Hey I have a question for more knowledgable digital artists about brush lag in GIMP 
I am working in GIMP right now to paint and I had done a few small designs at 1.5"x1.5" with GIMP running perfectly. However when I opened a 8.5"x11" canvas and used brushes with sizes in the hundreds instead of the teens I got extreme brush lag when I applied pressure with only size and opacity being based on pressure.
I have 16GB of ram and a 3.8Hz CPU. 
Should I just do smaller art or is there something I can do to fix this?


Thanks!

I am having trouble making a brush.  I use Copy or Copy visable and Paste as but keep getting errors that stop the process. I do not know what this means.  Is there something I need to do to correct this?  I have Windows 10, 64 bit.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

   

Soooooooooooooooo, how do you find python fu filters that you have added to your (my name) plugins folder? I downloaded the zip file rich added and unzipped it all to my gimp and cannot find any.

The effect I want is to pixelise an image based on mosaic tiles. I can do this manually using a separate mosaic layer, selections and ofn-average-fill (https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-to...s/scripts/) however this is time consuming. Any ideas on a better way to do this?

I just made a gradient having eight (8) segments, but I want only seven (7) because the gradient consists of the colors of the rainbow. The problem is, whenever I delete the last segment, the color that was on its left, fills the void, resulting in it being twice the width of the other colors in the gradient. How do I make all the colors have exactly equal widths?

Hello all!  First post here so I hope this make sense.

I am trying to resize images to the highest multiple of 4 (unless it already is a multiple of 4).

My script runs without any errors but does absolutely nothing to the images in the directory.
I tested out individual elements of the script in the GIMP console (or whatever it is called) and the ones I could test work fine.

I feel like I'm missing something simple.

Any ideas?  The script is below. 

Hi there I wonder if someone  would be kind enough to answer this question for me as I am struggling to get the hang of Gimp.

I am sure there is another way of doing this, however I have just come across the measuring tool so I can measure things in order to get everything in proportion like text..So i am measuring a line with the measuring tool however it seems that I can only measure one line at a time rather than have multiple lines. You must be able to get multiple lines ?

Sorry for asking a silly question...

Every time I load Gimp I have to 'OK' a list of 9 missing libraries; It's making start up very slow and tedious.
I've tried reporting this, maybe I'm being thick, but I can't find Gimp in Bugzilla.
Anyone else having this problem?

The libraries are:
libfftw3-3.dll
libtif3.dll
libtiff3.dll
libgdkglext-win32-1.0-0.dll
liblqr-1-0.dll
libffttw-3.dll
libpng15-15.dll
pcre.dll

I have Gimp 2.8.22, and the recent demise of my old computer meant that I had to transfer to a new one running Windows 10. Everything seems fine, but every time I open Gimp the 'dock' on the right is wider.

   

Everything docked at A stays in place, but the width of B gets smaller and smaller as C keeps growing. I would guess it is something to do with area D, which appears to be sitting in uncontrolled screen space. I have tried reading the guides, but they seem to skip lightly over what is actually meant by a dock.

Can anyone help?

Hi.
 I need a geek. First off I have to admit I'm no techie. I'm a newbie with using Windows 10 after many years using windows 7. THere are many things i just don't understand yet about W10, but one of the first things I need to install is GIMP with G'mic.
Gimp downloaded fine and then I downloaded G'Mic. I went to the preferences folder - plug-ins to show GIMP the path to G'mic, which you can see in the image I'm posting. Everything seemed to go well until I tried to use G'mic. G'mic started to load but then this happened. I hoped it was just a small glitch but after closing and retrying several times, & uninstalling and re-installing both GIMP & G'mic, I still got this response every time.

 I hope someone knows what I did wrong and can help me get back in the swing. Thank you
