Windows 10 and Gimp 2.10
Having trouble printing photos. The first one I printed in sepia, colour was okay and the image was sharp but it had lots of vertical lines in the print. Then printing out the same image again the print came out very grainy and in greyscale although the vertical lines had disappeared. Now I can't get it to print out a high quality image. Grateful for any advice and suggestions.

I was running gimp 2.8 with a script fu mod and a plug-in mod, both ran perfect. Updated to Gimp 2.10.4 and there are still running with no issue. Then I got a new laptop. Installed 2.10.4 again and installed the mossback again but only the script fu worked. Checked all file locations and that gimp was pointing to the right directory location and still wouldn’t work. So uninstalled 2.10 and cleaned the registry, then I install 2.8 and installed plugins and script and it worked great. I then installed 2.10 but again plugin wouldn’t work. 

Running Windows 10 plugin is “add-multiple_guides_plug-mod.py”

Tried installing GIMP 2.10.4 in Ubuntu's Wine (Windows 10).
Started fine but, when I goto procedure browser it just hangs.
Any idea why?
What I really wanted to do was added a plug-in folder under preferences/folders/plug-ins and added Desktop on Ubuntu and see if can run scripts that are just tossed in my Desktop, but that didn't load so I tried looking at procedure browser and it just goes dark like its' busy and not reacting to me at all.

I am trying to make passport photos for three different people.

And I think to finish up with an image suited for your typical print shop where they print on 4" x 6" paper and usually get about eight passport pics on the one card.

So I've been making the passport pics from different photos all supposedly crafted to be of the required size (48mm x 33mm in this case ) and I have finished up with the 'passport pics'  with these details according to GIMP:

1.   737 x 1072 pixels.   4" x 5.9"             180 x 180 ppi
2.  689 x 1003 pixels   3.82" x 5.57"        180 x 180 ppi
3.  630 x 918 pixels     3.5"  x 5.1"            180 x 180 ppi

So it hasn't worked out.  They're all different.

So am I using the wrong method?

Or can this all be fixed at this stage?

Right now I can't even cut and paste them successfully onto a new canvas of 4" x 6".   Can paste them on but they're too big and I can't move them around to tuck them into the corner.  Hence I never even get past the first one.

The method is to calculate the pixels per mm by measuring the head height in pixels right there in GIMP and dividing that number by the required head height in mm as specified.  (30mm)

I then know the pixel dimensions of the rectangle I need to cut out because I just multiply those pixels/mm by the height and width (48 x 33).

Sounds alright.   But it's not working too good.

Unless it can all be fixed now.

Or is there an entirely different way to go about it?

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum so apologies in advance.

I have no Library Folder in my Preferences (! trust me, I'm sure I've looked carefully) and I wish to import my Mac fonts from its Library folder.  How do I re-instsate the Gimp Folder.  I'm not a 'coder' or deeply software literate (but am a hands-on Mac user for countless years) so an idiots guide would be most appreciated.

Hello,

I'm trying to improve the following photo:


  IMG_1488 - v - L.xcf (Size: 938.31 KB / Downloads: 674)

My camera had too much haze on the lens that day, causing the image to not be as crisp as it could be. I've improved it somewhat by increasing the contrast and the saturation a bit, but it could still use some more improvement. Other than increasing the contrast and saturation, does anyone know how to make images more crisp?

I'm trying to make an acceptable passport photo.  There's 'edge shadow' - you know?  Subject too close to the  back wall when the photo was taken and one side has a little shadow outlining it.

How to remove that?

I notice that there are 2 new scaling algorithms. These are LoHalo and NoHalo. How exactly do these work? I've found nothing on the internet about them (for example academic papers on image scaling algorithms), so I assume that they are exclusive to the Gimp software, have been invented directly by Gimp's developers. So I'm hoping somebody on these forums can explain exactly what calculations it performs. For example, are they based on the Cubic algorithm? Or maybe based on a Sinc function? Or are they based on some kind of AI, that "sees" the image in the same way the human brain sees it, and so actually attempts to make a reasonable effort to scale the image based on what would look the most natural to the human brain?

Hello...

I need to draw some images for LCD screen used in embedded controller.
So I open gimp and set 128x64 pixels image and draw it.
The image on computer screen is perfect but when I upload to the embedded screen it's ugly as aspect ratio is wrong. So how to change aspect ratio for preview on computer to mimic that for embedded lcd? The LCD is 128 x 64 pixels but it's near square.
So I need to draw on 128x64 matrix but somehow squeze image from left and right on preview. Is that possible at all?

Thanks.

Hi everyone! I have a pretty big image (it's a logo) and its dimensions are 6900x2500. I am trying to shrink it down to a width of about 500 but it always comes out pixelated. Is there anyway to shrink this image without losing quality? Thank you very much!
