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.

Good day

I have used Gimp a few times to resize and edit images.
I installed Gimp 2.10 yesterday.
Using a brush, I left click in the corner and drag my mouse to the other corner and no line appears.
When I release my mouse the line suddenly pops up.
When I used 2.8 it worked fine.

Is this some setting I am missing?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Hi all, I've just installed 2.10.2 version and I'm unable to find "Blinds" plugin (though it's present in the plugins path).

Anyone knows how to enable it?

Thanks!

OK so, I start up GIMP 2.10 I like it, nice dark theme {perfect for pohot editing!!}

However, I get two notices that pop up when the program starts up; the first one is for my old version of G'MIC {which then was updated, but this error still shows up} saying the entry point wasnt found in the dll not4ed as "libwinpthread-1.dll"

The second error is for dds.exe extension I had downloaded for GIMp to edit some Skyrim mod coloration files to fit the character mood properly, This note is for the following dll "libstdc++-6.dll"

Is there a fix for either of these ?

By clicking on OK I cant still start up GIMP without anymore notices popping up. I can use the new brushes and tools just fine, its only those two errors that keep showing up when I start up the program.

Without either entry point located I cannot use open any DDS file, but I can somehow use the latest update to G'MIC just fine

Hello,

To publicate in an article, I need to enhance a Figure DPI to, at least, 1200 DPI.

I have an image that I got from another article and wanted to use in mine to substantiate the text, but, in the original article, the image is smaller than the size I need to use. When I try to resize it, the quality gets worse and the DPI is way below 1200. 

I saw posts saying that using GIMP I could solve this problem by going to the Image Scale tool and changing the X and Y resolutions. After doing it and changing to 1500, I tried to export the image as pdf (what turned to png in the end), but, looking in the properties, it showed 504x370 instead.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance

I just bought wacoom bamboo. I installed drivers and tablet is seen and works fine with system and included with drivers sketchpad (including pen sensitivity). I can draw with it in gimp, but i can't use brush dynamics because gimp doesn't recognizes my tablet. In Input Devices I see only Core Pointer. I don't know what to do.

With rich's youtube video, i was able to install Gimp 2.10.2 on my Win7 machine and keep 2.8, but now the addon-manager doesnt work.

   

I tried to clone  50% opaque layer on another layer. The result is the same as cloning 100% opaque layer. How do I clone translucent and semi-transparent image?

   

My OS is ubuntu 16.04. I use "unity tweak tool" for workspace settings. When I use "super + s" keyboard combination for alternating workspaces, gimp works fine.

However When I use mouse click for alternating workspaces, gimp won't receive any painting inputs. That means I can't paint on the canvas at all.

How do I fix this compatibility issue?
