  How to colorize cobbled road
Posted by: Thomasson - 02-26-2023, 04:35 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

Hello everybody Smile 
I'm interested in colorization of old photos. Sometimes I encounter a problem with cobbled roads/streets. For example this photo taken in 1930s. How to automatically colorize it without laborius selecting some stones and makinh them reddish and others bluish? Like in this color photo? https://www.dreamstime.com/ancient-windi...e103076500

Photo How do you increase an images resolution?
Posted by: Power Grown - 02-25-2023, 10:16 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I need to increase the resolution of my company logo so when I print it on my product labels and instructions it will be more clear. The image is a small picture and I like to enlarge it for the instructions but it becomes fuzzy when I do. Can someone fix it for me and then tell me how to do it so I will know in the future?

  Venetian blind effect
Posted by: karlkane - 02-24-2023, 10:47 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (15)

HI everyone,

I am both new to this forum, and new to gimp/photo shop, and am in a bit of a pickle.
I have been asked to edit a couple of pictures in a particular way which has me kind of lost. Essentially I have been asked to serrate the image into vertical strips or columns of a particular pixel width.
There are two pics, L1 and R1. These are to be cut into vertical strips (say 100 strips but this will change) and laid out left pic strip 1, then right picture strip 1, then left picture strip 2, right picture strip 2, L3 then R3, L4 then R4 etc etc. Like a vertical blind.

However, a gap (or black strip - B) of a particular pixel width between each strip is also necessary. So it will run L1 then B then R1, L2 then B then R2, L3 then B then R3 etc etc. 

Apologies if this turns out to be a very simple or idiotic question, but I am very new to this. Steep learning curve I expect.

Something akin to the image below, with the white stripes being replaced with black stripes.

  Remove background with image of the Background
Posted by: Guppy - 02-23-2023, 05:39 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hey everyone! 
I have 2 Screenshots from a game. One is a textured Background. The other is a screenshot of a bear in front of the same background. Now I want to remove the background from the bear-image, so that only the bear remains with a transparent background. So to say, every pixel that is the same in both images should be deleted, but the differences (the bear) should stay. I don't know if the background is exactly the same, so a little bit of Variation might be required. 

Is this possible with Gimp? If yes, how can I do it? 

I already found the "substract" option in layers. This creates a black background, with the bear silhouette visible. but "inside" the bear I can see the textures of the background, not the bear itself.  I want the bear in its original form and the background transprent instead of black. 

Thank you for all your answers!

  Text Effect
Posted by: meetdilip - 02-22-2023, 11:00 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Too many screenshots for here, so a combined one: https://i.imgur.com/ei7191w.jpg
(1) Is the text formed in a background image Uses the text layer to make a layer mask.
(2) Is a flat outline layer Uses the text path to stroke a new layer
(3) Is the outline layer with a bumpmap applied
(4) The bumpmap used. Comes from the outline and blurred.

Hi,

Step 1:


Not sure how to do it. I selected the text, then moved to background image layer and " Add a layer mask "


I am able to do step 2. I selected the text, used shrink = 4px

3. I am not sure what info to pass on for the bump map. I tried Filters > Map > Bumpmap

But none of the sliders is causing any effect on the golden outline layer.

Exclamation Random issues occurring
Posted by: TheUser - 02-22-2023, 08:43 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hello, this is my first time posting here so sorry if i didn't post this in the right place, but i am having 2 different issues that seem to occur randomly.
1: This only started happening today, but the gradient tool doesn't let me place a point and drag a second to another spot. Is this something i accidentally changed, or is this an issue? I don't remember changing anything related to it.
2: When typing in a text-box, the font selector does not do anything. Yes, i have selected all text in the text box, and i have re-opened gimp many times and it keeps happening. On random days it will decide to work but the next time i go to use gimp the font selector stops working again.

Any help with these issues is much appreciated, thank you all in advance.

  BIMP Not installing
Posted by: Taggs - 02-22-2023, 01:48 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (4)

I've moved my GIMP 2.10.32 installation from my C drive to D drive due to space issues.  Since then I can't get the BIMP add-on to work.

I've run the installer from here (I'm running Windows 10 64bit) but the option does not appear on the file menu.  I've checked my add-on folder location and it is pointing to the correct place.

Any help to get this working would be much appreciated, as I use the add-on regularly and it saves me a lot time.

Many thanks

Video Lock Text Box Format
Posted by: michaelh88 - 02-21-2023, 10:48 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Is it possible to lock the text box formatting so that when I copy and paste text from my notepad into the text box it doesn't change the formatting each time?

I work on advertisements for several car dealers and build out templates so I can just copy and paste new vehicle information into different text boxes and each box has it on formatting for colors and sizes. But when pasting new information into these boxes it keeps converting back to the original formatting of the text box instead of keeping my formatted changes.

  How To fade one picture into nothingness
Posted by: Edward99 - 02-21-2023, 03:58 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

Good morning all.

Huge GIMP fan.

I was wondering...and am sure you can do it, just haven't figured out how... to evenly fade a transparency.

The example below is 2 images, flag of Croatia and European Union.

So, the idea would be to apply an even fade out of transparency to the Croatian flag (top layer) to fade into the image behind it - European union flag.

If anyone can suggest how to do this, I'd be most appreciative.

It's not Tools/gradient, is it a mask I'm trying to evenly fade out?  Lost on this.
