Re: [Gimp-user] Problem with text

If it's the same issue, it's been happening to me for quite some time now. https://imgur.com/SYDKSAH.png The only solution I've found that works every time is to discard the text information, lock the alpha channel, and fill with the color you want. Depending on the mode, desaturating still

[Gimp-user] Gimp crash on copy/paste

I'm hoping there is a troubleshooting guru out there willing to help me. I've been dealing with this problem for months now and really want to get to the bottom of it. I use gimp every single day but I am unable to use copy/paste. Others have experienced this problem and it seemed to always be

I haven't looked in a while, but the last time I did I decided on https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iudesk.android.photo.editor It's by far the best editing app I could find for android, but not sure it's much for a painting program. On Sun, Sep 30, 2018, at 11:46 AM, Ivano Da

Just as another option for PC, Mac, or Linux is XnView/XnViewMP. It's a great image viewer/organizer/converter and would use it regardless, but you can configure multiple programs to open an image in and then access them by shortcuts. When I find an image I want to open in gimp I just hit

Here is an old script I use for just this. I created a shortcut to drop crosshairs whenever I need them. I like it because there are no menus or options, just hit the shortcut and it's done. https://www.dropbox.com/s/7axl454tbx44i4k/Gregs%20Crosshairs.scm?dl=1 For more complicated guides, I

It's unreasonable to use gimp to recreate a logo of maybe two to three words? I certainly don't need a full blown text editor for that and would look elsewhere when I do. Not sure if you read my reply, but I only spoke about an existing feature that is unusable in certain situations such as

I use the text tool a lot myself and have just come to work around most the annoyances. I realize that it's a tricky situation as there are a ton of variables to consider as well as multiple workflows. I am just chiming in to agree wholeheartedly with #4. I recreate logos and have to match

If you want to get it as exacting as possible, I'd recommend using the path tool, then locking the alpha channel and cloning the edges. I did your book from the first image real quick and made a 4 min video. I can explain more if this is what you're after. I didn't compress the video so

[Gimp-user] 2.10.2 Memory Leak?

This has been happening a lot, but not sure how to troubleshoot it. If I don't shut gimp down periodically, My system will start to freeze up. Closing all the active images inside of gimp has no effect on it's memory usage. Most information should be in the screenshot. Happy to provide anything
