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

Bronze-ish or something metallic-ish not sure.

I'm working in Windows 7 for a bit and I really want the 2.9+ version of Gimp.  I use Patha's portable version so it won't mess up anything in my system.  Anyway, I spent so time getting it set up the way I want, adding brushes and other scripts etc.

Lots of my scripts and plugins worked fine until I put a .py script into the plugin folder.  This one:
http://registry.gimp.org/node/20069

After that, the Gimp wouldn't even start.  I removed the .py file and still it wouldn't work.  I had to remove the entire 'portable' folder and start over.  In the portable version the 'portable' folder is like the .gimp2.8 folder, where all the brushes, scripts, etc folders are.

This raises 2 questions:

First, does anyone know why something like this would happen?  And secondly, I read somewhere that all .py scripts need to go in the 'plugin' folder.  Really?  Is this a requirement or just a recommendation?

Hi all,
I want to write a Python script that performs a set of GIMP procedures depending on the time elapsed after starting GIMP and was wondering if this kind of script is possible. Thanks in advance.

I looked this up.
While there is explanation on each setting.
Together, i am overwhelmed by the number of settings and so also clueless on what each setting really does.
And testing each setting is insane because there are so many numbers of combinations.

My question is there a setting such that i can make the selection to path to try to keep details while getting rid of rough edges.
I know the two are kind of contradictory.

Like if you blur, you get smooth selections but you lose detail. Is there away to to keep detail while making clean/smooth selections?

With such many settings, i am hoping that there's a possible combination.

Hi,

Hi,


I just started on Gimp and I saw a lot of tutorials but I'm having hard time to make a table on Gimp... I managed to do it but probably it was way harder than it had to do...

Basically I wanted to do a mensal card...

After I insert a text box, I haven't been able to find a way to relocate it, even after reading the manual. How do I move it?

Using the same font on Linux is a problem since it will look pretty different and then will take different space than before.

On windows it would look like this:

I need a way to make it take the same space as in Windows.

As I open gimp it uses sans which is similar to Tahoma but has a special spacing. In windows sans is using Arial for hebrew. Using just Arial or Thaoma would ruin the good spacing which is not available through the letter spacing setting.

How can I tell Gimp to use Arial instead of Tahoma for sans?

Thanks for your answers.
