  Replacing background procedure questions
Posted by: Danbor - 03-08-2024, 07:50 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

Hello everyone. 
   I recently purchased a book on restoring old photos with Gimp. Good book, learning a lot. 
   However, I've ran into some questions trying to follow the outlined procedure for replacing the background of an image. Yes, I know there are other ways to get the job done. However, getting the job done isn't the point of the exercise. Learning the software is. And to do that, I need to process more input to fix in my mind just what each step is doing.
   If anyone is interested in tackling the questions I have, there is a .txt file attached outlining the procedure with my questions inserted after the puzzling steps.
   Thanks in advance!

  Aide prélèvement de zone GIMP
Posted by: timoufti - 03-08-2024, 03:58 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (9)

Bonjour à toutes et tous,

J’aurais besoin d’un peu d’aide si toutefois cela est possible, car je ne trouve pas et n’arrive pas à faire ce que je veux sur GIMP.

Je voudrais appliquer la texture, ton, couleur, saturation d’une zone de mon image sur une autre zone de celle-ci, mais après multiples tentatives je n’arrive pas au résultat escompté Sad


Je m’adresse donc à vous, car je ne pratique pas vraiment ce logiciel et malgré avoir regardé plusieurs tutos je sèche...

Je vous joins une capture vous indiquant la zone à prélever et la zone où je voudrais que se soit appliqué. (flèche bleu zone à prélever, flèche noir zone à appliquer)

Je ne sais pas si cela est possible, mais si parmi vous quelqu’un à une solution je suis preneur, sinon j’abandonnerais cette idée Smile

Merci de m’avoir lu et merci par avance pour vos retours !

A++

  Need to paste an image onto an unorthadox shaped template
Posted by: mikey boy - 03-08-2024, 01:00 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hi Guys & Gals,

I am struggling to figure out how to do something and can't seem to find the appropriate tutorial.

I have a template for a playing card box and i want to paste an image onto the shape of the box (imagine a card box unfolded out - its not got a shape i can refer to).

Is there a tutorial anyone can recommend, i know i can add layer masks, but its the shape of the template that throws me once these are added. I need the excess of the image removed, leaving just the shape of the template, ready for it to go to print.

Any help would be appreciated as it is for a gift.

I have added the template i am using in svg format.


I figured it out, select area and paste into selection.

  Changing saturation levels in green channel
Posted by: Coralie - 03-08-2024, 04:48 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi everyone,
I am a new user of GIMP.
As you can see in the attached picture, I am trying to remove the overpowering green lines by changing the level of saturation for the green channel only.
When I try this using the Hue-saturation window and selecting the green channel, it work but also applies it to the red and blue so I lose the information from the other channels.
I need to modify the red also, but I have no idea how to achieve this.
Any suggestions on this would be much appreciated.
Coralie

  Gimp UI text unreadable on Mac OS Sonoma
Posted by: dsimonson - 03-07-2024, 08:09 PM - Forum: OSX - Replies (1)

Downloaded latest version of Gimp (2.10.36) in march 2024 to run on Mac OS Sonoma. It appears to run fine, but it's hard to say because I can't read any of the UI text! All I see are boxes containing unicode numbers.
     I have 2 macs running Sonoma and have the same issue on both of them. I've also seen other Mac Sonoma users online reporting the same issue. Seems like it would not be that hard to fix for a Gimp developer who's aware of the problem. I'm hoping such a person will see this or hear about the issue and correct it. It'd be nice to be able to use Gimp on my Mac!

Question Script Collection Online
Posted by: calvin123 - 03-07-2024, 04:45 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - No Replies

Hi,

I am wondering if there is something like an online Gimp Script Fu collection, where you can see what others are doing, get some insights etc.
and also are able to share it?
I created my first script and wanted to share it somewhere because it was quite some work creating it.

Cheers
cal

  Ive got some gimp pictures to show
Posted by: jigsawpuzzle666 - 03-07-2024, 03:29 PM - Forum: Gallery - Replies (5)

So these are all from imagination, so they turn out a little funny sometimes,   I have changed styles from intentional to accidental.
It seems to add qualities I dont think of when drawing intentionally alone.

They are actually made out of the textured brushes, and I apply them to the canvas very carefully in a certain way to maximize the liklihood of the picture im after.
Its kinda interesting, I can talk more if you want.

So do you any of you guys gamble a little when you do art?  Big Grin 

And yes, they are mostly of cats.

  More help with color changes
Posted by: rinaldop - 03-07-2024, 08:46 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I have 15 images that go from this 
   
to this 
   
middle like this 
   
and finally to this 
   

I want to change the colors from orange and black to blue and purple. Is there an easy way to do this perhaps in BIMP or is there a way to create these images from scratch? I see them used as temperature gauges in many pc stat displays like here.

  Layer Mode: Addition equation is working differently to official guide
Posted by: wonder13662 - 03-07-2024, 04:41 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi, I'm a newbie and using GIMP(2.10.36) on Mac for several months. I have a question about Layer Mode: Addition.

According to the official guide, the Addition equation is "The pixel values of the upper and lower layers are added to each other. The resulting image is usually lighter."

So I made my own example to make sure this equation.

[Image: 2024-03-07_04-25-30-7bd241c35c31532650ca...0238e7.png]

[Image: 2024-03-07_04-25-30-446547fafc72833db53c...d39bdc.jpg]
1. Top Layer(RGB Red): 227.0 
2. Bottom Layer(RGB Red): 53.0
3. Resulting Image(RGB Red): 232.0

As far as I know, the Addition equation would be "E = min((M + I), 255)". According to the equation, "E = min((227.0  + 53.0), 255)" should yield 255. However, I got 232.0 as a result. Why does it happen?

  Exported pdf files are significantly bigger than before
Posted by: BlueRay - 03-06-2024, 03:08 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

A few weeks ago I updated all the programs on my manjaro Linux laptop, including gimp. Today I used this updated gimp and tried to make some small changes to a PDF file and then to export it again as PDF. 

On this latest version of gimp (2.10.36) such an exported PDF file turned out to have 3.7 Mb. 

On the previous version of gimp (2.10. 28) the same pdf file with the same adjustments and settings when exported as pdf has only about 475 Kb.

Everyone can probably replicate the same thing if you open a smaller PDF file in gimp 2.10.36 (let's say around 400 Kb) and even without any changes export that same file as PDF. The exported file will be significantly larger than the original. However I presume that this might happen only with PDF files that contain scanned images. I haven't experimented with plain text PDF files.

I wonder why this change was introduced into the latest gimp version which is available for the installation on manjaro (2.10.36)? It doesn't make sense to have a significantly larger file which is not better in any way than the smaller one from previous versions of gimp.
