  Debian stable is what I went with
Posted by: Tas_mania - 03-30-2024, 06:52 AM - Forum: Alternate Gimp packagings - Replies (1)

I've done a couple of installs now and have enjoyed using Debian 12 'Bookworm' so far. Stable is not the newest deb collection but I run the latest versions of Gimp and Firefox as AppImages so I don't care Smile

What I found? Debian puts-up a little ring fence to scare-off newbies but once past that you have the freest, most versatile system imaginable.

To get a lean and mean system decide what window manager you want first. I came from Xubuntu so I'm used to XFCE. I installed Gnome first and it looks like a mobile phone so 2nd install was just XFCE4.

Early on you see this: 'user is not in the sudoers file'
The solution is this:
#su -
#adduser user sudo                                                                 note. 'su -" is an actual command Smile

I came across an easy way to update. Add this to a .bashrc


Code:
alias update='sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt dist-upgrade && sudo apt autoremove --purge'

Then just open a term and type 'update'.

Thoughts on Ubuntu.
I came to understand Ubuntu and it's spin-offs better by reading Mark Shuttleworth's bio.
I think Shuttleworth has a few things in common with Elon Musk, but Shuttleworth actually lived on the International Space Station for some time. He probably started Ubuntu to make Debian more accessible to the masses and he succeeded. I read Ubuntu was started by people cherry-picked from the Debian mailing lists. That could be an issue. As I wrote here the M1cros0ft partnership makes no sense to me. How many MS products are open source? Hardly any. Windows 3.1 is not even open source and you wouldn't use it as a lawn sprinkler controller Smile

I'm making a 10 or so page picture book with my sister,  its only really basic sentences going in it for children to read.

Its got some abstract photos and some illustrations,  I just managed to get it together with my hap-hazzard ability to paint and draw.

  Suggestion on removing a pattern from a photo?
Posted by: Muzician - 03-28-2024, 04:37 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

Looking for suggestions on how to remove or reduce a pattern like this without destroying what detail there is. Including a Google Drive link since it's not letting me embed pics in posts. 

Thanks!

Photo Blending in Images into Mockups automatically
Posted by: kaiserart - 03-28-2024, 11:55 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (6)

Hello Guys,

I am currently setting up an online shop where i have mockups of digital art.
I am relatively new to gimp but i am fairly trusted with scripting/coding.
I already managed to write a plugin which rescales a file to several formats.

Now i want to fit an image into the empty mockups. Since i dont want to waste hours doing that manually, i want to automate this.

Example:
1. I have my blank Mockup Image
2. I have my image which does not yet fit into the mockup space
3. Now i have to insert the image into the mockup image
4. Now i have to rescale and move the image to the mockup space and make it blend in perfectly
5. Save the mockup with the inserted image

I want to automate this procedure so i can chose a set of images and then they get inserted into different mockups automatically.
Is there any function/plugin like this?
If no is it possible to create a fu-python plugin myself to achieve this?
Basically the mockup does not change. The empty space will always have the same position and size. I just have to fit the image to it.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help me!

Best Regards
Daniel

  Problem with 8bit bmp
Posted by: JayR1994 - 03-28-2024, 07:36 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi there
I need little help with gimp,.
I don't know if I'll get an answer because it also has to do with the old PC game.

Well, there is a game called TOCA 2: Touring cars
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOCA_2:_Touring_Cars

The PC edition of this game allows using custom car liveries. They must be of size 256 x 256 in 8 bit BMP.
Thanks to Gimp I can save 8-bit BMP because MS Paint or Photoshop cannot save 8bit BMP, and here's the problem, I did everything right but the car livery in the game are mess up. (im using gimp 2.10.36)

At first I thought I was using it on the wrong car but no, no matter what car I use, the livery iis still messed up, I don't know why? I had to download other car liveries from one website and they work without any problems there. Could someone explain to me what I did wrong?
Here website with already made car liveries by someone else
http://www.chez.com/samueltournier/toca2skins.htm

Of course, I understand that you don't have this game to check it, so how you get this game it's your problem, I have mine when it was added to one out of print magazine focusing to video games(not only).

It's surprising that such an old game started on win10, but it didn't allow you to play, fortunately there is a patch to fix that problem.
