I am trying to trace a curve using the path tool, which you can just about see in the image. I have also attached the xcf file.

To get an accurate trace I found that I needed to make a path with several segments. It is quite difficult to get the segments to join up smoothly without a kink in the curve where they join. Is there an easy way to do this? Or a better way of tracing the curve?

I just downloaded Gimp (and Adobe Bridge) after research and recommendation from a family member, as Picasa is no longer supported and I need to sort and organise about 10,000 photos (including several thousand to be scanned from original photos). I like the idea of the Resynthesizer function to remove unwanted objects, but ...
. Downloaded Resynth plugins, didn't work. Got error message when trying to use it.
. Repeated above, several times, deleting each set of plugins before trying again. 
. Read about Script-fu Heal-Selection plugin. Tried that. Worked, but REALLY slow and no variables to adjust like the tutorial I watched.
. Don't know what Python is, but a page I read said the plugin uses it, so I downloaded it, then re-downloaded the Resynth plugins.
. Resynth now shows in Filters>Map, but none of the plugins (especially Heal-Selection) show in Filters>Enhance!

I also tried the clone and brush tools, but when I set the sample area, the + appears only until I move the mouse to start cloning and then the sample circled area moves as I move the mouse, which didn't happen in the tutorial either!

HELLLLLLP. I'm not overly computer literate when it comes to the backend side, but I'm a pretty intelligent person and can usually work my way through. However, after over 5 hours of failure, I'm about ready to pack the lot in and go back to good old, discontinued, Picasa. 

PS. I'm using Windows 7

I'm having trouble getting the resynthesizer plug-in functions to work in a new installation (OS updated on a new computer).

The set-up is GIMP 2.8.16 on Linux Mint 18.2 Cinnamon 64-bit, using the plug-ins from the Ubuntu package gimp-plugin-registry 7.20140602ubuntu2 via synaptic. Python is 2.7.12.

There are a number of likely-looking plug-ins in ~/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins, all marked executable (755 permissions):

I'm using gimp to create digital art-most of the art is abstract and full of colours.I thought to start selling digital art on Etsy-I sell digital file and people print it by themselves. I'm aware that CMYK is the printing standard and gimp doesn't work well with it. My question is if I work with gimp and save jpg files with RGB 300 dpi-if it will be ok when people will print it-or it's a bad idea and from a professional point of view I should think of purchasing photoshop? I'm worried about the difference of colours of what people see on the screen and what comes in the printing and also resolutions issues.what would be your advice to me? My wish is to go with gimp because I know it well and it is free.

I am looking for some help developing this logo. I cannot manage to get all the shapes made overtop of the font. Can anyone help me do this? Attached are the design idea rough drawing and the font already there. Thanks!

I'm using a graphics tablet (Huion H610pro) with gimp (2.8.22) and I am having problems with getting pen pressure to affect brushstroke. Pen pressure/line thickness works fine on the tablet's  trial window. Pen pressure also affects brushstroke opacity in gimp when 'Pressure Opacity' is checked in Dynamics Options in the paintbrush tool options. But I don't want to vary opacity, I want to vary thickness. So I have made two new dynamics, one by creating a new dynamic and the other by editing a copy of an existing dynamic. In both of them the size/pressure box is checked and no other box is checked. The ratio graph is the usual straight line from minimum size/minimum pressure to maximum size/maximum pressure. Neither of those two new dynamics works. Any suggestions?

I got a book by James Carren recently and it talks about non-destructive editing I am assuming he is refering to photoshop. Can you do adjustment layers in gimp? There was another type of layer that had to be copied over because it couldn't be in an adjustment layer it was for highlights and shadows adjustments. Can you do that in gimp too?

What I mean by non-destructive editing is that if you decide you don't want a certain correction but it is behind a ton of other corrections in the history it doesn't remove the others as well.

Where is there an tutorial on how to do this in gimp?

Hello,

Is it possible to add a trail to text like this:

Hi

i have a question about a jpg setting in GIMP : "use estimated quality" or "use original picure quality settings"

If I change jpg quality (90 to 95  by exemple), choose optimize and progressive options, what about "use estimated quality" ?

thanks
