I have an Ubuntu 16.04 box and am using a Wacom tablet CTL 480.  

Problems

1) the program sometimes changes color when I am drawing.  Mostly it is the second color in the two color rectangles in the toolbox. 
2) sometimes the erase function does not work or you get a color from it, the colors coming from the color rectangle in the tool box.

I can fix this temporarily sometimes by closing GIMP, also by deleting devicerc.  Sometimes I can fix the problem by disabling the tablet by editing the input devices. disabling if enabled or enable if disabled.

These problems are occurring with maddening frequency.   I hate to have to learn another program but these problems making using GIMP very annoying.

Any assistance much appreciated.

How to make tapered brush stroke in GIMP ? Is it possible to do with mouse ?

In PS

Hi there. This probably will sound like a real dumb question, but it’s really vexing me. 

I want to draw a 2d drawing of my dashboard in my motor home to scale. I want to be able to accurately place circles of the correct size for my instrument gauges so that I can redesign the whole board. 

I cannot work out how to correctly scale the drawing canvas, so I can draw a rectangle that will equal the real world size of 550mm wide by 290mm high, and then draw the guages, also to scale.  

The other alternative is using a different program. But as I only want 2d, then I thought Gimp was the best.

Hope that makes sense, and someone can assist me.

Sorry if this question has already been answered, but I couldn't find anything relevant. How can I interrupt a long-running script if for some reason I don't want to wait for it to complete? The only way I've found is to go into Task Manager (on Windows) and kill it, which isn't very elegant and leaves the do/undo stack in an invalid state, so I have to exit Gimp and restart it. Is there a way to poll the keyboard, say once every 100 ms., and test for a keypress? Or is there another way?

Thanks.

I'm running windows 10 x64, the error message I get reads as follow:

"GIMP 2.8.22 cannot be installed over your currently installed GIMP version, and
the automatic uninstall of old version has failed.

Please remove the previous version of GIMP yourself before installing this version
in C:\Program Files\GIMP 2, or choose a Custom install, and select a
different installation folder.

The Setup will now exit.

Setup cannot continue. Please click Cancel to exit."

I've fully uninstalled my previous version of gimp manually, there are no traces of it anywhere that I can find.
I've tried many different installation folders with custom install and I always get the same message.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I am trying to trace a curve using the path tool, which you can just about see in the image. I have also attached the xcf file.

To get an accurate trace I found that I needed to make a path with several segments. It is quite difficult to get the segments to join up smoothly without a kink in the curve where they join. Is there an easy way to do this? Or a better way of tracing the curve?

I just downloaded Gimp (and Adobe Bridge) after research and recommendation from a family member, as Picasa is no longer supported and I need to sort and organise about 10,000 photos (including several thousand to be scanned from original photos). I like the idea of the Resynthesizer function to remove unwanted objects, but ...
. Downloaded Resynth plugins, didn't work. Got error message when trying to use it.
. Repeated above, several times, deleting each set of plugins before trying again. 
. Read about Script-fu Heal-Selection plugin. Tried that. Worked, but REALLY slow and no variables to adjust like the tutorial I watched.
. Don't know what Python is, but a page I read said the plugin uses it, so I downloaded it, then re-downloaded the Resynth plugins.
. Resynth now shows in Filters>Map, but none of the plugins (especially Heal-Selection) show in Filters>Enhance!

I also tried the clone and brush tools, but when I set the sample area, the + appears only until I move the mouse to start cloning and then the sample circled area moves as I move the mouse, which didn't happen in the tutorial either!

HELLLLLLP. I'm not overly computer literate when it comes to the backend side, but I'm a pretty intelligent person and can usually work my way through. However, after over 5 hours of failure, I'm about ready to pack the lot in and go back to good old, discontinued, Picasa. 

PS. I'm using Windows 7

I'm having trouble getting the resynthesizer plug-in functions to work in a new installation (OS updated on a new computer).

The set-up is GIMP 2.8.16 on Linux Mint 18.2 Cinnamon 64-bit, using the plug-ins from the Ubuntu package gimp-plugin-registry 7.20140602ubuntu2 via synaptic. Python is 2.7.12.

There are a number of likely-looking plug-ins in ~/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins, all marked executable (755 permissions):
