I have updated GIMP (Panda Jim) to 2.10.38.
Is it possible to update the Appimage loader to correspond? (gimp2-10-36-python2-mm-Ubuntu.Appimage)

I have tried extracting the Appimage, but could not see where to make the necessary changes.

I am running Ubuntu 20.04, but with the Unity desktop. Is it possible to upgrade this to 22.04 (or 24.04) whilst retaining Python 2.7?

Any help and advice greatly appreciated.

Good Evening,

So this is an odd thing, i'm looking at assisting my wife with her crafts, she is huge into paper crafts at the moment and we finally got her a Cricut and we have been fiddling with using the machine to do her cuts and scoring happy days. Problem is that we use Inkscape to break down the PDF's to do what we need and sometimes the PDF's come over as a single image instead of a properly grouped image that we can manipulate. Is there anyway to use gimp to split out the PDF's. I found a way in Inkscape but it involves breaking the entire image down into a bit map and mapping/ grouping the entire file node by node... any hep would be amazing.

Hi, I've just started to use GIMP. I scanned in an image at 1200 DPI. The document is 6 x 8.5 inches but when I open the document in GIMP the "set to canvas size" shows the size to be double but 300 ppi so I'm confused about the sizing. Another image/document I scanned in at 600 dpi is the correct size on GIMP (6 x 8.5 inc) but the dpi is 300 - surely it should be 600 dpi or double the size? Can someone please explain this to me? Am I looking at the wrong place to find the size of my document? I need to generate digital prints at the largest size possible at 300 dpi. I'm on a MAC. Thank you

I found the dashcam video while going thru a memory card looking for video of the idiot who almost took us out on a highway.

I've given the Gimp 2.10.38 appimage a good workout and it's very stable. The difference between fuse-overlay-fs and kernel overlay has been reduced to one line of code.

I improved Mathmap on Ubuntu so if people are interested the newest files are here:

The French must be getting excited about the Olympics. I remember the Sydney Olympics in 2000. I was driving taxis (pre-uber) and thought I would make a lot of money. I made the same because they designed the events around public transport. I did meet people from all around the globe and that was good.

I have been using gimp to manipulate images of my paintings.  I take a picture of the painting with my iPhone, convert it to JPEG, and then upload it to gimp to straighten, crop, etc.  It always asks me if I want to convert to to sRGB or something like that.  The default is to convert, so I do.  However I was wondering what the difference was and/or if there is a tutorial that teaches what these conversions mean and how to choose the best options for your project. 

Thank you in advance. 

Hi,

Inkscape V 1.3.2
Scribus V 1.6.1

Having an .svg file open in Inkscape (it can be just an object, in the form of Path), using a color profile (the same in both inkscape and scribus); when I choose:
File - Save as - type (Scribus CMYK PDF (*.PDF) and click OK in the window that appears, I get the following error:

   

Hey guys,

Using the Samj portable version since the beginning of the GIMP 2.10 version I have always started the program via a shortcut on the desktop whose destination is:
C:\Gimp-2.10.28_Portable_32-64bit-Win\GIMP_EN.exe (*)

Which is what the image below corresponds to.
   
I can never open GIMP any other way.

If there is, for example, an image in the Windows file manager that I want to open in GIMP and I indicate this path (*) an error window appears on the screen:
   
Using Scribus it is possible to choose GIMP to edit images opened in the Scribus image frame. To do this, simply enter the GIMP path in one of the program's preferences options. But if I provide the same path (*) that I use to open GIMP, the same error window appears again. 
   
The only way I've found to open GIMP, either through Scribus or through the file manager, is to provide the following path:
C:\Gimp-2.10.28_Portable_32-64bit-Win\bin
   
But in this case, the GIMP that opens appears without the plugins and scripts that I use daily, and also using the operating system language (not English).   None of my customizations are present. 

Is there any way to avoid the error screen and open GIMP using the GIMP_EN.exe option, which is the one I use and has all my settings / plugins / scripts?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Guys, I hope you can help. I imported a KDP book template into Gimp 2.10.38. Sized my book front cover as 480px x 768px or 5" x 8". When I dragged and dropped the front cover PNG onto the template in Gimp it was way too small. How do I get the picture cover as a PNG format to fit the template?
