Pulled out my old linux  Autopano (was an alternative to Hugin) & stitched 3 photographs for the top image. Otherwise touched up with Gimp 2.10.14 Bottom pair ? Just nice curves.

I run into images like this over and over and just curious if I'm overlooking a better solution to repairing them. I'm only dealing with anime images, so a heavy handed approach with filters can sometimes work without completely ruining the image, but I was hopping there might be a better combination of filters or techniques.

These images do not have the distinct moire dots that are able to be descreened with some measure of success. My guess is the original sources were scaled down before descreening and this was the result? In any case, has anyone else run into images like this, and how did you deal with it?

   

This is my quick and dirty heavy-handed approach. I'm not sure that any approach would be able to preserve the finer details, but keeping that to a minimum while smoothing out the hard specks is certainly the dream.

G'MIC:
smooth [diffusion]
smooth [bilateral]
smooth[guided]
sharpen [inverse diffusion]

   

These images are usually from very old anime, and there just aren't better sources out there. I'm doing my best to make some of these images somewhat presentable for media centers, as new artwork will never become available again. (and I certainly do not have the talent to draw something that could pass for the original) 

Any input is most welcome!

1. I'm on the right layer + nothing is currently selected
2. I have the fuzzy tool in "add" mode
3. Threshold is at the default of 15
4. I just reset the default values, closed the program and then reopened it and it's still doing this. 

It currently selects the image itself but not the background. Any idea what's going on?

Hello everyone!

Dear rich2005, I really appreciate your previous help. Now again, I would like to know if the Beautify Plug-in has any problems with the texture-border? Every time I run it informs me that the texture was not found.

Since 2.10.18 (and I think this problem may have started in 2.10.16) the brush engine is constantly creating hot pixels in areas with transparency.

The engine now does mip-mapping I think.  This may be the cause.  I even tried making brush sizes in powers of 2 (like 16,32,64,128 ...) hoping it might fix the issue.  It doesn't.

I may need some help joining the bug reporting site instead of just posting here.  Having full color bit map brushes is one of the advantages that puts Gimp ahead of Photoshop, and it now appears broken.

I would like to create a series of images by systematically varying just one parameter of a filter (e.g., changing the X1 or X2 input to Fractal Trace). As a GIMP beginner, it appears to me that for each new image, I have to re-open my source image, make all the initial parameter selections, change the value of the selected parameter, and then export the image. Is there a way to automate this process or at least to minimize the number of manual inputs?

I have noticed an annoying behavior with text layers.  I have a project with several text layers.  Now and again, when I try to move the vertical origin of the text in a layer by picking up the size bar at the top, all of my text resets to a very small size when I release the sizing bar.  I have to then manually restore the text size it to the size it was (undo doesn't seem to work).  Other formatting such as bold or font color is retained.  I can't reproduce the issue at will, but wonder if it is related to text layers overlapping one another.

Gimp 2.10.14

• 6 check boxes, one for each possible guide
  
• 3 check boxes, one for each horizontal/vertical pair and one for the center guides
  
• 2 check boxes, one for the 4 outer guides and one for the two center guides (those can also be two distinct menu entries, since both would rarely be used together)
  
• other combinations
  
  

Hi !
With gimp 2.10.12 I exported file .tiff with option including layers
I can read modify file with gimp or others tools but I can't replace them or suppress them in directory,

How to suppress old files in directory ?? I have tried several tools eraser, etc .. without success

Thanks for your feedback

Hello all,
  
 When using the paths tool with a Veikk A30 drawing tablet I have been running into an issue where Im only able to make 3 to 5 nodes before my path just disappears. Mouse works fine when creating Paths (I've check the tablet settings and everything looks normal). I can start a path with the mouse then continue with the pen/tablet and it seems to work for a bit but if I change tools then go back to the path tool, it starts doing it again. 
   Any ideas?    Thank you.
