I selected a part of an image using rectangular select tool. I did shift+R to rotate the selected part. I adjusted parameters in the rotate dialog box appropriately. I chose the selection in tool option. Finally I clicked the rotate button in rotate dialog box. The result is only rotating the marching ant not the image itself. I don't understand.

To make it work, I did all things above paragraph except I chose the layer in tool option. This time the selected part of the image rotated as I adjusted in the rotate dialog box. However the rotated image is cut off the outside of originally selected area. I don't understand.

How do I resolve this issue?

Hi buddies, I'm new on the forum. I'm from Spain so sorry for my English.

Today I update GIMP 2.8.22 to 2.10.0 but when I start it shows me some errors while it's loading for checking new complements.

The first one is about the plugin Save for the web (webexport.exe), I deleted it from C:\Users\xxx\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins but anyway show me the message error, "The application can't start correctly (0xc000007b). Really I full deleted this folder C:\Users\xxx\.gimp-2.8

The second is about the plugin G'MIC (gmic_gimp_qt.exe). GIMP message error says "Doesn't found the entry point of..."

1. g_file_test in C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\libgmodule-2.0-0.dll
   
2. g_getenv in C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\libgobject-2.0-0.dll
   

Im kind of confused about this.....

is:

C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Gimp\2.10\XXX

(with XXX being Gradients, Fonts, Pattern, etc)

the new Gimp Userfolder ??

It used to be:

C:\Users\me\.gimp-2.10\XXX

I had planned to keep both versions, just to see that the windows installer from Gimp.org automatically removes previous versions of Gimp.

I made a parametric brush by using brush editor. It was named "untitled" automatically. So, I changed the name to "starFrDtc". Then I refreshed the brush lists.

Here is the issue. I went to the folder for the brush in the terminal. Its name was still "untitled". I restarted my ubuntu system. Its name is still "untitled".

How do I change the name really?

Some notes and observations for ubuntu users, in particular 'buntu 16.04 'xenial'

Installing flatpak (All done in a Kubuntu 16.04 VM)

add a flatpak ppa, update and install

This is the only photo I have of my dear uncle who died in a truck accident 15 years ago. I am a total newbie to Gimp. Where would I begin to try to improve this photo? Especially would like to remove the state seal that overshadows much of his face. If someone wants to do it for me I am not complaining :-) Thanks for any help or recommendations you can give.

Using Mac OS x Yosemite 10.10.5. Downloaded and installed 2.8.22 after first removing 2.8.14. 

1. Filter drop down menu shows no filters 
2. Have tried to load scripts (e.g. FX Foundry) and plug-ins (Beautify), among others, several different times. Have done so both through Gimp Preferences and directly into the correct Application Support subfolders (e.g. "Scripts, "Plugins") but none appear in any drop down menu in the app itself. 
3. Have no "Refresh" button anywhere in the Preferences Scripts or Plugin folders  in this version, only "Reset" (reset to default vs. refresh).        

Have spent hours troubleshooting. Any help/ideas will be appreciated. Thanks in advance

In Gimp 2.8 my tool options dock to the toolbox alright but, as soon as I click on the toolbox, the options disappear.  What could be the problem?

Hello everyone,

I have 2 question:

1. Is it possible to measure the distance between layers, similar like in Invision? If not, how can I check eg distance between paragraphs? http://ifotos.pl/z/qnaexrw

2. Is it another option to select layers? Because now I'm using Move but, sometimes, if a layer is small, I have a problem with choosing a specific layer. maybe I can mark it in some other way?

Thanks!
