  newbie im afraid
Posted by: rhyshuelin - 06-07-2020, 01:42 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi guys i'm new to the forum and new to GIMP i'm afraid. I hope that someone may be able to help?  I am starting a new business and have designed a new label in canva.  The problem is the triangles on the label at the moment are purple and I seem to be unable to change the colour of them.  I have 20 products in total and each product needs a different colour.  Is there an easy way to be able to change the colour 20 times and maybe make the labels a little less blurry when zooming in.  Thanks in advance, I have attached a copy of the label (jpg) so you can see what I mean.  Thanks in advance

  How does one make an image/layer transparent?
Posted by: JTWrite - 06-06-2020, 11:00 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Please keep in mind that I am mostly ignorant when it comes to using Gimp 2.1.  I am making a cover for the book I just finished.  The main image I'm using for the front cover needs to be made slightly transparent.  Here's what I've done:  First I clicked on the image (which is, I believe, my second layer) and then used the "Opacity" menu on the right to try and adjust the image.  What I get is a checkerboard.  Totally weird, at least from this newbie's point of view.  What is happening and how do I get this to work for me.  (BTW something I read seemed to suggest that it mattered what type of file your image was saved as.  This is a JPEG.)

  Pasting from the Clipboard created by PrtScr key
Posted by: alanm - 06-06-2020, 01:50 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (1)

I have been unable to discover a way for a script to paste from the clipboard (clipboard image created by "PrtScr" key). I can obviously use the edit>paste option to do it manually (which works), but the procedure in a script using "gimp-edit-paste-as-new-image" does not return an image. I realise that the procedure notes state

"This procedure pastes a copy of the internal GIMP edit buffer to a new image. The GIMP edit buffer will be empty unless a call was previously made to either 'gimp-edit-cut' or 'gimp-edit-copy'. This procedure returns the new image or -1 if the edit buffer was empty."

and the clipboard is not mentioned (whereas it is in pasting brushes and patterns).

I have not been able to find anything on this after many hours of searching.

My question is "Is it possible in TinyScheme/ScriptFu?"

  What happened to my image?
Posted by: Dr.Dank - 06-06-2020, 07:42 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

Greetings Gimp Users,

I'm a total beginner with Gimp and am completely stumped. I combined two images by layering one over the other. I zoomed in to one layer and touched up some details with the clone tool. When I zoomed back out, the whole image (both layers) is covered in black dots. An example of what I mean by "black dots" is attached. Why did this happen? I can't figure out how to undo it so I want to avoid doing it again. Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dank

Hey I made some scripts and tools for making frame animations on Gimp I hope they are useful, please let me know if there are any issues or things you might also want.

List :
Layer group duplication
Onion skin effect
Set visible or Opacity of all layers
Create a layer group with X amount of frames (lower than 60)

Here's a video tutorial on using them : https://youtu.be/g1zaQ89nTQU

  Add Glow to png
Posted by: Rob1955 - 06-05-2020, 10:58 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I'm trying to design my own smart watch faces, for my watch, which I've done before, by copying images, and editing them. I've found a png watch face I want to use, but on the background I'm using, it doesn't stand out very well, so I want to add a glowing effect to the image. Can this be done? I've seen tutorials, on creating text, and giving it a glow, but this image is already created.
