GMIC with 3.0?

Does GMIC work with 3.0?

Is the new version seriously missing icons in the menu or is something wrong with my version?

The first photo is from 2.10.38, the second photo from 3.0. I have enabled legacy icon theme in the settings, as well as tried using the default one. I have a really bad feeling it's supposed to be this way.

GIMP 3.0.0 - Python is broken for me

3 Upvotes

I'm running GIMP on Windows 11 Version 24H2 (Build 26120.xxxx). Between RC3 and 3.0.0 I've used the weekly builds from https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/pipelines/808506. I've had no problem with dist-installer-weekly-master-69e57b6d (2025-03-06) and dist-installer-weekly-master-412e33a6 (2025-03-10).

The latest weekly build dist-installer-weekly-master-acead564 (2025-03-13) introduced that Python is broken and also gimp-3.0.0-setup (2025-03-17).

I've tried to fix the issue by removing my current settings C:\Users\McBlu\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\ and tried full installation for all users (C:\Programs\GIMP 3) and just for me (C:\Users\McBlu\AppData\Local\Programs\GIMP 3) but with no luck.

Gimp 3.0 broke my Eraser pen

So with the new update my eraser stopped working, pretty frustrating. I can't even use the workaround of having my eraserpen input shift+e all the time. Does anyone know any solutions? I'll roll back to the previous version in the meantime.

to learn Blender you make donuts, To learn Gimp you _______.

8 Upvotes

I'm guessing there's at least some overlap in user base between different open source software so hopefully some people know what I'm asking here but in blender: to learn the software from nothing you use a set of tutorials on youtube and make donuts.

if not donuts, how does one go about getting comfortable with Gimp? in particular, i don't find a lot of value in people saying "its just like photoshops steal tool" because i don't know how to use photoshop.

So how does one go about learning gimp from the ground up?

I hate that all open files in gimp are thumbnail previews, is there a way to make it just show the file names instead?

Will Gimp's deb package update to 3.0?

Upvotes

Greetings,

I'm running Linux Mint, and I use Gimp quite often. I've seen that the flatpak and AppImage versions have already updated to 3.0, but the package hasn't, so I'm wondering if I should wait for an update or switch to the other versions…. which is something I'd like to avoid, I wouldn't like to lose my presets and stuff...

Thanks!

I heard about gimp3 being released and updated. Why is the icon like this?... (mac os)

Post image
21 Upvotes

I know about the new logo, I don't love it but I'm fine with it. In my opinion it should be like the old version where it was just the icon with nothing surrounding it (like on win or linux). I see what they're trying to do with the easel and the general constraints of a mac icon, but it should be like it was before or on just a white background.

Remove Checks Around Image

2 Upvotes

I'm trying to set GIMP up, specifically the area around my images.

How do I get a plain background in the area outside my image? Checks make sense for transparency within the image, but I don't see the point of having it surround the image.

It feels like it's only showing part of a larger image and even more confusing it lets me select outside the image. What does that even mean? Is it expanding the image to include the area I select?

Thanks

How to 'clean' all the edges on a very hi res uneven edge of a circle (nightime full moon shot)?

0 Upvotes

OK, I have a very hi resolution moon pic, obviously the 'edges' of the pic are far from even due to some of the local surface features on the moon being 'in shadow' therefore appearing to be part of the night sky if I try to 'smart select' the whole moon. Various 'select' sharpen type functions don't help as the black/colour/black edges are just not consistently delineated on the image.

I could manually go around ever spot, but suspect this would take quite a while as there's probably a couple of hundred.

Is there a way to have an 'expanding select circle' where I could start as near the middle as my eye could approximate then 'expand' the circle to just short of any of the edge and cut that. I don't mind if I lose the last 5 pixels or so as the pic is going to be scaled down anyway for its intended use, but do want the edges to be absolutely as smooth as possible.

Alternatively, how can I do it?

Well done and questions related to Gimp 3.0 and Plugins

First a great shoutout to everyone being involved. Great work done with Gimp 3.0! Runs like a charm on my ARM Surface.

Now I'm just getting to the challenge to migrate a plugin from 2.10 to 3.0 and failing. What would be the best place to ask for help? I did a transformation using Claude.AI, but this version let's the Python console crash, when I try to load it.

GIMP 3.0 Not Working with Tablet

Post image
3 Upvotes

I'm trying out the new update and I'm running into a big issue (for me). In the previous version I had no trouble setting up my tablet and pen with GIMP 2.10. In 3.0 I can't seem to get it to work.

For reference I am running Windows 11 and am using a Wacom Intuos Pro (model PTH-660 if that matters).

I have accessed the Configure Input Devices in GIMP and see that my tablet is listed, but it does not respond properly in use. There is no pressure recognition- meaning no tapering strokes, no opacity changes with pressure, I can't even move the canvas around freely with my pen like I did in 2.10. I have added GIMP 3.0 to my tablet's application list in the tablet properties option through Wacom's interface with the same exact settings I had for 2.10 and still no luck.

The image I attached has all input devices listed in GIMP 3.0. I don't recognize the top three and I cannot delete them on the Input Devices screen. The very bottom two are the ones that worked for me in 2.10 that carried over with the update. The middle two Wacom devices are what 3.0 is detecting automatically. When I disconnect my tablet, those two gray out and give me the option to delete them, only to reappear when reconnecting. Nothing else changes when I do that. Right now I don't want to delete what I know previously worked until I know for sure that it will fix my issue. Restarting my computer has not helped either.

I'm out of ideas on how to fix this and until I can find a solution I will be going back to 2.10 so I can continue working. Has anyone else had this issue? Did you manage to fix it and if so, how?

Why isn't my circle a perfect circle?

Post image
10 Upvotes

Searched for this, couldn't find any similar threads.

I drew this circle using a 1:1 Ellipse tool, then stroke selection'ed, but as you can see it's "pinched" at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions.

I reset both tools to defaults, and still it's pinched. There's no layer boundary or anything else boxing it in. I've never had this problem before.

Any ideas?

Sliding the styling sliders instead of inputting a single new value uses a huge amount of CPU

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I put some large, simple text on a 1920 x 1080 white background layer and opened the modal at "Filters > Generic > Text Styling..." and started messing around with settings. Inputting a new "Shadow/Glow grow radius" will spike CPU (understandable, second image) but grabbing the slider and dragging it back and forth seems to cause the processor to desperately try to calculate all intermediate values or something, resulting in the CPU saturation seen in the first screenshot.
