# GIMP
[GIMP](https://www.gimp.org/) is a popular cross-platform program for editing pictures.
## Setup
The GIMP program can be installed from files found on
[the official website](https://www.gimp.org/downloads/).
Alternatively many [Linux](/wiki/linux.md) [package managers](/wiki/linux/package_manager.md)
package GIMP in the `gimp` package.
## Usage
This section addresses the usage of GIMP.
### Scale Image
An image that is already loaded into GIMP can easily be scaled down (or up) by selecting
`Scale Image` under the `Image` tab.
Alternatively the scale tool reachable via `Ctrl+S` can be used.

### Pascal-GPUs and New Drivers
On some operating systems like [Arch Linux](/wiki/linux/arch-linux.md) the newer versions of
drivers are not compatible with Pascal GPUs anymore as explained in
[the german Arch forum](https://www.archlinux.de/news/35689-Nvidia-Treiber-ab-Version-590-stellen-den-Support-fuer-Pascal-GPUs-ein).
This is due to the drop of support for these cards from Nvidias site.
If Pascal-GPUs are still used some minor changes need to be performed and some packets need to be
replaced.
On Arch Linux-based systems this can be achieved by replacing the packages `nvidia-open` and
`nvidia-open-utils` with `nvidia-580xx-dkms`, `nvidia-580xx-utils` and `lib32-nvidia-580xx-utils`.
If upgrading from a Pascal-GPU to a newer version this change needs to be undone.
After the packages are changed it is important to
[rebuild the initial ramdisk](/wiki/linux/mkinitcpio.md#manually-generate-initial-ramdisk) and
reboot the system.

### Error `error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/core.db: Unrecognized archive format`
If the error `error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/core.db: Unrecognized archive format`
or a similar one with another database file is thrown it can mostly be easily fixed by removing the
database file with the following command.
```txt
rm -rf /var/lib/pacman/sync/*
```
Alternatively - and this is probably a bit safer - the files can be temporarily be moved somewhere
else and removed after confirming the error was fixed.

##### Set Background Color
The background color can be set using the `xcolor` package and the `\pagecolor` command.
The following lines show a working example where the background color is set to the hexadecimal
color `<hexcol>`.
This needs to be changed (for example to `E0D6C0` for a parchment like color).
```tex
\usepackage{xcolor}
\definecolor{background}{HTML}{<hexcol>}
