Hello, Gimp world, So I have come to a point where I know my workflow and certain filter I in no way need... Is there a way to remove certain filters which are built into gimp? I tried looking through the files but with no success. (I tried to locate the filter 'Coffee stain', as a test.) Any

I'm working on a CD project with several panels. Since this is bulk produced they can't be exact as to where they cut the final panel image. Look at the PNG image I uploaded. They're a safety area line where anything inside that is for sure going to be printed, then there is a trim line where
