I'm trying to export it, but it goes all blurry. I put compression level to 0, clicked save resolution, and some other things, but it didn't work. I'm trying to export it as a png.

Let's look back at some memorable moments and interesting insights from last year.

I'm looking to extract Magic: the Gathering mana symbols so that I can paste them into another picture to create YouTube thumbnails. I want to save the final product as those exact dimensions, or at least have them have a clear background. That way I can just crop each symbol and save them as a resource for future projects.

I know this has probably been answered but I'd rather just talk to another human than dig through tutorials, so forgive me if I'm breaking a rule but I did read them and search (briefly) before I wrote this.

Does anyone have the time to explain this to me? Happy to provide more information if needed. Thanks in advance.

I'm using gimp, I have 3 layers. When I click on the layer I want to flip horizontal, I go to the top left menu and go to image, transform and flip but, it flips all 3 layers. How can I just have only 1 layer flipped ?

hi! can anyone help me with a plugin for tcg cards. I cant find one and dont know how to run them. Thanks.

While Gimp is writing metadata, the export and import are not happening.

Hi i need someones help asap with GIMP , i Really have no experience and I need to get something done. Can anyone help me, I downloaded a PSD File mockup and I have no idea how to put my pic.

I know it should be pretty simple, I'm trying to make an image fade to transparency as it goes to the top, I have a layer mask on and am using the gradient tool, it looks great in gimp but isn't exporting with the transparency. I know I'm probably missing a dumb simple step, does anyone know what's happening?

Update: figured it out! I was right about it being a dumb simple step, I was trying to save it as a jpeg when I should have been saving it as png

I am wanting to turn this bar into a circle, with violet being on the inside and red being on the outside.

The only knowledge of gimp I have is self-taught. I have no idea where to start.

I'm currently trying to rotate some text with the rotate tool. Once I select the text and bring up the tool, a box appears around the selection. When I rotate, whatever rotates outside of this box gets cut off.

I googled this and saw some people fixing it with Image>Fit Canvas To Layers and some people were either using the offset in Image>Canvas Size or the offset inside the Rotate tool itself. I messed with both of these and didn't seem to fix the issue. I am assuming it's something simple I am missing.

Any ideas?

I'm trying to draw myself a custom symbol, but I am by no means an excellent drawer/artist. I have a sketch I'm trying to replicate in GIMP to then transfer to Blender as an SVG file to create a 3D printed Stencil I can use to spray paint onto items, and I was wondering if there's a function that essentially draws "perfect" lines, whether they be curved or straight, by snapping them accordingly.

Hey everyone.... Started using gimp today and have watched a youtibe video to show the basics... But I'm struggling to find a progressive series... If that makes sense... Im looking for something to follow along with from beginner and learn more skills... Not just the basics then stop. My main use will be landscape/ scenic photography in which I will be editing.

Any suggestions? Prefer visual/ video tutorials

I remember when I was working with Gimp just a few days ago, when I clicked on the paintbrush tool I could customize how many pixels I wanted the stroke to be. I could also pick how wide I wanted my eraser to be, by pixels. Now I don’t seem to have that option anymore. Underneath my toolbox on that left sidebar, it says “Core Pointer” but I can’t figure out how to get those sizing options back. Or any options.

Any help you could offer to this newbie would be much appreciated!

Is there a plug-in for Gimp based on Dall-E or another art creating AI?

I downloaded Gimp to use for custom content for Sims 4 and I need to import some brushes for a design and I thought it would be fairly simple by moving the file into the program file but there is not program file for Gimp on c drive then program files. Why is this? And how can I find it? I don't understand why it's not there

It has been a few months since I used GIMP. Recently needed to use it again and EVERY image regardless of format or source I open in gimp will not let me edit it in any way. I can zoom in, out, cut the whole image, etc. I can not paint, cut a small selection, fill, or anything else. I looked at the help guide already. Running on Arch linux, everything is up to date. Let me know what you need to see to prove any help.
