I drew a simple line drawing with a marker on a transparency sheet.
Then I scanned it to create a digital image of the drawing on my computer.
Now I would like to do 2 things with the image:

1) Make the image solid black on a white background... Removing shade and color variance while retaining image sharpness
2) Make the program show all the little vector points so I can smooth out the line imperfections 1 by 1.

I'll include the drawing in case it helps.

   

Hello Everyone,

I've switched over to Gimp from Photoshop and the process here just seems insanely bulky. Am I missing something? I've created several custom brushes and dynamics, but each needs to be selected separately every time I switch to a different brush, and every time I switch between the Pencil, Paintbrush, and Eraser tools. Is it possible to link custom brushes to the Pencil, Paintbrush, and Eraser tool? Is it possible to link custom dynamics to custom brushes? If not, how do you guys handle your workflow???

Thanks,
RITA

so i just switched from 2.8 to 2.10 from https://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_p...p_portable



1st thing
i miss hue-saturation tool from toolbox (edit > preferences > toolbox) if any 1 know folder location of tools i believe i could just copy and paste it from older version
since that exact same thing worked with theme and language folder
or maybe its gone forever?

2nd thing
on 2.8 pressing X (the one in upper right corner of whole window) while i had any image open (or multiple images) did just close last active image and then when all images are closed X was well closing gimp itself
but now X brings window that warns me there are images with unsaved changes and do i want to discard them
then just closes if i chose to discard
my question here is is there a way/option to revert it back to as it was in 2.8 like i described above?

Brand new to this.  This is basic, but I've been through several tutorials and can't seem to figure this out, everything involves manually tracing the image which seems impossible to me by mouse.  

How do I change the color from white to something else?

Thanks so much!

I am using GIMP 2.10.14 in Windows 10 64bit.  For whatever reason, GIMP will not open any png files.  This includes those I have created by exporting as png and then trying to open them back into GIMP.  Other packages seem to have no trouble opening them.  If I use other packages to convert png files to jpg, GIMP will open them.

I have tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling GIMP and I have tried to bring png files into GIMP with - Windows 'open with', and GIMP open file.  Nothing works.  It appears to be a permission problem.  See below.

Please help.    

I did this years ago, but I've forgot now

cutting the face of one person and merging it onto another one.


I remember that there was a plugin or something to handle the edge

Would anyone tell me??

Not sure how to word this right because google hasn't helped me at all. Basically, I have a peanut shape and I am trying to alter the word inside the peanut to fit, stretch it on the ends to be rounded and squashed in the middle. not sure if there is a way to do this but if so please help?

I made a new layer to trace part of the image with the path tool and fill it in with color to solve the blur on a simple cartoon eye as the wonderful akovia showed me in a message. Then I copy pasted (for the 2nd eye) I realized the boundary was as big as the image itself, meaning the dash-lined square around the item, is all the way out so it's harder to move around and resize. How do I bring it in to fit the item?

I'm trying to copy paste something but it becomes a faded version for some reason. The image has an alpha channel underneath, and I paste to a new layer after I copy it. I've tried with fuzzy select and the rectangle tool and the result happened both times. Why is this??

I pasted this mouth onto the cloud and resized it to fit but it's blurrier than the rest of it. All the videos I've seen on sharpening something seem so complicated like messing around with the color shades and I don't know why there are so many steps for something straight forward...is there any simple method of doing it?

I tried to attach the .xcf file for reference but it says "Request Entity Too Large"

Nevermind, I was able to find this article explaining it in steps that seem appropriately basic..will fiddle around with the radius/amount/threshold settings to figure out what'll look best https://effectphoto.blogspot.com/2015/05...-gimp.html
