I'm trying to figure out how to apply soft proofing in Gimp.
I use the following:
Operating system is Debian Bullseye
Gimp is 2.10.22
My system has been colour corrected using a Spyder5 and DisplayCalc, and applied system wide using xcalib. My monitor is a Dell U2412M ultrasharp. Colour correction provides only a minor change in appearance.
My printer is an Epson XP960 and this works well via Gimp Print and also via Gimp gutenprint. Printed colours are reasonably close to the screen images, but I wish to explore the Gimp softproof option.
hi, im new to gimp.
When using gimp i ran into a problem where a yellow square appeared and i could not work around it. i found this thread that told me to uncheck the "Show layer boundary" but after doing that i still could not work around where the yellow square was. i have no idea how to make it so that i can work around it.
is there a way to get around this?
I expect performing bulk/batch editing a group of negative-images (say for example 40 negative-images) running following commands on GIMP
Colors -> Auto -> White Balance
and then
Colors -> Linear Invert
A folk on another thread advised me to do it through layer;
1. Create a new layer
2. Copy 40 negative-images on new layer
3. Perform editing one negative-image, then the rest negative-images would be automatically edited simultaneously.
I have 2 GIMP versions:-
GIMP 2.10.18
Ubuntu 20.04 desktop
G'MIC-Qt (Filter plugin)
Goat-Exercise
is it somehow possible to make a mosaic that is completely flat, ie has zero height,
or: zero width bevel around each tile? I have seen posts here and there asking
for this but can't figure out if it has been somehow achieved or not...
I am Rajesh from India. I am a beginner in the field of image editing. I was searching the internet for cool GIMP effects and I came across this one (image attached).
Can anybody please tell me how this effect (image attached) is achieved. It will be of a great help if a link to the detailed tutorial on this one is given.
Moved on to Ubuntu 22.04 (or one of the spin-offs) ? Then installed Gimp only to find your python plugins no longer work. One option is use a Gimp flatpak, although it is sandboxed which has some drawbacks.
This is about using the regular Gimp installation. I found the old packages to install gimp-python had too many incompatibilities, too many 'broken' to remove.
Fortunately there is a linux 'appimage' that you can use to start a regular Gimp 2.10 and add python support.
(edit: For 'buntu 22.04 there is a bit of a twist, it requires the application 'fuse' which is deprecated, no longer supported. You can install this which removes the installed fuse3, but it might be better to keep that newer version.)
No longer needed if you use the appimage launcher
So the installation procedure goes:
Install Gimp 2.10
Code:
sudo apt install gimp
Install python 2.7
Code:
sudo apt install python2
Put the appimage in its own folder, make sure it is executable, and from that folder unpack it.
An extra: A regular Ubuntu being Gnome DE does not spoil the user with utilities. Nothing easy to create a launcher or .desktop file. There is the alacarte package available. In true Ubuntu style it is broken, so attached is a little desktop-file-creator. Unzip it and run it.
I write this because today I almost got stuck installing the Resynthesizer plugin, and its dependencies so if it can help some one to not run across internet for a while....
Using my wife's laptop for few days now (GIMP 2.10.30 PPA from Panda Jim, Ubuntu-MATE 20.04.4 LTS just updated her laptop system yesterday after a year without update)
... and I saw that I did not have the resynthesizer plugin in GIMP, heal selection, heal transparency...
I did check "Python -V" Python 2.7.18 was there, so it's not python2
So trying to install gimp-python...
Code:
sudo apt install gimp-python
But Ubuntu removed it from the apt list, no more, nada, finish
I did found this discussion https://discuss.pixls.us/t/gimp-python-n...4/17769/21 but the links got a 404 error
Looks like Ubuntu get some pleasure to make it difficult for us...
From any given color image file, I want to obtain 3 individual image files as black & white (grayscale) positive images, one for each of the RGB primary color channels. In chemical photo terms, these would be B&W color separations. How can this be done?
This the inevitable video demo:
