Hey!

I just downloaded GIMP to create fantasy maps in, I downloaded some brushes and googled how to add them. It says to use preferences from the menu bar but I have no menu bar, I've tried going to view to enable it but absolutely nothing happens. What seems to be the problem? :)

Doing a lined thing to be coloured by my friend, who uses GIMP. Will they have issues with a .clip file, should I just send it as a PNG or jpeg for them to figure out instead? Normally I'd just have a locked and clipped "colour me!" layer to make things easy for people but c'est la vie.

It's been a million years since I used GIMP and I never got very good with it. Lot of respect for what you people are accomplishing with it.

I'm relatively new to GIMP. I've been practicing with it for about a year now. Nothing full time, just a few hours here and there 3 or 4 times a week.

I've been "volunteered" to digitize my grandparents' slides. I've been trying to figure out how to include the people's names in the pictures without overlaying them on the original picture.

I thought that I could show the original picture then in the next slide, the background would be white/gray and black outlines of the people in the same position as the original photo with their names inside their outlined shapes. [I hope I explained that enough to be understood. Not knowing what it's called or how to describe it caused bad results in various search engines.]

One picture I'm currently working in is 6 relatives sitting at a table eating. In the next slide I'd like to show an outline of the table and an close-to-the-shape outline of each person sitting around the table. I've found out that drawing that manually is a longer process than I thought. Doing that for a couple hundred pictures is not really feasible.

Is there any way in GIMP to quickly outline the general shapes of objects in an image?

Thanks,

I tried to fix an issue of my edges being jagged, when I accidentally selected something that makes my eraser and paintbrush effect the area outside of my selection.. What how I done? How can I undo this? Everything seems normal. I have the replace the current selection mode on, anti aliasing selected and the feather edges on with a radius of 10.0. I've tried resetting my options and restart the program and even my computer. I have no idea what I could have done here. Anyone know?

Edit: the problem as I see now also affect my cutting and pasting of selected areas. The stuff I paste back in now has edges that fade out, as if its opacity is that of a brush without max hardness

(RESOLVED)

Hi, I've recently started using Gimp to draw and I've been loving it so far, but I need to create straight lines for my drawing. I use Shift to do so, but the lines that are created that way are irregular and don't respect the size of the brush I use. So... They're ugly. Do you have tips on how to make cleaner lines of different thicknesses? Thank you a lot !

EDIT: Thanks for answering so fast! The issue was that I had dynamics active. After turning them off, the lines were clean.

Basically that. I took an image, used the path tool on it and these lines appeared.

Does someone has any idea how to fix this ? Whenver i try to open this PNG image it comes out like glitchy/pixels missing, i asked about this last time but didnt find a solution, apologies.

I just wanted to add that this image was previously passed through a BG remover tool, i tried with many different BG removers and all give the same result, i just dont find the methods in GIMP comfortable i don't know, please help.

Is it possible to average the pixels of a bunch of images/layers?

in photoshop it is possible and I'm trying to migrate to free software, thx!

Hi

Thought this might help.

Looking for a working Resynthesizer gimp plugin for Fedora ?

Solves a lot of problems. (python version issues)

Thanks to the Fedora team for the rebuild and rpm

Choose your release https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?bu

dnf install <your OS version>.rpm

Hope this helps, All the best

Currently (afaik) the "default" option for exporting DDS (direct draw surface) images is ARGB. It would be awesome if it was changed from "default" to "ARGB (default)" or "default (ARGB)" just for clarity's sake.

Hi all. I've been using G'MIC's mult-scale inpaint to fill in pieces of missing sky in a panorama (since Resynthesizer doesn't seem to work anymore on my copy of GIMP due to Python issues).

It always takes freaking forever, probably because I'm working with holes in a very large image.

I'm wondering if there's a way to speed it up, sacrificing quality if needed? Parameters I can tweak?

If there was even a usable progress bar telling me how much time was left that'd help, as it is, the progress section tells me how much time has *gone by* which I can figure out by looking at the clock...

It works eventually, I'm just wondering if I can speed it up somehow.

I'm looking for the easiest way to add an outline for example a black outline, to my current selection in Gimp.
I've found an easy way in Photopea but would prefer to keep working in Gimp I'm quite new to it and all I know is self taught so bear with me :)

Currently the size slider from tool options for brushes and other tools goes from 1px all the way up to 1000px, however I mostly work in the range from 1px to 100px. Is there a way to change how large that bar is? Selecting via bar is preferable to me than typing it in every time I want to change, and using mousewheel doesn't really help all that much as it changes the value by .01 instead of 1.

Im looking for the equivalent of the Photoshop Shape and Pen tools in Gimp3. (Paths tool only makes paths, not editable shapes)

For prototyping I mostly just need flat colored shapes with automatic outlines that I can edit afterwards without having to redraw them.

Is there anything similar to these:

pretty excited for gimp 3.0 to release, but I cant get pen pressure to work in it even though i've had it work flawlessly in the previose versions of gimp.

Gimp knows that the tablet is connected

I also have dynamics enabled as well as its set to pressure size.

My tablet works fine in krita as well, so if anyone else knows any other settings i can try. Or that you have had this issue as well help would be appreciated

I'm writing a paper on gimp and I really appreciate your input :)

I am trying to make isometric pixel art using gimp in a 32x16 grid. Is there any advice/hacks/setup that makes it easier to make isometric pixel art in gimp?

Hi guys,

I am wanting to put a picture onto a canvas. The canvas is 50cm width x 100cm length.

Can anyone show me how to edit this, with good resolution, to be able to print to canvas?

I am using vista print for the canvas art.

Thanks

When adding text, how do I make the outline have a shadow-like effect like this?
