I'm a beginner in the field. Please help me solve a problem. I have a 2500x3500px image, which I have uploaded in GIMP, to make part of it transparent. Then I wanted it to be downloaded with 300 DPI. Although I set the "Scale Image" to 300 DPI, when I downloaded it, I only had a 120 DPI image.
I made several attempts but to no avail, GIMP refuse to download the image at 300 DPI.
Where am I going wrong?
Thank you.
When you make a grid and then do a crop, the selection with the mouse snaps to the grid automatically when you reach a grid line.
Can this be turned off too?
Hello all and thank in advance for your help with this unusual issue! I have been using Gimp for a very long time with no issues but recently whenever I create a selection using the fuzzy select tool and use the delete key to rub it out, I find that the remaining parts of the layer go semi-transparent. Can anybody tell me how to prevent this please?
I use ofn-export-layers a lot. Super useful plugin!
I noticed a very strange thing in windows 10 , GIMP 2.10.36
When ofn-export-layers is running (writing files) and I enter text anywhere on my computer, it adds characters I don't enter on my
keyboard like: ~ and ' and many more. So if I write "test", it adds random character in "test" which I dont really enter...
When ofn-export-layers has finished, this strange thing dissapears and I can enter text normally
Also ofn-export-layers runs very slow. Is this related to this?
I wanted to ask if the developer can tell me what this problem could be and if ofn-export-layers can be made faster (if possible).
So I need to wait to enter text anywhere until ofn-export-layers finished his work.
I use the method with the guides and 2 python scripts.
2 questions:
1. Is it possible to automate layer movement? The images all have the same size. The layer needs to be moved in order to fit the guides of size 150 px. Is there a plugin or script that can let me move a layer to a position by entering x,y values or something?
2. Is is possible for the ofn-export-layers to have {numUp0}.png appear automatically so that I don't need to enter it each time when i run gimp?
I am doing some 3D modelling/rendering and want to create a greyscale bump map from a profile...
The profile is for a scalloped panel, as seen here:
So I want to use that profile to create a grayscale bump map like this (Dark is lower, light is higher), that repeats in the y direction, but follows a path that is the profile I am after.. kind of like this:
I created this one using a feathered Border Selection from a single central line, but it creates, a peak at the top and bottom of the bump which is not what I am after.
I find that using standard gradients are too linear, and I would like to use a Bezier curve path as the source for the gradient. If that makes sense.
Ok, so first - trying to upload the xcf file failed because of file size, so the only file possible to upload correctly is this png export settings.
Here is the file description.
Layer 1 - importet PNG file, file size about 55kB
Layer 2 - same dimension and roughly same size, but not same image.
Layer 3 - New transparent layer.
The layer 3 mainly consists of small spots of non-transparent pixels created with clone tool, so it's just to add/remove some features of a map.
The problem is that after exporting this image file to png format, the resulting file size get over 6MB - that is about 100 times larger, I expected the output png file to be maybe around 70kB at maximum.
Edit : Solved while edit this post
Ok, just figured the solution. The image precision was set to 32 bit floating point, and by converting to 8 bit integer, the exported PNG file became a nice 77kB file.
I post this anyway in case somebody happens to stumble upon same issue.
So I have a receipt that I accidentally dropped on the floor of my car. Didnt notice it and it got stepped on, dirty, wrinkled, and distorted but it turns out I actually really need it to make a return. And it cant be looked up by credit card, it was a cash receipt. So I scanned it, cropped it, converted it to black and white, and did a little bit of manual clean up. Already that did a massive amount of clean up but I would like to go a step further. A lot of the text is cracked and partly unreadable and the bar code has a crease through it. At the very least I would like the lettering especially for the transaction number to be crisp and readable. If possible I would also like to fix up the bar code. I wonder if I can actually get it to scan. So any tips for filling in the cracks in the text and cleaning up the barcode would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
**Note: For the image I uploaded I did block out specific details to keep it anonymous. Besides its only so you can see what Im working with. Not for you to do it for me. Thanks!
