  Saving a font after you've created it (not downloading and saving)
Posted by: usmdesigner - 10-25-2017, 04:06 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I find myself trying to recreate the font I used for my youtube thumbnails all the time.  Is there a way once I have the font edited that I can save it for later use? 

I have to resize every time, change it to the font I like, then apply affects.

  Problem installing GIMP (make stage)

 I get the following error in the “make -j3 && make -j3 install” stage (link https://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography...tists.html):

I have checked and these .png files look like normal .png files. I have got libpng version 1.6.28 installed. Is this an issue with the version libpng installed? How do I fix this?

  Pspi and 8bf ?
Posted by: Bastien - 10-24-2017, 09:11 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

Hi, I am new to this forum and have been using Gimp since it started on Windows.

I guess my question has already been asked several times.
I want to use some 8bf Photoshop plugins.
the pspi file that allows this use is no longer working since version 2.8 of Gimp. Do you know of any other solution?

  Project image onto curve
Posted by: Akir - 10-23-2017, 02:13 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (7)

Hey all,
I'm looking for a way to project a picture onto a cylinder like here: http://gimpforums.com/thread-project-ima...tary-curve
- progressively shorten one axis while leaving the other axis unchanged. I get the idea of the displacement map, but I can't get the gradient right - I don't really get ofnut's formula, nor how to implement it into a gradient...
Thanks in advance,
Akir

  Three Layers in One
Posted by: rich2005 - 10-23-2017, 09:35 AM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - Replies (1)

This came up in another section.
Three images divided up into equal(-ish) sections. A useful topic as it introduces some of the basic Gimp tools and editing aids.

   

Guides and Grids: https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-concepts-i...uides.html
Layer masks: https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-dialogs-st...layer-mask
Selection tools: https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tools-selection.html

A bit of composition in the layer dialogue...and of course, it has all been done before in the documents https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-image-combining.html

For better or worse my take on the subject 5 minutes duration

  GIMP doesn't respond when closing down
Posted by: lpvmc - 10-22-2017, 01:01 PM - Forum: Installation and usage - Replies (8)

Hi,

When I want to close GIMP and click the cross-box in the main screen it closes only partially, since the tool boxes left and right of the screen stay open and tell me that GIMP doesn't respond. Clicking them separately wil finally close them.

Any suggestions?

Kindest regards, Leo.

Thumbs Up How do I create a gradient map from an image? [solved]
Posted by: Dave Rove - 10-22-2017, 08:43 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (13)

How do I create a gradient map from an image?

If I have an image that I know started off as greyscale and that somebody has colourized it with a gradient map, and that the resultant image is sufficiently detailed to have all 256 lightness values mapped to a colour -- then how do I create a colour gradient map from that image so that I can colourize images similarly myself?

I know that this is possible because I did it myself a few years back and I have the .ggr gradient maps that resulted, but Google has failed me now and I've forgotten how I did it.

  Removing graph lines from image
Posted by: taratears - 10-21-2017, 08:21 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

        I need to remove the lines from the following image. It was recommended that I use threshold. When I tried that, it removed some of them, but not all of them. In addition, it turned it black and white. Is there anything else that can be done?
