GIMP 2.10 will not uninstall GIMP 2.8 - it simply installs over it (and removes old plugins). It will however uninstall GIMP 2.6 and older first, because from 2.8 onwards GIMP installs 64-bit version by default when possible. > Again my advice, start with a clean install.

I can download everything, and when apple complains this is software from an 'unidentified developer' I can solve that. But somehow every time I start up gimp it has to install all over again?? It never showed up as a proper application in my applications folder either, i just keep the .dmg file and even though I can get it to start, it never becomes the regular application.

[Gimp-user] GIMP 2.10 embedded color profiles
This issue refers to GIMP 2.10.8 and Darktable 2.4.4, running in Linux (KDE). When using GIMP's Darktable plugin, I think I am right in saying that that closing Darktable always imports the image into GIMP in the form of a floating point EXR file with profile linear Rec709 RGB. This is logical since it is desirable to work with floating point precision in GIMP 2.10. In most cases the desired final output from GIMP is a JPEG with sRGB profile but I can find no settings which give me confidence that this is working properly. In my case my starting point is Nikon NEF files. The Colorspace information for the image that Darktable exports shows up in Image -> Metadata -> View Metadata as: Exif.Nikon3.ColorSpacesRGB Exif.Photo.ColorSpace Uncalibrated I have been advised that some images that I sent out as JPEG files did not contain an embedded profile, although GIMP's Image Properties insist that they have the GIMP built-in sRGB. To add to the doubt, the Gwenview image viewer, while it shows the full-sized image correctly, displays the thumbnails much too dark. I have found the only way to show the thumbnail correctly in Gwenview is to reload the JPEG into GIMP, ensuring that the option to promote imported images to floating point precision is unchecked, specifically assign the GIMP built-in sRGB profile, then re-export as a JPEG. Curiously, this does not change either of the two ColorSpace tags above. This is obviously unsatisfactory in itself, but owing to the Exif.Photo.ColorSpace tag remaining as Uncalibrated, I cannot be sure the image has the sRGB profile embedded. By contrast, if I load a JPEG file from the camera into GIMP, both tags are set to sRGB and there is no problem with thumbnails. I would be grateful if someone could confirm whether the above behaviour is expected and if so, what would be a suitable work-around.

[Gimp-user] Wacom intuos in window mode
Hello, hope you can help me out. I have a wacom intuos ctl-490, and trying to use it with Gimp 2.10.08 on win10. Regardless of the settings in the tablet's own options, gimp would only use it when it's set to window mode (under /settings/input devices). If I put it on screen mode, it will use the buttons, and can use the pen's tip as a mouse basically, but it won't draw with pen/brush tool. My problem is that I got used to using the tablet in screen mode, and am quite literally unable to handle the window mode. Plus, if in window mode, I have to always put the cursor back inside the canvas, else it just doesn't work. I've spent some time with this but can't seem to find a solution. Is there a way around it?

I only discovered this problem after wanting to add new brushes. When I go to my Library, in the GIMP folder, there is only the old files for 2.8. No folders anywhere for 2.10! I added my brushes to that folder just to see if somehow 2.10 was using its contents, but no go. So where might I access GIMP's folders, if they are not in my Library? Any clues? Any guesses? Any help would be appreciated. I am enjoying the new look, and functionality of 2.10, and I really don't want to go back. Thanks in advance...

Yes, they are engineering files. While I understand the logic, that doesn't explain the fact of the considerable editing slowdown on the latest version of Gimp. I know that 2.8 did not lag this bad.

Short answer is no need to uninstall first but Gimp 2.10 will uninstall Gimp 2.8 as part of the process. If you have installed any 3rd-party plugins to the Gimp system folder, then not a bad idea to uninstall Gimp 2.8 first. Some of these 2.8 legacy plugins can cause problems. Uninstall Gimp 2.8 If any files remain in C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\ delete them. My advice is use the customise option, save a bit of space by un-selecting languages. Add a short-cut to the desktop, which is useful. What it does not do is delete the old Gimp 2.8 profile C:\Users\"yourname"\.gimp-2.8 It will migrate settings and resources from there to the new Gimp 2.10 profile which is; C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10 Note: a hidden folder in Windows 10 Again my advice, start with a clean install. Before anything **rename** the old profile as a backup C:\Users\"yourname"\.bakup-gimp-2.8 Then, after running Gimp 2.10 for the first time, a new basic Gimp profile is made. Move any resources, scripts, plug-ins, brushes, fonts over from the backup, checking as you go that they work. -- rich404 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Why use it, still plenty questions around from Gimp 2.8.x users, so I run that as well.

[Gimp-user] FIle size jump when opening file
I work on tif files for work, and have noticed something that was not present in previous versions of Gimp (2.8, for example). The actual tif file size is 642KB. When I open it to edit it, Gimp is stating in the bottom bar that this file's size is 681 MB, and while editing the file, it is acting like it's 681 MB. It's slow and very laggy to complete commands. I've been using Gimp at work since 2012 and the most recent version of Gimp has slowed down my workflow considerably. Why does Gimp think it's editing a file this large when it's really not?

>I'm not sure what you mean. The centre of rotation is wherever you >drag the pivot to. That is a known quantity. What I meant was that if the centre of rotation is not within the view that is being manipulated then the direction of rotation may not be readily apparent. For instance dragging the mouse pointer upwards would result in a clockwise rotation if the centre of rotation is to the right of the current view but anti-clockwise if it was to the left of the current view. I'm sure that that problem could be overcome (some indication of where the centre of rotation lies) - the real issue is that the unified transform tool (which is brilliant as far as it goes) would be made much more useful if you could use extra views to look at magnified sections of the image that the UT tool was acting on in the main view. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

[Gimp-user] Exporting .gif files corrupts color information.
Hi, Here's the problem I'm facing, there is no short description though: I'm attempting to edit gif files which contain graphics used in Civilization 2 game. That's a 1996 game and it is highly customizable and as you can imagine, highly outdated. What worked before the days of windows 10/8/7 was just using the MS paint. However, at some point, that application started to completely mess up the colors. So I moved to GIMP and all was well, for a while. I stopped making new game scenarios but recently wanted to start again. However, upon changing anything in the file and exporting it, when I load the game, a certain color used for borders between units and/or terrain types is evidently not correctly saved and it shows up in the game, while it should not. What normally happens is the game recognizes that particular color used in gif files and does not show it during the gameplay, since it's only used to depict said borders for the purpose of editing the graphic representations of various features. The worst part is that that I don't even touch the parts of the image that use this color. Just exporting the file immediately upon opening it is enough. I have attached the "before" and "after" files. Beyond compare shows the same RGB values for all colors. Size between files differs - 183 bytes appear to be missing so obviously some information is lost after exporting. The color in question is the grey background - value 135 for all three RGB colors. I said this already but this wasn't always the case - I used to be able to edit these same files with GIMP many years ago and exported them without issues. Also, when I export the file as BMP, which is also an acceptable format for the game engine, the issue does not exist, UNLESS I touch any of the gray color, in which case, the result is the same. Editing anything else seems to work fine with BMPs. For comparison, I used PSP trial version and it allowed me to freely edit any of the colors and there were zero issues upon exporting the end result. I have messed around with the vast plethora of preferences and options in GIMP but I am far from being an expert and so far there has been no improvement. I suppose the problem lies with some additional information that should be exported with the file but is not. I can't be certain though. Could somebody take a look at the problem I'm facing? I would be very grateful. I really like GIMP since for the basic and casual needs that I have, I've managed to learn all the stuff that I need and I'd hate to switch to another application just because of, what I think, is a small issue. Thanks in advance for your time and let me know if there's anything else I could provide to help resolve this.

[Gimp-user] make the sky bluer (color selection and editing)
I have a landscape photo filled with trees. Through the trees you can see dozens of sky and cloud spots in the background. I'd like to select the blue sky areas (a fairly large range of blues), and shade them all a little darker toward one of the bluer sky colors in the image. I'm comfortable with selection by color, and adjusting the threshold to include more/less. But I don't know how to select by color, but only within a certain area of the image. In other words, selecting by color and clicking on one of the sky spots, is selecting dozens of non-sky spots all over the image that I don't want to change (say, blue flowers, cars, and so on). Once I get the right blue spots selected, I'd like to find a fluid way to drag/explore the color changes. I've used Color Exchange, but only to set one color, then set the other color, then the thresholds, then hit ok to see how that one change looks, then go back and change the settings and run again). Is there a way to get my blues selected, and watch them change as I drag toward the darker shades, stopping when they seem just right? Thank you for any help. Apologies for the wordy descriptions. -- ottenm (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] How do I get my photo to look like it does on the Galaxy 8 cell phone?
I have a Galaxy 8 (samsung) that uses an Amoled screen, which makes my photos really pop (extremely sharp and color is amazing). Unfortunately, when I try to pull them up on my computer screen, they look flat and fuzzy. I've been trying to use different photo editing programs (including Gimp), but they really just don't capture it. Is there a way to EASILY transform these photos to look at least a little bit as good as they do on the phone? (Please don't reply with a lot of technical advice... just the basics would be helpful!).
