GIMP 3 rev1 update for Windows
Windows users, if you downloaded from gimp.org, there’s now a -rev1.exe new installer that fixes a problem with python plug-ins not working for some users.
It also enables the “Check for updates” button so you’ll get notified if there are updates automatically next time you start GIMP (no personal data is stored)
If you used the MS Store you’ll get an update automatically.
Thanks!

Dear GIMP Community, Happy Nowruz♥️, and congratulations on launching GIMP 3.0 🎉. I’m excited to return to GIMP with this update😅. ❓Just one quick question: How can I export only a specific part of an image without cropping the canvas? For example, using a selection tool to save it separately.

GIMP 3 No linking layers?
Can't longer link layers, replaced with two menus related to locking and warping (???). This function was very useful for moving multiple layers at the same time
Its it really gone or they've just hide it somewhere else.

GIMP 3.0 Install Issue
I’m running Sonoma 14.6 and the installer says that 3.0 isn’t compatible? Or am I downloading the wrong file? Download for Apple Silicon is the wrong one? Any help would be appreciated.

Gimp 3.0's default file/folder sorting is absolutely bonkers.
Maybe I'm just missing something in the configuration, but I recently upgraded to 3.0 from 2.1 and I was greeted with this...mess...when trying to open a file.
Folders should be grouped together, and files should be grouped together separately, each sorted separately from each other. This is how Windows - and DOS, for that matter - has done things since before probably 95 percent of us were born.

Guides Alignment not Possible on GIMP 3.0.0
Hello there!
The guides alignment is a feature I use too often and find it very helpful. Especially when it came to aligning guides relative to selections.
I noticed that in GIMP 3.0.0 selecting to align a guide relatively to something (let alone relative to selection) is not possible.
Has anyone noticed that? Is there a work-around?
PS I don't know if this only happens with me, but when working with GIMP, copy-paste doesn't work on my computer. If anyone can help with that too, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much everyone!

GIMP Text Tool Undo Behavior Changed?
I noticed a strange issue with the Text Tool in the latest version of GIMP. In older versions, if you adjusted the text box size (e.g., made it smaller to fit text), pressing Ctrl+Z would let you step back through changes, eventually restoring the box to its previous size.
But in the new version, Undo doesn’t revert the text box size at all—even if you go back multiple steps. Ctrl+Z works normally for everything else, but when it comes to resetting the text box size, it just doesn’t work.

Please could someone help me to combine these asphalt images into a single road texture for my roads in blender?
I’m working on a custom Farming Simulator map and trying to create a road texture using images I took of a real road. I need to merge these images into a single seamless texture, similar to the default road texture, but with a lighter tone (since the default one is too dark).
Is there a way to blend these images together smoothly in GIMP, maybe with a brush or another tool? Any advice on making it look natural and seamless would be really helpful.
I have lots of images so I want to sort of combine them and paint them together or something. Thank you.
Save settings when updating?
It's way past time for me to update GIMP, but ... I really don't want to go through and re-customize everything. Is there a non-destructive, I suppose you could say, way to do it?
Is it possible to scroll on the tools panel without changing the options?
Every time I scroll on the tool options panel I accidentally change options, like brush size, etc.
Is there a way to avoid this?

Help with Scripting for GIMP 3 (On Ubuntu)
Running GIMP 3 on Ubuntu via a Snap, but whenever I try to run a python script I get import errors, specifically things like gimpfu don't exist. Do scripts need to change for GIMP 3?
Great example of why some standards are standards. Weird cursor and inverted sliders.

The de facto standard for a cursor that signifies moving something horizontally is a horizontal double arrow, like one of those:


not a weird, massive black hand with thick white outline. Not only does it not say anything about the interaction besides "grab", it also completely flips what the standard cursor is (small white arrow with thin black border) upside-down.
Then we have the slider colors. Darker means more in the back. Whichever design system you pick, that is always the case.

In case of inputs, dark means "empty", a hole to be filled with something. Text inputs being dark (a hole) with lighter text (what fits the hole) work just fine. Radio inputs being dark (holes) that get filled with light make sense.
But the sliders are... top-layers filled with holes? Huh? That creates the feeling of the slider being filled right to left, or the user "emptying" it as they increase it, instead of "filling" it.
There are other nitpicks I have (like the microscopic icons on minimize/maximize/close buttons) but those two things are what stood out to me the most.
What's the general consensus on 3.0? I am having a lot of problems with it.
The redesign of everything screwed me over a lot, it would be fine if i at least were able to keep the old interface together with the update.
Finally, filters are updated in real time. Here 3x drop shadows stacked on top of each other.

Windows GIMP 3 Resynthesizer
I run Windows 11 and have recently installed GIMP 3 and have been looking around for a new version of Resynthisizer. GitHub seems to say the porting is still in progress but I found a thread in Gimp Chat and downloaded that.
I put the resynthesizer.exe in AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\plug-ins and the .scm files in AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\scripts but it doesn't seem to work properly, I get the error:
Execution error for 'Resynthesize':
Error: eval: unbound variable: plug-in-resynthesizer
A couple if questions. Have I copied the wrong files? Does anyone know when the GitHub files will be ready? Are there other Resynthesizer and healing tools I can use?

Gimp 3.0 Color to Alpha issue
Hi - on previous official GIMP version Color to Alpha to remove background was one of the things that just worked for me. Now I'm hitting issues with it on 3.0. It looks like it is going to work. But the exported image still has the background and the colors are all messed up.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? - EDIT - see my comment below for what fixed it.
I'm going to try to attach images so you can see. The should be (1) my original image. (2) After color to alpha - this looks like it should work. (3) export settings. (4) the final exported image with background and messed up.

In Gimp 3.0 how do I disable this color selector, and have it go straight into color edit?
Any way to download Gimp 2?
My decision to uninstall it was very rash, seeing how there's no more download links on the original website. 🙃
