When using the color selector and the wand, if you click and drag(*) (instead of just clicking) this changes the threshold and shows you instantly what you have selected.

This has been around for a a while (at least since 2.8). Not really a secret since it is described in the doc, but who reads that 

To experiment, create an image, fill it with Plasma (Filters>Render>Cloud>Plasma), star one of the two tools and click+drag in it.

(*) right/down increases, left/up decreases.

Hi. I have a problem with Gimp. When I try it I am getting the error. I watched a lot of videos but could not reach the solution.

Whenever I try to write a curved line, I reach the reverse and uneven writing. And this text is far from the line.

   
   
   
   
   

How can I fix this?

Thanks...

I installed GIMP 2.10.0 on Windows 10. During installation, I did select the option to install Python support. But for some reason, Python support is not working at all.
I do have Python installed and can run it in a terminal window just fine. However, GIMP isn't showing the Python-Fu console or any of my Python scripts in the menus at all.

During startup, GIMP shows errors in the console for all of my Python scripts:

How do I add color to the circle when erasing part of a photo?

I'm reading gimp Docs. I attached the part of doc for the overlap in Hue-Saturation where how they explain about it. It was difficult to understand what they mean only by reading it. So I tested overlap for myself. I kindof get the concept of it. However I feel like something missing cause I don't understand what docs say about it. Would you tell me how to get the correct concept of overlap in Hue-Saturation dialog?

I just upgraded to GIMP 2.10 from 2.8 on my Linux Mint 18 system. However, when I try to re-install the GIMP Plugin Registry, I get dependency errors for various packages which Synaptic has earlier versions of, which clearly don't work with the 2.10 version.

Has anyone else encountered this problem and, if so, is there a solution?

Hi I am new to this forum. I have been using Gimp since 2009. 
I recently had my Wacom tablet break on me, so I went and  bought
a XP-Pen G640S temporary tablet/pen. Gimp does not recognize this
pen with any of the tools. It works fine in PS. So what gives?
Thanks in advance if you have any suggestions.

Went back to Gimp 2.8.22 because of the weird behaviour of the Gaussian Blur
Tried to open two images i made with Gimp 2.10 and got an error.

Nothing special about them: one is an image with simple text, the other was the test image for the Blur behaviour.

I'm testing automated tools. This function is in the "colors>auto>normalize". I tried this function to many photos. I don't see any difference in any of pictures I tried. Where should I focus on when I utilize this normalize automatic photo enhancement function?

Hi, im new to the forum.

Some of you may or may not have noticed a recent meme that's been popping around. It comes from the new Avengers: Infinity War movie.  I won't spoil it I will just say there is a scene where a particular person is "fading away"; bits of them slowing breaking away and disapearing from reality. Here are some examples of the meme.

There are already photoshop tutorials out there. I sort of figured out a way to do it but it's not entirely ideal. I'm sure there is a better way or additional steps we can take to improve it. I only tested it on a piece of text on a white background. Here is my process.

-Use Iwarp to stretch the object in a desireable shape.
-select a region close or a part of the region that hasn't been warped yet
-Filters>Distorts>Mosaic, and set it to a desired shape. (I used triangles) and set everything else as desired.
-repeat above on all the regions till it looks the way you want it.
-can help to first make big triangles then warp again and make smaller ones.

I am interested in seeing what anyone else can come up with.
