Hi all, new here, first post. I'm running W11, and the latest GIMP version: 2.10.31 Rev 1.

I've been using GIMP for probably 10 years just for playing around, nothing really serious. I am completely self-taught, but for occasionally Googling or taking a peek at the manual. I've only learned what I had to learn to keep me going at the moment.

So I DLd the latest GIMP onto my new laptop and it was mostly okay, but I cannot get it arranged the way I used to have it, and the more I mess with it the worse it gets.

What I want is to get the toolbox anchored in the upper left corner, with the selected tool options anchored below it. And a year or so ago, quite by accident, I anchored the text selections in the upper right corner, which makes it much easier to use because it is much bigger.

Docking, Single Window Mode, yadda yadda, I can't figure out what I need and it's getting frustrating. I've been using Windows for 30 years and I know that what I need to do can be accomplished with a few clicks IF YOU KNOW WHAT TO CLICK AND WHAT THE DESCRIPTIONS MEAN. That's the problem.

At any rate, thanks for any help.

What methodology do you suggest to take a standard photograph (portrait), and make it look like it belongs as a part of Mount Rushmore?

hello.

in GIMP 2.8, is there a keyboard shortcut to cancel a selection tool?

specifically, i often use ‘fuzzy select tool' and apply a brightness, contrast or color balance to certain areas of an image. then i must again mouse-click fuzzy select tool, and then click on an area outside the image to clear the select tool. i know this isn't terrible, but is there an easier way to clear the tool so I can see what I have just done to the image?


thanks for helping.

I'm fairly new to GIMP, so maybe I'm doing something wrong. But when I crop an image, it leaves the pixelated background there. So when I reopen the image, you can see the area that was cropped (which shows as a white border in the attached screenshot. I have the "delete cropped pixels" box checked, so that shouldn't be happening. Can anyone suggest something I might be doing wrong?

• Worked out the math to generate a displace map
  
• Figured out that Gimp displace map doesn't work at all as described in the doc
  
• Worked out some more math to generate a displace map that pleases Gimp
  
• Eventually got some satisfactory results
  

   

   

Hi,

Starting with an image on an oversized canvas (ie. with space all around the image), I was wondering if there's to select a point on the image with the mouse and then snap this point to the centre of the canvas?

Hope this makes sense. I frequently have to centre scanned maps in this way and would like to find a way to do it quickly and precisely.

Thanks

Good day,
  I was given boxes of family albums.  Most I can separate the pictures, but others are the glue pages holding everything in place where the best I can do is remove the spiral binging and plastic overlay.  Picture counts and sizes will vary on each page.  Looking a batch scripts to separate the individual images in a scan  the most recent I see use deskew.exe to realign the images, but that doesn't seem to be around anymore.

  What are the current suggested workflows for doing this type of work.  Dust removal and color correction can happen later.  I have windows 10 macOS and Ubuntu Linux systems available so my options their are wide open.

Thank you for your time and suggestions,

-Patrick

Hello,

I would like to automatically get locations of multiple simple geometric forms from digitized maps ...

I have roughly 300 digitized maps (300 7 MB files) containing the positions of all allied and german units during the last year of world war 2. It is approximately 500 units * 300 days = 150000 locations.

Using the Gimp script-fu, I'm able to pre-process the maps and remove the backgrounds to keep the units symbols only. Attached is the light result map for the 6th of June 1944.

Is there any "simple" way, using gimp to separately detect the geometric unit symbols (rectangles with round inside, rectangles with cross inside, dashed rectangles, ...) and then get a corresponding position in the image?

I think at kind of convolutional algo ... ?

It is quite obvious for a single map to do it manually, but ... I would like to be able to insert this into a script-fu to run it automatically over the 300 map files.

I don't want to use heavy processing like AI for that ...

Thanks for your help.

Hi All

Is there way to take an outline of a shape then copy that so you just have the outline?

So example would be if you had a solid square, and you take a outline of that so you just have shape of the square. Hope that makes sense.

Have downloaded GIMP 2.10.32 - added resynthesizer plugin without any problems

When i try to use it, however, I get this
