I want to say thank you, a big THANK YOU to the team here at GIMP Forum; if it werent for this place my problems would still continue! So thanks to you guys, EVERYTHING WORKS LIKE IT SHOULD

You guys are awesome! I shall show off my stuff at some point but I am really thankful for GIMP because of several reasons

1: its freely available on the internet no cost whatsoever
2; Its easy on the computer system with the right settings {normally default is just fine}
3: it does stuff Photoshop cant do {red eye removal, displacement maps, etc}
4: its easy to learn even with the latest updates and versions

In short, GIMP is my GO TO product for art making, I use a tablet in place of a mouse and it works perfectly as hoped infact! Thankfully the guys here at GIMP Forum work hard to keep us informed and aid us in our problems, thanks so much guys for allowing me to download and enjoy making art with the best product out there!

NOTE: all those books out there on "GIMP for dummies" "GIMP for beginners" need to be updated now, the last GIMP book I read was for 2.4!!! Look how far we've come!

Hi all,

I'm experimenting with 2.10.2 from flathub on a machine running linux fedora 27.

Using 2.8 the clone tool with opacity set to 100% completely covers/occludes the area cloned to.  Using 2.10.2 the clone
tool with opacity set to 100% coverage seems to be *about* 50% translucent.  Same image.  Single layer.

I've searched through the 2.10 forum for a similar issue.  Can't find one and I'm reasonably confident this isn't something a developer would goof on.  So, it feels like I've missed a settings switch, but I've looked through edit/preferences and can't find anything appropriate.

Can anyone point me in a good direction?  Thanks.

Cloning
I am used (sort of) with photo shop, when I clone I left click and then control and I see where my initial click was on the image and then it moves as I am working the area I want - be it a brush or solid circle.  With Gimp I do not see it and after I go over an area and 'release' the LH button, then  the change is made. Some where my settings are wrong. Any clues,  Tim

Hi,

I'm trying to create a repeatable pattern using this approach:

https://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/plug-in-tile.html

However, when setting the size for the new image (150 x 150cm) GIMP creates a new image approx. 625 cm

Original image is 50 x 50cm or 5906px, 300dpi.

Any ideas suggesting what I'm doing wrong is highly appreciated.

The title says it all.

On the other hand, it is possible to browse the pdb in Script-Fu console.

Am I missing something?

I've read about the cage tool. It seems to be very convenient tool for manipulating images.

My Gimp stops whenever I finished the selection, just after the "cage transform" appears on the screen.

Is it just I having this issue?

I currently am trying run GIMP on Windows 10 using my xp-pen 16 tablet. 

The version of GIMP I am running is 2.10.2

For some reason the tablet works perfectly fine with other apps like chrome and MS paint but whenever I use the tablet with GIMP the cursor hugs the left-hand side of the screen. I've tried to change the input device settings but it seems like nothing is working. I've also attempted to disable windows ink using the registry editor.

that's a video of the error... unfortunately it doesn't seem to want to attach from twitter

Any ideas or help is appreciated.

Just installed on my laptop 2.1
There is no colour at all - except the photo.
No colours on the tool bars.
Suggestions?

New user here, just joined to ask this question, though I'm sure I'll have more in the future 

I know how to change the layer preview size using the little drop-down menu in the Layers window, but each layer preview maintains the shape of the document, not the shape of the layer boundaries, which in my case are a variety of sizes. But because I'm working on a document that is about 100 times taller than it is wide, the layer previews look like thin little strips, rendering them virtually useless. 

I would like to know how to change the layer preview to reflect the size of the layer boundary and show a "zoomed in" preview of the layer rather than the entire document.

Thanks in advance for all your help!


P.S.

I suppose I should mention that I did try Googling this issue for quite some time, but found no relevant discussions or instructions.
