Hi guys

so i need to resize a the piece of a image i need, so i measure the image (20,5 x 16,72 Cm)  and create a new file with that size so i can paste and resize later, i proceed and the image end with (4,7 x 6 Cm) which is what i need it.
Now i try to paste my new resize image to the other file and the boody thing now measure 13,58 Cm.
So any idea why the image resize when pasting ?

Pretty much what it says. I was trying to make a pixellated image of a 2000x3000 photo yesterday, using a video tutorial. It requires duplicating the original image 3 times, then using the shear-tool, set the top layer X magnitude to 1223 then pixelleating and setting it to -1223 and adjusting opacity before moving to the middle layer and  doing similar things.

After the pixellation part on the first layer, the shear-tool just stopped doing anything when I hand-type the number. I've shut it down, restarted computer, uninstalled and reinstalled and it just doesn't do anything. I've tried it on a different image and still nothing. If I use the arrows, it works for now, but hand-inserting numbers just makes it appear it's calculating something, but in reality, it doesn't do anything.

I'm running GIMP on a Samsung-laptop (SF311) and a WIN10. Still using GIMP 2.8
Should I just keep my fingers crossed that nothing else gets broken or is there a way to fix this?

When I run GIMP-bin at /Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/MacOS, I get lots of error messages.

Eg.

I'm running 2.8.22 on Windows 10.

I've watched a few videos and done some Googling but still have some questions...

0 - First I should ask... is Gimp vector based or a bitmap program or what?

1 - Once I create/design a shape with the Path Tool and go on to use the Rectangle Tool to create and Stroke a rectangle... 

How can I "re-select" the shape created with the path tool so I can perform additional edits?

2 - When I use the Rectangle Tool to create a rectangle and Stroke it as a Solid Line... say 5 px...

Why are the vertical lines of the rectangle wider than the horizontal lines? 

(Image area = 1,000 by 1,000)

4 - When I create a closed path with the Path Tool and switch to edit in order to curve the nodes... I saw in one tutorial you could click the node to delete it... but I can't seem to make that work... 

4a - How to delete node on closed path?
4b - Why when I go back to design mode on the path it seems to work like edit mode in that I can click a node and curve it?
4c - I can only seem to move a node by going back to design mode... right?

Thanks for any help.

I tried holding ctrl + alt, but the tool didn't change.  What else can I try?

Gimp Version 2.8.22

Hi,

II produced a book cover with the text in a font whose name I cannot remember. Now I need to edit the text. In the meantime I have upgraded my computer and reinstalled GIMP (running Linux Mint). But this version of GIMP apparently does not recognise the font I used. I'd rather not change the font. Is there any way I can get a larger batch of fonts installed which might contain the one I used? Or any other suggestions?

Many thanks.

At first i thought this is simply a matter of finding the right Layermode, but nothing seems to result in white when blue and red are being overlayed.
Am i missing something obvious ?

   

Hello,

I'm all of a sudden not able to move or delete layers. I try to drag a layer below another one and it refuses to move there. I try to drag the layer into the trash bin, it won't go. I even tested this on new documents. I create a new document, create a couple of layers, try to drag the top one below the other, try to drag it to the trash bin, and it won't go. Restarting Gimp doesn't help.

Has anyone seen this before?

I'm an astrophotographer coming from Photoshop. My images are very large and when I make an edit in gimp I have to wait for the edit to complete before I can move on. What I would like to do is make a small image, do all of my edits, and apply those edits to the large image. Is there a script (or something else) available for this?
