  Half Way There
Posted by: sallyanne - 09-28-2022, 09:25 AM - Forum: Other graphics software - Replies (7)

I think.
I want to make a svg file/vector that can open in any image viewer. I have done it as an Inkscape svg but it is saved as the inkscape logo. I assume you need the program on your computer to open it. I tried uploading it to my Drive and opening it but couldn't. Is there a way I can do this in Inkscape or do I need another program?

  Changing Texture?
Posted by: richiie - 09-27-2022, 10:50 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hey again y'all

Before I start I'd like to say thanks for taking the time to read this. I sincerely appreciate you all Smile

I am currently trying to make a mockup for a tshirt i am designing and I could use your help adding "texture" to the font. To be more clear I am trying to incorporate the lights and darks as well as the wrinkles onto the text.


Thanks again, don't stress to much and have a great day Smile

  Gimp stops responding during large rotate
Posted by: BigGojira - 09-27-2022, 06:53 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I have a large image that I tried to rotate by some small amount (+0.3 degrees), and GIMP froze solid about three quarters of the way through.  Just confirm I restarted GIMP and loaded the same image and tried the same thing again (thank god I had just saved it).  This time it worked, though it seemed a bit dodgy right at the end, like it almost didn't work.

I'm on 2.10 so if that's the problem let me know and I'll upgrade.  If not, maybe it's a memory issue?  Do I need to do something to make GIMP use more memory?  Or some other issue perhaps.  Let's see, Windows 10 Home 64 bit, not sure what else yall might need to know. Image properties: 5138 x 7042 pixels, RGB color, 17.1 MB file size, 659.6 MB in memory.  I have 16 GB installed on this system, and virtual memory should be good for much more unless Windows has punked me there somehow.

  Paste image into another and reposition it
Posted by: fixit7 - 09-27-2022, 02:18 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I am trying to paste one image into another.

I tried this, but it does not allow me to reposition the image.

But the "paste into" option allows the user to move the pasted portion.

Thanks.

  Merging 2 photo's 1 side at the center remains unclear
Posted by: snowmansion - 09-26-2022, 06:52 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

   

When trying to scan a centerfold I usually divide them in 2 separate scans which I then try to merge in GIMP.

I open the 2 scans via File - Open as layers in GIMP and then set the canvassize in such a way they both fit. After aligning them I click on Image and then merging all layers together. 

However this issue I then face is that exactly on the middlepoint one part of the image is vague while the other one seems to have a better clear quality.
See the picture attached.  You see that the right part is more yellow and more clear while the left part is a bit vague. 
How can I change this so that all side have more clarity? I now use the Clone/Heal and sometimes the smudge option, however this is time consuming. Is there any way this can be done automatically?

Thanks in advance.

  Copy text in Gimp console
Posted by: Gimpnik - 09-25-2022, 10:59 AM - Forum: Scripting questions - No Replies

State:
   Gimp: 2.10.32
   OS: Win7 x32-Bit

If commands are executed by batch script, the Gimp console opens and there a certain sequence is displayed line by line. However, in contrast to Windows cmd.exe console, the lines can't be copied by right-clicking, but awkwardly via the nested context menu with right-click above the title bar (Edit => Select | Select all | ...).

It is possible to redirect the entire output of the console to a file, e.g. something like:

Code:
[size=medium][font=serif, Consolas]"%gimp%" -i --verbose -b "(BatchCropToContent \"*.png\")" -b "(gimp-quit 0)">"Output_GimpScript.txt"[/font][/size]
however, this does not solve the desire indicated here to be able to quickly copy a text section directly in the Gimp console.


Is there a possibility to remove this restriction and how?

  Accelerate processing of Gimp scripts
Posted by: Gimpnik - 09-25-2022, 10:11 AM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (4)

State:
   Gimp: 2.10.32
   OS: Win7 x32-Bit

Processing of tool scripts is unnecessarily slowed down:
Currently it is the case that when batch processing is performed by Gimp via external batch script (tested here especially under Windows), it is noticeable that gimp.exe starts in a new process instance each time, which unnecessarily slows down the repetition of scripts or execution of further commands, since Gimp first uploads all its modules each time - or even worse for each command line in the script. An unnecessary nonsense.
So it would be much more superior and faster, if there would be a parameter here to let gimp.exe load once into RAM and stay there until it is not explicitly removed from there something by (gimp-quit 0).
Under "gimp-2.10.exe --help" however no further parameters are listed at present, which force the execution of the Gimp console in already running instance.
 
And concretely on the example: A following processing under Windows leads currently per gimp.exe command line a delay of around 5 s, so with next following both command line per gimp.exe thus at least (2* 5 =) ~ 10 s are wasted:

Code:
PushD %~dp0
 
set "gimp=%ProgramFiles%\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.10.exe"
set "FileExtens=PNG"
 
"%gimp%" -i -b "(batch-crop-to-content \"*.%FileExtens%\")"
"%gimp%" -i -b "(scale \"*.%FileExtens%\")"
"%gimp%" -i -b "(rotate \"*.%FileExtens%\")"
 
(In addition there is the closing of Gimp, which is also somewhat delayed).

Suggestions for improvement?

  MyPaint Brush stopped working after Ubuntu upgrade
Posted by: mirta - 09-24-2022, 08:22 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I just upgraded my Ubuntu to 22.04.1 and after the upgrade, the "MyPaint Brush" tool in Gimp has stopped recognizing pen pressure. Other brushes work normally, it's just this tool that doesn't have any pressure anymore. I tried deinstalling and reinstalling gimp, but it hasn't worked.
This is the brush library from MyPaint that Gimp can access and use, right? It's been working normally until the Ubuntu upgrade.

Is anyone else having a similar problem?
