Hi everyone, I'm new here but just after a bit of advice!

I would like to know how to replicate the attached image.

I have looked everywhere but with no luck, maybe i'm typing in the wrong things!

Super n00b here. My colors are appearing very desaturated compared to how they appear in the color picker (see attached). Does anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it? Thanks!

So I know there are many posts about using tablets and getting gimp to detect the tablet as an input device, but I'm guessing that my problem is new enough that it hasn't quite been posted about yet, or it's too scarce for me to find.

I have the new Surface Pro, i7, 1TB, windows 10, and the new Surface Pro Pen, model 1776. I am using Gimp version 2.8.22. I am not super familiar with Gimp, or with any paint program. I have dabbled with it before for very simple projects, but I struggled big time, so there is a good chance that I'm just being a newb, but I see that this issue comes up a lot on other platforms.

My pressure sensitivity works fine on Windows Ink. In gimp, by default, the pen draws exactly the same quality as the mouse does. no pressure sensitivity. I have played with the dynamic brush settings. I've copied a brush and tweaked the curves and checked different boxes. I got the velocity sensitivity to appear, although not in any sense that was useful for me. Anyway, playing with the dynamic brush settings has no affect on pressure sensitivity. I found the Edit > preferences and input devices menus. Neither the pen nor the tablet appear as a device. Just core pointer. There doesn't appear to be any interface for me to detect a new device, and resetting the devices has no effect. The Available Input Devices are DirectX Direct input, Mouse Wheel, Mouse Buttons, and Keyboard. I tried searching for drivers for the tablet or pen, but I didn't have any luck. Any advice is welcome. Thanks

Hi everyone, 

I have a very specific issue that I haven't been able to find a solution for after googling many different things. I hope someone here can help me. 

I have an Android tablet running 4.4.2 and when I try to view an image that I have edited using GIMP, it can't be opened. I can see the thumbnail of the image in the folder, but no applications I have tried can open. They all say things like, "file is damaged" or "file corrupt" or just simply "can't open file". I have tried the standard Gallery, Google Photos, and Quickpic with no success. 

The strange thing is that it works on: an older rooted Android tablet, my computer running windows 7, an Android phone running current firmware. Again, it's only with files that I have edited using GIMP. Any other jpg file can be viewed.

Thanks in advance for any help

Hello.
I have this image of a bar code and I have to insert it onto the image of the back cover of a book.
How do I go about it?
Thanks and regards

Sorry i dont know how to technically ask but i am wanting to put some type of layer or mask on the face of someone on a photo that is so they are barely seen. I dont know what that is called. I know i used something like that in some software decades ago but i have no clue of what the effect or whatever is called now or indeed then

I have used Gimp, version 2.8.0, on my desktop mac, OS 10.8 (mountain lion), for several years. Yesterday I updated my operating system to 10.12.5 and now Gimp doesn't work. I get a message saying, weirdly, that Gimp cannot open Gimp-format files. My X-Quartz is version 2.7.2

Has anyone any idea what the problem might be and how to remedy it?

Thanks

I have now updated XQuartz to 2.7.11, but it hasn't made any difference.

Hi there! 
This is my first post. I just begun recently to use Gimp and I'm trying to scan some of my Atari games boxes to make portraits for my game room.

The game I'm currently working on is one of the so-called "silver box" games, the gray color of the box has a metallic hue. I paste two photos (not mine, they are taken from AtariAge)





So, when I scanned my game, the gray was completely horrible and I erased it. I captured the color with a color capture tool from the photo I just posted and the result is:



So I tried to convert the gray to "metallic gray" I captures a pattern from the first photo and used the bucket to fill the second: horrible and tiled. Then I experimented with "light and illumination" but have not achieved any significant result.

I've watched some tutorials, but they mostlyt aim to make metallick effects with degradation, I don't think that will suit this design.

If anybody could hint me how to proceed, I would be very grateful.

Thanks!
