I have some images with jagged edge; I made the background transparent and it was contrasting so I could leave little of the color fading in the result and the border not being gradual is obvious. I'd like to have the jagged edge smooth.

My first thought was anti-aliasing but I'm not sure GIMP have that and I wouldn't know what the best or most efficient way to go about with that. I did a search and the only relevant page I found was Fixing Jagged Image Edges with Gimp | Jafty Interactive Web Development, which I wonder if there's a better method.

Thank you kindly for your help

I never bothered with promoting my blog, so i dont have many followers or daily hits (between 50-80 a day seems the average after 4,5 years).

Yesterday i posted a link to a new Inkscape tutorial on the Inkscape subreddit as an experiment to see how much traffic that would generate.
That gave me 25 hits in 18 hours so far.

I dont know, i use reddit for discussing movie and television stuff. It doesnt appear like a good place for helping with graphics design problems to me, but younger people seem to prefer it compared to forums.

I tried G+ for a while and found it awful. Never bothered with Facebook.
Do people use it as a forum substitute ?

I guess youtube is the biggest thing for getting content out, but i cant see myself investing in the tech and im not used to speaking english, so that might sound a little odd....
Also not sure about the future of YT. It seems since the adpocalypse, YT is on the decline and something different will appear at some time.
Or net neutrality will change it all.

Opinions ?

I have Gimp 2.9.6 std. (larger install file) .

1. How is that version different than other one ?
   
   
2. Where to download 2.9.8 std ?
   
   
3. Where to put G'MIC in 2.9.8 release? In GIMP 2.9\share\gimp\2.0 there is no plugin folder.
   
4. STD version doesn't have console pop up when GIMP is active. General version has it.

Hi,

I'm relatively new to GIMP but I know my way around the basics.

I have a layered image containing some raster images and some text which I want to reduce in size for print.

If I use the Scale Image command the text gets corrupted as it is scaled as a raster rather than reducing the font size. When I select it with the text tool I get a pop-up as shown:



If I scale the layers individually and reduce the font sizes accordingly to get rid of the text corruption the layout of everything moves around so I cannot mantain the exact image I want.

How can I reduce the size of the image but ensure that rather than a raster resize of the text it reduces the font size by the correct amount? This way I should avoid the corruption and maintain my layout.

Thanks!

¨plz Help
here the code:

but ERROR : eval: unbound variable REPLACE

:-( , in gimp 2.8 its work , no with gimp 2.9.8 :-(

Hello everyone,

I've been able to install and use everything on LINUX MINT , including gimp is unreachable and extremely good to work on, and Gimp is really very good ...

Have been crazy days, but finally I am very happy with my choice ..

This work is based on the music of George Harrison WAH-WAH

I did it because I'm finally using Gimp on Linux Mint and no longer need to use Win10 and not even Ps

(Wah-wah)
Now, I don't need no wah-wah
And I know how sweet life can be
If I keep myself free of
(Wah-wah)  
I don't need no
(Wah-wah)

Hi everyone.

I'm writing a plugin to automate some processes. I'm sticking to Python because I've had issues with C and Scheme.

Consider an image opened in GIMP with a zoom large enough to cause only part of the image to be seen. So, you can scroll the viewport around to see other parts of the image.

I want to know what code I have to use to know which pixels are visible, so I can add a layer to the image to a position where it will be visible in my current zoom setting.

I'm using GIMP 2.8.20 on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

Thanks in advance.

Quick question about Inkscape, the tiled clones dialogue and the coordinate system it uses.

Lets say i clone a square 10 Rows x 10 Columns, with a
Shift Y of 10% per Row and Shift X of 10% per Column.

I also want a stair effect per column of one square:
Shift Y per Column 100 + 10 for the gap compensation = 110%.

It works as expected, but when i look at the coordinate system, i get the impression something is wrong.

   

Negative displacements are to the left and to the bottom.

   

By that logic, i should have used:
Shift Y -10% per Row
and
Shift Y -110% per Column

But that gives me something entirely different...

Where is the mistake in my thinking ??
Or is my coordinate system the wrong way around ?

   

When I open my curve tool I find there is a vertical line with the label 'x:193' where the number is a position on the horizontal axis. This position is never the same i.e. it varies from one image to another. I've tried to deduce what it means but am at a loss. Gimp context help provides no clues. Any suggestions?

Sometimes when I open files I get the following dialog:

   

Does that mean for example if I opened file with Epson RGB Profile, I have to convert to RGB to work with it and then at the end of my project convert back to Epson RGB?

Are there CMYK profiles that files have? Like if I open design for print with CMYK profile, must I convert it to RGB to work with it or I can work without conversion?

The goal is to have completed project print-ready.

Thanks
