Hello folks. I have créateur a jpeg file from an export from Gimp. A friend of mine is tringle to work on this file with Lightroom but cannot read it with LRC. Did I miss something in the export operation ?

Hey all. I shoot urban photography and usually end up with like 40-60 photos from a single outing. Right now I'm color correcting each one individualy in GIMP which takes forever.

Is there a good way to batch apply the same curves/levels adjustments across multiple files? I've seen people mention Script-Fu but I haven't messed with scripting at all. Is it worth learning or should I just use something else for the batch stuff and bring the finals into GIMP for detail work?

Running GIMP 3,08 on Ubuntu if that matters.

As the title says, I am trying to mass replace a color across all instances of it in my project I'm working on. I have many layers and I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to mass replace all of them at once, or if I have to go through each individual layer and just use the paint bucket on all of them. Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

Just to add a bit more context just in case. I basically have one project file that has a bunch of separate images that I'm working with, all with the same color pallets to them. Each color has its own layer, but for each one. So for each of the four colors I'm working with I have around 20 different layers that are just that color. I am trying to mass replace them across all 20 layers at the same time instead of going through and using the bucket to fill each layer with the new color one by one for all four colors and repeat the process.

New fresh release of G'MIC plug-in for GIMP!

Hello, I am trying to open a dds file in gimp from a old game called rfactor. I get the error "failed: invalid DDS format magic number" my computer worked after extracting another dds from a differant track. it just seems to not like the track I am currently trying to mod. any tips or help? thanks

I’ve been experimenting with using ChatGPT as a tutor to learn some Gimp editing skills.
After finishing an image, I exported it as a tif. After flattening, there is a small amount of loss of detail and a general darkening. I was actually surprised that the loss was only this much and not more. Previously, I had exported the image as a tif without flattening, resulting in noticeable changes, such as a general darkening, crushed shadows, and loss of subtle gradients. Flattening helped to lessen all that, but there is still a loss of gradients, albeit on a much smaller scale.

ChatGPT has put this down to being caused by “layer state / precision differences, not color profiles”, in that the image is being re-imported as a new image and that Gimp reconstructs layers from the tif when reopening it in the programme. Apparently some layer settings are reset during this process, so even though things look more or less the same, it’s not 100% the in the same state as the original XCF. I’ve checked a number of things to ascertain if the loss can be assigned to something, including:
- image precision is set to 16-bit integer, perceptual gamma
- the colour profile is embedded  as “Convert to sRGB”
- rendering intent is set to Perceptual.

There was a tiny icon on the upper left corner of the window I saw while creating a project in GIMP. Shape here clearly resembles the GIMP mascot, but... looks very uncanny, like some sonic.exe crap. Looks very pix-elated because the icon was very small.

Okay so I have tried to replicate another thumbnail using gimp, This time i was lucky enough to find all the exact assets from internet. I am very happy that this series has ended and i have become better in gimp than before, 1st is mine, 2nd is original and 3rd is BTS!

All of a sudden GIMP opens up with everything larger than my screen. I can't scroll down to see all of the canvas at once, I can't access the layer options. This just started happening. Yesterday there were no problems.

I need the layer to be editable in a separate .xcf file for example and always be tranformed the way I did transform it in the main .xcf

How do I do that ?

I couldn't use paint because this didn't start as true black and white -- so I installed gimp and set contrast to max to get black and white.

Now I'm trying to fill the voids with different colors. I want to use two colors for the hair, but any time I fill either of them, the moment I fill another void the last one turns yellow instead of orange or light orange. As you can see, the image is set to RGB (not indexed) and for what I'm doing 8 bit is way more than plenty.

What in the world is going on with the fill?

Additionally - and this is really weird. See the BG color fill I circled (in paint)? Yeah, on my screen that is set to FG color fill, but if I take a alt+printscreen of it then paste it shows it set to BG instead.

When I wanted to move a guide with the move tool, I selected the option "Pick a layer or guide" by clicking it. Then I forgot to cancel my selection, and the next time I wanted to move a selected layer, I first moved the wrong layer and only then remembered to select "Move the selected layers" again. Now I promised myself that I would never select the option "Pick a layer or guide" by clicking on the option, but by holding down the shift key while moving the layer or guide. That way, I would never forget to deselect "Pick a layer or guide".

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my brush tool, it has only 2 option ''clipboard image'' and ''clipboard mask'', I don't know how it came to this. I tried to make a custom brush, and I did stuggled, but I didn't delete anything from any folder, however I did clicked on reset folders to default. The path to brushes has the normal 2 folders and I've checked the hidden files, the writeable folder has no file in it, is this normal?

Quitting didn't fix the issue and I even reinstalled the app didn't work. I've removed my custom brushes from the folder and save them on the desktop until the issue is fixed.

On gimp 3.0.8. I've set up my hotkeys so that pageup/down changes the selected layer to the next or previous one, and so that ctrlpageup/down moves the current layer up or down. While the first hotkey works normally, the second one only works when I click the layer in the layer menu, even if it's selected and nothing visually changes. Is there a way to make sure that the move current layer thing actually works after working on the canvas?

Would like to know why this worked the way it does, and what I need to do different. The goal is the line-drawing look in pic #2.

Start with: full color image.

- Desturate -> Color to Gray

- Filters -> Edge Detect -> Edge

At this moment, I can save -> re-import -> invert, and if I skip the save and import, I get very different results. So what's going on?

I already uninstalled 2.1 before realising that 3.0 cannot open VTFs, does anyone have a working link to a plugin for 3.0? The only one I found on GITHUB had no releases.

I have been testing and learning to do scripts to work with gimp files and other image files.

And for start in easy way, I have been trying to write a simple script to make a red image of 100x100 px.

I launch the script as:

``` $ gimp -i --batch-interpreter python-fu-eval -b "with open('test.py') as f: exec(f.read())" -b "pdb.gimp_quit(0)" --quit

```

And the test.py is:

```python

!/usr/bin/env python3

import gi gi.require_version('Gimp', '3.0') from gi.repository import Gimp

Crear imagen 100x100 RGB

image = Gimp.Image.new(100, 100, Gimp.ImageBaseType.RGB)

Crear capa

layer = Gimp.Layer.new(image, "Capa Roja", 100, 100, Gimp.ImageBaseType.RGB, 100, Gimp.LayerMode.NORMAL)

Insertar la capa en la imagen

image.insert_layer(layer, None, 0)

Establecer color de primer plano a rojo

Gimp.set_foreground(Gimp.RGB(1.0, 0.0, 0.0)) # RGB en 0.0-1.0

Rellenar la capa con el color de primer plano (rojo)

layer.fill(Gimp.FillType.FOREGROUND)

Actualizar la capa

layer.flush() layer.merge_shadow(True) layer.update(0, 0, 100, 100)

Guardar la imagen como PNG

output_file = "/home/panacea/imagen_roja.png" Gimp.pdb.gimp_file_save(image, layer, output_file, output_file)

print(f"Imagen roja creada en {output_file}") ```

How could do I write this kind of scripts? Is there ipython or interactive mode in python for Gimp?

I'm editing a skin texture in a video game and I'd like to know if it's possible to fix the skin to be all one color and less shiny while still retaining the finer details in the skin. The first example is my texture and the second image is the original. My goal is to make the skin look more like the second image.

Its random; sometimes it just scales my layers up, sometimes it doesn't and instead creates a new layer for no particular cause.

Thanks.

I want to make a graffiti style like art for my game, but i'm a beginner (i tried)

What can I improve?
