  Menu Fonts | Low-Vision Access

Menu Fonts | Low-Vision Access

Is there a high contrast (white on black) theme with enlarged Menu Text, for low vision users?

If so where can I find it?

How do I add it to my GIMP setup?

Thanks for any thoughts.

  Compensating scanner distortion - looking for volunteers with a scanner
Posted by: Ofnuts - 02-28-2022, 10:40 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (16)

Looking for some volunteers with

  • Access to a flatbed scanner (or a printer/scanner combo)
  • Free time
The mission:

  1. Get the ofn-scanner-fix package
  2. Install and read the doc carefully
  3. Do the "acid test" on your scanner. How bad is it?
  4. Use the doc and the script to generate a compensation map
  5. What is the scanner error (first number in the parentheses)? What is the scanner make/model?
  6. Use the map to fix things
  7. Did it work? How well/badly?
  8. Any problems in particular?
The scanner doesn't need to be connected to Gimp, you can scan off-line (work scanner, if authorized of course), even if it is faster to scan directly in Gimp.

  File Open from Windows Network - WORKAROUND
Posted by: wysocki - 02-28-2022, 10:37 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I'm new to Gimp coming from Photoshop 5.5 on Windows. I edit a lot of images stored in many folders on shared network drives. I was in disbelief when I went to open some files there and tried to use the open file dialog. Searching the web provided no solutions.

I need a solution since there's no way to access a network share by just the URI (mapping a network share opens doors to malware infections spreading). I've tried setting up a symbolic link to the network drive with MKLINK but Gimp ignores it. And the same problem then comes up when doing a save as - you can't put it to a network folder. I found only one way to workaround this issue:

  1. Place a jpg file in the root of your network share.
  2. Open-location to the file.
  3. Open-file and reopen the same file.
  4. Open-file again and and you will now be in that root network folder where you can navigate!
  5. Now you can select some of the folders and add them to the "Places" in the left column for quick access (and rename them).
  6. And with access to these folders, you can get to the root folder from the navigation breadcrumbs at the top of the panel.
But REALLY!?
How are Windows users with networks using this software? Don't Linux people have networks?

  gimp window off screen
Posted by: gm40 - 02-28-2022, 03:13 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi,
I'm running gimp 2.10.12 within opensuse leap 15.3. I do use a two-sreen mode on and off. When I open gimp now its window is not matching any of the two screens. I'm also not able to resize the window to match the screen. The handle for pulling down the top shows up but doesn't do anything. So the bottom margin of the window is somewhere below the screen(s). Any picture that I open in gimp is only partially visible. I've searched the configuration files to find a parameter I could adjust and then open gimp again but haven't had any luck so far. I suspect this is a bug as I can't remember having experienced the same problem with gimp 2.8.
Thanks for any hint!

  How Did I Create This Border?
Posted by: kandesbunzler - 02-28-2022, 12:28 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Simple question: I made this border over a year ago and I can't figure out how I did it. How did I create this?

I did it without importing a grunge texture. If I remember correctly it started like: Select All, Shrink, Distort maybe?

  moving a layer ?
Posted by: abrogard - 02-28-2022, 07:35 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I'm a bit lost here.  gimp 2.10

I opened an image file.
I made a copy layer.
then I made another layer.
then I hid the first layer. the image file.
then I made active the top layer.
then I traced with the bush tool some feature from the underlying copy layer onto the top layer.
then I found with the move tool I could move the underlying layer all around the canvas, so that it was right off it if I liked.
But I can't move the top layer that I drew on at all.
what am I doing wrong?

  Too good a camera
Posted by: meetdilip - 02-27-2022, 11:46 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi, I took some pictures using a good camera ( mobile ). The camera is good enough to highlight all marks and skin texture. How do we touch up such a photo, mostly selfies using GIMP? Which tool to soften the skin a bit and possibly brighten too? Thanks.

  Delete works different with different tools
Posted by: biuro74 - 02-27-2022, 01:50 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi,

1. I've noticed something annoying - or maybe it's a special feature and it works as supposed ?

When I select some shape using a lasso tool, and use "Delete" key on that area, which is "edit-clear" function as I think, it erases an area with very nice edge antialiasing.
But when I select the same shape using a Magic Wand tool, and erase that area with "Delete" ley as well, edges are harsh, like in an old graphic editor which simply clears selected pixels.

This makes me very sick, as I do two-stage editing in majority of pictures: first stage is a shape select, reverse and background removal, then layer is being moved into another file... and I repeat that for few pictures. Second stage is detailing of all layers in new file, and here my problems begin - because what I have selected previously wasting many minutes, is not repeat-able as I don't want to double the time spent already for selecting area with lasso -> so I simply click MagicWand at background & select inverse. So easy, but erasing details give me sharp edges this time.

Do you know, how to make antialiased edges again ? I don't even think about feather, blur or similar options. How to clear selected area the same way, no matter with tool I use ? In both tools properties I've got "antialiasing" ticked on, I've got transparency (alpha channel).

2. Sometimes when I select some shape with lasso tool (usually when selecting comes over physical picture size - but Gimp shrinks selection automatically to picture size), click Layers->Transpareny->colour to alpha and use "Delete" key, some part of picture disappears. I've found a workaround to insert an alpha channel first, and then it all works fine. It's a bug for sure, where can I report it ?

Any clues appreciated.
Cheers
