This attachment is in the blur/sharpen section in the gimp doc. The last sentence is very ambiguity. Anyone knows what that means exactly?
I painted on the original image, then it is just the painting function, of course. What am I missing here?

In 2.8.2 I made heavy use of the "value" mode for the paintbrush to do shading on layers with alpha channels.  This would let me shade only the actual painted areas of the layer without altering the transparent areas whatsoever.  In 2.10, Gimp now edits the transparency as well as the colored pixels, meaning that I can no longer use this brush to shade the objects on a given layer without also darkening the transparency around those objects in an unwanted way.

Is there any way to set the brush so that when in value mode it only alters the pixels that have been painted and not the transparency?

EDIT: I just discovered the "legacy" setting, which lets me get around this. I assume this is the only way to get what I'm looking for?
-Thanks

There is an option named "Limit line width" in the distort>engrave filter category. Anybody can easily see the difference when it is applied to an image. However I don't quite sure why the name is "limit line width". Does anyone know what the name of this option implies?

Hi
New to this forum so please forgive any dum questions.

I installed 2.10 last evening and whilst generally pleased I have noticed that I'm unable to open either C: or D: from the file open menu.  I see favorites and recently used but cannot open the root level.  If I enter as a location the full path to the image there is no problem but unable to navigate through the explorer.

Previous versions 2.8 etc and there is no issue.



Any ideas?

When using the color selector and the wand, if you click and drag(*) (instead of just clicking) this changes the threshold and shows you instantly what you have selected.

This has been around for a a while (at least since 2.8). Not really a secret since it is described in the doc, but who reads that 

To experiment, create an image, fill it with Plasma (Filters>Render>Cloud>Plasma), star one of the two tools and click+drag in it.

(*) right/down increases, left/up decreases.

Hi. I have a problem with Gimp. When I try it I am getting the error. I watched a lot of videos but could not reach the solution.

Whenever I try to write a curved line, I reach the reverse and uneven writing. And this text is far from the line.

   
   
   
   
   

How can I fix this?

Thanks...

I installed GIMP 2.10.0 on Windows 10. During installation, I did select the option to install Python support. But for some reason, Python support is not working at all.
I do have Python installed and can run it in a terminal window just fine. However, GIMP isn't showing the Python-Fu console or any of my Python scripts in the menus at all.

During startup, GIMP shows errors in the console for all of my Python scripts:

I'm reading gimp Docs. I attached the part of doc for the overlap in Hue-Saturation where how they explain about it. It was difficult to understand what they mean only by reading it. So I tested overlap for myself. I kindof get the concept of it. However I feel like something missing cause I don't understand what docs say about it. Would you tell me how to get the correct concept of overlap in Hue-Saturation dialog?
