r/GIMP

Hi everyone,

I'm using GIMP (obviously)

The image is: .PNG - 72 DPI - 4.306" x 1.958" and I need it to be 0.40" high.

I resize it smaller to: 0.875" x 0.403" (keeping the ratio)

I export in .JPG and set the quality to 100

And the image is blurred. I tried all available interpolations (Noen, Linear, Cubic, NoHalo, LoHalo) and it's the same results.

How can I resize the image smaller and keep it nice? It's NOT for printing, so that option is out.

Thanks!

Hi all! New here. I use GIMP regularly to edit images for use on role-playing games. Unfortunately, my knowledge of GiMP is just enough that I’m a danger to myself and others - I use about 20% of the programs capabilities.

I recently assembled the image below from 26 individual map pages, originally printed in 1985. I’m not quite finished yet, I still have to match colours from the various pages, fix seems, etc. What I want to do is create a meandering road across the map centre horizontally. How do I create a brush that is bordered in black with a brown centre, even “dirt patterned” if possible. I’d like to make it 4 or 5 pixels wide and just use the mouse to then draw a road on the map below.

Can someone please explain to me how? Treat me like I’m 5, I won’t be insulted. In fact there are 5 year olds who I’m sure already know how.

I've been trying to change the color on a gif so it can fit the theme of my personal brand. I'm trying to convert #0097ff to #6c63ff or #ff7ac0.
I am attempting this using Color Exchange.

When I insert this into the HTML Notation, it's not converting.... Why is that?

I’m trying to find or create my own sort of template/net for a standard UK cigarette packaging Z011 (Google to see example) and I can’t find anyway to create it in GIMP. I just really want to have a template or at least get some in depth help on making one. I’m a teenager and I’m kind of new to it all I usually only make cd cases and I’m out of my depth. I beg someone help😭🙏

As the title says. Each update resets my settings for filters and my brushes. And I couldn't find any option to opt-out of updating.

I use GIMP (v. 3.0.4) to import PDF files that were bad photocopies, either the pages weren't straight and/or I want to crop them. Not sure why, but when I tried to do crop a PDF today, that option is disabled and I can't enable it (i.e. it is greyed out).

Did I accidentally disable something or import the PDF wrong (using default settings including "Open pages as Layer". I'm very confused.

Any help much appreciated.

Hello, I've been playing with Gimp for years cause I love editing and photo manipulation.
I'm self-taught but I might be considered a beginner since I only focus on specific aesthetics outside of the commercial designs sphere, so lately I've been thinking about getting serious with learning graphic design and photo manipulation and since Gimp is the only software I can get hold of cause it's free I want to know if Gimp is enough to land a job in this field ( or even a freelance at least ) without having to go through the Adobe chains.

I'm trying to make a template where I can add an image and have text always be in the same spot and editable (think like those old pokemon trading card meme generators) I'm trying to make something similar for a mod I'm working on for a related project.

I.e. have a title at the top editable and always in the same spot, description, etc.

Say I have a rectangular canvas ... and I go a little way in from the bottom right corner... and then I click and hold and drag the mouse in downwards-right direction ...

The idea should be that you then get a canvas which has a bottom right corner which is dragged down and right ... and that the whole of the area of the canvas (and thus image) is distorted around the area where you did the click and drag ...

If canvases can only ever be rectangular ... then what about a box with some image in it, with lots of empty space between its edges and the edges of the canvas ... is there a way to perform this sort of pull-and-stretch that way?

Exactly how Gimp applies and distributes the stretching effect might be subject to one or two parameters ... first question though: can it be done, and if so please give me some cursory idea of what I have to do, thanks.

I'm trying to make a gif and want to keep the first frame since all the others are transparent, but using "(keep)" still causes it to flash for 100ms like all the other frames.

I've already tried downloading the plugin from system or usr, and the same thing happened with GIMP; the plugin didn't work. Does anyone know what the problem might be? I checked the GIMP folders, it recognizes them as plugins, and there they are (/app/extensions/plug-ins), and the Resynthesizer plugin files were there too (I'm using Linux Mint Cinnamon).

Not sure what am doing wrong or if something changed.

But when trying to crop the layers of a gif was working on the link all layers option seems missing?

I do not want to have to manually link 200 frames!

What am I missing? Or what got moved/removed?
