Does anyone know if Krita has a feature akin to GIMP's float selection, or should that be selection float... 
Anyway you know what I mean  
Even if there is, as I'm using Krita on my Android phone, it might be the case that I cannot use it anyway as this version of Krita is optimized for tablets.

gimp-plugin-registry is not updated and not works, G'MIC is old release.

Only gimp-data-extras works, but are brushes, patterns and gradients.

Let's give Debian time... Debian 13 isn't even scheduled for release.

Hello,
I tried applying an image using the "Map to Object" tool with a cylinder, but I encountered two issues:
1- Border Shape: Can I change the shape of the border? For instance, if the arc of the upper border curves upwards, how can I make it curve downwards without using the curve bend tool?
   
2-Image Scaling: When I scale the image larger than the mug using only the "Map to Object" tool, it ends up sitting above the mug instead of curving inward as intended.
           
I want the result to look like this example:
     
Here's the original image for reference:
   

I found this some time ago and just re-found it
It's a GitHub project that 'provides a simplified interface to call procedures and plug-ins from the GIMP procedural database (PDB) - the same style used in Python plug-ins for GIMP 2.10 and lower:

Ofnuts could be interested in the way this works.

Hello All,

I'm a fairly new user of GIMP, running v2.10.38 on Windows 10 64-bit. I'm trying to solve an export probllem that might be related to the following behavior:

I import a multipage PDF and each page appears as a layer. In the main editing window the last page of the PDF is displayed. Even if I select another layer (page) in the Layers Dock, the last page is still displayed. The only way to display anything other than the last  page is to start turning layers off. If it's a 5-page PDF, I make layer 5 invisible and layer 4 (page 4) is displayed. Again, selecting layers 3 or 2 or 1 doesn't change the main window display, it stays at layer 4 (page 4).

I searched the forum, didn't find anything. I skimmed through the online manual 16 - 7 The "Layers" Menu and didn't see anything relevant. I looked through Edit > Preferences and didn't see anything relevant.

I'd think that logically the selected layer (page) would be displayed in the main window, but it's not. Is this normal behavior for GIMP? If it's not, any ideas for fixing it?

Ever since the  win 11 24h2 update gimp 2.10.38 freezes the computer after I use the Foreground Select. I can make the selection and do Enter but when I click Select on the FG popup the computer freezes. The few times it hasn't frozen when I click Select it actually unselects.
Is it the update or what else could be going on?

Hello everyone,

I’m new to GIMP and currently learning how to use the Curve Bend feature.
I’m working on an image of a mug and trying to apply a logo or other designs onto it. However, sometimes the curve is applied successfully, and other times it isn’t, and I’m not sure why.
Could the issue be related to the angle of rotation I’m using? Or perhaps the shape of the curve itself? Or is there another problem with my process?

Here are the steps I’m following:
1-Load the mug image
2-Open the logo/image as a new layer.
3-Scale the logo/image if necessary.
4-Filters->Distorts->Curve bend .
5-Change the layer mode to Multiply.
6-Merge the layers

Here are 2 examples where the result failed and 1 example where it worked:
           

I saw this question from 2023.  The solution was to upgrade to 2.10.36.

I have 2.10.38 and it appears the problem is the same:  Export to pdf and BMP (I haven't tried the others so far, but I need pdf) is always blank and 8.5x11, rather than my chosen canvas size.

One attachment shows the thumbnail from the XCF file and the other shows the thumbnail from the pdf.

Hi, all. New GIMP user here.

Is there an option in GIMP to view the distance between guides?

Example from Fireworks.
