  Gimp crashes when scaling images
Posted by: dcvas - 05-18-2022, 09:30 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

Hi,

I have recently found that when I scale down an image, Gimp stalls, becomes unresponsive and then I have to close it down.

Example of image size is 7360 x 4912 (9.13 MB) scaling down to 1080 x 1080. I've been using Gimp your the past 3 + years and have never come across this issue until recently. It's not my machine, everything works perfect in Inkscape etc...

Version 2.10.30 (downloaded from gimp.org)

Machine: PC Specialist, Windows 11 Pro, 16GB ram, 1TB SSD, Intel Core i7 11th generation, intel iRIS Xe graphics card.

Any help would be much appreciated ?

  tinting and toning a B&W image
Posted by: rtravistlh - 05-17-2022, 10:56 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I want to be able to tint and tone black & white images (as separate tasks – not with the same image at the same time).

Tinting and toning are not colorizing.

In chemical photo terms, tinting and toning have separate meanings. Tinting a B&W image a desired color is equivalent to looking at that image through a color filter, or printing a B&W image on a solid-color paper. Toning is when the densities of a B&W image are converted to a selected color, with the grey scale varied as concentrations of that color, from white (lightest areas) to full-color (darkest ares).

Colorizing is something else entirely.

How do I tint and tone B&W images?

  I really like gimp
Posted by: chris64 - 05-16-2022, 07:45 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I really like gimp. However, I'm a mac user. Gimp has become buggy. I'm going to stay with Gimp for as long as I can but I need to make a plan of what to do IF gimp becomes to buggy to be usable with mac. Does anyone have any suggestions for different software that works with mac? I'm also considering to install a windows emulator that runs on mac. I will then install gimp for windows and run it on mac.

I'd like feedback on both of these options
1. suggestions for similar software to gimp that runs on mac
2. Run gimp for windows on my mac by running it through a windows emulator.

Photo Ticket to Ride Bretagne - Fan extension
Posted by: LinettRidge - 05-15-2022, 08:40 PM - Forum: Gallery - Replies (9)

Hello to all,

Several years in the making, but here it is: A [/url][url=https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jm2kSaTWtuxFr4qLb_PT28zMovDvyS9b]fan extension of the board game Ticket to Ride. 

   

This was possible because Gimp exists and I am very grateful for that.

I am also grateful for the help received from Ofnuts, rich2005 and Kevin regarding the Gimp scripts to format the name of the cities. 

Many thanks,

Linett.

I have an image and I cut out the middle and want to fill the transparent middle part by dragging in the remaining image from the edges of the cut out part.

Any ideas?

  Newsprint filter or other method?
Posted by: MacLaddy - 05-15-2022, 06:15 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

Hey Folks,

I am hoping I can get some help with recreating an image into a "hatch" file that consists only of black and white lines or dots. Attached is an attempt of mine to create this using the Newsprint Filter. The problem with my attempt is the areas of greyscale. I need something that is simply and only full black and full white. The width and frequency of the lines will convey the image brightness. 

An example of what I'm attempting is shown in this YouTube video, where the author uses a CNC program to recreate an image of Steve Jobs with the black and white hatch.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVOYCy6h...dex=1&t=1s

About 4:50 in the video shows a closeup of the final product, showing how the image is portrayed with full black and white. 

Is this possible in GIMP? I appreciate the help.

  .webp Musings
Posted by: rickk - 05-11-2022, 03:01 AM - Forum: Gallery - No Replies

This surprised me a bit. I wanted to add the "illuminated" red text to the above cartoon. And of course .gif does not support partial transparency, so the glow around the letters was a problem.


See my "work in progress" screen here (large)  https://i.imgur.com/aHVH8nA.png

As you will notice, I was planning on using the full sized background file, with just a smaller layer to show the reddened text. Utilizing the (combine) attribute on both layers. This strategy  has worked well for me with gifs numerous times...but alas the partial transparency....so I decided to go with .webp

And, it worked.  But I was surprised to discover that gimp automatically generated a duplicate of the back ground layer in it's entirety, and combined that with the red letters to create a new second layer, at full size. You can download the above image and open it in gimp to verify.
Basically it "deoptimized" the animation, in conventional .gif parlance

Which gave me sort of a "duh" moment, realizing that I could have done the same thing with a gif, and managed the partial transparency in a way that .gif would not plunder.

But, there is a silver lining.  The .webp version is still half the file size compared to a "doctored" gif version.
