Hi all, 
I discovered changed behavior since I use version 3. 
I am maintaining scores for our choir and for that I sometimes need to amend, fix scores. Sometimes that involves changing, or better, moving texts on the score. 
For that I loaded the "original" in GIMP, select the portion that needs to move, cut (CTRL-X) it and that paste it (CTRL-V), after which I could move the paste portion around using my arrow keys. One of the use cases is also removing excessive white space.
In version 3 I can do the same CTRL-X and CTRL-V, but then nothing happens when I use the arrow keys. It appears like it has lost the connection to the selected area in the canvas.

I suppose something has changed in the behavior in version 3. I looked up for changes, and see entries on Internet about CTRL-C and CTRL-V, but they do not seem applicable to my use case. 

Thanks in advance

I'm using w11 with gimp 3.04. While I'm creating still images with gimp, the images will ultimately be used in video.

Perhaps you've seen a brick wall at a library or train station that features images in relief constructed onto the wall, such as shown in the attached photo. That is the effect I'm trying to achieve. I have an .jpg/.bmp of the side of the building (called "wall) I'm trying to modify with several b&w images to be bumpmapped (called "bumpedimage") into/onto its side. The bumpedimages are .png.[img]E://Alliance-Files-Kenny Lincoln\WallDisplay\walldisplay6.jpg[/img]

1. To get the placement and size of the b&w bumpedimages correct, I have first made the wall and bumpedimgages the same size (pixelwize) with the bumpedimages occupying an area that is largely transparent. The bumpedimage is proportionally correct and placed in a predetermined x/y location. This placement is shown in the following attachment with the b&w layer on top. In the final application, which is video, the entire scene is zoomed into so that the bumpedimages coming out of the brick wall are more easily seen.

Please note that in this screencapture, the placement of the layers is incorrect as the bumpedimage layer is to be placed under the background image.

2. Even when I place the bumpedimage layer under the background layer and add the bump map filter to the background image (as shown in the attached file, I cannot get the desired effect no matter how extremely I vary the controls such as depth/elevation etc. [img]c://Users\Admin\Pictures\Screenshots\wallgimp-2.png[/img]

3. In the video, the background wall remains constant and does not move while different b&w images fade in and out (bump in and out) of the wall representing different historical figures attached to that location. Bumpedimages are of different sizes and located at different positions along the wall.

Any suggestions to make this effect work would be appreciated. Should the b&w images themselves be individually bumpmapped first, just to emphasize their contrast in shading or luminance?

I just spent a whole day trying a dozen different methods that are supposed to make all the transparent *colored* pixels in an image completely opaque while keeping the completely transparent pixels as they are. However in 2.10 whenever I set Threshold Alpha to zero as often suggested it has no effect and GIMP simply resets it to 0.5. Then I tried this in 2.08 and it worked fine right away.

Does that mean it's just plain broken in 2.10? Or is there an obscure deeply buried setting that somehow got changed in 2.10 that I'm not aware of and is blocking changes to the threshold? The Alpha channel is definitely not locked.

Hi
I have been using a duotone effect in Photofiltre on a student project. However that software is now too old to be installed and I am considering GIMP. Do anyone know if a duotone effect similar to the attachment is possible in GIMP, and if yes how?

As you can see the effect makes the image duotone and at the same time make the quality "reduced", more grainy.

Hello everybody,
I recently decided to cancel my expensive Adobe Photoshop account.
Now I am learning to use the GIMP and I often encounter difficulties.
I already found that some Gimp features are better than Photoshop features.

My question is: Is there on the Gimp-Forum.net a thread about migratong from expensive Photoshop to free GIMP?

Thanks for answers!

As title, Imgur has blocked the UK due to the recent data protection laws.

Any one else affected ?

I know it has a chequered history, but it is/was a nice easy site for quick image posts.

Any decent alternatives ....

Hi. Im working in the background of a book cover. Im using intensively layers and groups to keep all the elements in order. Very nice!  I named groups, and some key elements. As number of elements increase i wonder if there is some way to search them by name. AFAIK there is no that feature, but maybe i´m wrong, and you can give me some info about this.

I am running GIMP 3.0.4 on an iMac with Sequoia 15.6.1. The last major upgrade to GIMP (presumably to v.3.0.0) made a change to the controls such that all the sliders, mouse movements, etc became far more sensitive (i.e. a small mouse movement produces a huge change) and actually very difficult to work with.

This is particularly frustrating when trying to navigate around a large image by sliding a finger over the mouse.  The on-screen sliders work OK for navigation, but are far less convenient - and anyway, this all used to work fine in GIMP 2.

The slider scales for things like brush size seem now to be logarithmic.  That makes it (too) easy to make big changes to brush size, but really difficult to select small brush sizes (e.g. for spotting dust on scanned images using the clone tool).

I have dug about in the iMac system settings, and tried all possible combinations of the mouse controls, without any effect on GIMP.  It seems there must be a mis-communication between the OS and GIMP.

Any ideas for workarounds or fixes, please?

This week I noticed my system was crashing when I used GIMP. So I monitored it with the Missions Central application and discovered that GIMP was using 9.5GB, even though I wasn't doing much editing. Today I'm using GIMP 3.0.4 and Linux Mint. I noticed that just opening GIMP consumes about 5GB.
I managed to solve the problem as follows:

I went into the preferences section and made some changes to the system resources section, as follows:

Minimum number of undo levels: 10
Maximum undo memory: reduced to 1024MB
Fragment cache size: reduced to 1100MB
I left the other settings as they were.
This reduced RAM consumption during editing, but when opening GIMP it remains at 5GB.

For my current tasks, I haven't noticed any significant performance losses yet. Regarding GIMP opening with 5GB, although I'm not sure, I think it's due to having the following installed:
GMIC Plugin
Resynthesize Plugin
Remove BG Plugin
Several extra brushes
Thank you
My question, however, is this: is it normal to have this %GB consumption only when opening GIMP?
Are the settings I made in preferences relevant?
