[Gimp-user] artefact create by GIMP when eps file imported
Hi all, I'm currently using GIMP 2.10.18 on windows 10 to import and convert .eps files but the import in GIMP create graphicals artefacts. See the artefact lines in the attached file . In start i thought it was my eps file taht was corrupted but when i import my pes files in other software (inkscape for example) I have no graphical problems. So something is wrong in GIMP import. I have tried to change the setting of the import but without luck. Have you any idea?

[Gimp-user] Gimp version
When I check the 'about' menu item, I see that I am running Gimp 2.10.18. When I check Ubuntu's software area, it lists Gimp 2.10.8-2. I assume that is an old version, but wonder why it would be there instead of 2.10.18. . . . and, if I have 2.10.18 on my machine, I'm wondering how it got there, as I only install Gimp from the Ubuntu software area. Maybe this is a question for the Ubuntu forum, but I am checking here in hopes that someone can inform me. Thanks.

I assume that is an old version, but wonder why it would be there instead of 2.10.18. Distros often have versions of software that are older than what may be available from the official site for a given program. They do it for any number of reasons. Some distros prefer to use only what they consider tried and tested software. Other distros provide software versions that are closer to the latest. Those distros can be for the more "adventurous types" or those that need to be running close to the current releases of software. You have some options. You can build the latest version of GIMP yourself but if you aren't used to building software it is not a trivial task to do it the first time. You can for a PPA for GIMP. That will let you install and update GIMP the same way you install other packages on your machine. The other option is to check the GIMP website for a downloadable file that will give you the latest version available. If you use the latter option it will likely be up to you to keep the program up to date. -- Cheers!

Thanks for the reply. I am certain now that I did download '18' as a snap from the software center. Still curious why that version does not appear when I search the software center. I remember having to set permissions before Gimp would work properly. I do use darktable extensively, as it is among my favorite RAW editors. On the Windows side, I use Capture One, also, IMHO, very good. I got rid of PSCC in favor of Gimp on both sides. I have experienced no problem with GIMP in conjunction with darktable, but have not tried to use any extra compiled plug-ins. I am an avid photographer (film and digital), and consider myself a fairly advanced user of photo-editing software, but I am certain there is much more that I could do by learning even more. Thanks again for your informative reply.

Guessing you use Ubuntu 19.10 based on Debian 10 and hence Gimp 2.10.8 is the default. If you have a Gimp 2.10.18 it is a 'snap' version from the so-called ubuntu software centre. The problem with snap applications is they are 'self-contained' & 'sandboxed' and can be limited if you ever intend to use any extra compiled plug-ins or external RAW editors such as Rawtherapee or Darktable. -- rich404 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

I've never liked these 'convenience' packages, just because of such issues; unfortunately they seem to be becoming more popular than regular installation packages. :-( ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Crop tool selects in reverse
When I click-drag to select an area with the Crop tool, it now selects away from where I drag, instead of selecting the direction I drag. (I cropped a couple images and got the standard behavior, but with the third I get this crazy behavior even if I reboot or try another image.) I couldn't google a fix. Various "inverse" settings don't resolve this. I'm not an advanced Gimp user, but most of the hundreds of operations I've done with Gimp have simply involved the Crop tool, so it is something I know how to use.

Bingo! Thank you very much, Liam! I guess maybe I typed a shortcut to do that?

Possibly mis-clicked in tool options, which is easy to do.
