I make a photo editor my dog is demon! Look real! I love gimp. Before my original photo picture dog.

Made in Gimp

Bonjour ! Je vais commencer une formation de 22h mais j’hésite encore entre GIMP et AFFINITY. C’est pour faire des typons pour de la sérigraphie. J’utilise déjà inkscape, mais j’aimerai compléter avec un logiciel libre.
Est ce que le tramage est facile sur GIMP ? J’ai une tablette x Pen pro Gen 2, est ce facile de l’utiliser sur GIMP ?
Des connaisseurs de ces 2 logiciels ( pour créer des calques pour de la SÉRIGRAPHIE!) merciii !

It's been fun so far. Amazing (not sure if it's even possible to ruin them, though...) hard round and oval brushes, and my GOAT block 01 brush. I added another pack, but I haven't used it yet.

I don’t remember if there were different swatches/palettes in PS or what they were like, I haven’t used it in years, but the ones in GIMP are really nice.

I was surprised that zooming in and out of the canvas isn't set to the mouse wheel by default. I figured it out, but it seems like a weird decision to me. But overall, it's good. Maybe not exactly artist friendly, but still good.

Hello.

I asked ChatGPT to generate character sprites in the *Street Fighter Alpha* style, which it did in a large format. I then reworked the result in GIMP to make it look closer to the original sprites from that game (I set the posterization level to 8 and converted the image to "indexed color" mode with a maximum of 32 colors).

The issue—which you can see in this zoomed-in comparison, with an original *Street Fighter Alpha* character sprite on the left and my edited sprite on the right—is that my edited sprite has a smoothed-out appearance, whereas the original game sprite is perfectly sharp.

How can I achieve the same look for my sprite as the original sprite from Street Fighter Alpha?

I have a layer and I'm wanting to colour over without erasing the detail that was there prior, but my dark teal is turning out as light blue.

re opened gimp the next day after making a hex crawl(for mythic bastionland) and found that the assets i were using seems to be appear very different despite not changing any settings(that im aware of), included 2 examples to show you what i mean. anyone know why and how to reverse it? thanks in advance

Still art was fully made already, I just wanted to organize layers

This might be an extremely dumb question, but WHY, when using the zoom tool, is left click not automatically zoom in, and right click zoom out? I think you should be able to pick the reverse if wanted, but clicking a button to choose zoom in/out over and over again drives me crazy. Of course it's only "mediumly" frustrating, but it seems like something that would be so easy and practical to implement. If this is already a setting or if I'm completely missing the point please let me know.

It works on Gimp 2.0, but doesn't work on 3.2.6. Same settings. On 2.0 it blurs just as expected. In 3.2.6. It does not. Is there something I'm missing? The settings are set to default. And If I mess with rate or opacity there's no change at all. The only thing different is that there's tablet support on 3.2.6 and not in 2.0. I'd rather not make selections and do gaussian blur all the time as I doodle.

So, I am working on an editing experiment which involves removing text from logos, and I encountered a stumbling block which I cannot seem to figure out. In one of the logos, there was a moon object that had a gradient which radiated outward from it (which extended around 69px). In order to remove the text, I had to remove the gradient, but I cannot seem to recreate it.

So far, I have created a selection of about 69px surrounding the moon object by alpha selecting the layer the moon is on, growing the selection, and then using fuzzy select to remove the space that the moon would by in from the selection, then filling that selection using the gradient tool, using the spherical shape. Yet, I cannot figure out how to remove the mirror gradient created on opposite side of the moon object. So what should I do from here?

I've attached a photo showcasing the problem, and how I want the gradient to work.

EDIT: Thank you for all of the tips and tricks! I used u/Stratelier's suggestion of resizing the image canvas before doing the whole selection process/gradient thing, since it game me the greatest amount of control. But in the future, I'll keep in mind the drop shadow technique as well!

just received the printed version in the mail today...just a fun little mini-project.

the base 3d fractal image was modeled & imported. the spacecraft, lighting, and background effects were painted with brush tools in gimp

sorry for the bad photo, the reds aren't really that bright

Hello, I have used various GIMP versions since 2006 with the same scanner, and suddenly with this new update I no longer see my scanner. I go to File, then Create, then select Scanner/camera, and nothing happens. The scanner is a Canon LiDE 25. I have tried deleting all GIMP versions from the PC, then reinstalling 3.2.6, no luck. I am running Windows. The scanner itself is hooked up to the PC correctly and is making its usual start up noises. The only change since my last successful scan is the upgrade to the new GIMP version.

Has anyone had a similar problem and been able to correct it?

Or, if this is a known issue with 3.2.6 and I won't be able to use my scanner at all, is there a way to download an older version? Please note for your responses that I am not particularly technologically adept.

Thank you very much

Since Miraheze was down for 10+ hours and it took down the My Life as a Teenage Rabbot Wiki alongside it. This was due to a nasty vulnerability found in PHP the other night, I had nothing else to do but make the new logo and artwork for KMPL. KMPL-DT is the television station that's seen in My Life as a Teenage Rabbot and serves as the main broadcaster for Mapleville Ridge, Iowa, the fictional city in a real-life US state. It also serves the surrounding counties as well, such as Peachwood, North Valley, Parkcaster, and Rockworth Island, plus Yumika Falls. Here, I made the new logo and other assets for the station and my own take on what would the DTV transition would be like for KMPL. Since there was little to no references or even screenshots of what the DTV transition of 2009 looked like back then over 10 years ago, I winged it and went with my own adaptation in GIMP. This was mainly based off from memory the best I can remember, but I'll certainly be reworking on the sign-off screen some other time.

I've been using GIMP for quite some time now, since I was introduced to it in high school's Windows computers, and never had much of an issue.I recently hopped on Void Linux and, I don't know if this has anything to do, but transform tools like resize work really weirdly. For example I'll try to resize a layer and I'll only have controls for the portion that is in frame. Anything out of the canvas is also out of the transformed layer. While I'm using it I can also see the original layer behind the transformed one, which is weird and annoying, and when I'm done I suddenly have a floating layer. I have no idea why this started happening or if it's Void specific. Could anyone give me a hand with this? Also I can't record my screen

Hi reddit, i've been using gimp for a while but now i'm realizing one of the features i used a lot had disappeared overnight with an update about a few years ago. I've not had to use it but realized now its quite a good feature..

Basically, it would allow your layer to stack ontop of eachother without mixing or overlaying on eachother, just taking the layer above to clip into the one directly below allowing the layer to not overlay on a layer below that one like in a drawing app (akin to firealpaca).

That feature was where the lock is now on the tab in the lower right corner of the app. It was so easy to use you just had to click once and an arrow would show its on as the layer became "darkened" in the tab and would work as described prior.

Anyone knows if that feature is still there and how I can unlock it? I really need it

Hi, I'm new-ish to using GIMP and I was wondering if there is any way to make speedpaints out of an existing piece of work?

I used to use ibis paint and it was just nicely built in on there, but when I moved over to my laptop, I opted to use GIMP because it's free and mostly easy for me to understand, and I miss making videos showing the whole process.

I'm on MacOS Sequoia 15.6.1 running Gimp 3.2.6. Loving that I can load HEIC images now!

But I'm running into problems with fonts. No matter what font I select in the Text palette, every new text layer ends up defaulting to Monospace font.

I've tried googling it but I just get help for previous versions of Gimp, which didn't have this problem.

Is there a fix or a workaround for this problem?
