  Grid issues...
Posted by: swiss2008 - 02-15-2022, 05:30 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (19)

Hello guys, 

I'm trying to get the hang of grids but really struggling, does anyone have a step by step guide?  

I need to print off some tiles, on a piece of paper 60in by 40in, 152.400cm by 101.600cm.

I keep trying to put a grid on it with the cells 32.5cm by 21.5cm but they keep on coming out wrong and I don't know why, can someone talk me through it?

Thank you so much in advance...  Blush

  Swappable iPhone/Screen Mockups in Gimp?
Posted by: oguruma - 02-15-2022, 05:29 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I've used a few Photoshop templates in the past to create iPhone/Computer screen mockups.

They typically work by replacing a layer that houses the content, which will then show on the screen of the iPhone.

I've tried opening one in Gimp and it doesn't work the same way (nor did I really expect it to).

Assuming I had a png of an iPhone (or computer or whatever) in which the screen was transparent, how do I make a layer that will show up in the phone, which can be easily replaced from project to project.

Link to example

Hi everybody!

I'd like to know how I could solve the issue 0xc000007b error I get when i launch the Gfig plugin exe.

My computer is Windows 10 64 bits run. I guess some 32 v 64 bits issue, but I am not sure.

Thanks for your help.

  How To Do Path Thing?
Posted by: abrogard - 02-15-2022, 08:28 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

creating a path which is actually following a long convoluted trail through an image of a large stretch of bushland.

Instructions don't mention how to stop doing it.  Just pick another tool?

They don't mention how to keep it - just happens automatically when I save the image?

Doesn't make clear to me if I must convert to a selection. ?

Not sure if I have to 'stroke' it ?

Can I come back to it and edit it next time - continue it as one path or does it get 'frozen' once 'stroked' etc ?

p.s.
And if I can step back to a most primitive basic question:

I always immediately make a copy layer in the belief that this way I'm ensuring I'll no way damage my original image.
Is this a bit daft?  Would I get just as much protection if I immediately simply save the image with a new name?

But anyway, having done it, created a copy layer to work on I'm always thinking I should then delete that original layer and then I'm safe, all connection with my original now broken.  Is that equally daft?

p.p.s. I suppose there's no way to get back a path that disappeared?

I couldn't find how to end the making of a path no matter where I looked. In the finish I read something that suggested double clicking on the last node would do it. So I did that. All seemed peaceful. So then I selected the move tool.
The path immediately disappeared and wouldn't come back.

That was a good half hour's work. How to use the path tool? Including 'stop using' the path tool?

Photo Drawing wavy border lines?
Posted by: oguruma - 02-15-2022, 01:54 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I want to draw a wavy border "rolling-hill" background. Specifically this is for flyers/business cards.

I think I see how I could do that by just drawing a line, and connecting the nodes, but is there any way I can do that by starting with a rectangle and skewing the top line of the rectangle?

Hey Gimp fam,

Hope yall are doing great. I am working on adding a polaroid effect to a set of pictures I took similar to the one below.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eSYQC8N6tACs9zQjs44Gsx2EPMuUqQbT/view?usp=sharing

However, I would like to change the text on the side of the borders "KODAK PORTRA..." to my artist handle "VISUALS BY RICH" while still maintaining the font, glow, etc.

Can y'all please give me the steps on how to do this.

Thanks and happy Vday, my heart goes out to all of you Smile
