q.gif - the glowing propagating yellow line that reaches out to each portrait.



Maybe I think it should be too simple, but along a line it seems like I should be able to do some motion blur along a line over 4-5 layers but I feel like I am doing it the hard way.  Its also possible that the linked images are not possible with gimp, and that is fine too.  I just dont know how to describe it well enough to search for it myself.  Thanks in advance.

What I’m trying to do is make an entire image SHEER, in other words see-through, but with all the colors maintained. Using the opacity control on the layers palette it looks like I’m doing that, the gray checkerboard appears underlying the image, but when I try to copy or clone that image onto another one, it goes on completely opaque, no matter how low I take the opacity! BUT, if I save the image as a PNG, and re-import it, then it can be copied or cloned and it IS sheer.

Clearly, I’m making some sort of stupid error here; could somebody please tell me what it is, lol?

Also: I’ve tried copying the sheer image into the clipboard of the brush pallete, but the result is also always opaque; is that fixable?

For bonus points: Is there a way to make only PART of an image see-through? Not colorless, just SHEER. Taking a color to alpha sometimes creates exactly that effect, by accident as far as I can tell, because I can’t make it do that deliberately…?!
