Hi guys and girls i'm new to Gimp have been watching loads of tutorials to learn.

I am trying to put a picture into text and the tutorials i have watched all say right click on the text layer and click on text to selection. I have not got this option, only text to path or text along path. Can some one please tell me where i'm going wrong.

Ppicture is there on one layer
there is layer above it (white) and the text layer above that
don't know what to do next. Help is needed please.

Hello,


From this stackoverflow thread https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4443...mmand-line , i extract this command line:

for example, I've got a jpg image that I have blurred it a part of it, where it's the face of a person



and I saved it as jpg, and now I want to try to deblur it. How to do that? What is the step?


Thank you.

How to apply mosaic to a photo in such a way that there is 
no way of decoding the mosaic to get back the information?

I need to apply mosaic to the address of a photo that will be
published. Yes , no one is interested in my address but I
just need to just make sure 100%

I have a lot of photos born with EXIF (e.g. camera models, GPS information) that I want to get rid of them all.
Yes I know there are other software but I want to make it more handy
to do it in one application within GIMP

Any such plugin?

I came across this technique in PS  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv7YP5L-2Zs


In essence it depends on being able to merge pixels from the layer below based on the brightness of the pixel in THIS layer (or the one below)

... hard to explain, the video does it better.

It seems to produce some good effects, I'm struggling with a achieving the same effect in GIMP.

...my best guesses are something like making a mask based on the "level" of one of the images, but this fails to encompass the "gradation" concept

Hi Folks!
I just purchased and loaded a new set of cool fonts into GIMP the other day. Unfortunately, four of the fonts have similar names:
HWTAetnaStreamerShadow
HWTAetnaStreamerFill
HWTAetnaStreamerBanner
HWTAetnaStreamerOutline

GIMP is only recognizing "HWTAetnaStreamer" and not the rest of the name. While all the fonts are in the program, only one style shows up. Any way to fix this? I've not had any luck being able to rename the files and have contacted the developer with no luck.
I've attached a screen shot to show what it looks like. I'd love to figure out how to access the fonts I paid for.
Thanks in advance for any help you might offer.

Hi all - Thanks for the great resource and information.

One thing I am trying to work out is how I can have GIMP scale images to a specific size so that they are compatible with the www site I am developing.

I am taking images with a Canon DSLR camera and they come into GIMP at 3MB+ and I want to scale them down to 800 x 800 and 72KB max.

I have tried the Batch GIMP Plug in for scale and that is working for the 800 x 800 but the files end up as different file sizes (between 50-150K).

Is anyone aware of a batch plug in I can use that will produce both 800 x 800 and also file sizes maxed to 72KB?

Many thanks for the help.

Hi Folks,
Although I moved to GIMP several years ago, I still keep tabs on Photoshop developments.
Just watched a vid ( https://petapixel.com/2017/09/14/using-l...ch-images/ ) from the Petapixel site, and was impressed with the results shown!
I opened up gimp 2.9.6 (Thanks, Partha!), but LAB mode was nowhere to be found B>(
Am I missing something, or is this feature to be found in a future release? . . .

Thanks, Barry
