  Python, something completely different...
Posted by: denzjos - 08-09-2025, 09:29 AM - Forum: Watercooler - Replies (4)

The British Post Office is releasing a special series of 10 stamps honoring the British comedy collective Monty Python. Nice! Four of the stamps depict scenes from the film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," which was released exactly 50 years ago this year. The remaining six stamps feature the members of Monty Python: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin.
When I'm walking through Bruges, Belgium, and hear a horse-drawn carriage approaching, I always think of the scene with the coconut. I'll say to my wife, coconut sound, John Cleese's coming. I've never heard a reaction from the tourists around me... Monty Python humor, a little different ?

  Can I use the move tool to move the image without moving the layer?
Posted by: blogsofwardotme - 08-07-2025, 10:35 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi there, I regularly update Gimp now 3.0.4, but it still drives me crazy the image moving all over the place when I pull a selection string or just scrolling the image around with my trackpad.  Do mac user find it more stable downloaded from macports? in the meantime I tried to use the move tool to move the image but it moves the layer too. Thank you

  Creating a Flyer in GIMP with a Multi URL QR Code
Posted by: GibsontheIbsen - 08-06-2025, 04:05 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

I wanted to design a flyer in GIMP that includes a multi URL QR code, wich is basically one code that sends people to a page with multiple links (my website, social media and a contact form). I didn’t feel like installing any Python plugins or messing with the GIMP plug-in folder, so I kept it simple and did everything outside GIMP, then imported the result.


What I did:

  1. I used a QR generator that supports multiple links. Most modern services allow you to create a multi URL QR code using a dynamic landing page inside their service. I added all my links and customized the page with my logo and colors.
  2. I exported the QR code as a PNG. The site lets you download in high resolution, and even vector formats if needed. PNG worked fine for my case.
  3. I opened my flyer project in GIMP and imported the QR code.
    I used File > Open as Layers to bring in the QR PNG, then scaled it down while keeping interpolation set to None to preserve sharp edges (blurry codes leads to huge scan fails).
  4. I added a small label below it “Scan for links” to make it obvious.
  5. Tested the scan at actual print size using my phone camera. Worked right away.

  Faster PCIe 8.0 slot: The future.
Posted by: denzjos - 08-06-2025, 06:45 AM - Forum: Watercooler - Replies (5)

I have PCIe 3 slots on my computer (I used CPUID CPU-Z to find the version). The PC works fine. New PCs may have PCIe 5 slots and in the near future PCIe 6 slots. Currently, one is developing a PCIe version 8:

  Color function "equalize" is different to earlier versions
Posted by: Merlin - 08-05-2025, 06:25 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.99 & Gimp 3.0 - Replies (2)

I have been using the “equalize” function to correct images with poor color matching. 
Menu: Colors - Automatic - Equalize
Python: t = layer.equalize(False)
This worked well in Gimp version 2.10.38. In Gimp version 3.0.4, the result is different. Based on the histograms, I suspect that this is due to the processing of the images in the linear color space. Unfortunately, the results of version 3.0.4 are significantly worse (too bright), regardless of the format of the source images (integer, float, linear, non-linear). 
How can I get the results of the earlier versions back in version 3.0.4?

  Editing the Open File dialogue's recent list
Posted by: Michkov - 08-05-2025, 01:45 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hello everyone. I'm trying to customize the UI of my GIMP installation and would like to remove all the default items, i.e. everything in the yellow box in the attached image, from dialogue.

I tried right clicking them, but the removal option is disabled. How would I go about getting rid of them?

Thanks

  Adding to a section, Shift doesn't work on macbook
Posted by: blogsofwardotme - 08-04-2025, 04:31 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi, when selecting with the free selection too (lasso) I can't never get to the end because it closes before I am finished. I tried pressing shift to ad but absolutely nothing happens on mac sonoma. I found there is "add" but I don't see it under the selection menu, neither in help. 
Thank you.

  Looking for a tool for editorial design
Posted by: Mel987 - 08-02-2025, 01:58 AM - Forum: Other graphics software - Replies (2)

Hi! Does anybody know about an open software specialized for editorial design? I know about Inkscape but I think that it's more equivalent to sofwares like CorelDraw or Illustrator, I would like to know if there's an equivanet for something more like InDesign.

Thanks for reading my question!
