Hello everyone,

I had to reinstall OS X on my 2006 MacBook Pro. It is limited to OS X 10.6 snow Leopard as it has a 32-bit processor.

I used to have GIMP 2.8. I can't remember where I found a 32-bit build (maybe unofficial) but now I can't find it anywhere. 2.6 is running fine but I would like 2.8.

I am about to start teaching a graphic design course at the college in which I work, the computers there also have 10.6.8 and I would like to incorporate GIMP. Version 2.8 would be preferable to 2.6.

Can anyone tell me where to find a 32-bit build of 2.8 for OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I created my own bitmap brushes

but it only draws as black, cant get any color no matter which front/back color I choose

I use grayscale gbr files

also is there a way to change size automaticaly by selecting the brush, otherwise I always have to adjust the size when changing brush, really annoying for pixel art

what am I missing ?

regards

On my Gimp 2.8 with Windows 10,when I try to apply Fx Foundry copyright on my images (i used this function successfully with older Gimp) I get 2 error messages : 1) plug in 'Eg coyright placer' image left undo in inconsistent state,closing open undo  groups, and b) :
Error when executing script-Fu-egg-copyright .Errror (:1) eval: unbound variable:cadr
Someone please enlighten !

I'm trying to scale a layer (smaller) and the scale tool correctly resizes the image but the alpha (checker board) does not scale with it.

It creates a new floating selection (transformation) layer and I don't know what this is!

I have then tried to Image->Fit_Canvas_To_Layers but that doesn't change anything.

Not sure how to re-scale my image and alpha together.

Hi,
I think I need some logic advice please.
I like to create a medley of several images on one page. Iit is primarily designated to use on my 5.2 inch smartphone, 1920x1080, 428ppi.
I also want to zoom in to see the details and text on each individual imag as good as possible. Now I have the problem with selecting the first plank background layer, where I have to specify either the width and height or pixels and the ppi.
Do you have any suggestion what template setting I should choose to have the best quality for my 1920x1080 smartphone?
Thank you very much for your help I appreciate it.

In this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-GbuXU8YMQ), Tony uses image stacking to improve the final image as a result of the combining. Although he uses Photoshop, a similar technique can be used in GIMP.

I have two questions as a result of this video.

(1) In GIMP, to "blend" images, I use G'MIC-Qt. Amongst other options, there are Median and Mean. Mathematically, I know the difference between the two but in terms of the use of those terms in this filter, what are the differences between the two and when might it be better to use one over the other?

(2) When stacking the images in layers in the video referenced above, prior to applying the blending,Tony uses the following procedure (that I will simplify). The opacity of each layer is different and are set to 1/(layer position from the bottom). This means that the bottom layer is 1/1=100%, the second layer from the bottom is 1/2=50%, the third layer from the bottom is 1/3=33%, the fourth layer from the bottom is 1/4=25%, etc. Is this a valid approach? Are there other approaches?

BevelReflectLogo and 3-D extrusion are in .scm scripts. I was wondering if they could be made into python scripts. It's beyond my ability, but perhaps someone already did (or could do) this?

The reason is for use in the latest Gimp v2.10 RC1 appimage. I can get it to load python scripts by adding two lines at the beginning of the script. I have no idea on how to make it loan .scm scripts however.

To make a python script be able to load in this appimage, add these two lines followed by a space..

Hi. By default, gimp creates a program settings folder in Windows 7 in the root directory of your user folder, usually "C:\Users\Administrator\.gimp-2.8". How can you change the location of that folder to be in the AppData, Roaming folder, for example, "C:\Users\Computer User\AppData\Roaming\.gimp-2.8"?

I've tried to change the "temporary folder" and "swap folder" locations in edit, preferences, folders, but it keeps creating the .gimp-2.8 folder in the default folder location. Thanks.

Hi,

I am completely new to Gimp. I have a very simple image made of up two layers.  My image is too large to post as an attacbment

I want to cut and move some of the content on one of the existing layers to the other existing layer and vice and versa.
  
I have been reading up and can see information about the Select Float technique but this is not working. I tried cut and paste as new layer and then merge down but this just seems to move the section I cut out and not the image content.

I would just like to understand.
1) How I should select the content I want to move. I have been using the paths tool and then selecting the path.
2) How I can permanently move the selected content from my first layer to my second layer including the content on the screen.

I am feeling very slow at the moment!

Any help or pointers to existing tutorials would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Willip4
