Using 2.10.38 on w11

Hello, I usually open a number of files by drag and drop from a folder. 
When I do all the images open slightly zoomed in. So for every image I have to "ctrl+shift+J" to see the entire image. Very annoying. 
Can anyone help.

Hello,

I hope I'm going to explain this well enough. This is my first attempt at using GIMP so, I'm hoping the solution is not too complicated. 

I have a jpeg image which, as far as I know is all 1 layer. That's what it shows as in GIMP. It was made by an AI (which couldn't spell, which is why I am trying to fix it)! The whole image is square, with an outer circle with text and small graphics. Then an inner circle with a image graphic. The text in the oputer circle is part of the image/layer and, I have managed to remove the mis-spelt letters. Now I need to move some letters to match the remaining correct text in the outer circle. 

I have managed to get the letters in roughly the correct position but, still need to align them to flow round the outer circle to match the rest of the text. I think I need an circular line to let me place the letters properly. This is what I'm having trouble with. I have got a circular selection marker created, in a separate layer, in the place I need but, I think I need e.g. a white circular line where the selection marker is to let me pull the text to the right place. Obviously, if I select anything else e.g. any text, the circular selection marker disappears.

I would need to have the line there while I align the text correctly and, then delete the line once I am finished with the text.

If further information is needed, please let me know.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am using GIMP 2.10.38 on Windows 10.

I'm having difficulty understanding GIMP's group layer mode, “Pass through”. I assume that its influence is limited to the group layer's 'Opacity' and 'Mode' settings. However, my assumption is incorrect because I am getting two different outcomes as shown with this comparison image. So, my question is: why are there two different outcomes, or I could ask, what is happening here?
 
In this comparison image, there are two rows depicting the two outcomes. In the first row, the “Burn” layer is inside the “Pass through” layer group. In the second row, I have dragged the “Burn” layer out of the “Pass through” layer group.

   

Here is the XCF file in question: 
  pass-through.xcf (Size: 752.74 KB / Downloads: 195)

github already forced me to have a 2FA, and sure I use a FLOSS one called 2FAS.
Today going to see what Ofnuts did put on github, I got this:

   

I mean seriously...  Micro$oft wants that I pay a monthly sh!t to their proprietary "partners" or wants to know the color of my underwear? F... NO!
It already pisses me off that I need my phone to connect to a website        

   

Hello,

Is it possible to open a file, modify it, and export the file with changes to a jpg?

When I export the file as a jpg it is the original unmodified version with no changes.

TIA...

I have a pc with MX Linux 23.3, GIMP 2.20.38 (AppImage) downloaded from here, and G’MIC 3.4 downloaded from here (the deb file did not work, downloaded a zip file and unzipped it), after loading an image, click on menu > Filters > G’MIC-Qt, got a crash message

ps: already restarted GIMP several times with the same result.

How can I troubleshoot this problem (new to G’MIC/GIMP, not an expert in Linux).



So that is a https://github.com/ivan-hc/GIMP-AppImage/ Gimp 2.10.38 and a gimp_gmic_qt as a (Debian ?) zip

Hi gimp users,

I got JPEG images from a multifunction copier. I really like the quality per size of these images!
I would also like to use this jpeg quality with gimp exports. But this doesn't work as expected. First I opened an image generated by the copier. Then see attached 3 screenshots from export dialog:

1 - these are the standard values. It produces a very big size jpeg. This is not what I want.

2 - these settings are automatically choosed, if I just check the "Use quality setting from original image" checkbox.
The exported image with this settings is very good. The size is even a bit smaller than original. This is what I want! I like to use this quality settings for default at all images!

3 - But if I uncheck the "Use quality setting from original image" and keep all other settings changed before, I got an image with horrible quality.

Why can I not use this quality level by choosing the settings gimp choosed? It's absolutely insane: The only workaround I found to use this quality level is:
1. Open my own image (not generated by multifunction copier)
2. Copy the whole image to clipboard (Ctrl-C)
3. Open any image generated by the copier
4. Chance canvas size of this image to the image size from my own image
5. Paste my own image from clipboard (Ctrl-V)
6. Export with "Use quality setting from original image"

Hi all, I don't get enough time to play on my computer these days, but i was looking at some of my old parody art stuff from back in 2019-2021, and i decided i'd like to post a selection of it here - all made in GIMP.

Well, maybe you think some if it is crummy, and you would be correct. I definitely put more effort into some than others, and there was also a learning experience going on over the course of things. So, it is what it is, i guess, though i did try to cut out some of really bad pics i didn't feel like stood the test of time(last 5 years). So ask me some questions if you are curious about any of them, and maybe i'll help you understand where i was coming from when i made it. Or maybe i will be AFK - sry.

Anyway, Enjoy the GrAphiC aRT! (ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ ┻━┻

...I'm feeling lazy so i'm posting to imgbox & postimg:

https://imgbox.com/g/n1pZPTXJAO

https://postimg.cc/gallery/Ws0Gqhc

apparently it is too many images to embed in a single post, so i'll just leave it at that.

Gimp 2.10.38, Win 10 64
I opened a black image on a white background, I selected the black part, copied and pasted it as a new layer onto a new larger image (canvas) with a white background. Now, I cannot deselect the black part I pasted into the new image. I selected the layer, tried ctrl+shift+a and Select/None but nothing gets rid of the marching ants.
Sure could use some help.
Thank you.

OK forum experts.  I have an image of a 1000 year old manuscript which has black ink on one side that shows through and reddish/brownish ink on the other.  I want to see only the reddish/brownish ink and make the text on the reverse not visible.  
Here is a segment of the image (the full image was too large to post).
   
If you are successfully able to diverge the texts, please be specific in what you did (e.g. if you used some color mask, what value was it set to).

thank you!
