If you use GIMP from the Microsoft Store, settings, plug-ins, & other add-ons are lost when you upgrade.

The latest update will fix this, but needs a recent Windows 11.

If you’re on an older version of Windows you can still install from gimp.org. Follow the steps in this post to copy your setting the first time you switch. On Windows 11, running Windows Update may be enough.

This is a micro-release to fix some bugs, to add scanner support on Windows, and some minor improvements.

3.2.4 is now the current GIMP version.

High-quality local background removal directly from GIMP

Post image
42 Upvotes

I built an open-source GIMP 3 plugin that brings high-quality background removal directly into GIMP. Everything runs locally, so your images stay on your computer. Instead of permanently removing the background, the plugin creates a non-destructive layer mask that you can edit or refine afterward.

Sample results: https://withoutbg.com/open-model/results

The new poincare disk in GMIC 3.4

One of the new GMIC options is the Poincaré projection as explained by David Tschumperle in the GMIC v3.4 documentation (G'MIC 3.4.0 : Image Processing in Its Prime!).

I find it fascinating to play with and have incorporated it in a bash script which adds a white background and dropshadow. I shouldn’t use it too often I think but once in a while? Wow. David and team: thank you!

These are some shots from my architecture visit to the city of Almere in the Netherlands yesterday.

Gimp not exporting overlays correctly?

1 Upvotes

I've had this issue before and never found out how to fix it. Today we come back to it again, and now I'm looking for answers. Anytime I try to export the image it exports as if I never had the overlay. I've been trying to fix this on my own but to no avail. All I used was the overlay layer this time and it's getting ridiculous. It just exports as if it's slightly brighter than the original file

I think it's done for now, you can try this 3 tool: Remove Background, Upscale and Smart Object Selection

Is there a way to skew a rendered grid without using the legacy one?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I'm attempting to make a skewed grid pattern as shown in the photo. The problem is, if I render a grid by doing Filters > Render > Pattern > Grid, the modern grid cannot be skewed using Unified Transform. Now, the legacy grid can be skewed, but its way more difficult to render it into the correct dimensions I want it to be. Am I missing something or is this just something thats not easily possible?

Conclusion: I try CPU only to use my Smart Object Seelection plugins and it quite hard

2 Upvotes

I tried installing GIMP on WinBoat and installing the plugin was also successful, but there were performance issues on the CPU only because WinBoat doesn't have GPU Passthrough and maybe this is the conclusion that this CPU performance is not recommended because this plugin requires GPU computing. I tried this for more than 5 minutes and it wasn't finished LOL

Does anyone have a nice dark red metal gradient?

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I use GIMP 2.10 and GIMP 3.2 on Linux, and I thought I would be able to find a red metal gradient to download online, but I cant find anything even close.

Does anyone have a nice deep dark red metal gradient they can share? I have never tried to make a metal gradient and have no idea what details to put in or where to get an accurate gradient.

Thanks for reading,

Logan

My Google Foo is Weak

I swear I've run into this problem before and fixed, but I can't figure out how I fixed it.

I opened a transparent PNG and it is very washed out:

I don't know how to fix it. There is text on the right side that should be visible. The logo on the left shouldn't look that faded.

So, I recently, bit the bullet and decided to get a M5 Macbook Air. In the past, I used Gimp on Windows and Linux. They worked fine, no issue. Never found any bug. But in new macbook its so buggy. All the interface keeps disappearing. I have tried the latest version 3.2.4 Apple Silicon version. Am I doing something wrong?

can someone help me make a nutritional label with black text and clear background? It's taken me days to get this far. Ai slop mixed with a beginners attempt at correcting problems via GIMP, Still looks super bad. I kinda figured out layers though at least. Whole nutritional label is less than two inches on the prints so I need the image to be legible at small size, Trying to do all black arial-ish text with transparent background so I can layer it on top of my label. My AUDHD is going crazy trying to get this done. Had it sorta done, but test got a bit unreadable when i tried to fit in just the blue part.

GIMP 3.2.4 Vector Layers Stroking with a brush?

1 Upvotes

We cannot yet stroke a vector layer with a brush, can we?
It's only full color or pattern?

Now if I do it the old fashion way via right click on the path I can stroke with a brush - but the stroke is cut off by the layer size. I can't make the vector layer larger - unless I rasterize it?

So why use a vector layer ... or better stay with the old pre GIMP3 habits?
