I'm using macOS 10.13.6.
Gimp 2.10.38 is installed; it came from a file dated May 2024 (gimp-2.10.38-x86_64-1.dmg).
A notification just popped up for a Revision 1 of my Gimp. Going to the Older Downloads section on Gimp's download page led to a 404 page. (Its link was https://download.gimp.org/gimp/v3.0/osx/)
Typing in https://download.gimp.org/ eventually led to a whole load of old Gimps. The 2.10.38 version there seemed the same as mine.
So, two things –
• The Older Downloads link on Gimp's page needs fixing.
• Perhaps the notification is trying to get me to download Gimp 3.0.2, even though my macOS can't cope with it. Or is there a Revision 1 lurking somewhere that I could use?
I am French. I downloaded Gimp 3.0 from Manjaro. Even if Manjaro is an US distribution, every menu, every help is well translated in French in the system.
Every software appears in French. The old days of Linux, in the 2000's, where mix of English/other language where found in every nooks and crannies were a distant memory.
Until Gimp 3.0 ! Some submenus have not yet been translated in French. It will come soon, I'am sure, BUT for a major update, waited so many years ?
Hello, first of all, thank you very much for GIMP. It's been my editor for many years, and I'm truly grateful to everyone behind it.
I'm using Debian, currently version 3.0. There are many new features, and it's time to discover them and learn how to use the new ones, while continuing to use the old ones.
Right now, I'm editing an image and need to change some text. Well, when I edit the text, even though it seems to detect the font and size, when I change anything, it completely changes its appearance. Even pressing Ctrl-Z doesn't return it to its original state; I have to close the .xcf and reload it.
Could you tell me why this is happening and how to prevent the text from changing?
The new update for Gimp (3.0.0-1) has a different default setting than the older version. When I paste an element into the new gimp it does NOT go to a hovering layer that I can simply anchor to the layer I am working on. The program automatically anchors the new item into its own layer. How do I get that to switch back to what the old Gimp did?
Hello, computer terminology is a weakness, so please forgive any errors.
I have been using Gimp for years. I just installed the new version 3.0.0-1. I opened an .xcf file that I had used in an older version (2.10.28). After making some changes to the file, I exported a .png image - it seemed to work fine, creating an image of 4.23 mb with dimensions 2048 x 2048 pixels. I made more changes and exported 7 more .png images. These images, however, did not export correctly. They went to black and white. creating an image of between 170 and 178 kb with a dimension of 1024x1024. I tried to reexport them, clicking the "reset to default" option on the exporting pop-up. Same problem occurred. I closed Gimp and reopened it. Same issue. I am stuck.
On a related note: I have noticed that the new version of Gimp puts any pasted item into its own layer instead of allowing me to paste it onto the layer I am working on. How do I fix that?
I installed GIMP v3.0.2 recently on Windows 11. But the toolbox icons are unsable - too tiny. Every search on how to increase the icon sizes all point to these instructions: GOTO: Edit > Preferences > Interface > Icon Theme, then select "Custom Icon Size" and adjust the slider. However - on my version I do not have a "Custom Icon Size" button. Does anyone know how to fix that- to get the button to show up?
Unlike Gimp 2.10, Gimp 3.0 creates a new image the size of the old one when I select, copy/or cut and paste as new image. The only trick I found is to create an empty image the size of the selection, and Paste as Floating Data, the put it in the right place.
What a waste of time !
I regret Gimp 2.10 for basic use (and with Manjaro, no way to downgrade Gimp 3.0 to 2.10).
hello
i have used gimp for as long as i can remember, but this version 3 is giving me an issue i cant figure out how to fix
i use multiple layers often and using "color to alpha" so i have transparent backgrounds etc...
up til now its never caused a problem... so here what i do
add alpha channel - erase parts of some images, then color to alpha... ok all good up til this point... now i use transform tools to move, resize and tweak images etc...
so example, once i have used "color to alpha" i select the "scale" tool
soon as i select the layer with it, its like a revert back to pre "color to alpha" but, this is only while the tool is selected, the image still has the transparency once task is done, but how do i choose to not see this while transforming?? version 2.10 did not act like this
for the life of me i cant see any settings to change this
i use the tools so i can see where i am placing images and overlaying etc... with this showing i can not see
I'm having an odd issue with GIMP 3.0.2 which previously made me revert to GIMP 2.8 several times, but what good is in sticking with outdated stuff? And my Fedora package manager just updated GIMP to 3 again. I find it too stressful to force it back to 2.8 all the time. So I decided to try and find the root cause of what I am observing here.
For system parameters: latest-and-greatest GIMP 3.0.2 on an equally up-to-date Fedora 41 Workstation, running on a Framework Laptop 16 with AMD Ryzen 7840HS and 64GB of RAM. Not that it matters much, I would probably see the same on any other machine (but haven't tried, to be honest).
Now for the issue. To demonstrate, I have created a 400px by 400px image:
I am selecting an area in the bottom right area:
To this selection, I apply the Gaussian Blur filter:
Now I use the menu item Image -> Scale Image for 300 by 300 pixels. What happens is really disturbing. The image is resized as expected, however, the blurred area is not resizing likewise. It stays where it was:
And it also blurs the area that it now covers!
I saved the resulting image so here it is again:
There is no layer involved in this besides the root layer. If I save, close, and reopen the image, and apply Image -> Scale Image from 400x400 to 300x300, of course the blurred region eventually is moving along as I would expect it to do.
So it looks like GIMP remembers filters and their positions, and keeps them (+ their positions and sizes) beyond resizing the image, for at least as long as the same image is still open. Like it keeps filter operations on a hidden layer that does not properly resize with the image. It forgets about that only when the image is closed and re-opened. What's the point?
I have checked other filters and found similar behavior. However, if I use something like Color -> Invert on the selection and then Image -> Scale Image, the inverted region is in the expected position. For what I know right now, it seems like it only affects filters.
GIMP 2.8 didn't do this, and that's why I stayed with it for so long, and am still somewhat tempted to go back as this is really annoying.
Does anybody know what this is about and how it can be mitigated?
