I use GIMP 2.9.5 on Linux MInt.
I can use my Scanner through other programmes but when I run GIMP and go to File-> Create there is no Scanner/Camera option.
There are the options From Clipboard, From Webpage, Screenhot but no Camera/Scanner.

The Scanner is recognised by the OS but not by GIMP.
Any ideas?

   

This is a little plugin ob-align.py by Oberon Leung, that is in danger of being lost, so this post to keep it alive.

There are other similar plugins and of course command line ImageMagick has a similar function.

However, ob-align.py, providing you are not too ambitious, is easy to use. 

A 4 minute demo





The plugin is attached, remember to unzip it. Pop it in your Gimp profile, in Windows, C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins

Hi All,

I am trying to trace around this vette.  I have watched the video on how to many times, I have everything right until I go to the part where you select from path, then Invert, then delete and it should show checked background?  My keeps coming up white???  Could someone let me know what it is that I am not doing right?  I have a cnc wood carving machine and want to make a sign for my neighbors z06 Vette.  I would greatly appreciate any help you can send my way.

Thank you

Do you have a tutorial for this or can someone explain to me how I can move a picture to a distorted view. ie into the shape you want it and then anchor to  another layer
iwarp only shows the active layer and I don't understand Warp

Edit:- Looks like it may be the cage transform...just saw a video about it on YouTube.

AnMal did a nice effect explaining how she did this effect. I have wanted to remember it on this photo.

I'm using GIMP 2.8.18 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I've been using GIMP for years and have never had a glitch. Today, I can't use the select tools. I click on one of the select tools and, instead, I get the move tool. I rebooted my machine. I tried resetting the tools to the default settings. I removed GIMP and reinstalled it but nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

While our friends from GimpChat are waiting for it's return, here's a couple of photos for you to play with.

I have no particular requirements, just see what you are inspired to do with them.

   
   

There is a Gimp 2.8.20 described here

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/plain/NEWS?h=gimp-2-8

and via gimpusers (Alexandre Prokoudine)

"...We expect to ship v2.10 later this year with 16/32-bit per color channel precision, basic OpenEXR support, new and updated tools, UI updates, and many more changes..."

Maybe, providing they get their layer modes sorted.
