Help with GIMP
I am following the saderan tutorial, except in GIMP. In order to create continents, I used the cloud filter. On my other computer (Version 2., when I use the cloud filter it opens a new window to edit the filter's size and detail. On my main computer (Version 2.10.4), it does not. Is there a way to turn this on?
gimp 2.8 and 2.10 are VERY!!!!!! different tools
so things are a bit different
so two different machines are giving you different results

I just want to be able to edit the clouds filter. I know you can do it on 2.10.4 because I did it at first, but I don't know how and can't reproduce it. Other filters open the edit menu when you use them, as in 2.8 with the clouds.
Just for clarification, I am talking about the window that opens. It has a preview of the filter's effect, and allows me to edit the detail and size, among other things.
In 2.10.2 (which I'm using) Clouds are not a GEGL function under Filter->Render->Noise->Solid Noise and there is a selector that displays a full layer/selection preview or not. There is no preview in the dialog itself.

I used to use the differnce clouds plugin a lot in 2.8 for randomization effects; however, since it's been gone, I've used the render noise plugin in 2.10. I think render noise is essentially the same functionality of render clouds now (although, there are probably a bunch of technical differences that I don't know about).
To generate the "clouds" i would recommend this:
create a new layer called "clouds"
generate random noise using
Filters > Render > Noise > Render Noise;
adjust the paramaters to your liking then click ok.
(I would recommend a high detail, low X and Y resolution setting)
Then, use the threshold plugin
Colors > Threshold
Adjust to your liking.
Hope this helps
Sorry, yes, I actually meant it is a GEGL function, as they l display previews on the active layer. It is the older ones that had an in-dialog preview.Originally Posted by Sam101
Fingers were moving faster then my brain, and I failed to proof, sorry for any confusion.
