I think probably this site and gimp-chat.net are associated. So I tried to make an account on there yesterday. Ostensibly I succeeded and posted something on there. But when I went back there today there I just got a "this account isn't verified" message without any options to do anything about it. The message also said to "contact an admin" but there was no such option anywhere on the site. The post I'd made had been inexplicably removed also. Without further knowledge I assume that website is just broken and not fit for use. Does anyone have any further ideas about how to fix that though?

Hello everyone!

Why doesn't the image I downloaded from pngwing.com appear when I open it in GIMP? 

I can see the preview of the image in the Windows file manager;
   

I can open it without problems in Paint and Inkscape but in GIMP it only shows a semi-transparent image. (See image below).
   

I'm not worried about using this image exclusively, since I'm just experimenting to achieve a certain effect.
In fact, I used the image opened in Inkscape and saved it as .png and that way it opened without problems in GIMP. 

The question here is why the image is not being displayed correctly with GIMP!? 

Thanks in advance.

The image is License - Non-commercial use, so I left it attached for anyone who wants to check it.

Is the limit of macro commands based on batch and global filtration etc ?
Perhaps that is the case.

Just a little demo of this Gimp 2.99 feature. I can not see much in the way of documentation ( https://testing.docs.gimp.org/2.99/en/ ) so an introduction.

Find it in the View menu and toggle the item Snap to Equidistance. 
Set two layers at the required distance apart
Drag other layers and the same offset is shown.

   

Almost impossible to escape advertisements on youtube so this 3 minute demo is on my own storage.

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to find a solution to the following problem:

I want to use the *Al-Aser.ttf font, however, both GIMP and Inkscape do not display the font as intended.
   
Only Libre Office seems to display this font correctly.
   
However, in Inkscape, when the font is viewed in the Text and Font window, it displays correctly, although it continues to be written on the page in an undesirable way.
   
I remember having seen this type of problem before and if I remember correctly, the solution was found at the time. However, I can't remember where this issue was discussed and solved before, much less what the solution was at the time.

Does anyone know how to unravel this situation and guide me on how to make the font type as expected?

**The font is attached as a .zip file

Thanks in advance!

Hello, I made a design for a 4" x 9" rack card that I made using gimp and a lot of ms paint because I don't know how to use gimp very well. I printed it on my color laser and some of the dark blues look purple.

Namely:
  Really purple is the text in the blue box with the green border

  And the background square behind "compassionate carnivore"

? Is this just my printer?

? Would it be fine at a professional printer?

? Does gimp have an easy way to deal with this?

I think I'll go purchase a couple of flyers using these images at a local printer.

And if anyone has any suggestions to make this rack card better. I would appreciate them. I just noticed I spelled theater wrong.

   

   

I had saved a number of links for GIMP tutorials located on the site tankedup-imaging.com, but that site is no longer active.  Does anyone know if these tutorials were saved and moved to another location?

Thanks.

Are these types of 'animated images' possible to do with GIMP?  If not, what does it take to make one and is it a specific style?  Thanks
