Recently saw screenshots on GIMP's Official Twitter.

To be straightforward, thanks for ruining the user interface with that corporate-idealist flat design, hard to recognize de-colored icons and the mockery of the new Photoshop UI.

Now please tell me, how to restore old themes, icons and layout of GIMP 2.8.

Hi all! I'm fairly basic with GIMP, which is why I need help with this issue. I'm looking to batch convert a series of images to 256 colors using the same palette for each image (and reduced color bleeding dithering, and removing unused colors). I'm pretty sure there's a way to do this with GIMP, but I'm finding the procedure list (and how to use it) somewhat intimidating.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

This is Gimp 2.9.9 and although this feature has been included since Gimp 2.9.5 worth a mention.

The Select by Color tool still has the select-by options same as Gimp 2.8.x with some additions reflecting the added color spaces, hue-saturation-value (HSV) and luminance-chroma-hue (LCH)

Tucked under those, a draw mask tick box to give a preview of the areas affected by the selection.

   

I want an arrow that wiggles a little bit, as i drag the brush along.

Im not sure i understand the dynamics curves fully....

So on the left side i have 'Angle' and on the right side 'Randomness', right ?

But when i turn up 'Angle', the arrows wiggle to the right and when i restrict 'Randomness', they wiggle to the left.

What is the logic behind this ? 

   

I want to see how people look like with epicanthic eye folds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicanthic_fold just for fun, how do I do that in Gimp

Hello people,

I'm still running under my "old" photoshop CS6 but I plan to quit adobe because of their policy since the cloud based version....

So in photoshop when we saving a file under a Gif (for web) we have the possibility to chose witch color will remain or be deleted etc.. is their anyway to do the sane under gimp 2 ?



Thank you

Hi
not enough information online - so i ask it here.
the issue:
i have a .py script that run fine on gimp.
when trying to compile it with "-m compileall" - i get an error:
#########################################
Error processing line 3 of c:\Program Files\GIMP 2\Python\lib\site-packages\pygtk.pth:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "c:\Program Files\GIMP 2\Python\lib\site.py", line 152, in addpackage
      exec line
    File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  ImportError: No module named runtime

Remainder of file ignored
Compiling myscript.py ...
#################################

the compile produce a .pyc file, but when gimp trying to load it - it crash with similar error or 
"runtime" module missing... 

I was trying to compile other gimp python scripts  - with same result.
i remember that in ubuntu i tried it once , few months ago, and it was fine.

can someone help with this issue?

Hello,

I noticed that GIMP displays any font available that is in program and fonts installed on my computer.
The problem with that is not all fonts are created equal and there's a few that I like while majority is just clutter.

Is it possible to favorite fonts and them displayed separately?
The other issue is that GIMP does not display in fonts change in real-time as you hover your mouse over.
Canva for example is great at it and in no time you can create different texts because it is so easy to quickly
find and test fonts:

   

What do you guys do when you work with text?
Do you have another, faster way that is easier to navigate between fonts?

Thanks.

I'm using GIMP 2.8.22.

When I try to export an image to bmp format in indexed mode...



... the export options dialog no longer appears...



... after hit "Export"!

The options dialog only appears when the bmp image is in RGB mode...



This is the expected old behavior...

How can I solve this?
