I've done a couple of installs now and have enjoyed using Debian 12 'Bookworm' so far. Stable is not the newest deb collection but I run the latest versions of Gimp and Firefox as AppImages so I don't care

What I found? Debian puts-up a little ring fence to scare-off newbies but once past that you have the freest, most versatile system imaginable.

To get a lean and mean system decide what window manager you want first. I came from Xubuntu so I'm used to XFCE. I installed Gnome first and it looks like a mobile phone so 2nd install was just XFCE4.

Early on you see this: 'user is not in the sudoers file'
The solution is this:
#su -
#adduser user sudo                                                                 note. 'su -" is an actual command

I came across an easy way to update. Add this to a .bashrc

I'm making a 10 or so page picture book with my sister,  its only really basic sentences going in it for children to read.

Its got some abstract photos and some illustrations,  I just managed to get it together with my hap-hazzard ability to paint and draw.

Hello,
 how to create a retro digital watch background in Gimp that has the outlines of the numbers, like Casio watches for example?

Appearance must have 8-bit RBG colors and be partially transpatent.

I am attaching a picture for a better idea.

I am using Gimp version 2.10.

Looking for suggestions on how to remove or reduce a pattern like this without destroying what detail there is. Including a Google Drive link since it's not letting me embed pics in posts. 

Thanks!

Hello Guys,

I am currently setting up an online shop where i have mockups of digital art.
I am relatively new to gimp but i am fairly trusted with scripting/coding.
I already managed to write a plugin which rescales a file to several formats.

Now i want to fit an image into the empty mockups. Since i dont want to waste hours doing that manually, i want to automate this.

Example:
1. I have my blank Mockup Image
2. I have my image which does not yet fit into the mockup space
3. Now i have to insert the image into the mockup image
4. Now i have to rescale and move the image to the mockup space and make it blend in perfectly
5. Save the mockup with the inserted image

I want to automate this procedure so i can chose a set of images and then they get inserted into different mockups automatically.
Is there any function/plugin like this?
If no is it possible to create a fu-python plugin myself to achieve this?
Basically the mockup does not change. The empty space will always have the same position and size. I just have to fit the image to it.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help me!

Best Regards
Daniel

Hi there
I need little help with gimp,.
I don't know if I'll get an answer because it also has to do with the old PC game.

Well, there is a game called TOCA 2: Touring cars
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOCA_2:_Touring_Cars

The PC edition of this game allows using custom car liveries. They must be of size 256 x 256 in 8 bit BMP.
Thanks to Gimp I can save 8-bit BMP because MS Paint or Photoshop cannot save 8bit BMP, and here's the problem, I did everything right but the car livery in the game are mess up. (im using gimp 2.10.36)

At first I thought I was using it on the wrong car but no, no matter what car I use, the livery iis still messed up, I don't know why? I had to download other car liveries from one website and they work without any problems there. Could someone explain to me what I did wrong?
Here website with already made car liveries by someone else

Of course, I understand that you don't have this game to check it, so how you get this game it's your problem, I have mine when it was added to one out of print magazine focusing to video games(not only).

It's surprising that such an old game started on win10, but it didn't allow you to play, fortunately there is a patch to fix that problem.

Hi, I installed the STABLEHORDE plugin in Gimp 2.10.36 for mac M1 and s.o. Sonoma 14.4.1 but the AI item does not appear in the menu. Do you have any suggestions? (I copied the gimp-stable-diffusion-horde.py file to the Library > Application Support > GIMP > 2.10 > plu-ins folder)

I am trying to add darktable in import and export preferences in Gimp 2.9.36. I am using OS  Catalina. I think there is a way to open raw file in gimp and have it shell out to darktable. Please see attached photo.

I'm using Gimp 2.10.36 and have darktable installed but gimp is not seeing the CR2 files and loading darktable where am I going wrong?

I have a recent Debian 12.5 (Bookworm) install that included a Gimp 2.10 binary. Xsane 0.999 is installed but when I try and use the File->Create function, Gimp is running xscanimage. Which might be fine if it didn't crash when you click on "Acquire preview".

I've tried the symlink trick in ~/.gimp-2.10/plug-ins/ but so far xscanimage is the only thing Gimp is seeing. I've verified that the symlink is pointing to /usr/bin/xsane and if I "cd" to the plugins directory and issue "./xsane" it does launch Xsane. If I can invoke it manually, Gimp ought to be able to, right? Instead, Gimp is fixated on "xscanimage" which doesn't exist on the system as far as I've been able to to determine. (Oddly there is a manpage for it that is almost identical to the xsane manpage.)

Is the problem with Gimp 2.10? Or Xsane?

Is there any hope to get 2.10 up and running with my Epson scanner. It's a Perfection 2400 Photo and has worked with 2.x+Xsane on other Linux distributions for a number of years.

Ping me if any additional information is needed.

TIA for any help...
