Question. I am using Gimp version 3.0.0-RC2. A couple of days ago I used the Path tool to curve some text. It took some work – but I finally got fairly decent results. On the other hand, now when I create a new layer, the name of the curved text appears as the ‘layer attribute’ for every image. It doesn’t really have much effect, I don’t think, it can be changed – but it’s a little odd. Hope someone has a solution to resolve this. For your consideration – I thank you.

Hello everyone!

I have a request to manipulate a frontal image of a female face. The image originated from another image taken from a very old black and white photo with many flaws. Using Gemini's artificial intelligence, I managed to restore the flaws and colorize the image. Then, I did some processing in GIMP, using Curves and Dodge & Burst. It turns out that the character's eyebrows are very different sizes, and I was asked to make them the same size. I thought of doing the following:
1. Select the left eyebrow
2. Create a layer with this eyebrow
3. Invert horizontally
4. Replace the right one with this one.
I don't know if this will work, so if anyone has experience or any suggestions on how to solve this problem, I would appreciate it.

"Hello everyone!

I have a question: if I create a transparent layer, apply a gradient to it, and then select another tool (like the Move tool), can I still edit that same gradient later? Or do I need to create a new one from scratch?

Thanks

Hello again one and all,

I know the answer to this is incredibly simple and I used to know how to do it but I am embarrassed to say that I cannot remember the details. I know that there is a tool that when an area is erased the area is filled with an approximation of the area surrounding it. I want to remove the horizontal orange bullet point lines from the image below so that I can put them back in at different positions.

As  always, thanks!

     
   

I recently made a design with GIMP. I added a standard bevel effect to text and then ripple effect. I am trying to recreate the same effect but the ripple effect does not seem right. Is there any way to open the file and see the exact settings used for the ripple (amplitude, period, angle, phase shift, etc.)?? I may have applied a ripple effect on top of a ripple effect but don’t know. Just trying to access the filter settings used. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello!

Yesterday I received a GIMP update to version 3.0.6, but the highlights (hover) are very bad because they clash with the text color. I've already checked the preferences but haven't been able to fix it. Does anyone know how to fix this?

If you’ve ever struggled to find reliable GIMP plugins, or even if they exist? well you’re not alone. Just got back to using gimp cuz of 3.0 and again am frustrated about the finding stuff situation soo as any sane person would do I spent the last 6 hours hunting through scattered links, outdated lists, and broken downloads.

I created a comprehensive, organized, and up-to-date GIMP Plugins Catalog. Everything is neatly categorized (AI/ML, RAW tools, Filters, Automation, Scripts, Panorama, Export, and more) with essential info like supported GIMP versions, install notes, and sub-direct links (on purpose).

Check it out:
? https://github.com/XDesigns-gfx/Gimp-Plu.../README.md

? Why this matters:

• No more hunting through broken forum posts.
  
• Clear visibility of what works on GIMP 2.x vs 3.x.
  
• Quick access to documentation and “use at your own risk” warnings.
  
• Community-friendly: contributions are welcome! If you know a plugin that’s missing, you can add it via GitHub.
  

Hello, how are you?

I downloaded and installed a D&B plugin in GIMP. I'm using version 3.0.6 (updated yesterday because I was on 3.0.4). The plugin is working very well and is a real help. However, I have a question: I'm facing the following situation:
1. D&B layer
2. Character layer with a transparent background
3. Solid color background layer.

It turns out that if I apply D&B to the background area, even though it's on the D&B layer, when I brush over the area, it paints over that area. Is there a way to apply the D&B layer only to the layer immediately below, that is, the character layer?

I tried locking the alpha channel on the D&B layer and the character layer, but it didn't work.

D&B = Dodge & Burn

I'm using the Borders tool in GIMP 3.0.4, with the border colour set to black, and the borders added are black with white speckles all over them.  Is there a setting somewhere that I have missed, or is this a bug?
