I know this should be simple however I am new to gimp and struggling a bit.

Quiet simply I want to print 2 images of 106mm square on one piece of a4 .instead of printing one image per page and wasting loads of paper.

I can print one easily but when I try to move 1 image to the left to make space for the other one along side it  it splits from it's canvas.and part of it disappears

Do I need to make the canvas a4 size ?  

Thanks in advance John aka Clueless

Using a Wacom 16 tablet under Windows 10(64 bit), in Gimp 2.10.38

I just installed the program today, and while it looks very useful, the tablet interface is... less than stellar.


I was able to go into the Input Devices menu and watched a couple of YouTube videos, but it just does not work.  It sees he tablet, and i can use it to point, but not to paint.

For one thing, the Dynamics are OFF, and I have no idea how to turn them on, r if that is necessary, or what they do.

And if I want to use a brush on the screen, well, I can do that with the mouse, but the pen only points, and if I try to paint, I get a kind of rectangle, with squares at its corners, instead of, well, drawing/painting.

I admit to being new with the program, but shouldn't it paint, instead of (it looks like) designating an area?
Is... a puzzlement.


Thanks for any tips that might make this work better.

We recently lost broadband for a week due to a huge storm that lasted for days. It brought down big trees that took out power lines. Power lines that supply the broadband infrastructure and people's homes. We didn't lose power but had to adapt to no internet for awhile.

When we got internet back I noticed something I had been ignoring for some time. Utube was stopping at higher resolutions and I was having to drop lower, often to 360p or 240p. I was mostly using Firefox from an AppImage. I noticed the ads seem to work just fine. Speedtest seemed normal for us.
 
   

I checked Utube with Chrome and so far no slow-downs. It's definitely working better than Firefox with Utube. I'm currently watching Tassie Boys Prospecting because Levi often does 'sniping' in remote and dangerous areas.






Due to Tasmania's bizarre history gold found here by small time prospectors belongs to the King of England. For some reason he never shows-up to collect it.

I'd like a plugin to be able to detect and then select simple shapes in a layer or image. So there is a green square in lots of pictures I'm processing and I have to mark them every time they occur, so I do this manually using the Rectangle tool. The squares are always of a similar size and colour. Is there a plugin that could detect squares within a certain size-range and colour-range and then select them? If not, how difficult would it be to write a script like that, given that I have some programming experience but not in Python?

Why isn't my avatar displaying anywhere? I just get a placeholder image instead on my avatar. The jpg I used was 90x90 pixels and 21kb in size.

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.
