  Straigthening crooked lines?
Posted by: claudione314 - 09-22-2025, 11:40 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi y'all! How do I straighten a line? It's not a path, so I can't use any of the path transforms. I can design a path, but that takes time. Is there a tool that can turn crooked lines into straight lines?

Example: the letters in "TANZANIA" look jagged after upscaling.

  Why I still use version 2.8
Posted by: Darto - 09-21-2025, 10:04 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I have used gimp for years, have spent hundreds of hours at least using it. I can't use the later versions, never could.
Reason is copy,paste,move.
Here is what I do in 2.8:
1 select a small square portion of the image
2 copy it (control C)
3 paste it (control V)
4 drag that duplicated portion I just made around and then paste it where I want it. 

With the later versions I cannot easily do step 4. The copied (duplicated) portion will not move when I place a cursor on it and try to drag it. I have to use the M key + the arrow key Sad  And only then can I drag it around. This is cumbersome !!

The procedure above is what I do to remove text or bad spots that is on in the image. I copy a similar part of the image that doesn't have the unwanted text or spot and drag it on top of the part that does. In that way I have removed the unwanted thing from the image. Such as a watermark. I have done this thousands of times. It's the main reason I use Gimp.

This is not an issue at all with 2.8 or older versions that I have used for years.

  A Search For Missing Belgian Tourist Céline Cremer In Tasmanian Wilderness
Posted by: Tas_mania - 09-21-2025, 10:34 AM - Forum: Watercooler - No Replies

'In June 2023, Belgian traveller Céline Cremer vanished after setting out on the Philosopher Falls track in northwest Tasmania. In 2024, new phone data revealed Céline’s final recorded movements.'





Generally speaking 'foul play' has been ruled-out because phone data shows Celine had left the walking track and was going cross country thru thick rainforest. This bush is called 'horizontal' here because much of it grows horizontally. It can be completely impenetrable.

Rob following the cell phone GPS and phone tower data which stops at one point. He theorizes she may have dropped her phone which she was using to navigate. I think there could be other explanations like the phone battery went flat or she had fallen and it stopped working.

  Gimp-image-list not working?
Posted by: Fian390 - 09-21-2025, 03:12 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi,

I was trying to use PixLab's export all images script, but every time I use it I get the same error code: "Error: eval: unbound variable: gimp-image-list". From what I could find, it seems this variable isn't used anymore? Is there something I can substitute for it in his script to get it to work? Or if someone with more skill with Python rewrite it to work for Gimp 3?

Here's the original forum: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Export...MP-at-once

Any help at all would be appreciated, thanks!

  Gimp plante (Gimp crashes)
Posted by: Viclanel - 09-20-2025, 07:03 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Bonjour à tous et toutes
 Je me lance dans Gimp (version 3.04) en essayant d'écrire un texte auquel j'ai ajouté une bordure ce que je suis arrivé à faire mais quand je valide Gimp plante. J'ai réessayé en voulant enregistrer mon travail avant mais Gimp plante aussi.
Que faire svp ?
Merci d'avance

Please use a translation service and post in English

Hello everyone,
I'm getting started with Gimp (version 3.04) and trying to write some text to which I've added a border, which I managed to do, but when I confirm, Gimp crashes. I tried again, wanting to save my work first, but Gimp crashes again.
What should I do, please?
Thank you in advance.

  Dodge and burn plug-in for GIMP 2 and 3
Posted by: chuckhenrich - 09-18-2025, 04:42 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

I’ve updated my dodge and plugin to work in GIMP 3 (it already worked in GIMP 2) to include multiple language support.

How it works:

The plug-in creates a single layer filled with 50% grey, set to soft light mode. It inserts that layer directly above whatever layer is currently selected. You could of course do that manually. This plug-in simply saves you some steps and makes it easier to dodge and burn in GIMP non-destructively.

I created this because the built in dodge and burn tools in GIMP were destructive when you use them on a pixel layer.

It’s supported for GIMP 3 in Linux, macOS, and Windows.

I’ll record a tutorial of course. Even so, I hope it’s self-explanatory as you use it.

It’s available in the following languages:

Dutch (Nederlands)
English (English)
French (Français)
German (Deutsch)
Italian (Italiano)
Hungarian (Magyar)
Japanese (日本語)
Polish (Polski)
Portuguese (Português)
Spanish (Español)
Ukrainian (Українська)
Chinese (Simplified) (简体中文)
Chinese (Traditional) (繁體中文)

The plugin detects the language you’re running GIMP in, and adjusts to it.

You can read more about the plugin and download it here:

https://www.chuckhenrich.com/gimp-dodge-...-flexible/

Any and all feedback will be much appreciated!

  ora format... it really works?
Posted by: mrkid - 09-17-2025, 03:32 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi! I was trying to open a xcf in Krita to make some brush work there. I found is not possible with new Gimp versions, so i found somewhere the suggest to use . ORA format. I exported to it, but Krita opened the layers cropped or misplaced. I opened with Gimp with the same result. So, i conclude that ora is a faulty export format, at least there is something im missing.
Any experience or comment about exchange formats?

Since Gimp3  is now in common use, new questions should go in the "General questions". You can still answer existing questions there.
