My computer is very low on space on drive C:\ so the installation fails when uncompressing the files.
The only way i could get more space would be to take drastic measures and uninstall something important.

Hi, 

I'm receiving the warning that the installation file for GIMP 2.10 downloaded from 'https://www.gimp.org/' carries SMG.Heur!gen with it. 
Is anyone else receiving this alert when trying to install?

Thanks
Al

You guys experiencing this as well ?

I fill a selection with white, open the Gaussian Blur, play around with the values and everything looks fine but after i hit OK, the blur looks weird and has some kind of halo....

I have a circle that I want to add a small rectangle to the top and bottom. (Think like an apple stem). So I have the circle on one layer. 
I create new layer and make the "stem" with rectangle tool. 
So far so good.
Now I want my "stem" to be identical on the bottom. So I want to duplicate layer nd then flip the new layer so it' now on bottom.

My problem is this...
When I flip the new layer, the 1st "stem" layer flips also!
Now I have 2 on the bottom and none on top. I'm pulling my hair out!

Why does the other (not highlighted) layer flip also?
More importantly, how do I stop this from happening? 

Thanks in advance,

Hello, bit of a newbie here. 

I am trying to add keyword metadata in GIMP (2.10, on a Windows 10 laptop) for microstock work. I've found the metadata menu, added description and keywords etc in the appropriate boxes - but when i export to jpg it doesn't seem to be there.

If i open the file using irfanview and check the IPTC, there's nothing there. Shutterstock has picked up the title but nothing else (picks up the keywords I add with irfanview though); 123RF manages to find the keywords but not title or description. 

Am I doing something wrong or is it just the quirks of various sites and/or programs? Any suggestions for a foolproof method?!

Thanks!

I'm trying to get my graphics tablet to work with 2.10. It was working with 2.8, but the update (with it's uninstall process) must have deleted my settings and I'm having issues setting it back up.

• I'm using a Huion H85L tablet (if that matters)
  
• Input Devices has the mode set to Screen
  
• Device Status correctly identifies the tablet is in use when I press down
  
• Brush Dynamics is set to Pressure Opacity
  

I have intuos tablet. I mapped a button for the "fit image in windows". The shortcut is "ctrl+shift+j". When I push the button on intuos the picture fits in windows, but sometimes the image is a little out of the center. Do you know why?

I'm testing how fonts are working in gimp. I want to install a lot of fonts. Does anyone know where to get fancy fonts and to make fancy fonts? Is it okay to use downloaded fonts for my art-work, let's say for youtube or facebook? Thanks for reading.

I'm testing the text tool, especially the "from right to left" in the context menu. It doesn't do anything. It is the same status before clicking the menu. What am I missing here?

Hi all,

I'm a newbie to gimp, going fast through the learning curve and (more or less) getting done what I need done.

However, one point where I'm failing dramatically is in the quality of the exports. I look at gimp and the image looks great, but when I export it into either jpg/png/whatever, try to set all settings to maximum quality and the result is still not optimal:

Pixel is 1100x680 (From memory) which I was given as the ideal size for facebook.

Any advice as to how to get a better resolution?

Thanks
