Hi, I'm trying to open a .psd file in GIMP, but the "Fracles" part, that is supposed to be 3 layers shows like a folder. How can I open it? Or is this a feature that does not exist in GIMP?
Thanks
hi guys,
glad i found the forum, lurked about for a while
my problem is........i make skins for games, all fine there, but they are usually matt, which is all ok for the ones i was doing, but now i need a shiny surface on some parts, say aluminium on a plane etc.
i have tried various ways, dragging the alpha1 into layers, painting areas i need in greyscale, light.dark etc, draging back onto channels, de activating, flatten image add alpha, the plane for example is still there and finished, but its still matte?
it has to be saved as a dds file.
if it helps, i want to use gimp fully, atm i use PS to make my image, save as ps file, open in gimp add alpha export dds, reason being im not familliar yet with all of gimps ways, but learning and ps dont support dds in win 10
thank you for your time n help, sorry bout long 1st post and hpe you get what i mean
I have just started learning gimp, (only have an experience of using it of few days) because i needed to make a vector illustration for a project, I am only left with 10 days for the project and i still havent drawn even 1 vector illustration where as i need to create three, i started drawing using path tool but its very time taking for the intricate design I have sketched so i was trying to convert it into vector illustration using gimp and inkscape but the youtube videos i was watching were quite old so couldnt really get it done...anybody knows any way?
the illustration is for a huge object so if i do it using gimp and inkscape would it be good enough?
I have been using Image | Slice using Guides and like it very much. I am wondering if there is a way to slide an image if the guidelines are actually part of the image. My thought is to have a mail merge that creates "pages" of smaller images that are separated by very identifiable lines, such as think, red dashed lines.
So I'm new to making animated things, and I'm not sure if there is a way to make a single-pixel switch from being red, with a glow effect, to slowly change to green, with a light effect as well, and then blue with the same properties and back again. It might be very simple to do but I personally just can't figure it out. Any help would be appriciated.
Perhaps GIMP is not the right tool for me, but people say you can do anything in GIMP so I'll at least try.
Programs I do feel home in is MS Paint, Deluxe Paint IV for the Amiga and MacPaint. Yes, I'm old.
Whenever I look at a tutorial, they say "select X from your toolbox". I don't have X in my toolbox. Did I miss some step somewhere? The toolbox is there but has no (to me) useful tools in it. Screenshot attached. Do I need to activate or bring up something?
More things, where can I choose colors and shapes to draw with? How can I draw circles, rectangles, triangles and the like? Is there a skin or something to "dumb down" the interface to appeal to MS Paint users, but with more tools available IF you need them? For example, in MS Paint I can't make a rectangular selection and scale it on the fly (WYSIWYG), whereas in GIMP, this is possible and I did succeed with it, once.
I upgraded from some older version to 2.10.28, but it looks identical.
Hi. I'm brand new to GIMP and am pretty deep into a project. I just realized that I've got a problem that occured about 40(!) exports ago (I'm saving each step individually) and I really don't want to have to go back to where it first happened. I'm operating with an image saved as .png, and realized that at some point I moved the original layer when I meant to move a new one. It was exported this way, and now has the grey checkered background on the left and top sides. If I move it around the whole image seems to still be there, but I can't get it recentered. I've tried the alignment tool, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Here's a picture (not the one I'm working with since it's private at the moment), showing my problem in case I'm not describing it correctly. Does anyone know what to do?
uh...it doesn't have the background. Does that mean my original image won't when I post it?
I have a file with around 30 emojis with space all around them. All other areas are transparent. Is it possible to export them as individual emojis ? They are currently in a single layer now. Thanks.
I was wondering if there was a way to make it so that a layer is completely transparent, and every pixel behind the layer is inverted, no matter where it is dragged. Kinda like they did in sonic mania, if anyone's played that. I want to be able to drag the mask around and take the effect with it. Can someone help out?
