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!

Hi,

I would like to learn how to combine lots of picture onto one base picture.
You probably saw this image before :



It is a combination of 50-60 photos.

How can I do it in Gimp?


Thanks.

Been looking for a Gimp forum that's still alive. This one looks promising. 

Just trying the forum out.
Background: Producing cartoons and illustrations since late 70s.
Been publishing cartoons drawn with GIMP for some time now. Still learning new tricks.

Cartoons appear in magazines, newspapers and T-shirts.

Sample attached, if I did it right. Nope...I see 500 kB limitation...try again...

   

I have built a master template that allows me to create various cartoon strips just by turning on/off layers.
Boxes are resized using a sliding vertical bar and I can add multiple boxes by again, manipulating layers. So, for each publication cycle, I'm not reinventing the wheel. I just sit down and go to town.

I started with PSP, but when Corel took over, that killed it for me. Photoshop is out of the question and not affordable. Thus, Linux.
Been trying the different flavors of Linux, but when I discovered Mint, instant love. Stable as a rock on my monster desktop computer. Super fast and now I'm so comfortable with Linux, I'm down to one WIN XP box that is only used to operate a large flat bed scanner.

I use to scan rough sketches in using my scanners, but now I just take a photo of my sketch and Bluetooth it into GIMP and use it as a scaleable background. I have digitizer pads and older Cintiq.

   

I'm also on FaceBook

Say I have an image with around 30 layers (experimenting with animations, hence the high number). I'd like to remove the last 12 layers and put them into a different image, so I can edit these two sequences independently, and then join them together again. Is there some way to do that that's less cumbersome than copy-pasting each individual layer?
