Hi! Im looking to know if there is a way to random clone an object. I mean, that the size, rotation, or some other properties could be randomized to avoid the mechanical looking. By example, i want to add apples to a tree. I want that apples vary slighty so it looks more real.
I remember to see something like that with Gimp brushes.
Any tip?

Hy I would like a help to simulate painting my house, using Gimp. 

I want to paint my house, but I would like to see on screen how it will be with diferent paints on walls and other details.

I would like instruction on the easiest way to make selectrions or masks I don't know exactly, so I can define areas like walls for one color and others for details like floor or roof or columns, etc..

Then, I how can I apply paint in a way I can still see the texture behind to keep it photo realistic. How do I change the colors in a easy way. And how can I get it as close as possible to the real paint?
Thanks a lot

I'd like tutorials and speed edits.

Basically I'd like to do Man Ray like stuff and other Surrealist Photography as well Kansuke Yamamoto,  Cahun Claude, etc.

Right now I'm using SnapSeed but the limitations are glaring?

Also, I'd like to know some artist here who do Surrealism and pop into your threads, if that's okay to ask?

Hi all, 

I'm new here. I've tried searching for this but can't find it. My edits are coming out all wrong. The colours aren't correct, if I crop the changes are in the wrong place. 2 edits in one image (with only one save) goes all wrong. I've attached 3 images to try to explain it. 

Using GIMP 3.06

Thanks,

Gimp 3 on Win 11.

I would like to use a shortcut (living in my muscle-memory from Photoshop) 'Ctrl+left mouseclick' on the layer mask icon (giving me the selection of the mask). 
But when I try to input the combination - it is not recognized in the Configure Keyboard Shortcuts section.

At the same time I can have a mask shown with 'Alt+left mouseclick' on the layer mask icon. But this key-combination (though working) is not shown as a keyboard shortcut in the configure section ("Show Layer Masks" has the status "Disabled").

I guess 'Alt+left mouseclick' somehow was installed with the PhotoGimp plugin. I have searched for the plugin's key-definitions file to maybe be able to edit the short-cuts there. But I can't find it. And the right way would be to make these changes from the Configure Keyboard Shortcuts option. 

How can I get Gimp to accept and show the mouse actions in the configure section?

I am a beginner Gimp user and I have an issue cutting from a layer with filter.

1) I have two layers where the top layer has a filter

2) I add an alpha channel to the top layer
3) I make a selection and cut
4) The result is not a hole showing the bottom layer but I get this.

What am I missing?

I went from 2.10 to 3 this year, and have never had a good experience with the Text tool!!  I hate it!!  

When using the on-canvas text editor, I select my text and type in a new font at the top, and select it, the font does NOT change!
When selecting a font and size from the left side tool panel, with my text selected, it has no affect!
When using the big Text Editor, my text is microscopic no matter what size I set the font to..
'Use Selected font' may work, but I cannot tell, because I need a microscope to see my text.

When doing any of these actions, I always have my text selected.  This has pretty much been the same for me from v2 - v3 for the past years.

I remember years ago when it seemed to kind of work.  
Does it work this way for everyone?  Is there a fix for this??

Hi,

Using arm64 Raspbian based on Debian 13 (Trixie) how can I get G'MIC within GIMP?

I have the gmic package installed which gives me /usr/bin/gmic but that doesn't give G'MIC within GIMP.

None of Debian's G'MIC packages seem to do that,
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywo...ection=all

'apt-file find gmic-qt' doesn't find any package containing paths with that text.

https://gmic.eu/download.html seems to link to x86_64 binaries, under the amd64 name, and jumping to the full list of files doesn't show any other supported architectures: https://gmic.eu/files/linux/

Would appreciate help on what to do, do I have to compile it from source code?

How do I retrieve jpg metadata from a Python plug-in in Gimp 3.0?

I open a jpg photo and need some metadata. With Gimp 2 and Python 2 I used the plug-in "gimp_image_get_metadata".
My code was (abridged):
