Hello. I started working with GIMP a few months ago, and I faced the problem the other day.

While scaling selected area I drag it outwards to make it bigger, however the program makes the area smaller. The opposite happens when I try to make the area smaler. 

How to solve this problem?

Hello there!

I imported a picture from a 70 PPI document into a 150 PPI one and made it bigger. Then i wanted to fill out some space with orange colour but I get this result witht white pixels at the borders.

Is there a way to solve this or do I have to redo the borders?

Thanks!

I was working (for the first time) with a photo in a single layer using the healing tool, zooming in and out to view my work.  But I must have done something wrong and now the left hand side of the image is gone, like it was cropped.  I tried Layer Image to Size.  Any idea what happened and if I can fix without having to revert to an earlier version?  Screen shot attached.  Thanks

Been using photoshop on mac for 25 yrs, stumbled on gimp (2.10.6) for my windows machine. In PS, open image, double click the background in layers, and it sets it to a layer in ps mode, then can cut out backgrounds, etc. and leave transparency. How can I do the same in gimp?

I've just updated Ubuntu from version 18.04 to 18.10, and that has updated Gimp from 2.8.? to 2.10.6.

One of the features that I regularly use is "Heal Selection" that appears in the Filters->Enhance menu, but it's absent from Ubuntu's Gimp 2.10.6. Anybody know why?

I understand that the "Heal Selection" feature uses the Resynthesizer plugin, and in Ubuntu that is included in the "gimp-plugin-registry" package, a package that contains multiple plugins, and I do have that installed. The Resynthesizer's own menu entry is present in its usual place at Filters->Map->Resynthesize, but that doesn't include the "Heal Selection" feature.

Has "Heal Selection" been deliberately removed from Gimp 2.10? Or does it now live in its own plugin that needs to be installed from somewhere? Or is this likely to be an oversight by Ubuntu's package maintainers? Or have I missed something obvious (which I must admit is often the case). Any ideas, please?

Fairly new to Gimp.  Trying to get "Mats and Frames" to work on GIMP 2.8.  https://gimpguru.wordpress.com/tutorials/matsandframes/

I'm getting the following error.  I tried searching for answers but didn't find any.  Any suggestions?

Error: ( : 1) eval: unbound variable: gimp-drawable-image

Thanks!

Hello.
I am currently trying to automize a flow to detect drawn graphite lines on paper. I decided to use edge detection for the job, and after alot of experimentation, i found that Edge detection -> difference of gaussians, with radius1 = 4.872, and radius2=0.533 was just perfect. 

The gimp procedural database contains a difference of gaussians (dog) plugin: plug-in-dog(image,drawable,inner,outer,normalize,invert)

Already here we can some differences: no longer are the parameters simply "radius1" and "radius2", but specifically "inner" and "outer". Also, the "normalize" bool-option is nowhere to be found when applying the filter directly from gimp.

More importantly though, this plug-in simply gives different results! And quite alot worse too unfortunately. Not good enough for what i'm trying to do atleast.

Why would the script in the procedural database be different? Does this have anything to do with the shift to GEGL in 2.10 (I don't actually fully understand what that means, other than it having something to do with the ways graphics are dealth with, and most likely being better). 

Is there any way i can acess the filter actually used by gimp?

Have a nice day!

hi ... first of all I am a GIMP newbie and trying to figure stuff out on my own with YouTube and tutorials.  Here's what I need help with: I screen captured a couple of map locations using google maps.  The first attachment is a section of a map that is close to what the original looked like. 

I then did a bunch of edits and changes to get the look in the 2nd picture. Notice how the water is represented in a "fading away" (no idea what the effect is called) blue on each side of the highway.

Here's my problem: I have another map and would like to reproduce the water in the same way but I can't figure out how I did it!!?!?  anyone have some suggestions?

How do I create plug-ins? I can't find any tutorials more recent than 2011, and the ones I've found have links to nonexistent pages.
