Hello.

I haven't worked with GIMP before, so please be gentle.

I currently have a psd file made in Clip Studio, which has one of its layers - Layer 18 to be precise - marked as a 'Clipping Mask' on top of Layer 13.
However, when the file is imported in GIMP, Layer 18 is rendered as a separate layer, which throws the colors off.

Source file:

(warning, 20 Mb file)

This is what it looks like when loaded in GIMP:

How do I get the file to load and/or export correctly (i.e. as a png file in the attachment) when loading it in GIMP?

Desired result:

Hello,

I've been struggling with a rather simple task for a while.
I do have an image which I want to scale in such a way, that the center of the image is less or not affected at all by the scaling than the edges.
I'll try to give a simple example with pixels, since I don't really know how to describe the effect:

1. We have an image with a 5 pixel width
2. We scale the image horizontally
3. The center column of pixels remains unaffected (not stretched)
4. The -1 and 1 columns of pixels get doubled (stretched)
5. The -2 and 2 columns of pixels get tripled (stretched more)

Is this achievable with Gimp and if so, can someone please give me a clue how to do that?

Many thanks,
Bobby

Like this, I tried doing it using this but I had to merge the layers to remove the ones outside the square. Then theres the ugly red and blue (for some reason) outline of the shape that i cant remove

Bonus question:
Why is my fuzzy select tool / wand only showing up as i click, not still showing up after like it used to? Like the outline only comes up when i hold down the mouse but disappears after so idk what its selecting

GIMP 2.8 and earlier had a useful tool, reached through FX-FOUNDRY -> COLOURS -> GREY POINT. I cannot find anything like it in GIMP 2.10.3, which I have in AppImage form. Nor do I know if the FX-Foundry collection is available for the new version. [I am on Debian 9]

Hello GIMP enthusiasts!

I am currently teaching a course where I had to learn GIMP to help my students color their artwork. (I have been using Photoshop for many years but in this new school, they use GIMP)

I have to say I have found GIMP is a great program, except for a glitch or I am not sure what that is anymore. You see in some computers where the program has been installed, the toolbox shows correctly and in some others the tool book is just a bunch of dots that are fixed on the top left part of the window.

If you click on the dots you can see which one belongs to which tool, which I find very impractical. I have seen the same tutorials over and over and I have tried the Ctrl + B command to bring back the toolbox, the Edit-Preferences-Window management-restore to default
and nothing works. I close and re-open the program and the damn dots are still there.

Lastly I tried re-installing the program and that did not work either. I am more or less desperate about this frustrating problem.
Anyone that can help me out here? Has anyone encountered the same problem?

Gimp can't seem to open some of the texture files that are in Fallout 4, apparently because of the compression format which I think comes from DX11.  (My DDS viewer program can't open 'em either.)  Is there any workaround for this?  I read that there's updated plugins for Photoshop and Paint.net, but I couldn't find anything for GIMP.

I am trying to correct a photo where there was too much bright white reflecting off spectacles.

 So I've been smudging the dark frames over into the white area.

 Works quite well but I notice that over time I lose the color.  That's the way smudging works, I guess.  It takes the first pixels and mixes them with the next I think, doesn't it,  so they get 'diluted'.

 Any simple way I can stop or slow down this dilution and persist with a color for a while?

 You can see here how far I've got...   Bit messy but it only has to be a tiny visa pic..

 I'm not doing well trying to insert the pic... perhaps I'll insert a link...

I reinstalled Gimp because python-fu refused to start, along with some python related tools.
After reinstalling, the python-fu option is gone from the menu and I get 2 errors at start. Both errors appear in the twain.exe step. Removing twain.exe helped getting rid of the errors, though didn't solve the missing python-fu menu.

Hi all,

Just installed 2.10.4 to try retexturing the radio from Fallout 4 (although I have a few other things in mind too) and am very confused about a particular operation.  None of the many tutorials I read/watched helped out so hopefully someone here can.

Anyways, the DDS for the radio has a couple sections with quite thick woodgrained borders (for the wooden case of the radio) that I'd like to turn into solid colours.  The tools for selecting area via colour don't work very well, I think because of the woodgrain.  So I used the "free select" selection tool (the magic scissors were much to inaccurate) to highlight the outer border then hit Enter to get the marching ants.  So far so good, although around corners I had to use quite of few of those "connector nodes" (hope you know what I mean) while zoomed way in to make nice curves.  But, when I tried using that tool to highlight the inner border (i.e. I want the selection area to be the woodgrainy space between them), hitting Enter made the initial (outer border) disappear. 

I muddled around and eventually discovered that keeping CTRL pressed while making the second (inner border) selection made it possible (sometimes) to save the second selection without the first one disappearing.  So I was eventually able to make both borders and "bucket fill" the area inside them with a solid colour.

The problems: it took me ages to get this done because (i) most of the time, even keeping CTRL pressed resulted in the first selected border (marching ants) to disappear and I'd have to start over (I at least saved the file after doing the first border), and (ii) sometimes, seemingly related to having CTRL pressed, I had little control of placing the nodes.  I could only place them way higher or lower than I wanted.  That was also hit and miss, and starting over often corrected the problem  I'm actually guessing that all that is somehow related to the number of nodes I used.  I only got done by keeping the number of nodes to a minimum.   Which kinda sucked since around corners I like to use a lot of nodes/lines to make the curves smooth.

Although I got it done in the end, it was more ragged than I would have liked.  But I can't help but feel like I'm missing something obvious.  Surely there has to be an easier way?  Almost every tutorial I saw just explained how to make an outline and then edit whatever's inside.  But, in my case, I only want to change a portion of what's inside the initial selection so have to make another one.  I have a feeling that this must be a very common operation so, yeah... help?!  I don't think I can go through that again.

Anyways, hope that all made sense.  I can post an image of the dds if that would help.
