  Plugin for special black-level to apply at greater levels
Posted by: robertkjr3d - Yesterday, 12:17 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

I really can see use of the in the case of planetary objects such as the Moon/Sun. "Astrophotography" shots.  Where the pattern of the light is brighter on the outer-edge of the disc (maybe) and you might want to apply a black-level from the outer edge inward at greater levels..... Or visa-versa (depending on the shot.)  It would be nice to have control like that. 

Some anti-vignetting tools give some control to apply similar controls to what I'm talking about.  But a custom Black-Level tool if someone knew how to create one would be cool.  Or 'Contrast-Apply' tool.

sometimes if I'm doing a half-moon, it may not be a perfect circle.  so it should work with the box-select and/or free-select tool.
or if you can think of another solution.  

Obviously I get by with 'Levels', 'Curves' and Balancing the 'Shadows-Highlights' screens.

Can't access this site, both FF and Chrome say there are too many redirects.

Is it working for you?

  Time to Leave Ubuntu - don't update to 24.04
Posted by: Tas_mania - Yesterday, 04:28 AM - Forum: Alternate Gimp packagings - No Replies

After investigating what's going on (wrong) with Ubuntu 24.04 I've come to the conclusion it's permanent.

   

Canonical and Msoft has been working together for some years now with Msoft attending Ubuntu conferences. Nothing wrong with that except these are contradictory economic systems. Ubuntu get most of their software for free from Debian and volunteer programmers. Somehow this good will has been corporatized in a partnership that is supposed to be good for the users. I don't believe it. This is all about money.

It was just a matter of time before Ubuntu started breaking -down.

   

The problem with Msoft is they force people to jump thru endless hoops and deviations to get anything done. I don't like that.

So I'm moving on possibly to Debian. Debian 12.5 looks good and is a reputable distribution. BTW I don't thing Mint is going to be sucked-in to the Canonical vortex Smile

  Crash/Freeze on Large Image File
Posted by: Punchcard - 03-16-2024, 12:19 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

Windows 7 64 bit
16 GB memory
Gimp 2.10.36
560 MB TIF file

When working with Selecting in a 560 MB TIF file, Gimp became unresponsive.
After bouncing around with Fuzzy and Invert, I think I was using By Color when Gimp got fed up.
It did recognize a mouse click on the "x" to exit, though.

When Selecting in the 500 MB image, memory usage went to about 7.5 GB, not all Gimp.
But I didn't catch Task Manager's display when Gimp fizzled.

Is there some way I can gather info to identify the cause?

  Background removal
Posted by: rinaldop - 03-15-2024, 09:36 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Hello yet again,

I have learned a LOT by experimenting and watching tutorials but my next problem maybe impossible to solve with an automated tool. I am trying to remove the background of the following 2 images leaving only the dials and the numbers on the outer ring and also remove the center hole.

I tried an auto background tool, change color by selection, changing chroma, but too much gets removed. Unless the experts here can help my last option is to use the free selection tool to remove the background by hand.

Thanks!

  Gimp Custom Fonts
Posted by: rich2005 - 03-14-2024, 01:02 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (2)

An old topic that IMHO is worth a review. Gimp Custom Fonts. These are not true fonts such as something.ttf or something.otf, they are graphics, assembled from a Gimp .xcf file using a utility script. Unlike regular fonts, as all bitmaps, they can suffer with extremes of scaling.

   

Two scripts attached, unzip for
(1) custom_font.scm This will make a stand-alone banner with transparency. Add it to your project.
(2) custom_font_on_path.py Creates the graphic text along a path in your project.
They both register in Filters -> Custom Fonts

The history,  Gimp custom fonts started here:  PhotoFont http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=14040 included for historical purposes, have a quick look and go straight to;
Custom Font script http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=14045&start=0
There are some ready-made .xcf custom font files there for download.

Most of the ready-made font files were posted on the gimplearn forum which is gone. They are being gradually re-posted see:
Custom Fonts for 2024  http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=20703
Custom Fonts for 2023 http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=20295
Custom Fonts from GimpLearn 2020 http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=20664&start=0
Custom Fonts from GimpLearn 2019  http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=20396

Many of the custom fonts on GimpChat are large files and have been split into separate .7z (7-zip) archives.
A utility (there are others) for unpacking 7-zip is peazip https://peazip.github.io/ and there is a python plugin for combining the resulting partial .xcf files into one. See: The GimpChat posts.

Want to make your own custom fonts ?

  I started a YouTube channel
Posted by: katz01 - 03-13-2024, 11:36 AM - Forum: Gallery - Replies (3)

I started a YouTube channel and go by the name Tim the Blue Mage. The channel has been posting regular update for about a month now and I thought I would post about it here... in a forum that I post in once a year.

Below are links to a couple of videos that the users of this forum might find relevant. Please leave feedback either here or in the corresponding video.

Thank you.
