Windows 10 (1803) build 17134.112 64 bit
Gimp 2.10.4 (and Gimp 2.10.2 - but I upgraded) 

I'm getting an error as Gimp runs it's PlugIn Scan on Startup where it tells me: normalmap.exe - Application Error "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."

This started when I tried to actually use NormalMap.exe from the Filters | Map drop down. I haven't used it since I was using Gimp 2.8 - where it did work.

I downloaded the normalmap.exe package again - gimp-normalmap-win64-1.2.3
I installed that per the readme.txt copying the dll files to the bin directory and normalmap.exe to the plug-ins - and overwrote the versions already there.


I still get the error about normalmap.exe being unable to start. So I found instructions to build a normal map manually and took care of that project.

But now everytime I start Gimp, I still get that error. I've tried uninstalling Gimp entirely. Deleting the directories in my C:\Program Files\ folder and the AppData folders. Eventually I even scrubbed gimp from the registry. But everytime I reinstall Gimp the Normal map error comes back - even though I don't even want to reinstall it. I also scrubbed all the references to NormalMap that I can find. I also removed the GTK directories.

Somewhere the system wants to find normalmap.exe and run it. But it doesn't run on my setup, so I want to remove it. And there I'm stuck and need help.

I want to stroke a path with a dynamic brush and i want the fade lenght of my brush to be set to the path length.
I can do this by hand, but this is tedious. I need something automatic.

thx in advance

Can someone show me how to make this image? I've attempted it with mixed results. I think my methods aren't correct. If someone can show me step by step, then I can replicate it. 

So I basically just need a rectangle with curved edges, then put an image of .the arrow on top of it, then put the text under it.

When I do it, I get some strange stuff happening that's really hard to explain.

Thanks!Pic

Give it couple of days to filter through to compiled downloads section at http://www.gimp.org

I've seen a video that describes Octave and Wavelet Sharpen but I don't see them in the tools. The video was for 2.8.

Are these plugins or no longer used in 2.10?

Thank You

I'm currently using GIMP 2.10.2 on Windows 10 Pro with a Wacom Bamboo CTL-470. I downloaded the latest driver from the website, it was a legacy device.

I can use the tablet to manipulate the mouse cursor and the wacom preferences (limiting to one monitor, or pen mode vs tablet mode) do work. When I try to use it in Gimp, I get no pressure opacity, or any dynamics, and the buttons don't do what they're supposed to do. When I look at the Configure input devices menu all I see is the Core Pointer.

If there's a thread for this specific issue, link me to it.

Photos I have downloaded,(I know they have downloaded because their file name is in the task bar) I cannot find on my computer.
I have been doing this forever and am reasonably well versed in knowing where I save them to and where to look for them. I also tried the download folder to no avail. Where could they be going?
Most of you would know I have a restoring site on Facebook and download and up load photos from there, (So I am allowed to download). Even after downloading them 2 , 3 times I cannot find one version. What could be happening?
Ps. I tried from another site and I could find the photo I downloaded.

Says ( When I did a search for todays files) their in the place where I thought they were but Gimp cannot find them. Nothing since 9 hours ago

By the way I have closed and restarted gimp

Hi,
I'm fairly new to GIMP, but I am simply awed by it.

I have used the internet and with the tutorials that I have found, I have been able to get 3D text, animated GIFS, and glitter on photos.

But what I am really trying to do is to get an animated business card.  For example, I have created 3 JPGs, opened them as layers, and exported them out as a GIF.  The business logo and business info is the same, only the phones on each business card are different.

I took three of these JPGs and added glitter to the photos and was able to export each JPG as a GIF and get the sparkle working on the photos.  However, I want to have the three JPGs/GIFs combined into an GIF so that I can have the three GIFS looping showing different photos, but also the animated sparkle/glitter on the photos.

How can I do this?

When I opened the three GIFs, it created the different layers and the quality of the photos were horrible.  So, I think that while what I want to do is possible, I have not found a way to do this yet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

PostRotateCrop.py is available in Gimp 2.8 and is considerably faster than PostRotateCrop.scm. In Gimp 2.10, however, the Python version does not even show up although it is in the plug-ins folder. I have only tried what I use in 2.8 as I do not know if there is a new one for 2.10.

I'm still using version 2.8.22.
I had the answer to this but don't remember.
Which file do we get rid of to cure the problem of fonts searching slowly when gimp is opened (every time).
Thanks in advance for helping an old geezer.
