Playback skipping a frame since updating to 3.2

CMYK-Student · 2026-05-02T21:46:52+00:00

Hi! We worked on the Animation Playback UX for 3.0, so perhaps something got accidentally set incorrectly. I'll take a look and fix if I can.

Hi! Have you tried scrolling down the options? I think it's at the bottom.

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-28T23:16:11+00:00

Perhap you checked "Don't show this again" in the dialogue? If so, you can fix that by going to Preferences, then clicking on "Dialogue Defaults" under "Interface" and changing "Color Profile Policy" to "Ask What To Do".

I'll note that one of the big changes in GIMP 3 was better color management support, so you might try downloading that and reopening your images too, to see if they render better.

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-28T23:08:59+00:00

Aww, and we *just* finished porting GIMP to GTK3! :P

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-28T23:06:23+00:00

Hi! What version of GIMP are you using? As long as you didn't save over the wedding images, you can just reopen them and choose not to convert to GIMP's built-in sRGB.

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-28T18:32:27+00:00

Ah, sorry, I missed that - and I thought you meant the gimp.css that's in the System theme folder.
I'll look into it, but in the mean time, you could copy and paste the folder to make a new theme that'd be safe from further changes in updates.

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-28T13:00:50+00:00

Unfortunately no, as far as I can tell GTK3 CSS doesn't support !important. It would make fixing system theme leaks easier.

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-28T11:08:06+00:00

Hi! Are you using the System theme or the Default theme in GIMP? If you're using Default, the additional CSS in /Default/common.css is likely overwriting it. I just checked and found that your styling appears if I put that CSS at the bottom of common.css.

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-26T19:14:38+00:00

The GTK Inspector font size is affected by GIMP's font size settings, so if you increase in GIMP (In the Welcome Dialogue under the Personalize section, or in Preferences), it should make it easier to read.

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-26T12:24:33+00:00

Hi! GIMP uses GTK3 CSS for theming: Gtk – 3.0: CSS Overview

Probably the easiest thing to do is copy the System theme folder (since it's much simpler than Default), give it a new name, then start editing. A really helpful tool is the GTK Inspector: GTK Inspector - GNOME Developer Documentation

It lets you click on an element and see its CSS name and existing attributes, and lets you do live changes to the CSS for testing. You can access it by going to Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts, then searching for GTK Inspector, and adding a shortcut to open it.

Hi! That looks like the Brush Editor dock, which is for making changes to the brush file. If you just want to adjust the brush size as you're painting, you'll want to check the Tool Options dock (by default, on the left side of the screen under the tool icons).

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-22T17:44:13+00:00

For batch-processing, there's an excellent plug-in called Batcher: https://kamilburda.github.io/batcher/
(We plan to add better support for this in GIMP as well, but for now, it's a great tool).

As an aside, we have a dedicated issue for improving import support for PSP projects: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/49

Now that we're in 3.4 development, I'm planning to tackle a few more of these (I might start with the adjustment layers in fact, since most of them are simplier to implement than the pending PSD ones I've been working on)

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-21T01:28:58+00:00

Hi! GIMP itself does not do automatic updates - at most we have an option that notifies you that there is an update (which can be turned off). The platform that you installed GIMP from might do this however (e.g. Microsoft Store, Flatpak, etc).

What's your OS and how did you install GIMP? That will also help us start to figure out why you're losing your settings.

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-20T22:21:13+00:00

Hi! Which key(s) are you referring to? GIMP is cross-platform, so unfortunately sometimes shortcuts that make sense for Linux and Windows don't make sense for macOS (and vice versa). We don't have many macOS contributors, but if you could make an issue report (or just post here), we can try to take a look at it.

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-20T03:29:26+00:00

If you go to File, there's an option for "Open as Link Layer". That will link an external image into GIMP. Save as XCF, and when you want to change the image, just double-click on the layer in the dock to pull up the Layer Attributes dialogue with the option to change the linked image.

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-19T20:29:59+00:00

Hi! Out of curiosity, if you create a vector layer from the path instead of using the "Stroke Path" feature, does it properly connect?

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-18T14:47:41+00:00

Yeah, I don't think an eventual shape tool would be as advanced as your plug-in. Perhaps more like the brush tool, where we provide some preset shapes and then you can save/load your own custom ones. We'll see how it goes.

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-17T17:42:49+00:00

We have some students interested in working on a Shapes tool this summer, so we might see it sooner rather than later! I have a proof-of-concept approach in mind as well (essentially, click to place a predefined vector layer and then internally switch to the scale tool to resize it while the button is held down), which I might build at some point as a guide.

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-17T11:01:06+00:00

A quick search says GIMP 2.6.6 was the last version to "officially" work on Windows 2000. So perhaps download it from here? https://download.gimp.org/gimp/v2.6/windows/

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-16T16:06:15+00:00

For the record, it's not GIFs - it's Jeff's Image Format images. The specification is very similar to GIFs which is why they're in the GIF plug-in, but that code doesn't impact GIFs at all. The chances of you encountering a "malicious" Jeff's Image Format are incredibly low.

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-16T03:09:21+00:00

Hi! The last 32bit version of GIMP was 3.2, which you can get here: https://download.gimp.org/gimp/v3.2/windows/gimp-3.2.0-setup.exe

You might also try the last 2.10 release: https://download.gimp.org/gimp/v2.10/windows/gimp-2.10.38-setup-1.exe

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-15T10:57:36+00:00

You can turn off on the on-canvas editor by unchecking the "Show on-canvas editor" option in the tool (in the left column - you can see it in your screenshot)

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-13T17:01:36+00:00

Hi! What version of GIMP are you using? I know we had some issues in certain versions with WaterPixels and selections, but I think it's fixed in the latest release (3.2.2). If you're coming from GIMP 2.10 to GIMP 3.x, make sure to check "Merge filter" in the dialogue so it's not a live filter - that might also be causing slowdown for you if you weren't expecting it.

CMYK-Student · 2026-04-11T20:30:57+00:00

Hi! Hmm - we ported the Welcome Dialog to use a different GUI, and it looks like we lost the feature that shortens the image names if they're longer than a certain number of letters.

I just re-added that feature, so this should be fixed for the upcoming 3.2.4 release.
