Hi,

I am begining with gimp and please need an advice ; take a look to the jointed picture.

My question is : which is the best way to have :

1. the green only in the red shap (NO green out the red shape).
2. the blue only out of the red shape (NO blue in the red shape).

I tried several things, but I think that people with experience can help me a lot !

Thanks,

Big favor to ask of you scripting/programming gurus. I have three directories full of Gimp XCF layers and need help automating the combining of them, and exporting the resulting images as PNGs.

I'm agnostic to what language(s) are used, as long it'll run on a mac, specs below.

So the idea is to sequentially loop through the three directories, load one respective XCF layer from each, and export the three-layer combination as a PNG in a 4th directory.  The PNG filename could be a concatenation of the three XCF filenames used for each resultant image.

Directory structure looks like this:

ProjectName
  Layer1Files (top layer)
    A0.xcf
    A1.xcf
    A2.xcf
    A3.xcf
    A4.xcf
  Layer2Files (middle layer)
    B0.xcf
    B1.xcf
    B2.xcf
    B3.xcf
    B4.xcf
  Layer3Files (background layer)
    C0.xcf
    C1.xcf
    C2.xcf
    C3.xcf
    C4.xcf
  CombinedPngs (to be created)
    A0B0C0.png
    A0B0C1.png
    ...
    A0B0C4.png
    A0B1C0.png
    A0B1C1.png
    etc.

And so forth until we get from A0B0C0.png all the way to A4B4C4.png.

Mac is running Catalina 10.15.7
Gimp 2.10.24 per the Mac binary download.
Python 2.7.16 per MacOS default. (Though I understand this version is obsolete.)
Bash 3.2 is accessible (though zsh 5.7.1 is the default).
Scheme I've see mentioned but know nothing about.
Same with Fu.
Happy to upgrade and/or install whatever's needed to get this done.

THANK YOU to anyone willing to help with this!

Enhance sharpen does not work on a text field on Gimp 2.1.
On Gimp 2.8 you could use the enhance/sharpen in a text field or box??
I have tried this on Fedora and Debian.
On Xubuntu, Gimp 2.8 it works.

Hi folks, I need to add an image to my current project, but I need the image to have rounded corners.
What's the best way to achieve this?

From the G'MIC post on twitter, this will be the last version 2 as G'MIC is now working on a version 3 with.... hang-on... "Deep Learning"!!

I'd say I need to add a new black layer about 75% of the time I'm adding a new layer.  So it always struck me as a little odd that you get presented with several default options, but "black" isn't one of them.

All I'm after here is a way to add "black" as a default option so I don't have to sacrifice either my chosen foreground or background color to get it done.

Hello! Any tips on how to brighten the background only in a portrait? I have tried several techniques but it has ended up choppy each time. Thanks in advance!

This plugins tries to emulate someone hammering a pen on a paper to create hand-made stippling. Basically it converts a luminance map into random paintbrush strokes:

   

   

• this script tries harder to be luminosity-accurate
  
• this script is somewhat faster
  
• this script is is not as resource intensive (RDM blows the undo stack to gigantic proportions)
  
• RDM has some more functionalities
  

I tried many times but very bad quality when I try to add a box with the text. I have solved using WORD file and write a text with the COPY/PAST within GIMP image. How to solve text as it seem an issue with the resized text and vector behavior. Text is bad quality even used original fonts. Word file has very good quality. Can be improved text quality inside GIMP or I can use another options?

You can see WORD text and ERGO marked text within GIMP. It is distinctive difference. Should we use AI format to use text or there is an option?

Hey folks,

I'm using Gimp 2.10 and have the problem that a modification doesn't take effekt.

I created a text field (which is created automatically as a separate layer) with a specific text.
Then I wanted to change the contrast of the text/layer. In the contrast window I get the preview of how the "new" text will look like.
However when clicking on the "OK" button, the modification is withdrawn and the old text remains.

What could be the reason for that? And what could be done to get this issue fixed?


I'd be grateful for every hint!


Kind regards,
