I've been using Gimp 2.8 for years and since 2.10, there are some behaviors I really don't get. I searched for hours on the net without finding solutions because I think I miss keywords. It's really simple, I have three layers, from the top to the bottom :
- Random white text - Layer opacity 10 which is a glow aura of the text - Black background
When I switch the black background to a transparent, the aura is diminished to the final export (see attachment). Why? My low opacity layer is the same whatever the situation, it's not supposed to behave according to the layer below it.
It gave me a lot of headaches for a long time. This behavior is clearly different from previous version of Gimp. I let 2.10 to the side for a long time because it literally destroys a lot of projects and I suspected a bug, but now it's 2.10.30 and it's still there. In 2.8 and before, layer is a layer, that's all, it doesn't disappear or change because of what you did on another layer. I feel like a total dumbass but can't manage to find anyone talk about it.
Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find anything using Search. Can someone please explain to me why it's not possible to enter (manually or copy and paste) a path in any of the dialogs for Open, Save, Export? It is so not user-friendly and I can't for the life of me imagine why it would be designed this way. And can someone please also tell me what the "Search" is for in these dialogs?
Recently my print portal changed and I can No longer modify paper type or print quality when using my Mac and Epson ET2027 printer. I’ve tan all the updates for GIMP, my OS, and the printer itself. I need to be able to edit the qualities
How can i take one jpg picture a apply its exposure/shutter speed to another image? I'm trying set the same exposure with gegl library under linux and in gimp. I want apply exposure from one image to multiple images. Any help appreciated.
I've installed a script whose window is longer than my screen height. It's only a test script so it's not an important one but, for future reference, is there anything I can do about it? eg: edit the script to have scrollbars appear.
All- I have seen this question on a few posts across the internet, so I wanted to just post our project that we just put up on the google play store. We were able to put the GIMP that we all know and love onto Android. You will find that it truly is the application that you are familiar with and we were able to optimize the touch interface experience. Would love if the group here gives it a try. You can find the link below. This is a paid version, but you can access a free version (with a little more work) through our UserLAnd app. Our GIMP app is a very smooth experience though and would recommend it. Thanks!
Edit: I will replace the google store with the link to the 'free' source https://userland.tech/
Any one interested in paying $1-99 , which is not a great amount , can use the link there to the Google store.
I'm learning the basics of using GIMP. I'm making a simple "color palette" for a design project.
I want to draw several rectangles, each as their own layer, and have that entire layer be the size of the rectangle.
When I click "New Layer" and draw the selection, I can color the selection, but the layer still has the size of the background layer (instead of the small rectangle, like I want).
I can manually resize the layer, but I'd assume there's a better way size the entire layer to the rectangle I want.
Similar to "HSV Hue", "HSV Saturation" and "HSV Value" i want to implement an "Alpha" layer blending mode which replaces the target alpha channel with the one of the input layer.
I'm not big into programming so luckily i can just use one of the aforementioned ones as a base.
The color space transformations aren't required and we don't need to do any math so the code should just be:
However, i can't get Gimp to build. Not that it fails; it's that the problem sits in front of the desk.
The tools don't link up and the libraries don't seem to work. I've already spent way more time into setting this up then coming up with the code seen above.
Personally i don't think it's worth putting more time into trying to make the building work so Could somebody implement these changes and upload a Windows build? (if it even works that way)
Setting this up as a plug-in would obviously be the better way but i have no idea how to do this, especially since i can't just copy and modify existing functions.
Please let me know if you can help or know a better solution
I wanted to darken a small text to make it more readable and discovered following issue. I typed a text and duplicated the layer a few times and the text becomes darker (this is normal). To move the darkened text I merged the text layers and the result was a normal layer with darkened text that can't be edited afterwards. The trick to edit the text afterwards is to save the drawing with the duplicated layers not merged, then load the drawing again and merge the text layers. The result is a normal layer (can't be edited). Now save the drawing and load it again. The 'normal' layer with the text is now converted to a editable text layer. When one edit the text, then the text darkness becomes as the original darkness. If the text duplicated layers are not edited, they stay darker.
I've been using Gimp for years but I'm a total novice. Is the dodge/burn tool the best way to remove shadows? At first I used a mask and tried messing with the exposure. That may work but my borders were not organic enough. The dodge tool seems to be working ok but having small issues. I did the front far leg and I am working on the rear far leg. I am running across an issue when I use the tool on certain areas of the leg a dark blue/green tint appears on the area. Any help would be appreciated. Thx!!
