Re: [Gimp-user] Announcement: this mailing list will be retired by the end of Oct 2022 (Dan Hitt)

Thank you, Dave. I installed Thunderbird on our Mac and after a few moments was able to figure out the next steps. After setting up a News account, I clicked on “Manage newsgroup subscriptions”, typed GIMP in the “Show items that contain:” line. “comp.graphics.apps.gimp” was at the top of the

Hi Nuno, What operating system and version are you using? What version of GIMP are you using Do the tools not work when you click on them? Or is it that the Main Toolbox not displayed? As far as the video, you could stave it to a cloud storage site (Box, Dropbox, Google (something-or-other))

Re: [Gimp-user] Gaussian blur confusion

As the OP mentioned, the Filter options under Gaussian Blur are Auto, FIR, and IIRC. The GIMP 2.10 manual does, indeed, list filter options as Auto, FIR, and RLE, so I can understand the confusion. I typically use Auto, so I’ve never noticed the discrepancy before. Rick * * ** *** *

[Gimp-user] Opening uncompressed NASA image files in GIMP

Hi, I’m using GIMP 2.10.8 on an iMac. As a retired Data Manager of a NASA planetary image collection, I’m comfortable with image manipulation. I’ve even written and given lessons in how to make color and 3-D images from greyscale images. The main archive of NASA images is the PDS Imaging

Re: [Gimp-user] open pdf with range

Do you have an example of the PDF you’re trying to open? Is it a multi page document? A link to the PDF would be helpful, but it sounds like GIMP is giving you the opportunity to open a range of pages, that is, a sequence of adjacent pages. Hope this helps. Rick * * ** *** *

Re: [Gimp-user] macOS Mojave wont open GIMP.
