Foreground selection tool doesn't change background color
Struggling with the foreground selection tool. Gimp 2.10.6. Windows 10.

I select the foreground selection tool, I select an area around the area I want to "extract" and I close the selection with the yellow circle. Then nothing happens. The background doens't change to blue. I just have an image with a closed selection line. Totally stuck.

I have tried using my own jpg image. No luck. I am using Lynda.com to learn Gimp and have their exercise files, in this case a surfer dude, so I know there is nothing wrong with the image itself. No luck.

Hello

My comodo antyvirus after full scan told me that GIMP is full of viruses/threads, here is a screenshot example.
Why is he giving me such warnings. Did someone reported similar issues before?

I am using Gimp 2.10, My system is PCLinuxOS with all the latest updates. Gimp is in Synaptic and all I had to do to install is to check off the program and the mods I wanted to have. 
OK, When I modify an image with the "Warp" tool I cannot get the image to save or export the way I modified it. The image reverts back to its original pattern before I used the Warp tool. This is confusing I know. I'll try to explain better. I can take a regular image and use the Warp tool with any of its functions and it will work just fine, but as soon as I hit Save or Save as or export or export as or overwrite the image goes back to the way it was and does not save the warp modification. What am I doing wrong? Please help. Thanks in advance any suggestions you may have.

I have a 256 greyscale image with a contour map of an area, is there a way of splitting wach greyscale step into a separate image without having to create a new layer and sample the grey value manualy

I tried to install the latest version of GIMP on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6.
The installation was successful, however once I launched GIMP, the interface seems quite blurry (most of the icons and buttons as well).
The same applies, when I open any photo with GIMP.

Please check the following screenshots:

Any clue on why this could happen, please ?
Thanks,

Hey guys i need help with gimp i m a german guy so when some one answer me i give  you my problem in german

At the moment I am using 2.10.4 and different events close on me - they continue after opening again but should this even happen in the first place.
Couple I can think of, off the top of my head are,
When I open a picture
When I go to export a picture
Some filters even do this.

Any way I have never had this happen before. Should I try the 2.10.6 and see if it is still happening?

Hi all,

just downloaded the Appimage of gIMP 2.10.6 from here
https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-app...4.AppImage

... and I somehow can't find language settings. Where have they gone to?
Wasn't it in Preferences>Interface?

   

I just feel as if I'm blind, not seeing it.

Greetings

I have a workflow in GIMP 2.10 which opens a RAW file via Darktable.  This creates a 32bitFP image.
Initially the image appears correctly.
   
If I then select Colors/Hue-Saturation I get an image with a very different histogram and appearance.  
   
On cancelling the dialog the image returns to its initial state.  However, if I leave the sliders in their default unaltered state the changes are preserved.  
   

If I convert the image to any of the available integer precisions before selecting Colors/Hue-Saturation the problem does not occur.

Can someone please explain what is happening.

Thanks a lot.
Tim

I just installed the Gimp 2.10.06 portable version of Samj.
Already in the first filter that I chose (Wavelet Decompose) to use I was awarded with messages of errors and malfunction of the filter.

After displaying windows with error messages, the filter performs its routine and creates what should be the expected result. But the result is far from what should be obtained by the filter. (bizarre result)

However if you choose not to work with layer group, the filter works perfectly.

Is this problem happening with all Gimps 2.10.06, only with the portable version of Samj, or just on my pc?

Could someone with version 2.10.06 do this test?

Thank you in advance!
