Ive been playing with the path tool over the last few days, and was feeling fairly confident in its use. Abstract curvey shape creation..check! Then I hit a wall of frustation when I tried to manipulate the shapes. Flipping them just kept cutting parts of the image out. 

I was going to post a general distress message and whilst running through the process I was using... 

It just clicked that the option I need appears in the Tool Options itself. Select the paths.. and were off! Thats what I wanted it to do 4 hours ago! Flip, rotate, reshape. 

Elation! More things to play with!

Feeling smug. And it only took 4 hours of puzzled muttering. 

Hi all, so I recently got into GIMP 2 and went for brushes and saw the Cartography Brushes Pack for a RP map link below.
https://eragon2589.deviantart.com/art/Ca...n2589&qo=0

After placing them in the "Users\Accname\.gimp-2.8\brushes" I loaded up GIMP to use but instead of them being mountain each dot that drew the mountain was increated in size like this https://i.imgur.com/ucE67Py.png instead of amountain out the the pack. I reinstalled the pack but the same thing happened. This goes for a few other brushes I got aswell not all.

Please help

Every time I try to attached file I get an error message

Hi there


I started working/exploring with GAP using version 2.8.22 and MacOS Sierra 10.12.6
All goes fine until I looked for the video in the menu bar (willing to record my frames into an avi file).
It doesn't exist !
read somewhere that in this new version it's supposed to be in <Image>/Video/Encode/Master Encoder
Unfortunately it's not the case (at least for me).

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I am very new to GIMP. I have just installed v 2.8.22. I have immediately hit a problem. I was just trying to get familiar with how it worked by entering some text. When I did this I noticed that the only font that was being offered was 'sans'. There was no drop down selection to give me other choices.

I have attached a copy of the screen I am seeing.

I am on windows 10. I've looked in the folder users/(user name)/.gimp-2.8/fonts and there is no file present.

Can anybody advise me why I don't appear to be getting any fonts to use. Without these the software is pretty useless.

For an ordinary user, at the moment using linux (I use Kubuntu 16.04), I can install either a Gimp 2.8.22 or a Gimp 2.9.9 but not both, since in linux they share the same directory locations.

One way round that as mentioned frequently here, is the regular Gimp 2.8.22 installed and a separate (portable) appimage for Gimp 2.9.9

Looking at the future, Kubuntu 18.04 with its newer packages will run Gimp 2.10  What if Gimp 2.8.22 is also required?

An alternative system to appimage is one called flatpak. This is the system that gimp.org in their wisdom (sometimes questionable wisdom) has gone for.

Does it work - Yes.

This a Kubuntu 18.04 VM and Gimp 2.10 https://i.imgur.com/rA6cHAl.jpg

The same VM running the Gimp 2.8.22 flatpak https://i.imgur.com/yueveYR.jpg

Downsides, lots and lots of cr*p installed just in order to run that gimp flatpak.

So, I just downloaded GIMP 2.8 and subsequently installed GAP (2.6) so that I could use the plug-ins to turn videos into .gif files.
Installation seems fine, but the problem comes in when I try to use Extract Videorange on certain videos.

The plug-in, for whatever reason, thinks the videos are at 180000 fps.
They are, in-fact, .mp4 format at 59 fps.

   

I've tried a random .avi video I have, and that comes up properly at 24~ fps, but I need help getting GIMP to recognize the actual framerate of the video files I want to edit.

I also originally tried the method where you trim/record the section you want using VLC to grab a smaller portion to work with in GIMP. Those files are, apparently, 120000 fps according to GIMP and are also .mp4s.

I tried just working with it anyways, but when I try to slide through the video range preview, the plug-in just freezes so there's no way to accurately locate where I want it to start/stop.

So, I guess what I'm asking is:
Why are these videos showing up as being 180000 fps when they clearly are not?
Is there any way to remedy this?

Thanks and sorry if I don't respond immediately, but your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone,

I had to reinstall OS X on my 2006 MacBook Pro. It is limited to OS X 10.6 snow Leopard as it has a 32-bit processor.

I used to have GIMP 2.8. I can't remember where I found a 32-bit build (maybe unofficial) but now I can't find it anywhere. 2.6 is running fine but I would like 2.8.

I am about to start teaching a graphic design course at the college in which I work, the computers there also have 10.6.8 and I would like to incorporate GIMP. Version 2.8 would be preferable to 2.6.

Can anyone tell me where to find a 32-bit build of 2.8 for OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I created my own bitmap brushes

but it only draws as black, cant get any color no matter which front/back color I choose

I use grayscale gbr files

also is there a way to change size automaticaly by selecting the brush, otherwise I always have to adjust the size when changing brush, really annoying for pixel art

what am I missing ?

regards
