Installing new patches? (edit: patterns) - Joe - 01-10-2025
Searched through this forum without success, as I am NOT an advanced pc computer person by any means. Purchased a new pc, its been updated to windows 11. Downloaded Gimp 3.0. The old machine croaked and took my personal patch collection with it. I've been searching and searching for a method to install new ones without success. Frankly, I can't even get windows in its infinite wisdom, to allow me to even locate the folders, where I believe new patches would reside in Gimp. Anyone know where there's a relatively SIMPLE tutorial to install new patches? Was hoping there was a tutorial to install them utilizing Gimp, and not cracking the mysterious codes within the Gimp files scenario via windows. For your consideration - I thank you.

Patches? Or do you mean brushes or patterns?

Copy them to : C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\patterns

Well, the only thing to look out for is AppData is a "hidden" folder so make sure in explorer that show hidden is enabled.
