Hello, 
how I can get this texture in gimp without a draw tablet?

Never had that problem, but then nothing of mine in a gallery.

Hi  everybody :

  How do I COPY a selection from one picture and PASTE that selection into another selected area of another picture

Hi everybody :
   I'm still learning GIMP.  How do I COPY a selection from one picture, and PASTE that selection into the selecvted area of my "main" picture ?
Thanks,

Attached is an admittedly bad scan of sheet music.  It is not being recognized by my piano notation software.

I'm familiar with Colors > Curves to clean up sheet music, but it is not working on this photo.

I saw Despeckle, but the only effect it seems to have is to make things worse.

I wish I could just capture a sample of the bad section, say "this is the pattern", and get rid of it.

Thanks

Hello,

I've been tasked to take over a linux-based project.  In that there are two PNG images, and their (source?) XCF files.  Available GIMP version on linux host is 2.08.
There is specific text that must be replaced into these PNG images as the development works towards the next version of the whole project.
Historically the PNG modifications have been done manually.  I'm looking to automate the task, and preferably with BASH (but I can make adjustments).
I have lots of linux SysAdmin, installation, automation and troubleshooting experience.  Until this project I haven't ever used GIMP; I've simply absorbed the existing task.

The process today is to manually copy "PNG1_20220814.xcf" to "PNG1_20221026.xcf" and copy "PNG2_20220814.xcf" to "PNG2_20221026.xcf".
Next I run "gimp PNG1_20221026.xcf"; and manually edit an existing text box (I then do the same thing with PNG2, but its text is in a different place, though the same content).
I use the TEXT tool (block letter "A"), highlight the date/time text and replace it, then I do the same for the verson number.
I then save the new XCF as is, and then Export the image to the same name as a PNG.  This is done for both images; manually.

PNG1/PNG2 text (standard/normal horizontal text):
         Title Line of what it is (unchanging)
         Date and time of the current version in this format:  "20221026@1922"
         New overall version number, in this format:   "MAJ.min.sml".............. examples: MAJ="218" . min="076" . sml="002"

The 'box' this text is in is transparent, the text is some dark shade of Blue for one, and Red for the other.  All of the text is bolded, and using font "Sans 18 px"

I don't know GIMP well enough to know how to describe digitally WHERE these text boxes are, just that I see them when GIMP opens each one up.


I could easily 'delete' the text box, and save a generic image without it, then use that as the source MASTER image forever.
Next, with a simple bash script, I would easily have the correct date/time stamp and proper version number information automatically available from other parts of the project.
I am seeking assistance in how to automate using GIMP, via Linux, in a strictly scripted fashion to automatically open the MASTER image, insert a new text box with the correct 3 lines of information at the specified coordinates, and then simply export the completed image as a PNG with a newly chosen name (as identified in the copy operation earlier).

I believe with some insight into how to automate inserting a 3 line transparent text box, say 20 pixels down from the top edge and 20 pixels in from the left edge, that I could finangle the process to place the text box in the right location with some iterative testing and logical guesswork.  And as long as the insight is also provide on how to open PNG1, do the right text insert for it, then PNG2 and do the right text insert for it, and could save each PNG.... then I'd be much more efficient.

I have done searches throughout out google and youtube, as well as searches against these forums without finding any answer that matched up to what I'm doing.

Thak you, and I appreciate your help.

Hi everybody :
   Whenever I try to use the CLONE tool, instead of actually cloning part of an image into another part.
   Instead of cloning part of the picture, I start  "painting" the color in the selected area.
