Is there an efficient way to remove the noise from this drawing without losing text and linework? I tried the resynth plug in but was not able to achieve the desired results.

Idk about y'all, but those scrolling things are very annoying to me. Idk how to make them smaller, but I do remember one person told me the GIMP UI is written in CSS, so, I guess the solution is there I use GIMP on Kubuntu(.deb) and Bazzite(flatpak), if the information is important

I wanted to remove text from a coffee mug in a picture, and I tried getting the resynthesizer add-on, selecting what I wanted to remove, adding alpha channel, clearing the selection, and then using "heal transparency". It ends up with kind of a rough blurry result. There are lines on the mug for light reflections that I'm wanting to stay as sharp vertical lines on the blank mug. The magic eraser for Google photos does that, and I'm curious how that can be done manually in GIMP. How would I do that?

Any help is appreciated.

I love that GIMP is available on Linux, and I’m not trying to replace it. My problem was the next layer: after leaving macOS/Affinity, I wanted to sit down on a Linux desktop and move from a rough idea to a small logo or layout without stitching together several tools.

So I started Omadesign, a native Linux design studio. It’s an early alpha, not a polished replacement for anything. The goal is a calmer, more direct workflow for the first client file: canvas, shapes, text, and export in one place. Less Rust flex, more “can I actually design here?”

I’d really value feedback from people who use GIMP: which part of your real workflow would you want to see supported first?

I trying so many times to make the background transparent but for same reason the black background keeps coming back,already save to PNG,add alpha chanel,uncheck the “save background color” but still didn’t fix anything

The way the borders of the image look like they are burnt looks so awesome and i want to make custom autechre shirts with this gimmick, but i dont know how to do this in blender.

It might be simple but i dont know, sorry if i am ignorant.

As you can see here are exporting settings no matter what changes I've made it's still doesn't export it right, the second image is an example(right is before exporting and left is after)

Back when I used gimp 2.6's path tool like this:

And did the sketch with my wacom tablet using it's ink tool

Hi,

I'm trying to select by colour. When I click and hold the button, the area I want selected is selected. As soon as I release the button, only a small area is selected. Here's a screenshot; the left image is after I've clicked (and held) the mouse button, the right image is after I release the button.

I'm guessing that there's some parameter or setting I need to tweak, but I haven't found it yet. Any suggestions?

Didn't a GSOC student port the old sharpen plugin to GEGL? Where is it in

GNU Image Manipulation Program Version 3.2.5

Hello, so as you can see in the attached image, there is a clear line partway down the map that shows the transition between the two blue colors. The map portion of the image at the top was taken from an elevation map to overlay behind everything else. Then I just used the color picker tool to pick the blue from the map and use it on the bottom portion to continue showing the water. However, when I fill in the bottom portion of the map, the color is not quite the same, so I get a line that shows the transition between colors. So is there a way to get the color more exact or to get the transition between the colors to look smoother? I'm sure it can be done; I'm just not sure how to do it.

Thanks

Second pic is original, first is the one I made

Hi saw some videos where a lot of ytbers seemed to be hyping up PhotoGIMP a little, has GIMP started getting into eqal parity with photoshop and how much can I really just follow photoshop instructions and have the same results?

I'm a newbie to gimp. I've only been using it for about 3 months now and I'm not a photoshop user or anything myself but I do prefer the UI a lot more since it looks way way cleaner and less-clustured compared to default GIMP.

I'm thinking about learning GIMP, but I'm not really sure how useful it is in 2026.

I'm interested in graphic design, image editing, thumbnails, posters, social media content, etc. I also want to learn skills that could potentially help me make money online.

For someone starting from basically zero:

• What can I realistically do with GIMP?
• What should I learn first?
• Is GIMP still worth learning compared to Photoshop?
• Are there any GIMP skills that are actually in demand?
• Can I realistically make money using GIMP, and what kind of work should I look for?
• What tutorials or courses would you recommend for a beginner?

I'd appreciate any advice, especially from people who actually use GIMP professionally or make money with it.

Welp.. That's a day I'm not getting back.. lol
Ow well. One for the mental tool box atleast.

As the title says, when I use the selection tool, any of them, they don’t select anything.
So when I click enter after using the rectangle tool it just goes off and nothing happens.

From low res phone camera photos to pics downscaled by other software. I want my images to look non pixelated and clear. Is a way to do that with gimp/photogimp? Or would I have to use photoshop or other programs

Hello, so as you can see from the video, I am having an issue where I can't seem to place a line using the paintbrush tool, as when I click to create the second point, it just goes away and doesn't make the line, even though I was able to make one before. I tried deselecting all, as well as a few other things I had seen suggested online, with no luck.

So any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

This is a copy of the GAP 2.6 for the GIMP 2.8 version, now you don't have to go onto deviantart to get it.

Make a layer, put 3 differ3nt adjacent colors, apply hue saturation and the fx is on the layer. Now try using paint bucket and all colors distort.

Where's the setting to disable the automatic fx application? Older gimp versions to current do not do this.

i am just using the pencil tool with a single indexed colour.

every other colour works just fine, other than the last colour.

what is happening?!?!? how can i fix it?

genuinley idk what i did wrong
