Hi, I am a painting enthusiast and I have found that the perspective of many paintings is not precise enough. I have developed an app that can generate accurate 3D perspectives of objects such as buildings, mountains, and rocks, which can be used to assist in painting. It has now been launched on the app store. I wonder if it is possible to recommend it to everyone here.

I'm a casual GIMP user. I have some old digital images shot or digitized in low resolution (pixelated). The one I'm currently working on was a jpeg from around 1990. I opened it and screenshot it and now it's a 600ppi png, but the image retains all the compression artifacts that are left over from its original life as a 70ppi jpeg. Is depixelating it an art? I recognize that GIMP is incapable of knowing what information should be in the image. I'm eager to learn new things in GIMP.

new to v3 and having scripting issues.

My test case is a published "hello World"script. (https://testing.developer.gimp.org/resou...script-fu/)

On MacOS I have given GIMP full access in system settings. I have placed this .scm in a subdirectory with the same name as the executable .scm file. In Folders, this script directory is the first listed.

It does not show up when I restart GIMP.

I've read that I can load it in the Console, and when I do this, I get the error:

     "Error: eval: unbound variable: (/Users/mark/GIMP_scriptfu/mh_hello_world3/mh_hello_world.scm : 35)  [] "

On line 35 in the script, it holds the copyright year. How is this causing this script to error out?

I have tried different example scripts and am getting similar errors.

I am new to this. Thanks for any help!

Hi
Gimp only uses maybe 10 fonts and the rest don't have any affect, I added the windows fonts folder in preferences and deleted cached fonts from AppData but no fix.
What's going on?

Bonjour,
je souhaite poser une question sur l'outil de déformation par cage.
Mais avant d'aller plus loin et de poser ma question, je doit préciser que je suis français et que je ne parle pas anglais.
Aussi j'utilise le fonction de traduction automatique.
Et avant d'entamer la discussion je souhaite vérifier que le traducteur fonctionne et que vous recevez bien mon message en anglais.
La communication français/anglais est elle correcte?

Bien à vous, 
Bart

I installed Gimp 3.06 (package from my distro) and 3.2 RC1 self-compiled.
My plugins (e.g. Gmic, Batcher, Resynthetizer) copied to the appropriate directories only work with 3.06...

First time posting after being a happy gimp user for many years

I am working on a project that looks way different in the editor form the export (see attached file).
I have seen posts before about colour modes when exporting but this is so drastic I am pretty sure something else is wrong.

I seem to have traced the issue back to a layer with a contrast effect added  non-destructively:
But when merging layers it looses this contrast, creating the lighter export picture rather than what I see in my editor now.

Is this a known bug? Am I being stupid? How do I get the image I see in my editor out?
Thank you guys in advance!

I’ve published a new plugin that generates the average colour for any RGB or greyscale image. It sits at the end of the Colors menu: “Average colour” (after you install it properly of course).

I was surprised that average colour wasn’t a thing in GIMP. I did a lot of research and discovered the topic generated various solutions that were all challenging in one way or another.

Then I found a thread from 2014 where someone suggested a really simple manual approach. So I took that as inspiration and automated it.

You can read more about it and download it here:

Also, I wrote a follow-up blog post on the wider topic of the importance of using industry standards in GIMP, with average colour as an example:

The plug-in is available in the following languages:

Dutch (Nederlands)
English (English)
French (Français)
German (Deutsch)
Italian (Italiano)
Hungarian (Magyar)
Japanese (日本語)
Polish (Polski)
Portuguese (Português)
Spanish (Español)
Ukrainian (Українська)
Chinese (Simplified) (简体中文)
Chinese (Traditional) (繁體中文)

Feedback and suggestions welcome and encouraged!

Using gimp 3.0.4 I'm normally finding it OK to copy and paste a layer group with Edit -> Paste or Edit -> Paste In Place but if one of the layers has an un-merged filter the paste places the layers as individuals losing the layer group. Anyone else seeing this?

Hey there GIMPers!

So, I hope that at least one of these pictures shows up, as in this case pictures can speak thousands of words:

If the images are not showing up, here's an Imgur link: https://imgur.com/a/MDzWdOd

Long story short - I've been using GIMP quite a lot over the past couple of years, mostly sticking to the basics, but also learning a new thing then and now. So the fact that I've encountered something this disruptive I haven't seen before has caught me by surprise. It looks like a bug or a super hidden feature that can be activated with a key or key combination...

Essentially - Text Tool's text alignment feature no longer works properly for "Center" or "Right justified". It assumes there's more space for the text to the right side, but that's not the case. In my image I have specifically used 'View' -> 'Snap to Canvas Edge', so it would be easy to see that the text is not Center Aligned.

There are no space-bars, no enters, no tabs, no invisible symbols in front of the text. No Font, size changes affect the behavior, opening a new project & re-making the layers from scratch doesn't fix this. Changing the resolution of the base image does not change anything. I tried copying in a duplicate text layer from an older project and it's still haunted by this.

And the worst thing is that this seems to also affect my older projects now... So I must have accidentally clicked some key / key-combination that does something I'm unaware of now. What is going on and how do I turn it off?

Thank you!
