  GIMP 2.8.22 : Image pixelated through saving and reopening, how to refine?
Posted by: Songbird - 08-03-2022, 03:54 AM - Forum: Older Gimp versions (2.8, 2.6....) - Replies (3)

AAAHHHH!!!!  I had to restart my computer to fix an issue it was having, so I saved my image I've been working on in GIMP (2.8.22), then restarted my computer. But when I opened my saved image to work on it some more, I found it super pixel-y!!! How do I get it back to how it was (only pixel-y at 400% zoom!)??

  Old GImp's configure test (for gtk) is broken?
Posted by: kromak - 08-02-2022, 03:15 PM - Forum: Linux and other Unixen - Replies (1)

Hello. Trying to compile old Gimp (2.6) leads to this error message:

Code:
checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.12.1... no
*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed.
configure: error: Test for GTK+ failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help.

The problem is, I am passing gtk to gimp's configure, as can be seen in the end of the following command:

Code:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Glib-2.28.0/lib/  ./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gimp/Babl-0.0.22/lib/pkgconfig/:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gimp/Gegl-0.0.22/lib/pkgconfig/:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Glib-2.28.0/lib/pkgconfig/:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gtk+-2.24.20/lib/pkgconfig/

I read config.log, and there it is said

Code:
configure:28134: checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.12.1
configure:28290: result: no
configure:28328: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Winit-self -Wpointer-arith -Wold-style-definition  -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gtk+-2.24.20/include/  conftest.c   >&5
conftest.c:47:21: fatal error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory
 #include <gtk/gtk.h>

Beased on that, I tried to add:
Code:
CPPFLAGS=-I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gtk+-2.24.20/include/
to see if configure would find the required header

It didn't work. Finally, I changed it to:
Code:
CPPFLAGS=-I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gtk+-2.24.20/include/gtk-2.0/

but once again, it did not work. In case of doubts, the gtk folder does exists, as the gtk.h header, both inside the gtk-2.0 folder

This happened on both versions that I tested, 2.6.0 and 2.6.12 (not interested in newer versions)

So, what might be the cause of this?

  Loss of quality while trying text effects
Posted by: meetdilip - 08-02-2022, 04:22 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

When I try to add a gradient to the text by selecting it using " Select by colour" or " Magic wand tool ", I get distorted effect like this. Not sure what is the best way to select the text without these burrs at the edges

It is far from smooth in most cases

  Python
Posted by: IAmNegan - 07-31-2022, 04:16 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

It looks like you don’t have to install python support with Gimp 2.10.xx. So I’m guessing python support is bundled with the gimp binary installers. If so what gimp version was that introduced.

  Trouble With Simple Background Change
Posted by: EarBud - 07-31-2022, 04:39 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Hello,

I have a GIMP image with three layers of green text and a transparent background.  I simply want to add a new white background layer behind them, but when I do, the new layer is green instead of white, and it also appears to be in the front even though it shows as the bottom layer in the Layer Window.  This, of course, causes the three original layers to be hidden.

I've tried using the Fill Tool to change this layer to white, but it doesn't work (the layer stays green, very close to the color of the other three layers).  I've even tried exporting it as a .jpg file but when it is flattened the solid green layer still covers the original three layers.

This seems like such a simple task, but I'm running out of ideas.  Any suggestions welcome!

Thanks.

  White outline when using free select.
Posted by: Brothan - 07-30-2022, 03:46 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

No idea what is going on but whenever I cut/copy + paste a free selected area I get a stupid-ass white outline: https://imgur.com/a/g93egSx

Yet EVERY OTHER cutting tool doesn't do this. I legitimately do not understand why this stupid-ass program is doing this. I do not have feather edges selected.

Photo Installing resynthezier plugin on Manjaro
Posted by: ben - 07-28-2022, 08:10 PM - Forum: Linux and other Unixen - Replies (3)

I am currently trying to install the resynthesizer plug-in on GIMP 2.10.32. My OS is Manjaro Linux. To do this, I tried the method suggested by rich2005 in this thread. While I do now have the resynthesizer tool, I do not have the very useful heal selection tool, or at least not a functional one. Some help would be appreciated
