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.

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!
