Giving Gimp 2.10 a whirl here, there is a little difference in using the tools that needs getting used to.

   

Being a rough-old-engineer I like bridges. This one from 1905. Removed the modern overhead electric gantries. Rather than keeping the foreground and maybe desaturating the background, I did it the other way round. Using GEGL C2G I think brings out the nature of this old structure, the texture of the masonry in particular.

I loaded an image with RGB mode. I made a palette from the image. I also made a brush preset with a color in the palette just I created.

Then, I changed the mode to indexed mode for the image I'm working on. When I drew with the preset brush just I created, the color look different in the indexed image. The brush color I chose was originally from the image so I think the color should be the same whether it is on RGB or indexed mode.

Why is that so? I adjusted the opacity to make them look the same, but there is no way to make it work since the indexed brush color is way more clean.

This is quite useful but as of 2.10 I'm unable to see the File - Export Layers To / Export All Layers after pasting the PY in plugins folder along with its export_layers folder. Alternatives, fixes or any news for its fixing?

Hello, I just installed 2.10.0 and the Resynthesizer plugin I used before no longer works. It is one of the plugins I use the most, so I need to get a working version or an alternative. If you have any suggestions, that would be great. Thanks in advance

Hey, I'm working on making repeating patterns right now and I'm trying to use the paths tool for this purpose. I want to be able to make paths that are mirrored or otherwise composed of identical path segments that have been transformed (rotated or flipped) but identical in shape, and still joined. This seems to me like it should be a simple process but I cannot find a way to do it. I know one can copy whole paths and transform those, but then I don't know how to cleanly rejoin them to the original path. Is there a reliable way to do this in Gimp? Do I need a plugin? Or should I just be using a different program? I'm on 2.8 at the moment. Thanks in advance.

Gimp supports svg file format. I downloaded some gradients, which is svg file format. I placed it in the folder I specified in the preference dialog for gradients. Then I restarted gimp and refreshed gradients.

Nothing happens. Nothing is easy really. How do I make it appear in the gradients list?

I am trying to make a custom image using the background of a vmod. Apparently the only decent image you can get of this board game that is not a screenshot of it as it lay on your table is from here.

But its a vmod file. I have no idea what this is. But all i want is it converted to some form of an image file to use as a background to add things to in gimp.

I have googled around but i cant seem to find anything related to converting it to a png or jpeg. GIMP doesnt seem to be able to open it up as is either. I am also on linux. I searched and it is some form of a video file. Is there a way to take a frame from that video file to make an image that is png?

A "Gimp version" field has been added to the user profile. You can edit your profile and set that to your usual Gimp version. This information is displayed in your "postbit" next to your posts.

I selected a part of an image using rectangular select tool. I did shift+R to rotate the selected part. I adjusted parameters in the rotate dialog box appropriately. I chose the selection in tool option. Finally I clicked the rotate button in rotate dialog box. The result is only rotating the marching ant not the image itself. I don't understand.

To make it work, I did all things above paragraph except I chose the layer in tool option. This time the selected part of the image rotated as I adjusted in the rotate dialog box. However the rotated image is cut off the outside of originally selected area. I don't understand.

How do I resolve this issue?

Hi buddies, I'm new on the forum. I'm from Spain so sorry for my English.

Today I update GIMP 2.8.22 to 2.10.0 but when I start it shows me some errors while it's loading for checking new complements.

The first one is about the plugin Save for the web (webexport.exe), I deleted it from C:\Users\xxx\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins but anyway show me the message error, "The application can't start correctly (0xc000007b). Really I full deleted this folder C:\Users\xxx\.gimp-2.8

The second is about the plugin G'MIC (gmic_gimp_qt.exe). GIMP message error says "Doesn't found the entry point of..."
