I am new to Gimp and its taking a while to get used to it. I have managed to learn how to wrap text around a circle, however it is baffling me when sometimes the TEXT THAT GOES AROUND THE PATH IS EITHER OUTSIDE THE ELLIPSE CIRCLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ELLIPSE CIRCLE OR OUTSIDE THE ELLIPSE CIRCLE. I have watched many tutorials and not one of them mentions this...

Is there anyone on here who could help ?

Hello,

I am editing a 1200 DPI 24 bit scan using the "Divide Scanned Images" script.  It is a scan of a stamp album page and when I run the script, it finds all of the individual stamps on the page, divides (crops/cuts) them out and saves each individually to a JPEG file.

My problem is that it is saving all of the individual stamp images as 600 DPI so I am losing 1/2 of my granularity.

I went into the script and found where it was saving the files as 600x600 and changed it to 1200x1200;However, it really isn't maintaining the integrity of the original 1200 DPI scan.

Does anyone know how to be able to maintain the 1200 DPI integrity?

Thanks,
Scott

Hello.

I haven't worked with GIMP before, so please be gentle.

I currently have a psd file made in Clip Studio, which has one of its layers - Layer 18 to be precise - marked as a 'Clipping Mask' on top of Layer 13.
However, when the file is imported in GIMP, Layer 18 is rendered as a separate layer, which throws the colors off.

Source file:

(warning, 20 Mb file)

This is what it looks like when loaded in GIMP:

How do I get the file to load and/or export correctly (i.e. as a png file in the attachment) when loading it in GIMP?

Desired result:

Hello,

I've been struggling with a rather simple task for a while.
I do have an image which I want to scale in such a way, that the center of the image is less or not affected at all by the scaling than the edges.
I'll try to give a simple example with pixels, since I don't really know how to describe the effect:

1. We have an image with a 5 pixel width
2. We scale the image horizontally
3. The center column of pixels remains unaffected (not stretched)
4. The -1 and 1 columns of pixels get doubled (stretched)
5. The -2 and 2 columns of pixels get tripled (stretched more)

Is this achievable with Gimp and if so, can someone please give me a clue how to do that?

Many thanks,
Bobby

Like this, I tried doing it using this but I had to merge the layers to remove the ones outside the square. Then theres the ugly red and blue (for some reason) outline of the shape that i cant remove

Bonus question:
Why is my fuzzy select tool / wand only showing up as i click, not still showing up after like it used to? Like the outline only comes up when i hold down the mouse but disappears after so idk what its selecting

GIMP 2.8 and earlier had a useful tool, reached through FX-FOUNDRY -> COLOURS -> GREY POINT. I cannot find anything like it in GIMP 2.10.3, which I have in AppImage form. Nor do I know if the FX-Foundry collection is available for the new version. [I am on Debian 9]

Hello GIMP enthusiasts!

I am currently teaching a course where I had to learn GIMP to help my students color their artwork. (I have been using Photoshop for many years but in this new school, they use GIMP)

I have to say I have found GIMP is a great program, except for a glitch or I am not sure what that is anymore. You see in some computers where the program has been installed, the toolbox shows correctly and in some others the tool book is just a bunch of dots that are fixed on the top left part of the window.

If you click on the dots you can see which one belongs to which tool, which I find very impractical. I have seen the same tutorials over and over and I have tried the Ctrl + B command to bring back the toolbox, the Edit-Preferences-Window management-restore to default
and nothing works. I close and re-open the program and the damn dots are still there.

Lastly I tried re-installing the program and that did not work either. I am more or less desperate about this frustrating problem.
Anyone that can help me out here? Has anyone encountered the same problem?

Gimp can't seem to open some of the texture files that are in Fallout 4, apparently because of the compression format which I think comes from DX11.  (My DDS viewer program can't open 'em either.)  Is there any workaround for this?  I read that there's updated plugins for Photoshop and Paint.net, but I couldn't find anything for GIMP.

I am trying to correct a photo where there was too much bright white reflecting off spectacles.

 So I've been smudging the dark frames over into the white area.

 Works quite well but I notice that over time I lose the color.  That's the way smudging works, I guess.  It takes the first pixels and mixes them with the next I think, doesn't it,  so they get 'diluted'.

 Any simple way I can stop or slow down this dilution and persist with a color for a while?

 You can see here how far I've got...   Bit messy but it only has to be a tiny visa pic..

 I'm not doing well trying to insert the pic... perhaps I'll insert a link...
