Quote:hello. I just bought a new tablet and here's what happened. I opened gimp with it but the option for the tablet was greyed out. It wouldn't use my tablet as the input device. So I restarted gimp several times., I installed the update, still nothing. I deleted the input option for my tablet hoping it would reconnect correctly, but now the tablet option is just gone, even after I uninstalled and reinstalled gimp. What can i do?

how to create a image that has the following features


- the background with some colors of nature - in our example a car is show
- the foreground - a special layer that is the "carrier" of some letters - and a text.

I’llI’m Hi. 
Hoping someone can help. 
I’ve been running Gimp 2.8 with no issue & I’m now trying to install 2.10 but on loading up I get the following message

gmic_gimp_qt.exe - entry point not found


The procedure point g_file_test could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\programme files\gimp2\bin\libgmodule-2.0-0.dll

Gimp still opens but I can’t seem to install GMIC at all. 

Any help will be very much appreciated. 

Thank you
Lisa

I uploaded something new and it looks blurry.

My guess is, its because not all lines are 100% aligned to the pixel grid....

There is an extension in Inkscape called 'Pixel Snap' thats supposed to fix this, but i either get an error for the whole thing or when just trying to align the straight lines, its all messed up afterwards.

Is there a way to fix the png in Gimp ?
I tried a High Pass Filter but this seems to remove all the antialiased pixels and makes the lines jaggy.

Or is this simply a resolution problem ?

This is frustrating, and I don't know what is causing it.

For most of the time, Drop-Shadow tool works just fine. But for whatever reason, after a certain amount of time, it will start having this problem where no matter which Layer I select for the tool, it will cause the entire Canvas to have a Drop-Shadow, expanding the size of the Canvas and exposing transparency underneath.

This has happened to me twice, so far, with two different project files.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you

I want to blend the edges of an image so that they have a smooth transition to transparent (alpha) like the top part of the image shown in the screen shot image attached (except all around each side of the soup can). I plan on printing this on green colored paper so that it prints less and less towards the edge so that the brown carpeting in the background gradually blends into the green of the paper. I can't seem to figure out how to do this with GIMP. I am using version 2.10.0. Here are the steps I've tried so far.

1. Open the image.
2. Under layers right click the selection and click add layer mask.
3. Click the gradient tool and draw a vertical line across the image.
4. Select background color (BG) in the gradient popup that appears.
5. Then under the layers tab right click the layer and select apply layer mask.

When I do step 5 the image goes back to normal again instead of how it appears in the attached screenshot which is what I want. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I also tried using feathering as described in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DH72ceOH2I, but this isn't quite what I want as I noticed it causes the soup can in the center to become distorted and its colors faded. I want the soup can to be unaffected and only the carpet in the background to be faded. Can anybody tell me how to do what I want with GIMP?

I use GIMP 2.8 on Debian Linux. In order to use GIMP 2.10, which is installed on my Linux Mint partition, I need GIMP-UFRAW, G'MIC and BIMP. Help shall be appreciated.

I just installed 2.10 and then I downloaded and installed the latest G'mic version but G'mic isn't showing up in my "Filters" list. I even restarted Gimp and it STILL ain't there! WTF. ACK!

Gimp doc says "When view>dot for dot is unchecked the image should be the real size if the image resolution is the same as the screen resolution.", according to this attachment.
   

I measured my monitor vertically. I divided it by 1440p, which is my display setting. The result ppi is approximately 109 ppi.

I opened a blank new image sized 640x480 with 109 ppi resolution.

Then I unchecked the "dot for dot" in view menu.

I measured the vertical size of the image. The size is smaller than 480/109. It should be 480/109.

So, I checked the "dot for dot" in view menu. Then the size is 480/109.

Why is this happen?

Hello,

My question might be silly, but on my GIMP 2.10 when I try to open or save or export a file, in the browser I can't go UP in hierarchy, so when I am in a folder, I am stuck in.

Also, When I click on a specific drive, no files appears on the right panel.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
