  BIMP, install problem and curves with it
Posted by: PixLab - 10-08-2022, 08:20 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (12)

Hi,

Good to know > I never really used BIMP, I'm a xnconvert guy (it has curves as well), and use exclusively Linux.

Having said that, I'm trying to implement batch process in a company, although I have to use do it with Xnview/xnConvert, and could implement this in no time, I would like to do it with GIMP/BIMP... just to have one software workflow (and a good license).

So, I'm trying to install BIMP on a M$ windows 7 with GIMP 2.10.32, downloaded directly from there https://alessandrofrancesconi.it/projects/bimp/ this seems to not gonna to happen, it says it cannot find where GIMP is installed (can't do screenshot now, it's week-end), tried many things, like browsing folders via the installer, tried to put that exe thing in the plug-in as well, this does not work as re-starting GIMP did not put it in the File > Batch Image Manipulation in the menu , nothing-nada..
Any thoughts?
BTW this windoz 7 is not my computer, it a computer from a staff I'm training for a company, yes I got full rights on that windoz 7

Another problem I did some try with BIMP and curves > this time on my computer (it's a *buntu 20.04, and yes I did clean the curves history after that screenshot, "Threshold" was the more impressive to clean Big Grin )
I saved a curve setting named test

   

then in BIMP > add another procedure > search for "curves" input "test",  

   

and as a result...
I got something from another world... I'm sure it's even from another galaxy, literally unusable image

   

What am I doing wrong?

  The best technique for realistic highlights?
Posted by: norolim - 10-07-2022, 01:44 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hi guys. I've seen some Photoshop masters of photo manipulation, like Benny productions for example, that use blend-if functionality to make the highlights blend better with the object. Here is an example in tutorial: https://youtu.be/2dpWkJeU7TM?t=370, and this is from Benny - https://youtu.be/yUPIChL7_x8?t=427. Is it possible to achieve this in GIMP? Maybe with Color to Alpha? I tried to do it like this:


[Image: hfDKTQc.png]


With color to alpha applied to the first layer (also mask to selection to affect only the area of the highlights)but the results are not very good.

This is the source image in pexels. (I also decreased the temperature and exposure.)

  Brush Settings When Stroking Path
Posted by: rickk - 10-05-2022, 05:01 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (23)

On the linked image, the top graphic is a brush.   The next graphic down is a line created by stroking a straight  path with that brush.

The third line is stroking a slightly bowed path, again with the same brush.  Note all the gaps and imperfections.

Am I just missing something that needs to be done to smooth this out?

I've pondered just using something out of the "distorts" menu, since the curvature I need in this instance is small. But sincerely wonder if there is just some brush setting that I am overlooking?  I've run into this problem a number of times and have never found a suitable solution.
(TIA)

  Using Alpha To Selection
Posted by: Lucasuk - 10-05-2022, 11:36 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi there 

New to the forum and GIMP

I have been using CS2 for years ( I know really old!!!  Big Grin ) but got fed up with it and been trying out GIMP.
Been going ok so far but one question i have is about using Alpha To Selection

I want to put mulit photos into a shape so looked at videos etc... and found that adding Alpha to Selection on the shape then putting a layer mask on the picture would put this in the shape.

Problem i have is how to do remove the alpha selection afterwards as any layer effect i would to do on something else only happens on that layer.
So example is if i wanted to do a drop shadow on text it wont appear but go on the shape with the alpha select on it.

Sure i am doing something wrong.

Cheers

This is one of those stories where multiple machines get stuck trying to rescue a stuck machine. I've seen this happen and it can get ugly.
BTW. HeavyD will try to sell you some green supplements which is how UTube is going - ad breaks in the videos and ads inside the videos. Thankfully they don't do it on music clips Smile

  Auto adjust colors so that second image colors matches
Posted by: Grobe - 10-02-2022, 04:36 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Disclaimer: Before posting this thread, I realized I don't know exact to express the problem so that it give sense. I give it a shot anyway.

Situation: I have to photos that are taken by help of a tripod, delayed some seconds from each other. The point is there is a moving object so that I'll plan to put the latest photo as a layer above, make a mask and then draw the mask so that only one subject are visible. I've done similar before (same moving bike appear several times on same image).

However, there is a minor problem that occur quite often. If the camera re-adjust between the photos taken, the colors may be too different to be usable without manually tweaking. This always work but takes extra time, and I might regret afterwards (because adjusted too much or less) when it is too late and I have to do every thing over again to fix the outcome.

Here is the question. When I do have two images in Gimp, same image/motive but when the second image was taken, background/ambient light was causing the camera to re-adjust. Then, is there a method that make it possible to select a region (or whole image area) and then say that image1 should be the base, and Image2 would auto-adjust so that all the pixel colors in image2 transforms in such a way that it color-wise matches image1 as close as possible ?
