I use gimp primarily for editing textures for game models, and I've been having problems exporting with a transparent background, no matter what i do the background always comes out either black or white. I've followed a bunch of tutorials around the alpha channels and exporting with a transparent background and nothing seems to work. The background shows up in all image viewers I've tried and in vtfedit, the program I need to get the images to work in the source engine.

For my purposes I need everything but a small part of the image file to be completely transparent otherwise you get the problem I've been having where half the model goes either black or white. Any chance someone can tell me exactly how they successfully create images with fully transparent backgrounds? Failing at this has eaten up far to much of my time now, so any help would be much appreciated. Running gimp GIMP 2.8.18 in case that's in any way relevant.

Hi everyone,

I started using GIMP a few weeks ago and I'm loving it. I was looking to change an image size and not have it distort. I found that other versions have a liquid rescale tool and my version does not. I was trying to find a way to install the plug in but the main download website says that I should already have it being an OS X user. I am using version 2.8.22. 

I hope someone can help.

Hi folks!

I am following this tutorial using Ubuntu 17.10: https://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography...tists.html. When I try to compile GIMP using the following code:

    cd $SRC_DIR/gimp
    ./autogen.sh --prefix=$PREFIX --with-gimpdir=$HOME/code/gimpdefault/install/config --disable-gtk-doc


I get the following error:

    WARNING: GCC 7.2.0 has a serious bug affecting GEGL/GIMP. We advise
             against using this version of the compiler (previous and
             further versions are fine).
             See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787222

    Error: GIMP configuration failed.

      - Error: missing dependency libmypaint >= 1.3.0

    See the file 'INSTALL' for more help.

    Configure failed or did not finish!

Any idea what to do solve this problem?

ps: I have used "export GIO_EXTRA_MODULES=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules" since this is a Ubuntu (debian-based) system. I have also installed libmypaint by doing:

    cd $SRC_DIR/libmypaint
    ./autogen.sh --prefix=$PREFIX
    ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX
    make -j3 && make -j3 install

Whenever I start my laptop, within a couple minutes gimp automatically starts (not my choice) and loads an image of the HP logo.
Why?

   

[GIMP 2.8.22]
This happened a month or two ago, just came across the screenshot again.
I had a multiple layered image open and was possibly running a script on all layers. Seem to remember it was affecting my computer as a whole (slow, or non-responsive at times).
Anyway just though I'd post to see if anyone has had anything like this happen to them?

Hello,
I'm new in this forum !
I'm a french fan-translator and I translate mangas .

I like paint.net but there is not cool stable alternative in ubuntu.
If I open multiple images,gimp opens these images in different window,but in paint.net,there is just one window and you can select your image.
It's a problem if I want to edit 25 pictures...


Is there a way or a plugin to do the same thing in gimp?

thanks !

I love this effect and want to use it for a logo on my photos but this tutorial is so poorly done I can't follow. Is there a better one somewhere? Thanks.

I am running Windows 10 on this computer and recently upgraded to Gimp 2.8.22
When I try to open the User Manual using the Help Menu/Help (F1) the 2.2 Image window opens but then fails to respond.
Eventually I have to close the window which then produces the error message
(see error.jpg)
This is happening consistently.
I do have a local installation
(see helpsys.jpg)
and I can open the manual in Firefox but would prefer to have the internal browser.
I don't see the help-browser.exe plugin in the Plugin Browser.
Is there somewhere to obtain the executable to replace the existing file or should I re-install Gimp 2.8.22?
Does anyone else have this issue?
Thanks for any help you might be able to provide

Ok. I'm new to GIMP and not very photo-editing savvy.

I have an image with a transparent background, and a bunch of white and red text and some linework. 

I need to put a black outline around it as I need it to be on a background that is half white and black. 

I've tried to follow the tutorial video's I've found on YouTube but have somehow ended up just blacking out the entire image. 

Can anyone help?

Dear experts,

Do you know if it's possible and if yes, how can I remove chromatic aberrations in GIMP?

Thanks for helping the newbie 

Cheers.
