  bend-path for Gimp 3
Posted by: rich2005 - 09-20-2026, 08:52 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

I have tried...Wink Inkscape path envelope-deform and then into gimp. Painfull.

This is Ofnuts ofn-bend-path plugin for Gimp 2.10 run through AI to convert to Gimp 3... Minor differences but it does work. At least it works this week, no guarantee that it will work after next Gimp update.  Unzip attachment and put in your User plug-ins folder.

For those that have not come across it, it works like this.

   

(1) You have a path that you want to deform. Very often text for a logo, (use layer -> Text to Path)  There is a second path, the envelope. It consists of two stokes (no more, no less) to contain the deformed path. It has to be a little wider than the first path. The order you make them does not matter.

(2) The plugin registers in Filters->Render->Bend Path...  Some parameters to set, make a choice.

(3) Browse for those paths you made, Path to bend  and Envelope.

   

OK the plugin and there is a new deformed path.

   

The guides parameter uses two horizontal guides which applies an offset.

What used to work but (AFAIK) not now. Gimp 2.10 linked layers paths worked, Gimp 3 selected layers paths - no.

There is a substantial thread on Ofnuts Gimp 2.10 plugin here: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-ofn-bend-path

  adding some more Effects - like LHC-character to the image ..
Posted by: saint_m - 09-19-2026, 08:55 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

good day dear friends 

 i am currently workin on a image - and well i find it a kind of boring 


see the imag

what if we add some other colors that look fresh or even better - add some LHC-character to the image .. 


hnmm - well i guess that we would get the imare in a more interesing fashion.

or - additionally : we would get some kind of a hmm - lets say glowing network of connected dots that come with some lines with ( bokeh lights abstract connection ).
Hmm i guess tha we do not necesarily need some abstract glowing networks that range from yellow dots and lines and come along the color-spectrum till we got red and purple ( bokeh ) lights on a dark blue background. But a test would be awesome. 

i will try to apply this to the image. 

any ideas - i look forward to hear from you

greetings Smile

btw:; see the image :        and see the so calle LHC-idea

btw - what if we would apply lhc-colors to this

   



hmmm - how would this look like!?

  Gimp 3.2 create indexed color image ist different from 2.10
Posted by: bluedxca93 - 09-16-2026, 04:30 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi, 
I did try to create a Screen Print draft
Then because of my sloppy File saving as jpg i wanted to reconvert IT to PNG and only as two colors to Print  black one a transparent foil using a normal laser printer. However the indexing mechanism somehow works different on Gimp 2.10 and 3.2. The thresholding Filter also behaves very differently. New Version works better for high res while Gimp 2.10 IS more accurate on Low res. Ist there a reason or an explanation what exactly changed with 3.2?

  I have written a plugin for sending image to Krita. Can I also write a plugin for se
Posted by: zzh - 09-14-2026, 05:53 AM - Forum: Other graphics software - No Replies

Hello! I have written a plugin to send image to krita, and I also want to write a plugin to send images to gimp. Can I make some changes to achieve this? In addition, I have developed software that works with plugins. You can download it by searching for "Data to 3D Pro" on the App Store. This software has many functions and can assist in painting. To download the plugin, you can click on this link: https://github.com/zzh2024424/krita-plugin . You can write your own app or software to use with this plugin. If it is for Android, you need to replace the "com. example. datato3d/. MainActivity" in the "adc_command" of the plugin with your own package name and main function entry. I hope this can be helpful for painting enthusiasts.

  NDE and sampling confusion.
Posted by: teapot - 09-14-2026, 02:29 AM - Forum: General questions - No Replies

Hi,

I'm confused by how tools that sample a layer interact with non destructive editing. An example:

On a new layer filled with white:
Draw three green circles making sure they don't overlap.
Filters -> Distorts -> Ripple un-merged.
Set the foreground colour to red.
With the bucket fill tool click on one of the green shapes.
The layer doesn't fully update right away, that's already got a bug report, so toggle the layer's visibility off and then on to trigger an update.

What happens is the ripple is applied 'twice':
The bucket fill samples the layer including the visible un-merged ripple.
It writes the result of the bucket fill to the layer, this includes the ripple.
The un-merged ripple is still being applied to the layer.
The result is the whole layer is rippled twice even though all we did was bucket fill one of the three shapes.

I tried this in 3.2.4 and 3.2.6.
Is this expected behaviour?
If not what should it do and has it been reported?

  Inverting Grayscale measurement scale
Posted by: Chemtech - 09-13-2026, 01:36 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I'm working on making digital negative exposure curves for alternate photo processes.  Tutorials showing new curve creation using a step wedge show the step wedge scanned as 8-bit grayscale and loaded into PS, then the steps are measured using the Info window with white measuring 0% and black 100%.  I'm obviously trying to use GIMP and the grayscale measure tool measures the white step as 100% and the black as 0%.  Is there a way to invert the GIMP measurement scale so the white is measured as 0% and the black as 100%?  Or is Color>Invert the step wedge, and measure that, the only solution?
Thanks.

  Resize multiple PDF pages from A4 to A3.
Posted by: pascal079 - 09-12-2026, 07:28 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hello,

 I am French and am posting this with the help of a translator. I use GIMP 3.2 on Linux Mint. 

I have a multi-page PDF in A4 landscape format, and I would like to resize all the pages to A3, also in landscape format. 

Is this possible, and if so, how? 

Thanks.
