I'm trying to make an animated .gif and it looks great when I save it uncompressed. When I compress it and save it it looks like this, with black flashing on and off once more moving parts are added.  Any idea of what is going wrong? Thanks for any help. 

EDIT: Was black when I open the .gif, transparent here.      

Hey, i'm new to Gimp so i sorry if i sound like a noob right now.

Anyways, i can't seem to move layers, and no i'm not talking about using the move tool, i'm talking about the layers on the right side, the layer WINDOW.

Is this a normal feature in Gimp? I had a feeling programs like this would allow to move your layers up and down, but i have to use the buttons instead which is kinda annoying

Thankss

(im uploading a picture, that's the window i'm talking about and i can't move layers up and down)

Gimp-Forum is no longer WIP, so it's time for a logo/banner change. Fortunately, Espermaschine had plenty of good ideas to replace our logo while keeping it clean and simple. So, which one do you prefer?

I just started seriously looking at this with the 32 bit float and linear stuff.  One person that seems to understand this is here:
https://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography...ed-editing

In particular, part C:
"GIMP 2.9 does provide a number of "unclamped" editing operations from which the clipping code in the equivalent GIMP 2.8 operation has been removed. For example, at floating point precision, the Levels upper and lower sliders, Unsharp Mask, Channel Mixer and "Colors/Desaturate/Luminance" do not clip out of gamut RGB channel values (however, Curves does clip). Also the Normal, Lightness, Chroma, and Hue blend modes do not clip out of gamut channel values."

What blows my mind is that some operations do not clip the rgb values at 100%.  In other words, I can go brighter than white and darker than black and still recover the information.  So it looks like some of the color operations allow this.

For example the exposure, HCL color changer, brightness and contrast, and a few others I think, allow me to blow out the colors and still recover them.

I did it(image) with filters>Distort>Lapping in Inkscape. but can not do like this in Gimp! who can do it?? 

just it is interesting to me how do it can be done in gimp!

I did read that the concentration is on bug fixes up to Gimp 2.10 release, rather than new features.

Still managed to sneak a new dockable in - Gimp Dashboard

   

If you are into big images / lots of layers / high bit depth might come in useful to forewarn of impending disaster

Does GIMP have any kind of spell checking tool/solution for the text tool?
Found nothing in this forum, nothing in the old gimpforum forum, couldn't find any obvious plugins in the plugins repo either.

Young boy goes to his father and asks

'Can I have a BitCoin for Chrismas'

Father says

What! £10,362 ....
£9,760 is a lot of money ....
Why do you want £11,061?

I am using gimp 2.8 on Ubuntu 16.04 with a Wacom Tablet.  The problem is that even after reinstalling Gimp the erase key fails to work.  It continues to paint, say, and refuses to switch to erase.  I can make text boxes and use other tools but the program refuses to switch to erase.  If I change the file .gimp2.8 to gimp2.8delete or something and reinitiate Gimp, erase works for a few minutes and the problem returns.  The problem occurs whether I use the tablet or the mouse.  Any thoughts?
