Hello folks,

I use the shortcuts ALT GR-[ and ALT GR-] (WIN) for enlarging and reducing brushes of all kinds.

Unfortunately, the whole thing happens in 1 pixel steps. I would like to change this and increase it to 3 to maybe 5 pixels. Can I put this anywhere?

I searched in vain in the preferences.

Thank you

PS: I use Gimp 2.10 RC1 if this is important for the matter.

   

Hi everyone,

I keep receiving this error when trying to open a particular JPEG image. All other images open fine, just this one doesn't work. Has anyone ever experienced this before and has found a solution? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Amber

I make 300dpi JPG-s from CorelDraw. After export from CorelDraw I check the resolution once again in the Win Resource Management from file's properties and it's 300dpi. When I open this JPG in GIMP and check the Properties from Picture> (or Image>) Properties, the resolution is 72x72PPI. Why? I have done this 10 times to check it.

I have configured in GIMP program properties that a new document will be 300x300DPI. But this doesn't help.

If I open a photograph taken with 300dpi cellphone camera in Gimp, the resolution seems to remain 300DPI.

So, somehow my 300 DPI CorelDRaw Graphics are changed to 72PPI. Frustrating!

I'm working on a project where I am blending a couple different photos of some landscape into a single image.

The problem I've having with this is properly color-matching many of these elements, particularly with regards of atmospheric haze.  Some of these mountains and hills were taken from different distances, and as a result some have more atmospheric haze than others, given them more or less of a blue tint.
To get my image to look right, I need to match these properly between each other.  Some of these I need to add that blue haze, and for some of them I'd like to remove it.

I thought adding the haze would be easy; I thought I'd be able to just add a new layer of just blue and just adjust the opacity.  But that didn't come out right; it didn't look like atmospheric haze, it looked like I just painted it blue.  Maybe I'm just a little off and need to use the right shade of blue, or maybe there is something else I'm missing.  Either way, I would appreciate some pointers.

I'm also curious if it is possible to remove atmospheric haze.  I tried adjusting the color balance to pull some of the blue out of a picture, but then it just looked like I was painting it yellow.  I have other pictures of the exact same kind of mountains, so I have samples of exactly what shades of green and brown and such that the various parts need to be.  Is there any way I can just automatically match the colors?  In fact, that would be really useful because they I can blend it other pictures where the plant-life is a totally different shade of green, or the rocks are a different color, etc.

So does anyone have any thoughts on how I can properly match the colors between these different photographs?

Ive been playing with the path tool over the last few days, and was feeling fairly confident in its use. Abstract curvey shape creation..check! Then I hit a wall of frustation when I tried to manipulate the shapes. Flipping them just kept cutting parts of the image out. 

I was going to post a general distress message and whilst running through the process I was using... 

It just clicked that the option I need appears in the Tool Options itself. Select the paths.. and were off! Thats what I wanted it to do 4 hours ago! Flip, rotate, reshape. 

Elation! More things to play with!

Feeling smug. And it only took 4 hours of puzzled muttering. 

Hi all, so I recently got into GIMP 2 and went for brushes and saw the Cartography Brushes Pack for a RP map link below.
https://eragon2589.deviantart.com/art/Ca...n2589&qo=0

After placing them in the "Users\Accname\.gimp-2.8\brushes" I loaded up GIMP to use but instead of them being mountain each dot that drew the mountain was increated in size like this https://i.imgur.com/ucE67Py.png instead of amountain out the the pack. I reinstalled the pack but the same thing happened. This goes for a few other brushes I got aswell not all.

Please help

Every time I try to attached file I get an error message

Hi there


I started working/exploring with GAP using version 2.8.22 and MacOS Sierra 10.12.6
All goes fine until I looked for the video in the menu bar (willing to record my frames into an avi file).
It doesn't exist !
read somewhere that in this new version it's supposed to be in <Image>/Video/Encode/Master Encoder
Unfortunately it's not the case (at least for me).

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I am very new to GIMP. I have just installed v 2.8.22. I have immediately hit a problem. I was just trying to get familiar with how it worked by entering some text. When I did this I noticed that the only font that was being offered was 'sans'. There was no drop down selection to give me other choices.

I have attached a copy of the screen I am seeing.

I am on windows 10. I've looked in the folder users/(user name)/.gimp-2.8/fonts and there is no file present.

Can anybody advise me why I don't appear to be getting any fonts to use. Without these the software is pretty useless.

For an ordinary user, at the moment using linux (I use Kubuntu 16.04), I can install either a Gimp 2.8.22 or a Gimp 2.9.9 but not both, since in linux they share the same directory locations.

One way round that as mentioned frequently here, is the regular Gimp 2.8.22 installed and a separate (portable) appimage for Gimp 2.9.9

Looking at the future, Kubuntu 18.04 with its newer packages will run Gimp 2.10  What if Gimp 2.8.22 is also required?

An alternative system to appimage is one called flatpak. This is the system that gimp.org in their wisdom (sometimes questionable wisdom) has gone for.

Does it work - Yes.

This a Kubuntu 18.04 VM and Gimp 2.10 https://i.imgur.com/rA6cHAl.jpg

The same VM running the Gimp 2.8.22 flatpak https://i.imgur.com/yueveYR.jpg

Downsides, lots and lots of cr*p installed just in order to run that gimp flatpak.
